On my run today, I went au naturale<\/em>, getting all my nutrition from raw, real ingredients.   I made two things from Thrive<\/a> <\/em>last night to bring along today—Lemon-Lime Sports Drink<\/a> and this Lemon-Lime Gel.<\/p>\n

\"Thrive<\/p>\n

Interestingly, both of these were made from similar ingredients, just in different proportions.  I know they don’t look too terribly exciting (the lighting in my kitchen does them no favors either), but both of these were really tasty.  I like the drink as much as any commercial sports drink, though next time I’ll strain out the date pulp and whatever coconut oil doesn’t emulsify.<\/p>\n

But the gel was the real surprise.  I absolutely HATE normal gels, gu’s, or whatever you want to call them—I’ve stopped even trying to eat them during runs.  But this one tasted so much better.  I can’t be giving all<\/em> of Brendan’s recipes away, so I’ll just do the gel recipe, since that’s the one I’m most excited about.<\/p>\n

Also, exciting news in NMA land—my interview<\/a> with Thrive<\/em> author Brendan Brazier is tomorrow morning!<\/p>\n
