1 can (rinsed) chickpeas/garbanzo beans

Fruit: 6 strawberries or 1 banana or 1/2c applesauce

3 tbsp nut butter

3/4c almond milk

Blend in blender until really smooth and creamy.

3 scoops vanilla protein (I used WFitNutrition Vanilla Coconut)

1 1/2c oat flour

Pour into sprayed muffin tins or liners.

Optional toppings: choc chips, cacao nibs, nuts, coconut flakes, etc.

Bake 350 for 15-20mins.

As you can see I used caco nibs, extra dark choc chips, dabs of PB, and a mix.

Orange Creamsicle:

1 peeled orange

2 peeled cuties

1 serving Vanilla Coconut WFit Protein or vanilla protein

1c chopped pecans

2/3c chopped almonds

2 scoops cinnamon swirl protein 

3/4 tbsp cinnamon

2. Mix oats, nuts, spices, protein. 

3. In another bowl heat applesauce, oil, syrup, molasses, vanilla until all combined and liquidy.

4. Add the molasses mix to oat mix. Stir really good to coat everything.

5. Bake 1hr. Toss/crumble halfway through. Allow to cool for couple hrs before storing.

Sorry for the lack of pictures! I literally made this in in like 15mins before I had to be somewhere. It turned out yummy so I had to share even without the step by step picture show. 

You could totally make these into bars too because there is enough wet ingredients to mold into bars. Just dump into a lined 8x8 dish and smooshed down. I would do the same temp but maybe a less time so the bottom doesn't burn, just check. 

Protein Brownies

I make these once a week because they are THAT good and THAT easy and THAT healthy!

I receive new protein so I decided to make them using WfitNutrition Chocolate mocha protein. 

I change up the recipe weekly by changing the protein flavors or the extracts.

Protein Brownies:

1 can rinsed/drained black beans

2 eggs

2 1/2 scoops WfitNutrition chocolate mocha protein 

2tbsp melted coconut oil 

1/2c (or so) almond milk

1 tbsp vanilla extract (or peppermint or butter or almond or any really)

1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Stevia 

1. In a blender, add beans, eggs, almond milk, extract, coconut oil and stevia. Blend until really smooth and all the black bits are gone. 

2. Add cocoa. Blend. Need more liquid? Drizzle in some almond milk while blending.

3. Add half a scoop at a time while blender is on. Add almond milk as needed. 

4. Pour into lined 8X8 pan or a cake pan. 

5. Bake 350 for 18-20mins. I pull mine out at about 18. Allow to cool before cutting. I get 8 bars out of it.

I really want to double the recipe and use two cake pans and create a layered chocolate cake with a paleo coconut cream frosting...maybe that's to come!

Lumps of Protein Coal

So I adapted these from Jasmine (aka @jazzythings on IG) but totally changed the outcome.

She keeps these frozen which I started to do...but then i wanted something warm at the moment. So I decided to bake em!

Then after I made them, I realized they fit perfect for this Christams season because they look like "lumps of coal." So if you want to mess with little ones, play a joke and say Santa left you these coal cookies haha

Mint Chocolate Protein "Lumps of Coal:"

-4 scoops chocolate protein powder

-1/3c flax

-1/3c 100% maple syrup

-1/3c almond butter (I used chunky)

-1/2tsp peppermint extract

-3-6tbsp almond milk

1. Mix protein and flax.

2. In separate bowl, nuke maple syrup, almond butter. Add extract and START with 3 tbsp of almond milk.

3. Add to protein mix. Stir really well. 

4. Not coming together? Add a tbsp at a time of almond milk. Stir stir stir. It will come together in a ball.

5. Preheat 325. I stuck the mix in the freezer until the oven was preheated so it would be easier to handle.

6. Roll into balls. Keep them all the same size.

7. Now the tricky part:baking time. I put them in for 3mins (yup 3!). Checked them. Then left the oven door open and watched.

The key is-once you can pick them up off the foil without them sticking, they're done! That is why you want them all the same size. So literally about a total AT THE MOST is 5mins cooking time. 

It's protein powder so it cooks weird.

I literally ate them right then and there. These are gooey and sticky! I enjoyed kinda sucking on one...weird yes but you'd understand once you put it I your mouth.

