IN A PINCH

When you don't have enough time for these recipes, but need some tasty and healthy, here are a few ideas for a quick bite. Unsurprisingly, most involve nut butters and apples, a classic snacking combo!

-Remove the core from an apple. Replace it with approximately one tablespoon of granola mixed with one tablespoon almond butter.

-Cut up an apple into thin slices and put in a bowl. Sprinkle with cinnamon, cover with plastic wrap and nuke for about a minute and a half. (be careful removing from microwave as steam will come out of plastic wrap)

-½ cup almond butter mixed with ½ cup lowfat vanilla yogurt makes a great dip for apples

-And a great idea from our marathoner, Cristina, is to mix sweet potato puree with peanut butter as a replacement for those corn-syrup-y gels runners tend to slurp down.
