#1 --> 4oz grass fed beef or 6 farm eggs, 1tbsp healthy fats (grass fed butter, coconut oil), 5g fish oils, 1 kiwi, coffee or tea, 1 fresh squeezed lime, fibre, 1 scoop veggie/berry powder

#2 --> 8oz chicken breast or 10oz tilapia or 4oz grass fed beef, veggies, 1tbsp grass fed butter (i usually make this into a soup with homemade veggie/chicken broth)

#4 --> peri-workout: 50g dextrose, 50g whey hydrolysate, 5g leucine, 10g creatine
