Summer bodies are made in the Winter. Get out and go for a run! Your body will thank you.

Recipe: Vegan French Toast

Vegan French Toast

I was craving french toast for lunch the other day so I went online in search of vegan french toast recipes. Many of the recipes required ingredients that I had never heard of or I didn’t have on hand (such as nutritional yeast and chickpea flour) but I found one that is not only easy but delicious! It only requires bananas, soy milk and some other basic ingredients that I had in my kitchen.

Below is the recipe. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 ripe bananas
  • 3/4 cup organic soy milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Gluten free bread – about 6 slices (I used Uudi’s from Trader Joe’s but any kind of thick sliced bread will do)
  • Organic maple syrup
  • Fresh organic berries of any kind (I prefer blueberries)

Instructions:

  1. Blend together bananas, soy milk, cinnamon and vanilla in a blender or food processor.
  2. Pour the mixture into a shallow container such as a pie plate.
  3. Place the bread into the mixture and let it soak for a minute or so and spoon the mixture to coat the other side.
  4. Fry the bread in a medium hot skillet until the slices are golden brown, then flip to cook the other side.
  5. Serve with sliced bananas, fresh blueberries and maple syrup.

Abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym. “Diet” is a huge factor in losing those extra pounds, so put down the processed food and reach for raw fruits and veggies.

There is no substitute.

Log off. Shut down. Go workout!

Wednesday Motivation - Get Off Your Butt and Move

You’ve had a long day at work. Your legs are sore from yesterday’s workout. It’s raining outside. It’s cold outside. It’s hot outside. The drive is too far. You don’t have time. Your alarm didn’t go off.

These are excuses made by ordinary people. You are not ordinary. You are not a quitter. You are not the person you may have been in the past. You are an unyielding competitor. You will succeed. You will undeniably rise above it.

No excuses.

Sweat like a pig to look like a fox. Amen to that!

Have to put in the hard work in order to see the results. Keep pushing yourself each day!

The only way to see results is to stay consistent.

I try not to go longer than two days without a run or a workout.

Why I Run

Why I Run

I’ve been a runner for years and it’s like meditation for me. It helps to clear my head and I feel great afterwards. It helps me to sleep better and makes my legs strong and shapely.

A runner forever…

Keep it Consistent

Keep it Consistent

The key to seeing results from working out and eating right is consistency.

Just like one “bad” meal isn’t going to make you fat…one “good” meal will not make you skinny.
