Getting stronger!

I've conquered the head handstand-you use your whole core to lift your legs and steady your whole body! Love it! And of course handstand pushups re always awesomeness.

Green Pancakes

So following my leg session i couldnt decide to have protein pancakes or have a spinach omelet...so i compromised with myself and made both together.
Green Pancakes:
1/4 cup fresh or frozen spinach
1 egg white
1 tbsp raw oats
splash of almond milk
vanilla liquid stevia
(i also added but they're optional: green tea leaves, wheat grass powder)
1. blend. cook like a normal pancake. I topped mine with protein frosting (vanilla protein mixed with water).
*this makes one; i had this with a greek yogurt parfait so you can totally double it.
*also you can turn these savory by nixing the stevia and adding italian seasoning or something.

WHATS YOUR FAV PROTEIN PANCAKE RECIPE???

Parfait Heaven

So last night I made a parfait for dinner and it was so good I wanted another for breakfast! I change it up though last night I used chocolate protein and this morning used vanilla.
Overnight Oats Protein Parfait:
1/3 cup raw oats
1 tbsp each flax and chia seeds
2 tbsp nonfat vanilla yogurt
Greek yogurt
Nut butter
Berries
Granola
1 scoop vanilla protein
Almond milk
1. Mix 1-3 at night and store in fridge.
2. Make protein frosting by adding almond milk very slowly to protein, stirring constantly until you get to right consistency.
3. Stir oats and add a dash of almond milk to loosen it up.
4. Start layering. I did Greek yogurt, overnight oats, peanut butter, berries, protein frosting, granola. I don't make my layers very thick so you can choose to have thick or thin layers.
I like thin because you can get all the layers on one bite and not have to mix up your pretty parfait to get to everything.
Enjoy!
*last night I did the same thing but made chocolate protein frosting.

New Workout Gear!!!

Oh yes I was busy yesterday...
After the gym I went by F21 and got some tanks.
I had a field day messing around with which quote should go on which top.
And after completing all these I jut kept going and cut up an old T but I'll post that one later; let's just say that one shows a little more me :)

Go harder and heavier!!!

Yesterday was chest and tri day followed with the stairmaster...the dread of the gym. Well it doesnt have to be if youre keeping yourself occupied by changing up your steps. Climb forward, climb backward, climb sideways (both legs), climb wide, climb narrow, climb on your toes (in, out, straight)...oh the possibilities!!! Is it sad that im always excited about training... :)

By the way, the hot guy was there...exchanged looks and smiles and a "Good Morning" and a "are you using that bench" "oh no go ahead" Why am i so lame???
Last nights dinner was basically one of my favorites that i could eat every single day-100% clean and yummy! Fish, garden fresh veggies, and brown rice..yup thats it. I would chose this over a slice of pizza and cake anyday.

So today was leg day and was so excited! I had my usual oatmeal smoothie and was out of the house by 715. I pushed so hard and lifted so heavy my legs were shaking! How do you know you cant go heavier unless you try? I increased my weights on all my moves. (ps i need new ear buds, the wires are showing!)

I had my amazing protein shake; im not kidding when i say i make the best! it tastes exactly like a wendys frosty and has the consistancy of it too! the secret? after you blend it, stick it in the freezer for about 40mins. I then pack it in a cooler while im workin out and it is so thick and creamy i wish it wouldnt end. I am so excited for it everytime i finish a workout.
I had to work today so i packed my lunch which was overnight oats in a giant peanut butter jar. It consisted of oats, almond milk, greek yogurt, chia seeds, flaxseed, vanilla stevia, the last of the pnut butter and cinnamon. When i got to work i added granola for a crunchyness and blueberries and strawberries. My coworkers were staring at me but it was sure tasty!

WHAT IS YOUR FAV OVERNIGHT OATS CONCOCTION???

Avocado Chocolate Pudding & Parfait

OMG superfood goodness!
Ive seen a version of AvoChoc Pudding on Pintrest but never looked at it cause i was like eh..
Well i had some avocados and i was like why not? I wanted a parfait post gym and intertwined them.
Avocado Chocolate Pudding:
1/2 avocado
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
10 drops liquid vanilla stevia
water to loosen
1. throw all in magic blender (or whatever you have). blend till smooth.
*make sure you dont add a lot of water at first, add more if needed.

It's so thick and creamy!
So now on to my AvoChocParfait:

Fat free cottage cheese mixed with cinnamon, mixed berries, Bob's Mill Granola, nonfat vanilla yogurt mixed with flaxseed & peanut flour, avocado pudding, more cottage cheese, more granola, and dollop of avocado pudding!

* change it up: i have had this twice already and i added coconut butter, skim ricotta cheese, nut butter, greek yogurt....oh the possibilities...
WHAT DOES YOUR FAV PARFAIT CONSIST OF???

Oh 'Boy' Today

Today's recap basically:
Woke up this morning to dehydrated abs. Made my overnight oats into a smoothie (oats, yogurt, chia seeds, 1/2frozen banana, frozen berries, green tea, peanut flour).

Was at the gym at 745 for back & biceps and followed that with 30mins hill HIIT. Let's just say I was soaked with sweat! (too bad the hot guy was not there today, I was lookin forward to seein him...how sad do I sound? Lol)

I packed my ChocBanPBProtein Shake and drank it down before hittin up Trader Joes where I piked up some more almond milk and Greek yogurt. After, I went to Forever21 to get alone new gym shorts; got both for only $13 bucks! While checking out my new shorts in the dressing room I saw my gastrocnemius' (my calf muscles)! I was pretty amped to see the definition.

I got home to Artisana & Larabar boxes on my porch so I knew I had to incorporate them into my lunch; Greek yogurt with granola, walnut butter, and a heated up peanut butter cookieLarabar. Delicious!

I busted out some more back exercises and road the stationary bike for a bit. I had my Watermelon Coconut Slushy with veggies & hummus.

I was on a role with my motivational tanks; I had so many letters left, I was busting out quotes left and right. So tomorrow I need to pick up 5 more tips so I can iron my letters on. So stay tuned for what will be on them...

ANY GUESSES OF WHAT QUOTES I CAME UP WITH???
