green protein smoothie
One final down, three to go…this is my break from studying. A few random things….I discovered last time I made an oatmeal bake and forgot to share that a great way to keep it from getting dry during the week is to store it in a large plastic bag with a paper towel in it when you first put it in the fridge. That way as the bake cools the paper absorbs the moisture and keeps the bake soft without it getting the condensation on it directly. I also tried some new ab exercises from this guy on simply shredded I have to say I am of fan of how he explains which moves properly work the muscles and which ones are less efficient. How To Workout Your Lower Abs from...
Read Morecatching up
4/21: back and shoulder lifting and 20 minutes on treadmill 4/22: 30 minutes on elliptical – made it after HH – that’s pretty amazing. 4/23: total body with glute focus and weighted abs 4/24: 2 hours mountain biking Once again I have to apologize (if anyone read this beside my mom and those close friends who already know I am super overwhelmed) but school is crazy right now with finals coming up so not only do I not have time to blog but also nothing I eat has been very exciting…mostly due to lack of time. It’s pretty much banana bake, chicken and sweet potatoes, turkey burgers and fruits and veggies. Once I have something more awesome to...
Read Moreclean berry banana protein bake
So I wanted to try the banana bake a little differently as I have a bag of frozen berries in the fridge and I am getting sick of just have my protein with water on my way home from the gym in the pm. This is my new snack for immediately after lifting. I cut it in four pieces and each piece has apx: 400 Calories 36(g) Protein 12(g) Sugar 48(g) Carbs 7(g) Fat Ingredients: 2 cups of rolled oats 4 scoops of vanilla whey protein powder 2 tbs ground flaxseed 1 tbs chia seed 1 tsp bee pollen 1 tsp baking powder 2 tbsp cinnamon sprinkle nutmeg 1 egg 1.5 cups fat free milk 1 tsp coconut oil 1 mashed banana 1/2 cup to 1 cup frozen mixed...
Read Moreprotein oatmeal banana bake – YUM!
I eat oatmeal with vanilla protein powder basically every day and I am getting slightly sick of it….plus I have been running slightly late recently. My point it that I saw this oatmeal bake on a bicycle built for Two and also on Kath Eats Real Food and wanted to try it. The only problem I saw was that the bake didn’t have my morning protein in it. Soo…I modified it a little and this is what I came up with: Clearly I HAD to use these today… Ingredients: 2 cups of rolled oats 4 scoops of vanilla whey protein powder 2 tbs ground flaxseed 1 tbs whole flaxseed 1 tbs chia seed 1 tsp baking soda – was supposed...
Read Moreclassic banana bread
So this weekend was a great one spent with my fatkid and his mother who was in town visiting us for the first time. She got to see the house, we went to a baseball game and spent time with out friends. On Sunday while we were lazing around recovering from Friday and Saturday John asked me for the 10th time to make him “regular” banana bread – translation: with sugar and butter. So I gave in and looked up some recipes and adapted from these two: basic banana bread and classic banana bread. It turned out delicious but because it is not super healthy I probably won’t be making it on a regular basis enjoy! c Ingredients: 2 cups all purpose...
Read Morehealthy banana nut bread
New recipe number 2! The fatkid loves banana bread and has been asking me to make it for him since I started this new cooking hobby. The problem is that every recipe I came across that claimed to be “healthy” still had loads of butter and sugar in it. I found a recipe finally after browsing for what seemed like an eternity, see it here: banana bread. But it still had to be adapted and so this is what I came up with. Ingredients: 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup all purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 tsp cinnamon sprinkle of nutmeg spring of ground cloves 3 mashed bananas 1 egg 2 tbsp of plain non-fat greek yogurt 1/4...
Read Moreperfect no-bake banana berry oat bars
So last week I did my first try of no-bake bars and while they were good they weren’t entirely successful. I thought I needed some more dry ingredients for the consistency. This week I tried again and has great success – these are so yummy and had a real granola bar consistency. I must say I’m pretty proud of myself – they made a great post hike snack this afternoon when we got home. Hopefully you enjoy them too! Ingredients: 1/2 cup almond butter 1/2 cup honey 2 tsp coconut oil 2 1/2 cups Kashi Go Lean 2 cup rolled oats 1 cup coarsely ground mixed nuts 1/2 cup cranberries dried 1/2 cup blueberries – fresh 1 1/2 tbsp...
Read Morego-to every day oatmeal
I have to eat breakfast every day – and you should too! Not only is it important health wise but it sets the track for your entire day. I am a big fan of oatmeal for breakfast – partly because of the Eat Clean Diet but mostly I have just always been a cereal or oatmeal for breakfast kind of girl. My every day breakfast is usually the below recipe. It’s quick, tastes good, has all the elements I need for breakfast and it keeps me full for a about three hours until after my first class. go-to everyday oatmeal Ingredients: ½ cup old-fashion oats 2-3 tbsp blueberries 2 tbsp ground flaxseed 1 tbsp coconut oil 1 scoop vanilla...
Read Morevery berry banana oat bars (no-bake)
So today we started out with another hike, the weather is just too amazing to not enjoy it. It was probably around 70 and slightly overcast. We did one of the harder mountains in the area with a friend of mine from school and beat our previous time so we were very excited about that. We also have been thinking about getting mountain bikes lately because we just bought a house that has a lot trails near it and so after researching for the last week or so we finally decided on two. Fatkid got a bright green Scott and we ordered a smaller white Scott for me – I can’t wait for it to get here! When we got home from running errands he...
Read Moreperfect saturday :) muffins included
So we had a really great Saturday so far, I slept in (which for me is anything past 7) and went to Flow Yoga at 9:15. This was the first class I was able to make it to all week so I was really glad about that. Then when I got home we decided to go hiking at a new mountain which I’ve been to before but the fatkid hadn’t. It was 75 degrees and beautiful out! We worked up quite an appetite so we had some of the chicken tacos I posted about yesterday and I decided to try my second batches of both Mini Kashi** Banana Muffins and ”Clean” Zucchini Bread. I was out of agave nectar so for both recipes I just used honey but I also made some changes (for...
