Afternoon BBQ

In between training sessions with our brilliant visiting coach, Randy Stoklos, we're cooking up a bunch of meat and vegetables, really whatever we could find in the fridge (and on our papaya tree). really, the point here is that you can take almost any sort of vegetable, throw it in some tin foil with some coconut or canola oil, some salt and pepper and whatever spices you might like, and make a great, simple lunch.

Paleo Pancakes

So some special guests are in a few of the next videos, they stayed with us for 2 weeks leading up to the NORCECA 2011 beach volleyball tournament's first stop for this season's circuit in which we all competed. A lot of these videos consist of what we were eating before/between training sessions, so definitely performance food.

We're up early this morning, on our way to the beach for a workout, and need a good breakfast to carry us through, so, as well as the avocado yogurt, we're making some almond/banana/blueberry pancakes. This is a recipe that can be put together in just a couple of minutes, and, after 3 minutes of cooking, they're ready to eat!

The recipe is:

1 cup ground almonds
2 extra large eggs
1 banana
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 tbsp cinnamon
dash salt

fry in coconut or canola oil for a 1.5 minutes on each side, so that they stay nice and moist inside. If you like dry pancakes, cook them longer.
