We met with\u00a0six-time Canadian Champion and World Silver Medalist Joannie Rochette <\/a>as she was visiting Vancouver this week for Stars on Ice<\/a>. \u00a0With a schedule of intense training and travel, Rochette knows more than a thing of two about good eating and meal planning and shared some tips and recipes with us.<\/p>\n

What’s for breakfast and lunch at Joannie’s house or when she’s on the road?<\/strong> She’s got a sweet tooth and doesn’t deny herself certain foods, instead she works with a nutritionist and aims for balance. While she loves her Nutella, she’s varies her breakfast to also include oatmeal and smoothies. Joannie\u00a0heads out for training and doesn’t have time for a proper lunch, so she\u00a0whips up a smoothie with bananas, yogurt, Almond Breeze<\/a> almond milk, hemp and flax seeds and fills her bag with healthy snacks to get her through the day. “Snack don’t starve”, is her motto! Joannie is now an ambassador for Almond Breeze, but she has always loved the milk and highly recommends trying the chocolate!<\/p>\n

Dinner<\/strong> is usually something along the lines of a a veggie-based stir fry with a fish or meet protein, salmon is her favourite. Joannie claims not to be a very good cook, but she’s improving and was included in an athletes cookbook project with her\u00a0vegan cookies made also with Almond Breeze.<\/p>\n

Rochette was returning to Montreal after our meeting and will then head out to tour in\u00a0Japan, before she takes some time off the ice to pursue a career in Medicine at McGill University. She will get a bit of skating in, but wants to focus on a variety of\u00a0sports such as yoga, Pilates and roller blading. Recently\u00a0she’s even taken up sky diving!<\/p>\n

Here’s her current favourite recipes.<\/p>\n
