Shrimp swim in the sea of greenery
Shrimp appear in the menu of athletes with enviable constancy. The main thing is that it should be a fresh, high-quality product of the right grade. In this regard, the best choice will be the wild Argentine shrimp “Maguro”. Shock freezing right at the catch site allows you to preserve the rich delicate taste, pristine freshness and useful elements in full.
These shrimps will make a great snack — hearty rolls with stuffing. We wash 300 g of thawed Maguro shrimp under warm water, put it in a saucepan with boiling water, add 1 tsp of salt and the juice of half a lemon, cook for 3-4 minutes after boiling. When the shrimps are cool, we remove them from the shells. We boil 2 hard-boiled eggs, peel them from the shell and cut them into cubes. We tear a bunch of any leaf lettuce into small fragments with our hands. Cut the carrots and cucumber into thin strips. Spread the filling on a thin pita bread or rice paper, sprinkle with lemon juice and balsamic and roll up a tight roll. Such a light snack can be refreshed an hour before the workout, so that it will be more productive.
A bun with a surprise
Shrimps have another important property, which is very valuable for those who lead an active lifestyle. These crustaceans are rich in high-grade protein, which is indispensable for strengthening muscle fibers and bones. This recharge allows you to reduce the risk of injury and keep your muscles in good shape.
Completely defrost 300 g of wild Argentine shrimp “Maguro”, peel off the shells, sprinkle with lemon juice. Heat a frying pan with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, fry 2 cloves of garlic and immediately remove. Now we brown a piece of peeled ginger root and also throw it away. In this flavored oil, quickly fry the peeled shrimp until golden brown. We cut the avocado pulp, half of the sweet pepper and 3-4 cherry tomatoes into slices. Mix everything with the shrimp, pour out 3 tbsp. l. corn, pour the dressing from 2 tbsp. l. olive oil, 1 tbsp. l. soy sauce and 1 tsp. balsamic.
Cut the top off the bun, carefully remove the crumb, so as not to damage the crust inside. Fill the bun with filling, sprinkle with grated cheese, send it to the preheated oven for 10 minutes. You can reward yourself with such a snack after an intense workout in order to restore your strength as soon as possible.
The Hidden Power of the Squid
Squid is the most important product in the menu with a sports bias. The secret lies in their composition. So, the carcasses of Maguro squid practically do not contain fats and carbohydrates. But there is plenty of protein saturated with amino acids in them. Squid meat is famous for its generous reserves of iodine, the lack of which leads to the failure of various body systems. In addition, they have the right amount of magnesium, sodium, phosphorus, zinc and calcium.
The carcasses of Maguro squid have already been cut and cleaned, so cooking will take a minimum of time. Bring a pot of water to a boil, put a pinch of salt, a couple of peas of allspice and drop 2 squid carcasses into it. We cook them for 3-4 minutes, throw them into a colander and pour cold water over them. We punch a little 300 g of medium-fat cottage cheese with a blender, add 2 tbsp. l. sour cream, 2 crushed garlic cloves, a handful of chopped dill. Carefully knead the filling, fill the squid carcasses with it and fix them with toothpicks. Such a snack will be good for an afternoon snack. If you are hungry after dinner, cut a couple of slices of stuffed squid and refresh yourself a couple of hours before going to bed.
Athletic Tuna

Whisk 2 egg whites with a pinch of salt into a fluffy foam. Finely chop 2-3 green onion feathers and 4-5 sprigs of parsley. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, season with salt and black pepper to taste, knead a homogeneous mass. We fill the greased muffin molds with it and put them in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 180°C. At the very end, sprinkle almost finished muffins with sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds. Athletes can enjoy such a snack as a second breakfast.
