Purpose: protein + carbs for energy · Nutrix Score: 8/10

Makes: 1 serving · Prep time: 2 minutes · Cook time: about 5 minutes (reheat)

Ingredients

• 1–1½ cups leftover chicken and butternut squash stew

Directions

1. Reheat. Warm the stew in a small pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot. Or microwave in a covered bowl for 1–2 minutes, stir, then heat another 30–60 seconds if needed.
2. Serve. Pour into a bowl and eat right away.

Make-ahead and dorm-friendly options

• The stew keeps in the fridge for 3–4 days and freezes well. Reheat only the amount you will eat.
• Works in a microwave if you do not have a stove.

Heavy training or game day

Add a piece of fruit or a few whole grain crackers on the side so lunch carries the athlete through a long afternoon.

Food safety reminder

Reheat leftover stew until steaming hot, and do not leave it at room temperature for more than two hours.
