Trying Something New!
Do you ever get tired of the same ol stuff like protein bars, protein smoothies, and protein shakes. Sure I like all that stuff. I like to eat just regular hard boiled egg whites. I like those for breakfast.
I decided to help my ladies out by home baking some muffins. I found that the ladies don’t eat breakfast too much and that after a great workout they leave my studio hungry. I too leave kind of hungry. I have found that if you are hungry after you eat, that some people (not everyone) will tend to grab the first thing they can get their hands on. It is usually a bag of chips and a soda. Just because you workout doesn’t mean you can fill those calories burned back with junk.


So, I decided to help them make a better choice. I started making some low-fat, protein muffins. All kinds, blueberry, apple spice, and the choices are just unlimited. I substitute the milk with non-fat milk, and I use the egg whites instead of the whole egg, and if calls for vegetable oil I use olive oil. (i know any kind of liquid oil is really not good). I figure this help tie them over until they get home and can get something better. Oh, for the protein I use a powder from Arbonne (check out my go figure page). I use the vanilla flavor.


Just have one for a snack, don’t eat them as a whole meal or eat like a dozen.
So, if you want to try something different and look after your hard work in the gym, try a low-fat protein muffin.

Go Lean
I have started eating breakfast again. I have to do something. I am not extremely overweight, I look good, but I just have a little body fat that I would like to get rid of. Wait, let me back up. I have a blanket that is protecting my muscles that now the summer is approaching that I need to peel off and put in the closet until winter hits again. Yeah! That it! Did that sound good or what?
Okay, so I started eating this cereal “Go Lean” and it is full of protein, fiber, and low fat. Check out the nutritional info.

Some people put blueberries, strawberries, bananas and other fruit to help. But, I have learned to eat this cereal just plain. I like it.
Since, I have starting eating this cereal, I have been regular lately and I feel so much better. I have energy in the mornings to teach my classes.
I would definitely recommend this cereal to start your day.
Kashi also has oatmeal cereal which I am going to try. Even though the weather is quit warm, I can still eat the warm cereal.
Why don’t you give it a try and do the body some good.
