The members of the NZL Sailing Team are high performance athletes but can’t succeed if they aren’t fuelled properly.
It’s why Yachting New Zealand have teamed up with Radix Nutrition to offer high-quality meals to New Zealand’s top sailors.
Radix Nutrition is a New Zealand company who offer 100 percent natural, GMO free and organic (where possible) meals which are ideal for athletes on the run. They source the ingredients from around the world but make the meals in New Zealand.
“We create meals designed for anyone seeking the benefits of a healthy diet,” Radix Nutrition chief executive Mike Rudling said. “Ultra-low pressure freeze drying preserves produce sourced globally from growers, ensuring the nutritional content of raw ingredients is as close to being ‘just picked’.
“By simply adding water and waiting 10 minutes for your meal, we take the effort and guess work of preparing healthy and nutritious food out of your schedule; giving you more time to focus on achieving your goals. Our range of meals are for anyone seeking a healthy option to fuel their physical and mental performance.”
Olympic 49erFX silver medallists Alex Maloney and Molly Meech are regular users of Radix Nutrition.
They often rely on Radix meals soon after coming off the water after a long day or training or racing when it’s not always easy to find the right nutritional option or during long flights when appropriate food isn't always available.
“Making nutrition a priority is vital and, with Radix, this is achievable,” Maloney said. “Trusting others to get it right for us is imperative and we know the quality of Radix ingredients are the best.
“We have long days at the boat park and knowing a nutritious meal can be ready in minutes is reassuring. I am not a fan of protein supplements or shakes so, for me, it’s awesome the breakfast meals contain protein.”
The high performance programme is looking to use these meals as a tool to ensure sailors maintain quality nutrition no matter what the circumstances and it is an excellent product for any travelling sailors.
