My go-to pre long run and pre-race dinner is a teriyaki bowl packed with rice, protein and veggies. I’ve a very salty sweat-er and have realized the best think to eat before a run is a good combination of easy to digest carbs that I can top with soy sauce or liquid aminos.
And last night I made this favorite with a new ingredient – Impossible™ Burger.
I had a sample at Costco a while back and was an instant fan. Have you tried it?
If you’re not familiar Impossible™ Burger is a plant based protein that cooks just like meat. It’s made of soy and potato proteins combined in a magical way to look and taste like ground hamburger. I used one package of the ground Impossible™ Burger to make Teriyaki Bowls and they were amazing. Here’s the recipe…
