I started out my day with Les Mills Combat Power Kata. That workout is SO fun and really gets your heart rate up! Not to mention makes you stronger while learning to kick butt!
Then I refueled with a Protein Thin Mint Waffle. I’ve been doing “Waffle Wednesday’s” the past month or so. Feel free to join in if you’re on instagram and hashtag #wafflewednesday and tag me @sweatthesweetstuff I’d love to see your creations!
Protein Thin Mint Waffle
1/2 cup oat flour
1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder (you could ommit and just add extra flour)
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1/4 cup liquid egg whites
handul baby spinach
1/4 cup water
Pour into a waffle iron. Drizzle with healthy chocolate sauce:
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder & 1 tbsp water
For my morning snack I had whipped cottage cheese w/cashew butter, raw oats & dark chocolate chips. It tasted a lil like cookie dough! 🙂
I was on the go for lunch so I took my shakeology with me. Today’s flavor was S’mores. I simply added 1 Erewhon graham cracker & 2 pumps sugar free toasted marshmallow coffee syrup. De-licious!
My afternoon snack shared w/my good friend Jessica was garlic parmesan popcorn. (Made by placing kernels in a brown paper bag in the microwave) what a cinch! Then added a lil parmesan & garlic powder and shook up. Threw in some wasabi peas & pretzels.
Dinner I’m calling a greek bowl. I love having a base of quinoa or brown rice and adding a protein & veggies to make different combos. The possibilities are endless. Here’s how I made this one:
Greek Bowl
1/4 cup dry quinoa cooked in 1/2 cup water ( I use a rice cooker)
1 Chicken breast cooked and cut into pieces
Sliced cucumber
Handful baby spinach, chopped
About 5-7 grape tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp chopped parsley
feta
tzatziki sauce:
1 tbsp greek yogurt
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp peeled & shredded cucumber
1/8 tsp minced garlic
a couple dashes dill
1/2 tsp chopped chives
pinch salt + pepper
And for my favorite meal of the day. Besides breakfast. Dessert. I don’t which I like best. I’d have to say it’s a tie!
Oatmeal Raisin Banana Protein Icecream
1 banana sliced & frozen
1/2 scoop cinnamon bun casein powder
splash alomd milk
Blend in food processor til smooth.
Add 2 tbsp rolled oats & 1 tbsp raisins
I have a healthy dessert every night. It feeds my muscles while I sleep for repair & growth so i don’t feel the slightest guilt!
