I thought I’d give everyone a peak into our newly stocked refrigerator - because lets be honest, eating makes up half of my job as a pro triathlete. We’ve got to eat to train & eat to recover.
Here’s a grocery list of some of the Corbin staples.
Fruits & Veggies (I hit this section first, every time I go to the store)
Spinach - great source for Iron
Avocado - healthy fat
Tomatoes - loaded with healthy lycopene
Bell peppers - actually a fruit, has twice as much Vtiamin C than an orange
Mushrooms - yum!
Green onions - high in vitamin C
Cabbage - red or green to give salad a crunch
Sprouts - great addition to sandwiches
Broccoli - come from the Latin word brachium, which means “arm”.
