Coconut Chocolate Chip Banana Oat Protein Bites

February 23, 2012

This is what happened last night when I was up too late waiting for the PowerBall numbers to be called so decided I wanted to make a healthy yet kind of sweet snack.  I put together a few of my fave ingredients.  Baked them in the oven for a few.  Let ‘em sit out for a few longer.  Didn’t win PowerBall.  Scored a yummy treat with a really long name.  Half may or may not already be gone.

The steps in pictures:

And the end result:

These are a great filling little snack, post-meal treat, or pre-workout fuel!  They are just sweet enough to satisfy my sweet tooth but don’t leave me wanting more and more like some foods do and make me feel gross after.  I’m talking to you, chocolate chip cookies.

Enjoy the healthier treat!  Let me know how you like them if you try them out :)

Squat & Sculpt, 11s Giveaway Winner

February 23, 2012

Good morning! Happy Thursday people, it’s almost Friday! We are gettin’ there!

I woke up this morning to complete a lil’ leg circuit I made up in my head before I went to sleep last night.  The whole thing took around 30 minutes.  I did it while I was watching SportsCenter (the only good thing on TV at 6am I think) and this is what it looked like:

Pic look familiar? ;)

I am already feeling the effects of all the squats and lunges…my quads were not happy to be walking up the stairs after this.  I plan on getting a run in with Mav this afternoon so hopefully my legs aren’t too tired!

My breakfast at my desk was a CORE foods Warrior Meal Raw Almond Raisin bar with a sliced banana alongside a cup of black coffee.

I really love the CORE foods products.  I highly recommend!
