Doing a 12 week fitness challenge and a Whole30! My Pre Workout Smoothie recipe!

Had a great day and lots of energy thanks to my workout today 😀

I’m starting off the new year working out. I have been going regularly for the past 2 month and I am really happy about that. Robin Dorvil https://www.facebook.com/robins.dorvil?fref=ts or dmotiv8or on instagram is doing the Dmotiv8orChallenge. It is a 12 week challenge starting on monday the 6th. Here is the official challenge https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152101887560817&set=a.10150095001085817.271881.672615816&type=1&theater    You have 7 days to get ready mentally. Lets gooooo people, lets get fit!

I will also do a Whole30 along side with it. I’m really excited. http://www.whole9life.com/2013/08/the-whole30-program/ I have done it twice this year it was great, I have been eating a lot of foods I shouldn’t have lately. Especially now during the holidays and I feel the side effects it is having on me. So I am starting off the new year kicking butt. There is a lot of great Whole30 recipies out there, you can google them. I will be posting as much as possible.

Before my workout this moring I had a mmmm yummy smoothie. It is really important to eat before woking out to fuel the body with nutrients. I tend to choose a smoothie in the mornings because you only need 45 min to 1 hour to digest. It is always better to eat a full breakfast. However you need about 2 hours to digest before working out.

Pre Workout Nutty Chocolate Smootihe 😀

Recipe:

• 1 banana
• 1 cup creemy coconut milk
• 2 tbsp raw cacao
• 1 tsp cacao nibs
• 1 tbsp almond butter

For my post work out/ lunch and dinner I had x-mas left overs ‘mix in a pan’ or pytt i panna like we call it in sweden. I had potato, sweet potato, brussel sprouts, sausage, meatballs, kale and some seasonings. It was yummy and I got really full 🙂

Its really late now and I’m falling asleep waiting for my friend to skype me from LA zzzzzzz. Well good night.

Chocolate Heaven!!!!!!

I was really craving chocolate tonight so I just made this delicious chocolate mousse. Yummy indeed. It’s great to create something so delicious and decadent and not feel guilty or heavy after eating it. Oh my 😀

Why is this an healthy option? Well let me share some great information!

Coconut milk – Coconut contains potassium, electrolytes, iron, sodium, magnesium, zinc and chloride, all of which help to keep the body hydrated and properly functioning.

Carob – helps to regulate the digestion process, while serving as a natural anti-allergic, antiseptic, and anti-bacterial agent. It contains tannins that are rich in gallic acid, which give it its beneficial effects. Additionally, carob provides powerful anti-viral benefits that supply the body with essential antioxidants. contains fiber that naturally helps to regulate blood sugar levels.

Cacao – All raw forms of cacao are filled with iron, dietary fiber, calcium, zinc, potassium and antioxidants. Raw cacao is a rich source of antioxidant flavonoids that promote cardiovascular health and protect against toxins. The antioxidant flavonoids in raw cacao can help improve circulation, regular heartbeat and blood pressure. Additionally, they help the body repair itself and resist free-radical toxins. Raw cacao is most known for being a superfood that is a rich source of antioxidants, but it is also filled with a number of other beneficial nutrients. As a rich source of manganese, raw cacao helps oxygenate the blood. Raw cacao is also a rich source of magnesium, which helps in balancing brain chemistry. It is also rich in sulfur, which builds strong nails and hair, and promotes beautiful skin.

Dates – relief from constipation, intestinal disorders, heart problems, anemia. These delicious fruits contain oil, calcium, sulfur, iron, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, copper and magnesium which are all beneficial for health.
