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!

TOP / BRA / PANTS / NIKES

I am highly obsessed with these nikes, and alo pants!  I wear them on the daily, not just work out in!  The nikes come in many different colors, and I am really surprised I haven’t bought another pair of them.

So CARDIO.  I wanted to talk more with you about that.  I get a lot of questions about if I do extra cardio ON TOP of the LOVE HIIT BODY GUIDE.  And I absolutely do!  Especially if I am wanting to really lean out (hence kini season soon!!) haha but no I really do it because it makes me feel SO good.  

If I don’t have the time, I won’t but I will do 15-20 extra minutes of intervals either running or on the stair master, which I am a HUGE Fan of the stair master.  I am really trying to get my flat ass to grow, so that needs to happen haha.  

Anyways, you don’t have to run on the treadmill for a year… in fact if you’re looking to really get shape in your body, doing weights is going to be the absolute best.  Which is why I made the HIIT guide because you’re combining both, plus building your heart rate up and back down constantly, so you’re burning more calories and building muscle.  You will never hit a plateau, and you can repeat the entire LOVE HIIT BG program over and over again, which is what I do!

I do the extra cardio honestly because I LOVE IT.  I like to sweat my balls off haha.  I love the way it makes me feel.  I am not trying to lose weight or any of that.  It makes  me feel so good and it actually makes it so I am more inspired and creative.  You gotta find what is going to help get those creative juices flowing and intervals and my HIIT guide do just that for me..  give it a try!  

And honestly I can eat more if I do haha and that is a HUGE bonus in itself.

If you’re looking to tone up and lose weight, my body guide alone will totally help you.  you don’t need to add on anything else, unless you really want to!  I explain more of  “extra mile cardio” in my book!

Have a great day!  Going to go play with Oaks now 🙂
