Whether you're tramping, hitting the waves, smashing a gym session, or competing in a local sports match, peak performance and quick recovery depends on proper fuel. This is where Fitfood comes in, becoming your meal must have for every adventure.
Fueling your active lifestyle
Fitfood takes the guesswork out of nourishing your body before, during, and after your outdoor pursuits and workouts.
Pre-adventure & pre-workout
What you eat before you start matters. You need sustained energy without feeling heavy or sluggish. Eat a balanced meal 1-2 hours before activity, focus on carbohydrates and lean protein such as the Red Wine Venison Casserole (a classic for sustained energy) or a portion of Mushroom Stroganoff provide excellent pre-workout fuel. They're quick to heat, easy to eat and delicious.
Post-adventure
Your body needs to refuel within 30-60 minutes post-activity to repair muscles and replenish energy. Focus on a combination of protein (for muscle repair) and carbohydrates. A hearty Lamb Ragu with Mash Potato delivers rich flavour and essential macronutrients for effective recovery. For a lighter option, Roast Pork with Roasted Seasonal Vegetables offers lean protein and micronutrients.
Portable Fitfood for On-the-Go Adventures
For those longer tramps, day trips, or sports tournaments where a kitchen isn't an option, portability is key. For longer tramps or day trips where a kitchen isn't an option, convenience is key. Choose meals that are easy to pack and eat with minimal fuss. For camp stove heating, consider a Roasted Cauliflower Bolognese. Don't forget Fitfood Power Balls for a quick energy boost.
Beyond Just Water
Certain foods contribute to your overall fluid intake and provide essential electrolytes, crucial for active bodies.
Complement your water intake with hydrating foods. Meals rich in vegetables, like Chicken with Crushed New Potatoes or Pumpkin Risotto with Garlic & Herb Chicken will boost your hydration.
New Zealand's landscapes are meant to be explored, and your body is meant to move. Don't let meal planning stress or a lack of time hold you back. Fitfood provides perfectly balanced, convenient, and delicious meals that allow you to focus on the adventure, not the arduous prep.
