We had to leave back at 5 AM for a 3 hour drive to Canada so I made us a drink to really wake us up and then made her some snacks and fuel for the morning!

Growing up, when I wasn’t feeling great, my mom gave me what people now call a Dirty Diet Coke—Diet Coke + milk which I thought was pretty great!  But I recently saw bakedbymelissa make this immunity drink when everyone around us is getting sick and we love it !

IMMUNITY DRINK
3 lemons • 3 tangerines • 3 big knobs ginger • 3-inch piece turmeric • 6 rainbow carrots • 1 red beet • water

Peel + roughly chop everything, add to a Vitamix, fill to the top with water, blend and strain through a fine-mesh strainer.

Then we got our rower ready for her 5 AM departure!

LEMON HIBISCUS HYDRATION TEA
32 oz hot water • 8 hibiscus tea bags • juice of 2 lemons • 2 Tbsp Manuka honey • 1/8 tsp kosher salt

Steep tea until deep red and concentrated. Stir in lemon, honey + salt. Chill.

PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES
1 cup flour • 2 tsp baking powder • 1 tsp cinnamon • 1 Tbsp sugar • 1/4 tsp salt • 1 cup pumpkin purée • 1 egg • 1/2–3/4 cup milk • chocolate chips

Mix, adding enough milk for a thick, pourable batter. Cook on a buttered griddle. For extra protein, swap in your favorite protein pancake mix.

CRISPY POTATO + EGG FOLDOVER
1 russet potato • 2–3 eggs • grated cheese • butter • salt + pepper

Peel potato, then use the peeler to shave the potato into thin ribbons. Layer in a lightly buttered skillet to completely cover the bottom. Cook a few minutes, pour over beaten eggs, season + add cheese. Cover until set, then fold in half.

REGATTA SNACK TACKLE BOX
Cheddar • sesame crackers • bell pepper • cucumber • orange • blackberries—or whatever your athlete loves!

Fed, hydrated, packed and out the door by 5 AM. 🚣‍♀️
For everyone asking, the water bottle was gifted to me by okapaofficial #regatta #gingershot #wellnessdrink #hydration #proteinpancakes vitamix
