Discover Marieke's everyday food diary, reflecting her active lifestyle in the outdoors.
"I fuel up with quinoa or oatmeal topped with nuts and fresh fruit—delicious and packed with nutrients. For long morning runs, I grab a peanut butter and banana sandwich."
"On busy days in the field, I pack leftovers from dinner. Otherwise, I whip up stir-fried veggies with eggs, maybe rice and a salad. Avocado is a staple, whether in salads, soups, or on toast."
"Finding healthy, flavorful meals that excite my son is key. We love spicy veggie curries with tofu, bean-stuffed wraps, and sauerkraut stew. Raw veggies are always on the table. Treats like pancakes or pizza make occasional appearances."
"Priority one: coffee—my thermos is ever-present. I drink plenty of water, some tea, and smoothies boosted with pea protein powder. For hunger pangs, it's nuts, avocado, fruit, or even a handful of chips. I savor specialty beers too."
