The temperatures are dropping, football season is in full swing, the days are getting shorter, and the leaves are changing... what does all of this mean?

Fall is officially here!! But more importantly, thick boy season is upon us.

Eating well and training well is what thick boy season is all about! This time of year brings the perfect conditions for packing on some serious size. Throw on your favorite pump cover, play some hard-hitting tunes, mix up your go-to pre-workout stack, and hit the gym!

It's no surprise that Seth Feroce is a HUGE fan of the fall.

He may be a professional bodybuilder with an intense personality, but don't let that fool you... Inside, he's a basic B that loves candles, coffee, apple picking, decorating, taking his kids to the pumpkin patch, and all the fall-inspired treats!

With the return of Farm Fed Cinnamon Apple Pie, we decided to gather up some of our favorite recipes from the Axe & Sledge family to create the ultimate thick boy season recipe guide!

These recipes are a great way to shake up your meal plan and keep you on track with your health and fitness goals!

Alli's Apple Pie Whey Drip

Alli Prince utilizes whey drip in prep and the offseason to add some flavor to her cream of rice without it turning into a soupy mess! Oftentimes if you add whey protein isolate to cream of rice, it becomes very watery but with this method that's not the case! It's bascially like making a healthy frosting to place on whatever your heart desires, such as cream of rice, rice cakes, oatmeal, or pancakes, etc.

Whey drip is very simple to make but you need the proper amount of water to powder ratio and Alli has perfected it! 

Ingredients

• 1 scoop (31 grams) Farm Fed Cinnamon Apple Pie
• 31 grams water, milk or unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

1. In a small bowl mix the Farm Fed with the water, milk or almond milk and mix until it has a frosting or icing like consistency. If you have a kitchen scale it makes the measuring of this much easier because you want to be precise! Adding too much water could ruin the recipe!
2. Place the bowl in the freezer or fridge for 5-10 minutes. This makes it even thicker!
3. Cook the cream of rice as directed and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
4. Pour the whey drip on top and add any other toppings you desire! Alli is a big fan of almond butter!
