almond butter and jelly pancakes
Yesterday was the conclusion of LiveFit Week 7 and it was back day. I like the workout but came home and desperately wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Instead, I made an almond butter and jelly protein pancake. I actually hate strawberry jelly but I made it with strawberries because that was all I had. Today I bought some blackberries to try that next time. Ingredients: 6 egg whites 2 tbsp coconut flour 2 tbsp oat bran 1 tbsp flaxseeed 1/2 tbsp chia seeds 3-4 strawberries (I will prob add more next time) cinnamon Directions: Blend together and put in a pan. I didn’t think about and poured the whole thing in. *Next time I will make 2-3 smaller ones...
Read MoreWeek Three (LiveFit)

Legs Extensions Wide Squats Walking Lunges <– I did these with a 50 lb barbell today and everything else afterwards was painful.

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...

So Week Three of the 12 Week Trainer is almost over and I liked the back/bicep and leg workouts below the best.

Read Morean unusual breakfast
I cannot take credit for this new breakfast idea. I got it from Ashley at the edible perspective and had to try it. I cooked my quinoa with 1 cup water and 1 cup unsweetened almond milk and then let it cool for a few minutes. Topped with greek yogurt, cinnamon and a fresh plum – yum!! I have to admit it is a lot like eating oatmeal, just thicker and with a nuttier flavor. I did enjoy it though. It’s also extremely filling, more so than oatmeal I think. The nutritional value is pretty impressive too! In contemporary times, this crop has become highly appreciated for its nutritional value, as its protein content is very high (12%–18%)....
Read Morecherries quinoa bake
I looooove fresh bing cherries and I have been waiting to get them because they have been incredibly expensive where we live. Luckily I found them at Costco on tuesday and I got some. I thought the perfect thing to put them in is my breakfast quinoa bakes I have been loving. I found the original recipe on Healthful Pursuit and just tweaked it a little. Today I did this: Ingredients: 1/8 cup whole grain uncooked quinoa 1 tbsp old fashioned oats 2 tbsp flaxseed (I was out of Chia seeds so I added an extra of this) 2 tbsp applesauce 1 scoop protein powder (of course) 1/4 cup almond milk cinnamon to taste Directions: First I cooked the quinoa according to the...
Read Morehappy friday!
So I have made these blueberry quinoa bakes recently and I tried them today in the microwave. I only used an 1/8 cup raw quinoa and then a tbsp of oats instead of the original 1/4 cup quinoa. They baked in about 2 minutes which is way quick than baking them but I think I like the crispiness of the outside better with the baking. Either way, it was good to know these can be make in less than 10 minutes if I’m in a hurry. Literally 5 minutes if the quinoa is already cooked. This is pic of it mixed up since in the microwave it exploded a little Today I am thankful for: good friends good food a good life short and sweet Today is rest day for the gym so I am off...
Read Moregood morning :)
Good morning everyone!! I got some great news last night so today is definitely a great one. Lets start with goals: I am thankful…that taking better care of myself reflected in my school progress second semester. (I realize this might sound a little selfish but hear me out). That I was taught healthy eating at a young age so that I wasn’t trying to start from scratch when I really decided to commit to it. For my legs – they allow me to do so much and I feel that often people without physical challenges take their ability to move/walk/dance/run for granted. Just remember that next time you don’t want to go running/do yoga/weight lift/swim/walk...

I am super excited about it but if I am not posting as...
