Recent Eats

Hi there!

I've really been wanting to post more frequently lately, but I keep forgetting to take pictures of my eats. I'm alway halfway done with my meal by the time I remember. Haha

Exercise Program Update: So back in September, I came down with a cold on my last week of TurboFire. GRRR! Why does that always happen?! :( I was a bit lazy with working out for a week or 2 and I recently started up a new program again. This time I am doing a TurboFire/ Chalean Extreme Hybrid! I'm already on week two. It's been pretty easy so far, but that's because this is recovery week. By week four, it starts to get a bit more intense and incorporating more TurboFire workouts. Wish me luck on not getting sick this time!


Here is a small collection of pictures showing off my recent eats...and I also have a yummy recipe for you guys at the end of this post. Enjoy! :)

Printable Recipe

Ingredients

2 eggs*

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (you can use any milk)

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla extract

6 very ripe bananas, mashed

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 cup stevia baking blend or 12 stevia packets

3 cups rolled oats

6 tbsp any flour (I used rolled oats ground into flour)

4 tsp baking powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350*F degrees. Combine the first 8 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.

2. Sprinkle dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Grease a 9x13 glass baking dish with non-stick spray. Pour batter into pan and shake it a bit to even out the top surface.

3. Bake for 35 minutes or until done. Cut into 12 pieces and store in the refrigerator.

~Makes 12 servings @ 155 calories , 0.8 grams of fat. (if using whole eggs)

*You can use egg whites instead of whole eggs or 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp flax meal + 6 tbsp warm water) to make it vegan. Adjust calorie count accordingly. :)

UPDATE: I made a batch of baked oatmeal today without adding stevia and using only REALLY ripe bananas. It tastes just as sweet to me! Just make sure you use really ripe bananas..like almost black. :)
