Leg Workout and Paleo Almond Butter Banana Muffins
Posted Sep 17 2012 9:40am
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend I know we did! Saturday I did legs and while it might not seem like a lot – it kills!
Then we went for a hike on Camelback mountain (we always do Echo Canyon which is the ‘harder’ side) the weather was soooo nice – I am thrilled it is finally below 100!
AND spent sometime outside with the bugs
Yesterday during football I wanted to try to make some paleo protein muffins and I have to say I think these were a success. BUT BE WARNED: I do not like sweeteners so if you usually cook with some form of sweetener (or vanilla extract) I would add it because you might find this to be not sweet enough for you.
Ingredients:
2 ripe mashed bananas
3 tbsp almond butter
6 scoops vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup almond meal
1/2 cup greek yogurt
3 tbsp ground flaxseed
1/2 cup liquid (I was out of almond milk so I used water)
1/2 tsp baking soda
a few shakes of cinnamon
Direction:
Mix everything together and put in a muffin tin (3/4 of way).
Bake at 325 for 25 minutes or until done.
Here are the stats for 2 muffins (I made 12, so 6 servings)
And I made some grilled chicken for lunch the next few days. It is a super easy marinade of a few tbsp of dijon mustard and 1/4 cup of lemon juice. Then right before you grill just put on your favorite no-salt seasoning.
Cardio yesterday was just wind sprints for 15 minutes at 6.0 incline and 8.5 MPH. I am loving doing sprints on an incline and cannot believe how much harder it makes it. I do 30 seconds on and 30 seconds off.
Hope everyone is starting our their week out great this morning – don’t forget you can still enter to win the HTC One X from ATT&T – How did you spend your weekend?
