 Morning it is currently 4 51 a.m. And I just pulled into the parking lot for this morning's boot camp It's much warmer today than it's been the last couple of weeks. So I am not complaining about that It's actually 50 degrees this morning. And when I was at boot camp on Friday, it was 33 I am still bundled up. I'll go ahead and pop a picture in here of what I'm wearing I still have multiple layers on really warm socks on I even wore a little ear muffings on Friday I don't think I'll need those today. And then I'm wearing my fit yon leggings These are those Lulu lemon dupe leggings that I'm obsessed with you can buy them on Amazon super affordable I'll link them for you guys, but I'm excited to get back to boot camp. I haven't been since Friday Today is a full-body day, which she usually likes to really work us hard on Mondays probably to make up for the weekend So I'm excited to see what's in store for me today. I did make my protein coffee this morning I'll pop up here on the screen. What is in my protein coffee? I'll also link my collagen and fiber that I add to my coffee in the description box for you I didn't finish it I always like to drink just a little bit to get me motivated in the morning And then I'll work on finishing that coffee when I get home today before I have some breakfast So I am going to go ahead and grab my weights grab my yoga mat and let's go sweat it out at 5 a.m Good morning guys. I am home from my workout. You saw that I put together my post-workout my 6 a.m. Run BCAA's I have these after every workout whether it's boot camp or lifting weights It really just helps with soreness and muscle recovery My legs are pretty sore from today. So I know that I definitely definitely need that I also thought I'd share with you guys this cute vest that I bought off of Amazon So it is a little bit of a cropped vest So it is a little bit on the shorter side. It does have strings that you can tighten it. You can zip it up You can leave it open. It is the softest warmest most comfortable vest And again, I picked it up off of Amazon super super affordable I'm actually considering going on to Amazon and buying a couple more colors because it is that Perfect my little sweater here is from fashion Nova So I'll link that down below for you guys as well But I thought that I'd share with you this vest because it is so amazing. So it's time for breakfast. I am hungry I actually have a new recipe here that I want to try These are the peanut butter Crumble yogurt parfait. So you guys know I love a good yogurt parfait the this recipe makes two I'm in the half the recipe and only make one. I'm also making a few more modifications only because I Don't want as much sugary things that this recipe has like it calls for honey It calls for molasses. So I'm gonna modify it a little bit, but basically we're making this really yummy protein packed parfait So let me show you what we need for the peanut butter crumble yogurt parfait. So a non-fat plain Greek yogurt Honey now the recipe called for molasses too. Like I said, I'm making some modifications You're going to need a nut butter and no surprise to anybody. I'm gonna use American dream nut butter This is the brands blend cookie batter peanut butter 15 grams of protein you guys and two tablespoons and only a hundred and forty five Calories it is almost gone So I thought that I would use it try to finish this up before moving on to another American dream nut butter I will link American dream down below for you guys with 10% off You're going to need some vanilla extract rolled out coconut flakes So these are the reduced fat coconut shredded no sweetener coconut flakes from sprouts I'm going to use my Kodiak protein flour because I might as well get in a little bit more protein in this recipe And then we need protein powder. So really any vanilla base protein powder I'm trying to finish this one up from integrated nutrition. My recommendation too would be the devotion angel food cake Amazing. We're making little cookie dough bites that go on top of our yogurt parfait parfait I mean, how good does that sound? So the first thing I'm going to do is put half of a cup of rolled oats Into my little magic bullet and we're just going to blend this down so that they're a little bit more fine We don't want the big chunks of oats You can maybe even use like quick cook steel cut oats, but I'm just going to blend them down So there we go. So it's a little bit more like an oat flour consistency So I'm going to add the oat mixture to a bowl and then I have a quarter cup of my American dream nut butter I'm going to put in one scoop of my vanilla protein powder a quarter cup of my my Kodiak protein flour about a tablespoon of honey and just under a teaspoon of vanilla extract now We're going to stir this all together and the this mixture is going to create the little cookie dough bites So I did decide to go ahead and do the full recipe of the cookie dough bites Because it says that you can store them for later and I can make another yogurt parfait another day this week So I did go ahead and just do the whole batch of the cookie dough mixture As always this recipe will be on my recipe website and my recipe website is in the description box So I'm going to mix this together a little bit more with my hands until we get a dough Consistency and then we're going to roll this mixture out into little balls And I'll put them here on this baking sheet and then they're going to go into our freezer While we put together the yogurt portion of the parfait So I'm going to weigh out a hundred and forty grams of non-fat plain Greek yogurt And then one tablespoon or fourteen grams of nut butter 15 grams close enough a teaspoon of honey, and then we're going to stir that together until fully mixed Look how good that looks with that nut butter with the cookies in it Oh, I'm so excited and then I'm going to put my yogurt mixture into a fun little parfait glass or in my case a wine glass I'm going to crumble up a couple of the cookie dough bites on top And like I said we can reserve these other ones I'm just going to throw them in a little Ziploc bag and throw them into my fridge And then I can make another parfait tomorrow or another day this week And I'll have these protein-packed little cookie bites on hand We're going to top it with a little sprinkle of the coconut flakes and there's our parfait doesn't that look amazing? I mean peanut butter Yogurt with cookie dough bites on top a little bit of coconut We are definitely going to do a taste test on this I will go ahead and put points calories and protein here on the screen for you So let's taste test this and see if it tastes as amazing as I think it's going to taste okay I'm really excited. I'm actually going to mix some of those little cookie dough bites in with the yogurt I want my bite to have a little bit of everything in it Smells so good. Cheers Wow, what is what what is the magic in here? It is so good It's peanut buttery. I get the oats. I get the chocolate I get the tartness from the yogurt that kind of cuts the sweetness Honestly, this would be a super super good dessert, but it is also a protein-packed breakfast Ten out of ten three hours later.

