The MP4 Spotlight is On: Joanna Banana

Friday, July 16th, 2010

Normally I highlight an athlete each week on the Friday blog, but this week I simply have to tell you about my latest obsession. It’s something I like to call Joanna Banana Ice Cream or sometimes I just call it…

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 T or more of peanut butter or PB2 (powdered peanut butter)
  • 2 T chocolate protein powder

Blend all ingredients together in a high speed blender or food processor to your desired consistency. Scoop into a bowl and enjoy every bite.

I eat this creation for breakfast some days, immediately post workout some days, and just about any day that ends in Y. You must try it, too. I insist!

Enough about me, tell me about your latest food (or workout) obsession…

You’re probably wondering how my bike training is going. I’m glad you asked! In a word it’s FIERCE! I have to admit I’m pretty fired up about my progress. And by progress I mean I’m recovering faster and I’m pushing myself harder with each ride.

After our MP4 4-Um seminar on Tuesday night I had a light bulb moment. I could be progressing even further if I just dial-in my diet…and as Jodi said find my nutrition sweet spot! So my focus for the week ahead is to switch gears (arr, arr) and really focus on fueling my endurance rides.

Enough about me let’s meet….

If we asked your coach or training partner to list three words that describe you they would be: Determined, Consistent, Impatient — Oh those are my 3 words–I no longer have a coach or training partner :-(
