Eating a good healthy recovery meal immediately to shortly after climbing and training is extremely important for our bodies. Doing so gives us the fuel necessary to rebuild our damaged muscles, get stronger, and recover for our next climbing/training session.  Unfortunately, knowing something is good for us is a lot easier than actually doing it.

To help you not skip out on the post climbing recovery meal, here’s a recipe from Gina Edwards of Bomber Cams, Sinker Jams for a pineapple fried rice that is not only nutritious but also looks relatively quick and easy to prepare.

“If you’re looking for a healthy and delicious recovery meal, look no further! This Pineapple Fried Rice I recently made has a good mixture of carbs and proteins and contains ginger, which is a natural anti-inflammatory (helps with post work-out soreness). Make it ahead of time so it’s ready to eat after a day of climbing, or cut the veggies and pre-cook the rice so all you have to do is sauté the veggies and mix in the rice.” – Gina Edwards
