I recently took a trip to Canada and while I was there a dear friend introduced me to Tim Horton's and their Iced Cappuccino. I'm not sure if I should thank her or not, because I quickly became addicted. :lol: Thanks a lot Clare!! :razz: Now anyone that knows me should know that I HATE to 'drink' my calories. I mean, sure I like my protein shakes, but I am not about to waste calories on a regular soda. So even taking out the cream, this little heaven in a cup is still 250 calories and about 60 carbs, all being sugar. :shock: I knew that my heaven in a cup would not be around in my diet for long. :sad:... read more 2 comments

Just a quick blog post this morning. As I was getting ready to make breakfast for the kids, I decided instead of just whipping up their pancakes, I would weigh out what amounts I use and post it up. I make this one often, so I usually just 'eyeball' the amounts. Here is what I used this morning: Pumpkin Pancakes 3 egg whites 15 g vanilla protein powder (1/2 scoop) 30 g old fashion oats 60 g (1/4 cup) canned pumpkin 2-3 g sugar-free fat free cheesecake pudding mix dash of cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice splenda or stevia to taste (optional) This makes 5 pancakes, and even my kids will eat them!!

I just realized this morning that I had not posted this recipe here! I have it posted over on www.leanbodiesfitness.com but thought I would share it on my blog as well. This is probably one of my favorite post workout treats. Especially in the summer! Oreo Wannabe Blizzard 1 scoop of Champion Cookies and Creme (PVL is good too) 3 oz cup skim milk (34 cal / 0 fat / 4.7 carbs/ 3.3 protein) water for the other 5-7 oz Blend with ice stir in 1/2 bag of 100 calorie "oreo crisps" (I usually break them up into pieces) Freeze it while you go work out.