Carrot Cake in a bowl

Yummm I've been having a different version if this every Sunday because it's so good! 

I had some leftover steamed carrots so I wanted to add them into my smoothie.

Carrot Cake Smoothie:

1 c ice

1 banana 

1/2c liquid (I did half water half coconut milk)

1 scoop vanilla protein (I used cellucor)

10 cold steamed mini carrots 

Dashes of pumpkin spice & cinnamon 

*add all to blender

As you can see I LOVE cinnamon!

*blend up until really smooth!

So to finish my bowl, I pour some type up puffed cereal (this is puffed wheat), and I added a handful of my paleo crunch too.

*pour smoothie right over

Optional is topped with syrup or more cinnamon or whatever!

Smoothie in a PB Jar

Mmmm sooo goooddddd!!!

Chocolate Smoothie poured into an almost empty PB jar.

1 cup ice

1/2 frozen banana

1/2 cup water

2 cups (or more) fresh spinach

1 scoop Cellucor's Molten Chocolate Protein

Cocoa powder

Blended for about 5 mins-very very important that is for this long because that makes the spinach break down making the smoothie seriously so unbelievably thick! 

I had a bag of Pumpkin Flax Seed Granola out so every so often I poured some in it to give it some crunchiness. 

Getting to the bottom was the best part...the peanut butter. I of course scraped the sides all around as I downed it.

Scraped clean. If I had a long arse tongue I would have licked it!

Eat To Gain Article

I stumbled across this article on FB. I find it interesting and mostly true. Some would disagree.

http://www.musclespro.com/2011/11/10-ways-to-eat-for-gaining-in-right.html

Take it as you may.

My Opinions: 

This claims that after a workout, your bod needs a fast digestible protein not a slow one-I agree. It says that a protein meal (aka meat) takes too long to digest so your muscles are not getting the proper nutrients right away so while you think you have fed them, they are still starving. The say a protein powder is key to have right away; your bod digests it right away supplying those starving muscles with amino acids. 

Lots would disagree and say that whole foods are just fine and you don't need to rely on powders. 

I see results either way and I do both. I know plenty of pple on IG that use supps as some that do whole foods; they both look fab and know their shiz. 

What do you do post workout?

MyOatmeal Pancakes

So remember my post on the myoatmeal.com ??? Well here just a sample of how I've been eating them!

I used my PB Fiend homemade oats (PB flavored with powder PB, and banana chips), protein, egg whites, flax, water and stevia blended together and cooked like a pancake.

Yummy! The PB flavor totally came out with adding real PB to the mix...of course I still added some on top!

Get you oats on MyOatmeal.com

Breakfast for Dinner!

This morning a busted out a hard 1,000+ rep leg WOD so today I've been feedin my muscle lots and lots of clean eats! This was my meal 6 and last meal of the day.

Coconut Flour Pancake:

-2tbsp coconut flour

-2 egg whites

-1 scoop protein (I used Cellucor's vanilla)

-liquid stevia

-water to loosen

1. I added all to my shaker bottle & shook up.

2. Cool like normal pancake in a pan (I used coconut oil)

*i topped mine with 1 tbsp of peanut butter and my homemade vanilla very chia seed jelly (previous posts). Also some prunes on the side. 

*use discount code: PeaceLoveFit on cellucor.com to get the protein.

Homemade Protein Poptart

So I decided to give this whole homemade poptart thing a try since ive seen it all over IG:

I mixed Cellucor's PB marshmellow protein, banana, coconut flour, PB, & water into a thick paste, dropped it onto a ezekiel tortilla, folded and grilled. Made choc frosting with Cellucor's molten choc protein and water. 

*So as I made it, the mixture inside actually started to cook into a bread-y texture so next time I'll leave out the coconut flour to have more of a doughy consistency like a real Poptart. Also try adding Greek yogurt to the mix to have it more doughy; I don't eat dairy so I just opted out for that an added more banana.

*There are so many ways you can change this up-this was simply a very simple recipe. You could do a different protein flavor (strawberry, chocolate, or whatever you have), use different add-ins (fruit, nuts, nut butter, seeds, jam etc), and frosting! Plus you can use any tortilla or wrap you want.
