In honor of the fifth goal on my wedding fitness plan—be smarter about snacking—I decided to attempt making protein bars yesterday. I’m pretty pumped because after messing around with a recipe for a bit, I came up with the perfect combination of ingredients. I whipped up these Chocolate Coconut Protein Bars with the help of…
Strawberry Chocolate Muffins with Greek Yogurt
I’ve been on a muffin kick lately. This is the third week in a row I’ve made them. First, it was my Greek Yogurt Banana Bread in muffin form. Then I made the Banana Bran Muffins I shared recently. Yesterday, I made a new recipe that I’ve been wanting to try for months—muffins filled with strawberries,…
Banana Bran Muffins
Since most of the baked goods I make are dessert (not sorry), I figured it was time to branch out and make something more nutritious. I’m talking muffins today, people—banana bread-inspired, bran-filled muffins. Why bran? Because it’s full of fiber, protein, minerals, and phytonutrients. I think I’m an old person at heart because I really…

Today’s post has been sponsored by GNC PUREDGE As of today, there are only 10 days left until Christmas! If you weren’t already aware, I’m slightly obsessed with this time of year because the festivities and family time that accompany it just make me happy. Another indicator that it’s the holiday season is these couple…
My Favorite Things + Snack Out Loud Review
I feel like I’m constantly learning about crazy, healthy food trends and products that exist. Most recently, I learned of “Crunchy Bean Snack”. After being contacted by Snack Out Loud, I figured I’d try them out to see what it was all about. While at first the idea kind of freaked me out – dried,…
Skinnygirl Nutrition Bars Review & Giveaway {Closed}
The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Skinnygirl. Skinnygirl Snack Swap Campaign Interesting fact: About a quarter of the average American’s daily caloric intake comes from snacking. If you’re like me, you need several snacks throughout the day to tide you over between meals. If you’re trying to be healthy, though,…
Deconstructed Granola Yogurt
Greek yogurt is one of my favorite protein-packed snacks. However, eating it everyday gets quite boring, which is what led me to discovering today’s recipe. I only buy 0%, fat-free Greek yogurt because all the flavored varieties seem to be packed with sugar. Plus, having plain yogurt makes it more versatile, allowing me to cook…
A Bunch of Protein-Packed Snack Ideas
When we first started P90X 2 1/2 months ago, I was determined to keep a clean diet that loosely followed each phase of the program. I usually eat pretty healthy meals, with some bad stuff here and there and everywhere, but something I’ve noticed that has really changed with my diet is snacking. Before, I…
Single Serving Guac
Yesterday was the most productive day ever. I finally unpacked from my trip last week; I cleaned the apartment; I cooked dinner for the next two days; laundry was done; and I even squeezed in about three hours of overtime for work. It was nice to get so much done since Saturday was devoted to birthday…
My Oatmeal Review with a Granola Recipe
I eat oatmeal 98% of the time for breakfast. I’ll occasionally get crazy and have some cereal, but oatmeal is my go-to because it’s so cheap, healthy, and easy to spice up. (Yet…for some reason I eat peanut butter banana oatmeal every single morning. I was telling you on Wednesday how I’m super exciting.) As…
Sweet & Simple Trail Mix Recipe
Today’s recipe is so simple I debated whether to even put it on the blog. Then again, I figured…it’s delicious, so why not? It uses three simple ingredients: In case you people were not aware, these three ingredients were made for each other. I used to make bags of this stuff in college all the time for…
Greek Yogurt Banana Bread
Try this homemade banana bread recipe that uses Greek yogurt to create more of a moist end result with an added boost of protein. I’ve messed with this recipe about four different times, and I’ve finally gotten the result that I wanted—a moist-yet-fluffy loaf of delicious banana bread. Any time I have a big tub…
Bananas Make Me Hungry–The Research Behind It
Workouts Wednesday: Matt and I went for a 4-mile run. It was precious, besides the fact that I felt like I weighed 500 lbs. Last night: Pumped some iron while watching some trashy quality TV. Today: Treadmill-ing it up most likely with my Mix It Up workout. Do you ever feel hungry after eating a…
Tasty Tuesday: Nut & Seed Granola Bars
For today’s workout, I was going to go on the elliptical, but apparently our workout room is locked before 6:30 or 7 am… Instead, I just did a plank workout in our apartment and am about to do my Toned Arms & Shoulders workout. If I feel motivated after work, that’s when I’ll have the chance…
My Favorite CHRISTMAS Things: Part 1
Today, I am on a mission—a mission to not eat my bodyweight in chocolate, Cheerios, and cheese. That’s kind of how my day went yesterday. You see, my friends, I have this issue with snacking. So today I’ve been working on my self control. One big problem I have is eating lunch over the course…
