SPOOKY, BUT GOOD FOR YA, SNACKS FOR POST-RUN
Something a little bit different for this edition of Ultramag!
It’s spooky season! Halloween is this Monday, and we know some of you don’t take to the day – and that’s okay! Others, like myself, like to have a little bit of fun on October 31 so I’d thought I’d provide some choice post-run snacks that are high in protein so you can hit stop on those lolly cravings after the kids have gone trick or treating!

Divide the cauliflower mixture into six equal-sized balls, place on the parchment, and roll out to your desired thickness
