9 Harley Pasternak Recipes to Supercharge Your Training
Celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak dishes on nine easy and healthy recipes to make for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in between. Try these meals out to recover and recharge your body after a workout or on days off.
Getting food in your body is just as important as the workout itself. It’s essential to refuel and replenish nutrients so you can rest and get the most out of any movements you do throughout the day. Harley Pasternak, who has about 30 years of experience training celebrity superheroes like the Green Hornet, Cat Woman, Spider-Man, and more, also has an extensive background in nutrition. In his Alo Moves Superhero Series, a four-week workout program, he shares his favorite recipes for every meal of the day: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in between.
Each type of meal doesn’t take a lot of time to make either! They are approachable and packed with flavor, so you’ll be full afterwards while still giving your body what it needs to recover and be the healthiest version of itself. We created a list of Harley Pasternak’s best recipes that he covers in his Superhero Series below so you can easily make them at home on your own.
Peanut Butter & Berry Protein Oats
Once you cook these oats, you can really make this meal your own by incorporating a variety of berries and other fruits, almond or peanut butter, and whey powder to keep you satisfied until lunch.
2. Apple Pie Smoothie
This breakfast smoothie tastes exactly like a pie without having, well, a pie. It’s sweet and SO simple.
3. Baked Apples with Yogurt
This snack takes two hours to prepare simply because it goes in the oven, so make sure to prepare ahead of time. Other than the longer cook time, you only need four ingredients for the perfect baked apples filled with cinnamon yogurt.
4. Jicama with Tajin & Lime
As easy to eat as French fries, but without any of the grease. Jicama is a starchy root vegetable that absorbs the flavor of whatever you put on it. With a squeeze of lime and sprinkle of Tajín, it’s a crisp, tasty snack.
5. Tortilla Sandwich
A high-fiber tortilla replaces bread for this quick sandwich. You’ll layer Dijon mustard, turkey, and veggies, then hot-press it for added texture.
6. Veggie Omelet
Breakfast for lunch is the best, right? If you’re in the mood for eggs, whip up a veggie omelet with extra egg whites for added protein.
7. Blender Vegetable Soup
Get all your greens for the day in soup form. Hot sauce on top is definitely encouraged.
8. Lemon Poached Salmon
A citrus-y spin to everyone’s favorite fish. Serve it with a salad or veggies on the side for something green on your plate.
9. Garlic & Ginger Shrimp Stir-Fry
Stir-fry is usually a free-for-all, which is why it’s such a low-stress meal to make. This quick meal is perfect to whip up after a long day or training session.
