    Opinions on starting a plant based personal training service

    in General Fitness/Other Sports

    Posted

    I'm planning to become a certified triathlon coach as well as a personal trainer. I want to incorporate my vegan lifestyle as well as the importance of following a plant based diet with my clients but I'm worried about scaring some people away (since I do need income).

    Also deciding on a business name.... I would like it to have something to do a plant based diet but again I don't want to scare away non-vegans that are just looking for a training plan. Advice? Opinions?

    I have to ask, I've noticed you put oil in your smoothies, how is it? I've never actually heard of anyone adding the oils to their smoothies. All I can picture is a slightly oily smoothie haha. I just got and tried hemp seeds for the first time, and I think I will be adding that to my smoothies and salads. Also, Almond breeze now sells a Coconut Milk/Almond milk blend and it's quite delicious. That might be something you would enjoy. Have a great day

    The coconut oil adds just a hint of flavor. The flax you can taste a little bit. It doesn't give it an oily texture though. The flax oil is especially good after a workout as it speeds up recovery. I need get in the habit again of using chia seeds in pre workout smoothies. I heard about the coconut/almond milk combo.... haven't tried it yet. Also.... if you do any chocolate smoothies the flax oil goes well with them.
