Pomelo and Seaweed Salad
Ingredients:
Seaweed or locally known as lato
Pomelo
Calamansi juice
Tomato
Shallot
Chili or siling labuyo
Cilantro or wansoy
Chopped the ingredients on the desired sizes.
Toss them altogether except the Calamansi juice.
Calamansi juice is added slowly while tossing the ingredients.
Caution:
Do not blanch the lato, I heard some people would blanch it to remove some bacteria. We clean lato by soaking it in water with salt. I would normally use mineral water approximately 250 ml and 2 tablespoon of salt for a 1/2 kg lato.
Steamed vegetable
This is my variation of buttered vegetable.

1 tsp brewed soy sauce
Procedure:
- Put together all ingredients on the steamer.
- Add some salt, pepper and dried herbs on the water compartment
- Steam for 5-8 minutes.
- Remove the vegetable from steamer and toss it with mixed sesame oil and soy sauce.

For the dressing: Pinoy Vinaigrette*

Yummy Oats!
This simple and easy to prepare recipe will give you also the 3G (Go! Grow! Glow!).
The oats is a great source of complex carbo, the soya milk is good source of protien and the raisins (though dried) is considered a fruit or glow food.
My kids love this.
This is easy to prepare and also great pre-training meal.
Servings: two-three (depending on the appetite)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup Quaker Oats (Old fashioned)
2 3/4 cup LactaSoy or any Soya Milk
3/4 cup Raisins
Dash of salt
Procedure:
Combine all ingredients in a pyrex glass or microwavable bowl.
Load the bowl to microwave oven and set to high at 3 minutes.
Stir before serving.
Variants:
-For more protien, you may opt to top the yummy oats with cashew or almonds
-For more glow food, you may opt to top fresh strawberry or banana
Recent discoveries:
- Australian harvest-rolled oats is also a great substitute for Old fashioned Quaker Oats.
- Caution:
Old fashioned Quaker Oats ratio is 1 cup Oats: 2 cups milk
Australian Harvest- rolled oats ratio is 1 cup Oats: 3 cups milk
- Instead of Lactasoy, if not on a tight diet- option is Cowhead Strawberry milk flavor
- Instead of salt, cheese is also a delicious option (cubes or grated).
Tuna Arrabiata
This gourmet pasta will give you the 3G (Go! Grow! Glow!).
The whole wheat pasta have 3X more fiber and is a great source of complex carbo to keep you on the go.
The tuna is a great addition as source of protien for that muscle to help you repair and grow.

This is easy to prepare and would be great addition for the carbo loading meal before race day.
