Here are some of the things you will find in my house every week.
Mineral Water – San Pellegrino or Gerolsteiner after yoga is so delicious and thirst quenching
Almonds – 12-20 is an easy snack that packs a protein punch. Plus they go on just about anything from yogurt, fruit, cereal to cooked green beans
Drawer Bars – I store energy, protein bars, and grainy bars like a squirrel. You will find them in my office desk drawer, glove box and workout bag. You have to make sure your Blood SUGARS are BALANCED.
Smoothie – I’m knocking back a smoothie of some kind at least 4 days a week. My favorite smoothie is called Happy Belly Smoothie created by Jillian Raycroft. Check it out on her awesome website www.makelovetoyourlife.ca or email me and I will send you the recipe.
Hummus & Crackers - My go to right now is caramelized onion hummus with Mary Crackers or Nut Thins.
Dark Chocolate & Red Wine – Because it’s Dark Chocolate & Red Wine :)
5 Sweet Tooth Cures
- Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
Heat 1-2 squares of your favourite chocolate (preferably dark) in a pan until melted. Dip washed and dried strawberries in melted chocolate. If you can wait, put them in the fridge for a few mintues so chocolate can harden.
TeaPops - www.deebeesorganics.com. One of my new favourites!
- Intensely Dark Almond Hot Chocolate
Heat a cup of Almond Milk (original, not unsweetened) in a pot. Add a 1-2 Tbsp of Cocoa Camino Intensely Dark Drinking Chocolate. Heat and stir.
- Warm Berries & Greek Yogurt
Warm frozen berries (or mixed frozen fruit) on stove top, or in the microwave. Top with plain 0% greek yogurt and a dash of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey.
- One-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream
Here’s how to make it: Peel 2 very ripe banana. Cut them into small pieces. Freeze for just 1-2 hours on a plate. Blend, blend, blend - scraping down the bowl when they stick. Enjoy the magic moment when they turn into ice cream!
