jeepifer Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 My daughter plays hockey. Her coach sent out a list of "good things to eat before practice" and I wanted to cry. Cereal? You've got to be kidding me! He also is advocating chocolate milk for post-workout. I need your help... She's 7, so not a huge range of flexibility for snacking. She does like salmon, sardines (messy but good), Tanka bites sometimes. Egg whites (doesn't like the yolks; I can't blame her, I didn't either until I was much older). She also likes sweet potato, banana sometimes, and apples with peanut butter, but I haven't been able to switch her to almond butter. *sigh* I am looking for two sets of ideas, one for foods about an hour before her hockey practice/games, and one for PWO. She'd probably have to eat it cold on the drive to the ice rink, too. POST-game, I was debating about chocolate coconut water? She hasn't tried it, but didn't like the plain. She doesn't have any issues with dairy, so I could do the chocolate milk, I suppose. Thanks for any suggestions. I'm not real up on workout nutrition, proper combos of carbs/protein, etc. So any advice is welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 What she's going to want is protein and fat pre-practice - so sardines or Tanka bites are a good choice, tuna with mayo, high quality deli meat and avocado, etc. Afterward, she needs protein and carbs - applegate farms hot dogs, if she'll eat those, cold chicken, again deli meat, those squeezable applesauce packs (even some mixed with veg) - good options all around. PS: I love to hear about girls playing hockey! I grew up in Bloomington, and we all played at one point or another. Down here in Missouri people are amazed at girls who play hockey ;0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Mitchell Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 My Crossfit instructor drinks the chocolate milk post workout too. I have also seen it mentioned on other boards. I just can't seem to imagine being hot and sweaty and then downing a glass of chocolate milk, though I was never much of a milk drinker and can't think of the last time I drank it.

Nicole M Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I am a recovering chocolate milk-post WOD drinker... It is delicious, and will definitely be something I will miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
