For your sweet tooth!

So you're eating right and feeling great but you still need to satisfy your sweet tooth, right? Of course, we all do! And without treats here and there, you could fall right off that healthy food wagon! But treats don't have to be unhealthy! Try this protein packed vegan ice cream and do good from POPSUGAR Fitness and satisfy those cravings while still being healthy and satisfied! Protein-Packed Vegan Ice Cream NOTES This recipe makes two servings, so if you have no one to share it with, freeze the second half in a reusable glass container. Then be sure to place it in the fridge before you head out for your long workout, so when you come home, it'll be thawed enough to enjoy. If it's still too hard, pop it in the microwave for 8-10 seconds. INGREDIENTS 2 frozen bananas 1/2 cup frozen strawberries 2 tablespoons unsweetened soy milk 1 scoop vanilla plant-based protein powder (I love Vega Sport Performance Protein) 1 tablespoon raw almonds, chopped DIRECTIONS Add the frozen bananas, strawberries, and soy milk to a blender, and puree until completely smooth. (This may take a few minutes to allow the frozen fruit to soften.) Add the protein powder, and puree another minute or so. Scoop out half the ice cream, top with half the chopped almonds, and enjoy! 204 calories a serving 15g protein Makes 2 servings

Start, Stop AND Begin again...

Happy New Year B-Fitters! Have you gotten your New Year's resolutions in motion to be the best you can be? Listen up! Your best means your heart, your soul, your body's rhythms are all in sync. So how do you make all this happen this year? One day at a time....start small and your big goal won't seem so out of reach. AND as we are always preaching here at B-FIT4u, COSISTENCY is key! You must do something good for yourself EVERYDAY in order to make a difference in your overall health. Sound daunting? Not really if you break it down like this....15 minutes everyday do a form of exercise. See no one is asking you to climb mountains! And this is the thing, you may eventually work up to climbing mountains, but for now slow and steady equals consistency to make the much needed change you're looking for. Up your cardio for heart health (of course always consult a doctor before beginning any new exercise) or bring out those weights or use your own body to strengthen and tone! Food wise, bring more vegetables into your diet to aid in digestion and energy to stay focused on your goals. This is the year you choose yourself over "busy". Don't tell me you don't have 15 minutes? Ya dig? You got this B-Fitters~Go get it!
