The Pursuit of Running

#lunch today was my first attempt at a gluten-free savory Wafflewich. It was delicious, but the recipe isn’t perfect and definitely needs a second go, so I won’t be sharing it just yet! The waffles had great flavor, but because I used coconut flour they were too fluffy. They stuck to the pan a bit and came apart slightly, so I waited for them to cool before carefully peeling them from the waffle iron, then I threw them in the toaster which saved them, I think. My Wafflewich had tuna mixed with chopped onion, 1tbsp Greek yogurt, nooch, sriracha sauce and walden farms honey Dijon dressing. It wasn’t a total fail, I finally ate a sandwich for lunch, I’ve been craving one forever! It held up for the most part, and it’s high fiber, low cal and low carb with a nice dose of protein! Can’t wait to share the final product with you, hopefully with attempt #2!! :) #healthy healthyfood #eatclean #protein #wafflewich #waffles #yum #lowcarb #kitchenfun #glutenfree #fitfood #healthified #yum #foodporn #foodpals #eat (Taken with Instagram)

Blueberry Protein Puff Pancake topped with Greek Yogurt, berries, half a banana, PBU and sunbutter drizzle!Unintentional WIN this morning! Didn’t plan breakfast, but saw a super easy protein pancake recipe from @getfit_feelsexy. I wanted a puffy pancake, though, so I adjusted the recipe and created this GIANT puff pancake! I’ll make a post for the blog later, but here’s the recipe now bc I know I’ll get asked lol 3/4 cup egg whites, 1 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1/2 scoop protein powder, 1 tbsp coconut flour, cinnamon/stevia/vanilla/baking powder whisked together and cooked, covered, in a small pan on med heat. When it’s almost ready to flip, add blueberries, cover and cook for a min, then flip! it was delicious!!! I’m off to run and go to bodypump, all fueled :) #breakfast #healthy #healthyeats #food #foodporn #pancake #proteinpancake #foodpals #glutenfree #lowcarb #sugarfree #fitfood #fuel #eat #yum #instafood (Taken with Instagram)

Breakfast teaser: Pumpkin Pie Protein Wafflewich. I did some tweaking to the original Wafflewich recipe in part 2 of the Wafflewich series happening on the blog. I’m kind of on a waffle kick right now, there may be a Wafflewich for every day of the week and not just for breakfast. Stay tuned! I’m off to the gym for now, TRX time! #breakfast #healthy #eatclean #wafflewich #waffles #healthyfood #food #instafood #protein #pumpkin#pumpkinpie #foodpals #fitfood #fitness #yum #dessert #wafflewichseries #cleaneating #glutenfree #wheatfree #superfoods (Taken with Instagram)

The Creamiest, Doughiest, Stick to Your Ribs Oats I’ve ever eaten!! I didn’t know what I wanted this morning, just had a slight idea and prepped a filling last night. This morning I just wasn’t feeling the plan or anything extraordinary. I wanted just an easy, plain Jane breakfast and much like last night’s chili, this on the fly lazy one pot wonder ended up being AMAZING! In a pot went 1/3c GF oats with 1c water and a dash of salt. Then I beat egg whites with a fork and stirred them into my oats along with vanilla, vanilla stevia, cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. Then came the experiment: 1 tbsp macs powder. Stirred that in and my oats got even creamier and thicker, doughy even (can we say cookie dough oats?!?). Then instead of putting fruit on top, I dumped sliced strawberries and blueberries into the bottom of my bowl, poured the oats over and then wet nuts with toppings: microwaved cherries, millet puffs, rice puffs, Mesa sunrise flakes, blueberries and a dollop of maple cinnamon almond butter. No special prep, flavor or recipe, just a random mishmash of stuff that worked deliciously together. Now go make some oats and make them your own, you won’t be disappointed! :) #healthy #oats #maca #food #instafood #foodporn #healthyeats #eatclean #glutenfree #eggwhiteoats #yum #berries #almondbutter #fitood #healthy #creamy #delicious #fun #cereal #breakfast #foodpals (Taken with Instagram)

Wafflewich! Protein waffles that didn’t stick to the waffle maker for once! I went a little trigger happy, lots of food porn along with the recipe to come, battery is dying but just had to share before it did bc this was AMAZING I had to restrain myself from going cookie monster on it and slow down to enjoy it. #breakfast #healthy #eatclean #food #foodpals #instafood #waffles #proteinwaffle #instayum #foodporn #glutenfree #healthyeats #fitfood #fitness #sweettooth #wafflewich #eat #enjoy (Taken with Instagram)

Cookie Dough Overnight Oats with a Cookie Dough Crumble topping! This morning’s breakfast was probably my favorite overnight oat parfait variation ever, such a treat! Last night I prepped my oats: 1/3c oats mixed with vanilla stevia, cinnamon and 2/3c to 1c of water, microwaved for a few mins, stir, do it again until most of the liquid is gone, then I add my flavorings. In went some vanilla, more vanilla stevia, chia seed and the secret ingredient for cookie dough oats: a tiny splash of banana extract! Usually mashed banana gives that cookie flavor, but I didn’t want the sugar/carbs of banana when I didn’t need them since it’s a rest day for me. I took a gamble, added banana extract and the results were even better than what I imagined. It just adds that extra oomph, almost the buttery kind of sweetness of raw cookie dough. Then I added 1 tbsp chia seed and 1/3 to 1/2 c almond milk, in the fridge overnight. In the morning, I mixed a serving of Greek yogurt with vanilla stevia, vanilla extract and cacao nibs, then got to layering! For the cookie dough crumble: 1 tbsp coconut flower, vanilla stevia, almond milk. I didn’t measure I just kept adding milk until it made little crumbles, then threw in cacao nibs and then a few dark chocolate chips on top. The coconut flour cookie dough crumble is so good I’d honestly my it up and just eat it straight with a spoon. Im actually really glad I decided to give that a shot this morning bc I crave cookie dough all the time and this stuff tastes amazing, totally hit the spot!!!! So that’s it, if you give this guy a go tag me I’d love to see how you make yours!! :) #breakfast #cookiedough #parfait #oats #healthy #eatclean #healthyeats #instafood #foodporn #food #overnightoats #chocolate #cacao #chia #glutenfree #greekyogurt #sweettooth #yum #healthytreat #cookies #foodpals #cleaneating #fitfood #delicious (Taken with Instagram)

Pumpkin pie sandwiched between two chocolatey cakes that’s full of protein, gluten free, high protein and even paleo approved?!? Yup! For the cakes: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, cinnamon, 1/4 tsp baking powder, stevia, 3 tbsp pumpkin, 1/2c egg whites whisked and baked at 375 in 2 mini round pans. For the filling: this is to be prepped the night before. 1/4 c pumpkin, 1 tbsp chia seed, 1/4 tsp blackstrap molasses, pumpkin pie spice, 1/2c almond milk (will reduce to 1/4 next time though, filling wasnt as firm as I wanted), cinnamon, stevia, couple of raisins. Let sit in fridge overnight. Assemble in the morning, top with sunbutter drizzle and cinnamon and feast! About 380 calories, 35g carbs, 43g protein. Not too shabby! :) #breakfast #cake #brownie #chocolate #healthy #eatclean #glutenfree #protein #paleo #healthyeats #eat #instafood #food #foodpals #foodporn #fitfood #healthyswaps #instahealth #dessert #yum #sweettooth #recipe #healthybreakfast #pumpkinpie #chia #cake (Taken with Instagram)
