APRIL 2025: HIGH PROTEIN WHOLE FOODS VEGETARIAN


 

This month’s edition features the 14-Day Protein Challenge, a highly requested resource designed to help paddlers slowly increase their protein intake while optimizing digestion. It’s the perfect tool for demonstrating the transformative power of proper protein intake, especially when you add the lifting and mobility work in this month's workout guide.  Alongside the protein challenge, and building on last month, you’ll find a High Protein Whole Foods Vegetarian Meal Plan and Recipe Bundle, packed with 30 nutrient-dense meals to support vegetarian paddlers and those looking to increase their vegetable and fiber intake while you boost protein and stick to whole foods.  As always, this information is provided for educational purposes only. Please consult your doctor and request that your hormone panel be done.
