Happy Hump Day Everyone!!!!  It's time for WorkIt Wednesday! 

 

I wanted to share a delicious recipe for banana nut protein muffins!  

Part of living a healthy lifestyle, doesn't just mean working out, it also means eating real food and nourishing your body. Your body needs fuel in order to function/workout, and the best fuel is real, natural food. By real and natural- I mean as close to nature as possible. This is basically the food on the outside of the grocery store- vegetables, meats, fruits, nuts,etc.  A diet filled with processed foods will only leave you feeling sluggish and tired.  Now, this doesn’t mean that you can't ever enjoy a treat once in a while (I enjoy pizza and ice cream myself), but getting fit and being healthy, means living a lifestyle that supports that. There are also plenty of foods out there that are not only delicious, but also good for you! Like this banana nut protein muffin recipe, for example! :) 

Recipe: 

2 large ripe bananas 

¾ cup egg whites 

½ plain low fat greek yogurt 

¾ cup of oats 

2 scoops of vanilla protein powder 

¼ baking stevia 

1 tsp baking powder 

1 tsp baking soda 

1 tsp cinnamon 

Method: 

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

2.Spray muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray (or use cupcake holders) 

3.Place all ingredients in a blender, and blend until mixture is smooth 

4.Sprinkle crushed walnuts on top of mixture once in tin 

5.Bake for 15-18 minutes 

6.Enjoy! :) 

Here also is this weeks workout: 

5 RFT (rounds for time): 

10 squats 

10 split leg jumps (each leg) 

10 burpees 

If your legs aren't burning by the end of this, you didn't work hard enough :) and remember- NEVER QUIT!!!! You'll be so happy when it's over, and you finished the workout!!
