Post-workout, I have a go at get a decent amount of protein in.
Nothing in particular lately, but Ive been finding fun recipes on TikTok.
EatingWell:What trending recipe have you tried recently?
Stokes: Brooks Running/Getty Kevin Mazur
I’m not there yet, but we’re working on it.
EatingWell:Do you have a favorite meal that you have shared with Kelsea?
What comes to mind?
Stokes:We consistently do a skirt steak with chimichurri at the house.
I think that was one of the first meals I actually cooked for her.
Almost two years later, that’s still a meal that we keep in the kitchen pretty consistently.
In the morning, well have ground turkey breast and a pesto scrambled egg.
And we’ll do that usually with cottage cheese and some fruit.
Those are the two that I would say are consistent.
EatingWell:Favorite snacks?
Any foods you always have on hand while on set?
Stokes:I’m a big chicken salad fan.
I will eat it straight out of the bowl when I make it.
Chicken salad is something I always keep on me.
Those are the two snack-wise that I have leaned towards lately.
EatingWell:What does your ideal chicken salad look like?
That combo and a good amount of pepper is the secret weapon to a good chicken salad.
EatingWell:Why partner with Brooks for their newest shoe launch?
It’s a way to separate yourself from the world and obviously get away from technology.
So the timing of it all has been very serendipitous because I just got back into running.
It worked out really well.
EatingWell:What does “eating well” mean to you?
Stokes:Eating well means feeling great.
Anytime that I get into some bad habits, it’s the worst.
I think when I eat well, I always feel 1,000 times better.
