By Janel Ferrin Anderson, a Personalized Health and Nutritionist at Mountain Rebalance Of all the macro and micro nutrients I think protein is the one that people feel most passionate about and debate the most- including nutritionists, researchers, athletes, environmentalists and any mindful eater. And I get it. There are a lot of considerations and […]
Recipe of the Month
Ask The Board – Seasonal Recipes
This month, we ask the DPMR board members to share some of their favorite fall recipes. Yum! Renee Jacobs: I’ve been fantasizing about pumpkin pie for weeks now, one of my favorite holiday treats. But typical pumpkin pie is loaded with common allergens (dairy, eggs, wheat…), so one of my favorite holiday treats is usually […]
Recipe of the Month- Favorite Granola
This recipe is called Favorite Granola for a reason…it’s just that good! Shared with us by member Janel Ferrin Anderson of Mountain Rebalance who also shares: “This recipe is delicious, is loaded with minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, plus it provides healthy fat, clean protein, and fiber that make the perfect balance in any meal or […]
Recipe of the Month – Cowboy Cookies
I’m always experimenting with real food as running fuel and various cookies are frequently in the rotation. However, I find it’s hard to find the right balance between durability, moistness, digestibility, and appeal, particularly because I have some food sensitivities (gluten, egg yolk, dairy…) I’ve been playing around with Cowboy Cookie variations for a while, […]
Recipe of the Month – Homemade “Awesome Sauce”
Chances are you’ve tried (or at least heard of) Spring Energy Products. They offer real food based products that many runners enjoy, including myself. Cannaberry has been my staple for some time, but I’m really excited about their relatively new Awesome Sauce flavor. In his recent member highlight, Kelly Barber raves about Speed Nut. The […]
Milking the Options
When you venture down the milk aisle of any grocery store, you will likely notice an overwhelming number of options. And those are just the dairy options! For those of us that avoid dairy for any reason, the alt mylks are nearly as overwhelming: sweetened or unsweetened, vanilla, coconut, chocolate, stabilized, natural… it is dizzying. […]
Member Highlight- Kathy Slocum
I had no idea what my new friend looked like. I met her somewhere between the Cal2 and Cal1 Aid Stations as the climbing becomes relentless on the way back out of the Canyon. She was chipper and chatty I was just thankful for someone else to do the talking and keep my mind off […]
Recipe of the Month: No-bake Peanut Butter Fudge from South America
While bike touring and mountaineering in South America, a good friend of mine discovered a confection sold in stores under the label Mantecol or Nucrem. It became a significant source of calories on his big days and he brought some back to the states to share with me. I packed some in my bag for […]
PATTI’S GLUTEN FREE HIGH ALTITUDE PUMPKIN BREAD
My amazing pastry chef aunt, Patti Dellamonica-Bauler was at my house the other day and I was grousing about my applesauce muffins that turned out like flat marshmallows. She started explaining to me about almond flour being all fat and needing to cut back on baking soda and cooking the muffins for more time…and while […]
FLAVORED NUT BUTTERS
We eat a lot of nut butter in our house, it’s easy to throw in a smoothie or slap on a piece of fruit or bread and go. Last year I scored an inexpensive Vitamix Blender (thank you Craigslist) and have started to make my own nut butters which makes me feel very food nerdy […]
