Aut2Run 2019 and Great Post Workout Breakfast

Last weekend was one of my favorite events, Aut2Run, benefiting the Ventura County Autism Society. We had nice cool weather for this awesome event. I like to run distances where I don’t have to think about eating when running. :) So I don’t think I’ll ever be a marathoner. I do however, like to get out there and exercise for a good cause!

Shaved brussels sprouts from Trader Joes or Gelsons (great convenience item!!) and sliced cremini mushrooms, sautéed until a little browned.

I also add a little avocado and a bit of pesto for that satisfaction factor. Addition of plant based fats helps keep us satisfied and helps to absorb those fat soluble vitamins.

Last but not least, pair it with a piece of whole grain toast and some berries for a delicious, nutritious and satisfying meal!
