National Eat Your Vegetables Day recipe: aubergine stew

National Eat Your Vegetables Day recipe: aubergine stew

Today is National Eat Your Vegetables Day. Healthy and varied food is the basic fuel for our riders and vegetables are an important part of that. Read why below and get inspired by the summer aubergine stew recipe from Performance Chef Ien Vitse.

Vegetables are a source of vitamins and minerals and that alone is a reason for our athletes to have them on the menu every day. To release energy in a body, you need to be able to convert calories into movement. This requires a lot of nutrients. You find these mainly in fruit and vegetables. Nutritional supplements provide support, but we prefer to keep it as natural as possible. Fresh fruit and vegetables are the vitamin source. A healthy basic diet with sufficient vitamins and minerals is therefore indispensable for both sports enthusiasts and top athletes. The Greenery, which supplies us with the freshest products, guarantees their quality and is therefore of great added value.
