Why this waldorf salad recipe reminds me of running so much

Give me a dot on the horizon and I'll start the sprint. Because that's how I am. Unfortunately, it happens to me more than once that I have to drop out with the tongue on the shoes halfway through. Exhausted and disappointed, I wave goodbye to my beautiful goal. I wanted too much and tried too hard, so I couldn't make it. Recognizable? Then read on quickly! Then I immediately explain the link with this super fast waldorf salad recipe 😉 .

Running

A few years ago, “everyone” suddenly started running. Under the guidance of Evy, Renate or the local athletics club, my whole environment ran away from me. Verbatim happy. I wanted to join , so I got out a pair of old sneakers from the bottom of the closet and got to work. It seemed to me a wonderful feeling to be able to run and to combine it with a family as a sport. Unfortunately, I turned out to be a bit too fanatical and I soon ended up on the bench with an injury.

Eat better

That's how it was with "better food". One day I decided that I wanted to change my diet and immediately started a study and a food blog. Another first removes only sugar from the menu, but no, I wanted the full package and turned everything around so I could chase this dream. In addition to sugar, other processed foods were cut, I started eating more vegetables and less meat and I limited eating bread.

Breadless lunches

I certainly don't think bread is the enemy. In fact, I LOVE bread. But I also see that with two sandwiches a day, a biscuit with the coffee and a plate full of pasta for dinner, we Dutch may have a little bit of variety. So nowadays I try to avoid the use of grains a few days a week. But what do you eat?

A breadless lunch can consist of leftovers from the night before (it saves cooking again), but also soup or salad. We regularly bake an omelet or a savory muffin for lunch. Nice! And this waldorf salad recipe is also great for lunch!

The similarity between waldorf salad and sprinting

To make a long story short. Sometimes I want too much, try too hard and miss my goal. Except with this recipe for super fast waldorf salad. I threw some ingredients into a bowl and voila , a great breadless lunch ensued. My belly filled with a healthy bite and that with a preparation time that is almost shorter than spreading a sandwich. Highly recommended for all fellow sprinters and other runners as lunch or side dish!
