Week Three (LiveFit)
Posted on Jan 17, 2012 in breakfast, LiveFit | 24 comments
This is Week Three of the LiveFit trainer so today I got up at 5 and did legs (my favorite!) before school.
- Legs Extensions
- Wide Squats
- Walking Lunges <– I did these with a 50 lb barbell today and everything else afterwards was painful.
- Single Leg Dead Lifts
- Lying Leg Curls
- Seated Calves
- Standing Calves
Good thing leg day means extra carb day because I made a more carby (not a word) version of my quinoa bakes.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa – then cook it.
- 4 scoops protein powder
- 4 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened original almond milk
- 2 mashed bananas (I used this because I am out of applesauce and had some ripe bananas to get rid off) <– this is where the extra carbiness comes from. EDIT – If you use applesauce use 1/2 cup no sugar added
Directions:
- Pre-heat over to 325.
- Cook quinoa according to directions.
- Mix everything together.
- Pour into non-stick muffins tins (or spray with non-stick spray).
- Drop in berries of choice – I did blueberries and raspberries.
- Cook for 35 minutes (longer cook time from the bananas – also more bakes than normal).
Each individual bake has:
- calories: 131
- carbs: 18g
- fat: 2g
- protein: 11g
Two of these before the gym was just perfect
Tomorrow I’ll share my cooler for today for WIAW #3

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Welcome to my blogger registered investment advisor.
If you use Blogger and WordPress.com it actually doesn’t cost anything
I would try those first and see what you think about them.

How much applesauce do you use in your quinoa bakes? I’m so not good at figuring these things out!! I made your slow cooker chicken last night and it was GREAT!! Thanks for all the great ideas.
If I’m making one I use 2 tablespoons -hope that helps!! Glad you liked the chicken
Hi! In your recipe above for the Quinoa Bakes, you said you used two bananas in place of the applesauce…if I were to make these using the applesauce, how much would you use? I’m thinking a half cup? I have moooshy bananas already but I make protein pancakes in the morning and I think I’m starting to get banana’d out a little haha…
Thanks for your help and thanks for the awesome blog!
Yup! You are right now with 1/2 cup – hope you like it!

Challenge #2.. What kind of Quinoa did you use?…I used a whole grain organic quinoa…lets just say my boyfriend will eat anything I make, but his face told all that it was not so great…as well how did you tell if it was baked fully…mine was a little on the soft side but I was afraid of burning it.
I used organic quinoa too. It’s pretty hard to burn – I use the toothpick test. If he likes it sweeter you can add vanilla extract or a sweetener or our choice
Hi Monika!
When I took them out of the tin they kinda just crumbled. I didn’t include the protein powder, do you think that’s why?
I tried making these today with applesauce instead of banana, but they turned out to look like quinoa in a muffin tin…they weren’t “bready” at all like a muffin or the picture
