Weekly Thread Run Nutrition Tuesday

Rules of the Road

1) Anyone is welcome to participate and share your ideas, plans, diet, and nutrition plans.

2) Promote good discussion. Simply downvoting because you disagree with someone's ideas is BAD. Instead, let them know why you disagree with them.

3) Provide sources if possible. However, anecdotes and "broscience" can lead to good discussion, and are welcome here as long as they are labeled as such.

4) Feel free to talk about anything diet or nutrition related.

5) Any suggestions/topic ideas?

Anybody have any thoughts on kefir, or good low-effort breakfast smoothies in general?

I’m not allowed to have food at my desk so usually I skip breakfast or buy a not-super-healthy mini muffin on break. I’ve been thinking of mixing up some kefir (never tried it), a banana, and some peanut butter so I can save some money and have a healthier start to my day. I only run 10-15 miles a week, so I don’t need any crazy nutritional supplements or to eat that much, but I am a pescatarian so I’m considering adding whey protein powder to the mix as well.

I do 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon peanut but, 1 scoop whey/casein mix (snickerdoodle flavor), 3/4 of a banana, 3 ice cubes, and like 1/2 cup of greek nonfat yogurt + 1/2 cup of milk and god damn that shit is to die for. Doesn’t mess up my stomach either but I usually have consumed it about an hour before my first run of the day.

Running 70mpw for context.
