Being a surfer, it’s super important to take care of yourself. That way, you can continue that gnarly surf stoke and keep shredding! In order to do that, you really have to make sure that you are eating not only healthy, but also enough. It’s important to fuel that sick surfer bod with lots of clean efficient energy boosting foods. Here are some of my favorite go to’s that always keep me going, and keep me fueled up and stoked for the next sesh. Take a look at the breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack ideas. And of course I included dessert ideas, cause damn you deserve it after a long day of shredding!
Breakfast Ideas
Smoothie Bowl and Hard Boiled Eggs
Smoothie Bowl is delicious and so nutritious! Using fresh organic fruits, you can get that natural sugar spike to get you going for the day. I recommend using papaya or avocado to give it an extra creamy texture. Get crazy with it! Use lots of fruits, and even greens. Top it with some shredded coconut, granola, mixed nuts, peanut butter, honey, etc. to give it a twist. I accompany my bowl with a couple of simple hard boiled eggs, just to give me some extra protein for a good morning surf sesh!
Eggs Over Easy, Toast, and Fruit
This is my go to for when I want a more hearty breakfast. Simple eggs over easy with salt and pepper to get the protein power for surf, the carbs in the toast will give you that energy you need, and then fruit for the natural sugar. Delicious and power packed!
Morning Sesh Snack Ideas
Mixed Nuts
Mixed nuts are a great snack for anytime of day. They are yummy, and a small amount will leave you full and satisfied. My favorites are Cashews and Almonds!
Dried Fruits
A sweet and filling snack. Easy to pack to the beach. My favorites are dried cranberries, mango, and pineapple. Pro tip: Mix some with your nuts!
Lunch Ideas
Grilled Fish Burger
Grilled fish burger. Not much to say other than; A: DELICIOUS and B: Energy PACKED! Be sure to add a side. A small salad packed with veggies and greens, sweet potato fries, baked potato wedges. Grab yourself a fish burger and go snag some sick waves!
Veggie Wrap
Lean clean filling option to get ready for that second surf sesh of the day. Gives back some of that energy you have lost and then some. Plus, it doesn’t weigh you down for the next sesh. Be sure to throw in some avocado, some grilled shrimp, or make it super special with some fresh mango salsa!
Afternoon Sesh Snack Ideas
Hard Boiled Eggs
Going back to the staple again. These bad boys are just what you need to recover from that sick surf sesh and hold off the hunger till dinner. Throw on some salt and pepper, or even a little bit of hummus!
Veggies and Hummus

Chicken/Fish Fillet with Sauteed Veggies, Salad, and Rice
