Wild Things Nutritional Energy Bars
Fuel Up Right Before Workouts & Outdoor Excursions
If you’re looking for the perfect on-the-go meal/desert treat, these are the best-tasting energy bars on the planet. I created them in my own kitchen, and I sold 5,000 bars as a fundraiser in just 2 months. Now, I’m sharing the recipe with you! Make a batch to store in your freezer for a quick grab when you’re in a rush or are going for a hike, workout, or long drive. This bar will provide you with more than enough fuel for your activities, and it tastes great! Enjoy, but don’t eat too many or have them before going to bed, as all that sugar, even though from more natural, “healthy” sources (granola, dried fruit, brown rice syrup, agave, etc.), will just get stored as fat–something to remember the next time you grab a energy bar at the convenience store. This is just one of the great recipes you’ll learn in the GET IT BACK, 4-Week Fitness System. (more…)
How Protein Pancakes Saved Me
As a child, I always looked forward to the smell on Saturday mornings when dad woke us up for pancakes. I could no longer sleep in as soon as that unmistakable aroma hit my nostrils and my senses kicked in on overdrive. When you become an adult, you often feel like you’re missing out on all the fun. I remember for years I was eating boring lean grilled chicken breasts, tuna in a can, and plain egg whites all the time to ensure I got plenty of protein in to maintain my lean physique. Several years ago, I got tired of eating bland food and wanted to add some spice in my life, especially in the kitchen. So I began concocting some different, healthier versions of recipes to stimulate my taste buds and satisfy my occasional (actually frequent) very strong urges for sugar and processed “comfort” foods.
If you look at the basic ingredients for pancakes: white flour and syrup, and if you enjoy a glass of OJ, too, we’re talking A LOT of sugar! This just means added weight and a huge crash (and nap) after breakfast. But, you might be excited to learn, it doesn’t have to be that way. You CAN actually get in shape by eating pancakes! WHAT? Yep, that’s right. It’s like a dream come true!
