Running: Picking up the pace

I’m pretty sure that when Polly first asked for a cracker that she didn’t get one as good as what I’m going to share with you today.
Crackers and their respective toppings can get a little boring, but I promise you there is no vegemite in sight. Just nourishing, delicious food combos for you to create the perfect snacks and light meals to get you through the day.
I recommend eating two crackers with their toppings below for a snack and four crackers with topping for a meal. The principles for the different combinations are:
You’ll see that each combination below has a protein and/or a fat source plus a vegetable or fruit. Easy peasy, yummy in your tummy!
We’ve chosen Sunrice Rice and Grain cakes as a great cracker option, but you can use any other kind of cracker. Look for one that contains wholegrains, seeds and offers you more than 2g of fibre per 100g.

Spread crackers with cream cheese and top with tomato slices and sprouts. Eat immediately!
Mix the tuna with the mayo and mustard until well combined. This binds the tuna and stops it from falling off your cracker and making a mess. Top with cucumber slices.
Top each cracker with cheese and pear slices.
Combine the onion, tomato and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Spread the cracker with avocado and top with the tomato mixture. Eat immediately.
Top each cracker with one lettuce leaf, alfalfa sprouts, shredded chicken and a dollop of aioli. I suggest using left over chicken breast that you’ve cooked earlier. You can also buy shaved chicken breast from the deli, this is just more processed. It can be a handy option to use occasionally.
Spread each cracker with hummus and top with ham and tomato slices.
Spread each cracker with cream cheese and top with smoked salmon and rocket.
Generously spread each cracker with ricotta cheese. Top with blueberries and give each cracker a drizzle of honey.
Spread each cracker with peanut butter. Top with banana slices and sprinkle with flaked almonds.
Top each cracker with avocado, feta and tomato.