Yes immediately Diesel your big butt's in the way Your big butt's in the way made my way to duncan I'm so annoyed at the duncan app today on mondays. We're supposed to get free coffees Through the app. So I activate the offer. I start an order. I order my coffee I order troy sandwich troy's hash browns three little donut whole things I'm gonna eat one troy's gonna have the other two and it doesn't take off the free coffee And I cancel the order and start it over multiple times So I don't know the app changed with duncan It used to be really user friendly now I just struggle to get it to do any of the offers that are activated I even tried to do a free hash brown with the sandwich offer the other day that didn't work So I just paid for the hash brown so i'm gonna ask when I get up front if they can credit me but honestly the service at this duncan is Kind of hit and miss so we'll see what happens.

Cheers All right, it's lunchtime. I am hungry I bought these wassa crackers in my grocery haul and it has been years since I had these So I have been craving tuna salad and I thought these little crisp breads would be the perfect vessel for my tuna salad So I am going to make up three cans of tuna so that troy can eat and we have some leftovers I always use light mayo Sweet relish and then I'm going to pop in some diced up celery for a little bit of a crunch I'll probably have some fruit with that. I'm not really sure yet But my mission in life is to try out these wassa crackers because I remember these being really really good And each one is only 35 calories and it's huge. It's the entire size of this package So I think one maybe two is going to be perfect for my tuna salad I even chopped up some celery and put it in there. So we got a little bit of a crunch So here is my lunch. So I decided to just do one wassa cracker and just loaded it up with the tuna fish I have some blueberries and some cucumbers. I'll go ahead and put points calories protein here on the screen for you I'm not going to do any dick. I just want the crunch of the cucumber But I'm actually really excited about this.

I'm going to do half of a cup This is the two percent milk. They didn't have the non-fat at walmart, which is what I normally buy The two percent tastes really good. It's a lot thicker and creamier, but I generally go for the low fat I'm going to add half of a frozen banana I just allow my bananas to get really ripe and then I throw them in a ziploc baggie and throw them in my freezer I'm going to add the scoop of my oziva plant-based protein powder. I seriously Love love love this protein powder. I can't wait to experiment with this in baking Overnight oats.

It is packed with Amazing quality protein blue spirulina, which is a superfood.

I have been craving Pasta and I want pasta that has a lot of protein. So we're making some hamburger helper So let me show you what's in our recipe first. You're going to need salt and pepper as always I'll link my gravity fed salt and pepper grinders down below for you You'll need pasta and of course, of course, we're using fiber gourmet You guys know, this is my all-time favorite pasta. Troy loves this.

It is seriously the taste the texture is amazing It is our go-to pasta. We buy ours off of nettrition They sell all the different shapes and the price is the best So I'll link nettrition down below for you. You'll need some milk minced garlic 93 96 whatever ground beef you want to use some beef broth tomato paste and onion light shredded cheese and some fresh parsley into a large skillet. We're adding our one pound of ground beef We're going to break that up and allow that to brown I'm going to go ahead and chop up my onion while my ground beef is cooking Once your hamburger is just about brown, we're going to add in our chopped up onion and a big huge scoop of minced garlic Allow all of that to cook down till your hamburger is completely cooked through and your onions are translucent We're going to add in some salt and pepper and two tablespoons of tomato paste Mix that together really well Now we're going to add in one cup of milk One cup of beef broth And our box of fiber gourmet pasta. We're going to allow this to come to a boil And then we'll cover it allow it to simmer for about eight to ten minutes or until our pasta Is cooked al dente. I'm going to add the other half a bag of frozen corn that's in my freezer Just for some added veggies for tonight's meal. We don't really have any other veggies on hand So adding the corn to it is going to give us a veggie. It's a starchy veggie But it's going to give us a veggie and I think it's going to bulk up our hamburger helper Last step is we're adding one cup of light shredded cheese. Go ahead and stir that into the pasta Remove it from the heat. So here is my dinner for tonight. Doesn't this look so Good, I'm really excited about this.
