<b>From one of the most decorated athletes of all time, 80 healthy and delicious recipes to fuel and nourish an active lifestyle while never sacrificing flavor</b><br><br>When all that exists between winning a gold and a bronze medal are hundredths of a second, every detail matters--especially the food you put in your body. Some Olympians may survive on bland brown rice and steamed chicken breasts and broccoli, while others may happily down fast-food cheeseburgers, but not world champion swimmer Natalie Coughlin. Natalie embraces a winning, nourishing path with wholesome meals that have tons of flavor to satisfy both the body and the soul--the key to her success. Natalie's debut cookbook, <i>Cook to Thrive</i>, is full of the healthy, delicious recipes that sustain her both in and out of the pool: hearty breakfasts, bountiful salads, grains and pastas, energizing smoothies, big salads, grab-and-go snacks--all nutritious, satisfying, and delicious. Natalie believes in balance, not extreme deprivation, and that means moments of indulgence are not only allowed, but necessary. In <i>Cook to Thrive</i>, you'll find personal, comforting recipes inspired by Natalie's Filipino background and many based on dishes from her travels around the world for competitions. Natalie's tried-and-true techniques and tips for very busy schedules prove that if she can do it, you can too.
