Kadey's ingenious Rocket Fuel foods-like easy-to-make muffins, bars, pies, bites, gels, smoothies, balls, wraps, and cookies-will inspire how you fuel for your favorite sports. Since studies show that real food works just as well as processed sports food products, you'll enjoy a huge variety of flavors and a healthier, more nutritious performance fuel that's free of artificial stuff and high price tags. Kadey's DIY performance foods include dozens of new flavors and innovative forms that ensure you'll always look forward to your next exercise snack.
Rocket Fuel is more than a cookbook of easy, healthy recipes. Kadey simplifies the rocket science of sports nutrition into easy-to-follow guidelines that will work for anyone in any sport or activity. Rocket Fuel foods are grouped into Before, During, and After Exercise so your body will get exactly what it needs at exactly the right times. For those with special dietary restrictions, each recipe is flagged as dairy-free, freezer-friendly, gluten-free, paleo-friendly, and vegetarian or vegan-friendly.
