May 2, 2020 by Fit Fathers

Tonight, we head to the Far East for a tasty curry meal from Thailand. Well, almost. To start, steam two cups of cauliflower, a handful of chopped carrots and a few sliced Japanese sweet potatoes. After they became soft, toss in a wok with fresh onions, half a cup of chickpeas, and a few splashes of water. Next, add “organic extra firm” tofu chunks and mix together. Pour in the Coconut Thai Curry and let simmer down like Bob Marley for 15 minutes. Serve over brown rice or your favorite Asian noodle and enjoy!

Fit Fathers “WONDER PARK” Power Lunch

March 7, 2019 by Fit Fathers

In honor of Paramount’s upcoming animation movie dubbed WONDER PARK, Fit Fathers has prepared the perfect power lunch if you were WONDERing what to pack your kids for an adventurous day. So, let us show you how to create lunch in a pinch!

Of course every child loves a classic bean burrito since they are filling and easy to hold and eat. Yet, we always ascertain that our recipe iterations are as healthy as possible to keep the young ones energized and alert.

The burrito features a whole grain wrap, organic black beans, brown rice, organic lettuce and tomatoes, a few onions and avocado slices. They will also want a sugar fix while running around the park so we blended a fruit smoothie to keep their clock ticking with natural sugars from a banana, blueberry, strawberry, mango and ice mix. Snacks include a trail mix for healthy fats, peanut butter crackers and one whole banana if they have room left. Water is to keep them hydrated and cool.

Check out the new trailer for Wonder Park HERE! and don’t miss it in theatres March 15. Enjoy the grub!

Simple Avocado Toast by Fit Fathers

January 25, 2019 by Fit Fathers

Try our simple, tasty and healthy lunch after an hour of cardio and strength training. Yes, of course it’s vegan. We layered toasted double fiber whole grain bread with traditional hummus, organic avocados and slightly warmed organic tomatoes. The heat within the tomatoes helps release the antioxidant lycopene which in turn protects against prostate cancer in men. Season with a dash of black pepper, garlic powder and Himalayan pink salt.

The meal was served with a Japanese sweet potato and a medley of sautéed collard greens, spinach, kale, beets, onions and Shiitake mushrooms. So, this recipe covers each macronutrient including healthy fats, complex cards and plant-based proteins. Eat clean and enjoy!

Fit Fathers Rice, Beans & Spinach Medley

January 21, 2019 by Fit Fathers

Here is one of Fit Fathers’ simple but nutritional meals whipped up for lunch after today’s cardio burn. Basically, we combined kidney beans, spinach and brown rice in a pan of light water and sautéed the ingredients (ten minutes) together with onions, flaxseeds and various seasonings including turmeric, garlic powder, nutritional yeast and vegit. Serve over toasted Ezekiel sprouted bread with sliced avocados and pair with steamed Japanese sweet potatoes to complete the mix of plant-based protein, complex carbs and healthy fats including the important omega 3.

Dully note to use canned low sodium kidney beans if you don’t have time to soak and cook dried beans. Also, we keep a pot of steamed brown rice laying around in the rice cooker for impromptu meal ideas. Enjoy!

Fit Fathers Fall Butternut Squash and Kale Soup

November 1, 2018 by Fit Fathers

Eating clean is our daily theme. So before a 4-mile run we prepared this Fall Butternut Squash and Kale Soup and an organic Kale Salad with seasoned tofu chunks. The soup requires kale, potatoes, onions and butternut squash which you first sauté and season in a pot. Then add water and simmer until soft. Next pour the contents into your Vitamix for blending. Pour back into the pot and continue seasoning to your liking. There’s nothing like healing foods that energize!
