I'm not sure how you break from serious gymnastics to the Christmas Fitness Tree rotation and back to serious gymnastics if you are fueling up with a cupcake (unless there is a can of pumpkin in it of course.)
To me it appears like a recipe for sugar crash.
With a typical gymnastic practice lasting four hours, I prefer to offer a savory treat such as this whole grain rye bread with spinach and yogurt dip.
It is super easy to create and our athletes enjoyed a treat without a crash.
The dip is not my creation - it can be found on the back of the Lipton Vegetable Dip mix.
I used 1 cup greek yogurt rather than sour cream to add protein without as much fat.
Ingredients include:
Vegetable Dip Mix
1 container chopped frozen spinach cooked and drained
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup Mayo
Mix it all up and serve with cubed rye bread and a variety of fresh raw veggies.
