This recipe is part of our new series of “Tavern food made healthy”, an initiative we’re taking to make fantasy foods come to life in a way that aligns with your health goals. Each recipe will take rustic foods, make some easy tweaks to improve their nutrition, and focus on flavor that any adventurer could be excited by. This recipe was done in partnership with Tank Tolman, an amazing fantasy-inspired fitness creator that we’ve been fans of for a long time. This recipe and many more can be found on Tank’s Training app. A library of healthy recipes along with a ton of fantasy inspired workout plans like Barbarian Hammer Workouts and Ranger Bodyweight Workouts, and a welcoming community of others working on leveling up their fitness and cheering each other along, are all part of this awesome app. You can get started on the app today by clicking the button below!
