Ommmggggggg…. I don’t even have words. Bake your quest bars people. Just do it. #nofilter #questbar #fuel #postworkout #eat #eatclean #healthy #protein#instafit #food#eatclean #eat#applepie had an awesome time at the gym this morning, hit up bodypump, then a super fun spin class with @gaspare86 - LOVED spinning with you today!!! We MUST do a torture Tuesday spin class with Karen together, she’s my favourite! :D

9.63 miles in the bank for today, time for a protein waffle topped with Greek yogurt, half a banana and strawberries, with a drizzle of almond butter. So so good. Recipe from pure2raw for the waffle. Used Vega One Vanilla = heaven. #protein #waffle #run #runner #intarun #instafood #instafit #recover #fuel #breakfast #lunch #postworkout #glutenfree #healthy #healthyfood #eat #yum

#postworkout #refuel #fitfood #protein #pancake #kabocha #vega #chocolate #glutenfree #lunch #yum switching it up today, had a tofu salad for breakfast so of course I had to compensate by having breakfast for lunch!! Protein Pancakes made with Chocolate Vega Sport Protein and topped with PB thinned out with almond milk (no recipe, just threw things together). Roasted kabocha filled with Greek yogurt chia frosting and topped with some corn puffs for fun. Soooo goooood. I’m OBSESSED with kabocha!!!! I want to just eat it all day. #fitness #fuel #postrun #healthy #eatclean #yum

#postrun #feast#refuel#replenish#recover#lunch#yum#squash#chocolate#postworkout#longrun Made myself some kick ass concoctions after my run! Roasted butternut squash filled with Vanilla Protein Frosting topped with cinnamon. A healthy, gluten/grain free, high protein chocolate cake topped with protein frosting (recipe will be posted on the blog later) and a bowl of broccoli. #strangebutgood combo. Need to address this cake before Anything else: if you have ever craved chocolate cake, like authentic, just bought this from the store, fudgey, moist, rich cake I’m pumped to tell you that this random combo of simple ingredients I threw together created just that, only with a protein antioxidant punch, sugar-free, grain-free, even paleo friendly!!! I’m so amazed at how it turned out. Stay tuned for the recipe on the blog with a run recap later on. #cake #healthycake #paleo #grainfree #glutenfree #protein #instafood #fitness

#lunch #postworkout #nofilter #pizza #glutenfree #grainfree #protein #fuel #veggies my lunch from earlier today. I had a hankering for pizza, adapted the @powercakes pizza and based my own recipe off of hers, since there were some things I didn’t have/want to use. Not sharing the recipe yet because I think I may have tapped into something here for a high protein, low carb but crusty crust with a few tweaks. The edge was like typical pizza crust, but the centre was softer and I think I know just the adjustments I need to make to fix that. Looks like I’m just going to have to eat more pizza!! When I perfect it, ill blog it. Recipes and posts are coming, I have SO much to share!!! Thank goodness it’s study break week next week :) #healthy #eatclean #eat #lowcarb #instafood #foodporn

#postworkout #lunch #deliciousness coconut curry tempeh bacon, kabocha squash, mountain of veggies = heaven. 9:30am bodypump followed by 15mins elliptical, and a 3.1 mile progressive run and stretching. Felt so good, mind is cleared, worry/stress peaceful out and I’m ready to take on all this studying/researching/essaying/school stuff. AFTER I nap :) #vegan #refuel #recover #fitness #runner #bodypump #lunch #eatclean #healthy #healthyfood #thrive #carbitup

Cherry Almond Cheesecake Overnight Oats In an Almond Butter Jar = best post workout meal ever!!!! 1/3 c oats cooked in water last night, then mixed with cottage cheese, chia seed, cherries, stevia, almond and vanilla extracts and left in the fridge overnight. Did hill HIITs on the bike followed by bodypump class, then came home and b-lined it for the oats, topped with a dollop of goat yogurt, more cherries and slivered almonds. Hit the spot! #oats #postworkout #protein #fitfood #overnightoats #almondbutter #cherries #sweettooth #fitfood #eat #eatclean #instafood #foodpals #food #cheesecake #delicious #chia #glutenfree #fitness #nutritious (Taken with Instagram)

What do you do when you can’t get to your favorite post-workout microwave protein muffin recipe and are hungry for one after a mish mash leg day at the gym? You come up with one yourself! Keeping my favorite protein muffins from @lasmoothiegirl and @powercakes , I whisked together 1/2c egg whites, 2 tbsp pumpkin, 1 tbsp almond flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, a pinch of baking soda, caramel stevia, vanilla and a whole lot of cinnamon. Microwaved for 5 minutes and topped with a blob of cashew butter, this beautiful little cake was nothing short of delicious! So moist, not really eggy either like these things can be, and it didn’t deflate too much. A few tweaks and flavor options and this could be a real winner :) hooray! #muffin #protein #paleo #postworkout #fitness #fitfood #healthy #eatclean #healthyeats #paleo #healthyfoodie #food #instafood #foodporn #yum #eat #sweettooth (Taken with Instagram)
