Hi Everyone! Happy Tuesday!
Wow, have I been a lazy one today. I didn’t even make it to the gym this a.m. so this means I will have to tack on another 20 minute cardio session to my workout tomorrow. Normally I wouldn’t worry about it, but today has been a day full of carbs. ;)
I had my morning bowl of fruit sprinkled with Alfalfa Powder and Flax Seeds.
Then I was craving “substance” like pancakes! It just so happened I just finished reading the blog post on the Perfect Protein Pancakes on Fitnessista.com, so I took the recipe and made them sans eggs.
You can find the recipe here - all I did was used a flax egg in replacement of the egg along with 1/2 banana mashed. And a tad more almond milk.
My pancakes turned out green! I used my vanilla chai flavour Vega protein powder which has a light green hue to it…..
It did look like a Dr. Seuss breakfast, but they were very tasty and hearty 
Ryan had some after he worked out and loved them! There a keeper.
After my carb feast I had some Energizing Lemonade! This juice really gets your blood flowing, I just love it!
Later in the day I had my usual salad (surprise, surprise…) and then decided to make some of Averie’s No-Bake Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls!
You can find the original recipe here! I used my Vanilla Chai Vega Protein powder (Yes, these balls were green too!) instead of Coconut Flour and used Almond Butter instead of Peanut Butter! YUMMM these are totally curing my cravings today!
Tasty small snacks like this are great to have in the fridge for days like today.
Well I should really get myself off of my couch and clean this place! I may actually feel like tackling that treadmill after? The best way to get out of a lazy day is to do something! Take some deep breaths and go through your mental list of what you are grateful for today!
*** I am getting lots of emails lately asking me questions! I thought it would be fun to answer some questions live on the blog! If you have any questions for me, please email me at iheartwellness@gmail.com
What is your favourite “comfort” food when you are needing to feel comfy?? What do you love eating on your lazy days?

Nothing wrong with a green breakfast! I think my comfort food just has to be pizza, plain and simple

Pancakes are definately a comfort food I love after a long day at work for dinner! Breakfast for dinner in general is always comforting to me

LOVE that you made the balls…and it’s too cute that you used green powder in them
you cant really tell from the pic that they’re green or anything but that’s funny..haha!
and what you wrote to me about women losing things if they do too much cardio. i agree! It’s not really possible to be that way if you burn it all off
yeah, i hear ya girl!

Wow! That was a handful of greens! And those powder look amazing.
Never seen it before around here!
And your AB balls look yum!! I love ‘em too! (Btw, how do you get the surface all smooth? Do you have/did you use a Vita-mix?) When I make it, it doesn’t do that (because I use a food processor.) Any tips?

What awesome eats! I love those cookie dough balls from Averie..they are made a lot in my kitchie:) I agree that when you really don’t want to do something..once you start doing that thing its all down hill after that:)
Comfort food would be anything with chocolate..or even my own homemade coconut oil chocolate:) I also love medjool date!
