I was testing out a way I could make something delicious and with chocolate, so these protein cakes are simply amazing!  You will be so surprised how good they’re and most importantly you will feel guilt free.   They are packed with protein.  

So just look at it this way, you are basically making your own clean protein bar from home.  No added sugars!

Makes 3.

1/2 cup Almond Flour

1 cup Almond Milk 

1 tbsp Cocoa Powder

1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder

2 drops Coconut Stevia

1 Ounce Dark Chocolate Discs

3 Cupcake Cups

Coconut oil spray or Light Olive Oil Spray

Optional: 1 Tbsp Coconut shreds

 

  • Mix all ingredients together.  If you need to add more almond milk for consistency, then you can.  Should be creamy.  
  • Spray each cup with oil, then pour mix into each cup evenly.  Place in freezer for a couple minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in microwave or stove top until creamy.  
  • Take the protein cakes out, and pour 1/2 tbsp onto each protein cake. (Optional: sprinkle coconut shreds on each cake)
  • Place the cakes back into the freezer for 10-15 mins.  

 

They should be a little hard, if you want to eat them like a bar of chocolate, then peel back the cup and enjoy! 

If you want to eat them a little softer, place in the fridge for a 3-5 minutes before eating.  Will be slightly sticky, so you can eat with a fork if you would like.  

SO good!

I recently asked what are some of your struggles with your fitness and health journey, on my instagram.  I am going to be covering those topics within the next week!

I am going to start with “How do I keep motivated?” I got this question a couple times, along with feeling to tired to work out.

 

Okay so there are things that can keep you motivated,  you just have to find those things that keep YOU motivated.  I am constantly having to keep things interesting, or else I do get bored.

I will share some ideas for you, that keep me motivated to give you ideas.

  1. Cute work out clothes.. I know but this really does work.  That or some cute nikes. LOVE THESE, and my favorite pants EVER are THESE.
  2. Bikini Season is around the corner.  So that is a huge motivator for me.
  3. I constantly remind myself how good I feel after a good sweat session!  
  4. I have more energy and I am in a much better mood throughout the day, if I start if off right!
  5. Stay eating healthy, and you will want to get moving everyday!  My Meal Plan will help give you tons of healthy recipes!  
  6.  The harder you work, the more results you’re going to end up seeing so I always keep that in my mind!
  7.  Guys I LOVE my LOVE HIIT BG because I NEVER hit a plateau.  It is constantly keeping me on my toes haha.  I continue to see improvement every month that I do it!  I have been doing it for a year now!  Read about it by clicking that link.
  8.  Hold yourself accountable with your goals by sharing them with say, your husband or a family member or friend.   Check in with them weekly and tell them you want their help!
  9.  Do it for someone!  For example, I want to look good for my husband and I always want to keep him on his toes haha.   Lets be honest, men are visual.  I want him to stay attracted to me always and want to be sexy for him.  Not that he is just attracted to the only fit Sara haha, but I like to keep things spicy.
  10.  Lastly, take progress photos!  Get in a the same swim suite every week, or bra and underwear, in good lighting and take a photo of your progress.  This totally is such a motivator!  You will be amazed at the difference you see by doing this!   Sometimes we become blinded by our progress because we look at ourselves everyday, so try this out!

What are some things you guys do to stay motivated?  

Have a great day!
