This post was meant for Friday, however my site is currently changing hosting providers and I had some technical difficulties. So the site was up and down and not posting. ACK. It appears to be all up and running again!! Thank goodness!!
Now that is all behind us(I hope), let’s talk about some fitness. I have continued doing Revolt Fitness, but also have upped my gym time. I love Revolt Fitness and even after my 12 weeks, I will continue to use it. That being said, I have now started to go to the gym regularly again. I always went before, but I have definitely logged in way more hours as of late. Working out with the hubby makes me bring up my game! My 30th birthday is looming right around the corner (3.5 weeks) and I have this determination to be at my best for it. Whatever motivates you, run with it!
Recently I introduced a protein mug cake recipe to the hubby, since then……. HE IS ALWAYS REQUESTING IT! It has taken many versions and many freak outs…..but I think I might just have figured it out. I also had some help with some really great protein. Those of you that have read my blog and followed my strife with trying to find a happy medium with the hubbys allergies know that I can’t just go and use any protein in his diet. It has to be lactose free & gluten free. The poor man can’t really have much that comes out of a package anymore. And let’s all be honest, that isn’t a bad thing, just more work for me 🙂 So when North Coasts Naturals contacted me to try out some of their products, I was more than ready to give these a try. We’ve tried several natural proteins and have found some pretty good ones, but this one tops the cake for the hubby. He LOVES it! He says it breaks down perfectly in his blender cup, no chalky taste and has no tummy reactions from it. YAY!! Oh and I forgot to mention that it’s a Canadian company!!!! Is it possible to love them anymore?
Ingredients: Yields 1
- one scoop of North Coasts Natural Chocolate protein (or any chocolate protein)
- 1/2T coconut flour
- 1/4c almond milk(or any desired milk)
- 1 egg white
- 1T cooca powder
- 1 packet of stevia (or liquid drops)
- 1t baking powder
Directions: Mix all ingredients in a kitchen oil sprayed mug, cover and microwave for 35-40 seconds(watch this as it may be mushy or to dry). Flip upside down and put it on a plate.
Toppings:You can honestly just go crazy here, but this is what my husband recommends.
- 1T almond chocolate butter (I heat this up for 25seconds and spread it on the cake like icing)
- pb2 maple sauce (1t pb2, 1tsp almond milk, 1/4t pure maple syrup)
- assorted fruit
Oh it’s quite yummy and you would NEVER know that it was pretty guilt free. BONUS!!
WHOOPS!! I didn’t realize that I photographed the french side and not english. But you guys get the idea right? LOL
Remember how I said it was not possible to love North Coast Naturals anymore than I already do? Well guess what…they want you to love them just as much!! I will be giving away not one, but two tubs of protein. You pick Chocolate or Vanilla(Oh and I may just have ANOTHER recipe with the vanilla, this will just get you ready). This will run from Today, July 15th to July 23rd at midnight CST. Only open to Canadian Addresses.
