Spinach Waffles

 

Its been a lazy Sunday around here, yummy waffles, short workout, family time and LOTS of football.

The highlight of the day was definitely  green.

I followed my recipe from the best waffles ever and just added 2 cups of spinach!

High Protein Spinach Waffles

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Oat Flour
• 1 cup Old Fashioned Oats
• 2 Scoops of Vanilla Whey Elite Protein (Any vanilla protein would work probably)
• 1/4C Vanilla Greek Yogurt (I used Chobani)
• 1/2C Fat Free Cottage Cheese
• 1 C. Unsweetened Almond Milk
• 1 egg
• 1 egg white
• 1/2  tsp salt
• 2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 cap full (1/2 tsp?)  of Vanilla Extract
• 2 Cups Spinach

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in blender until well combined.

Spray waffle iron and pour batter into hot waffle iron until done.

I topped mine with PB2 and strawberries!

Perfect start to any day!

Don’t let the spinach throw you off. Its just like throwing it in the shake, you can’t taste it! You just get the benefits!

The kids thought they were fun to eat and had no idea they were eating their daily greens.

Waffle tip! Freeze your leftovers and toast them later! That’s actually my favorite way to eat them!

Hope you guys had a great day!

Tabata Climb

Last night was amazing!! We headed to Capitol theater with Brents side of the family for an 8 pm curtain call to see Wicked! Brents dad bought us these tickets last year. I have been anticipating this night ever since! Wicked has always been a musical I have been wanting to go to since I was in high school!

What a group!

Warning: All pics from Iphone.. I brought my SLR but NOT the sim card! #fail

It was such a fun musical! It was our first time seeing Wicked and we both really enjoyed it. I really was a fan of Gaaalinda!
Workout:
This morning, after a late night I slept as much as possible before getting up to teach Body Pump.
After class I tackled the GPP workout and completed this Sprint workout.

I used my gym boss interval timer for the tabatas. It is a FREE APP!
This is the same one I did yesterday. If you are wanting to absolutely drip “liquid awesome” This is a great workout for you.
I did 100 timed sit-ups before stretching. Phew. I really started to slow down after about 60. I would like to sub 2 100 sit-ups again. I will have to try again when I’m not exhausted…

After every run/workout I am going to be spending a little extra time stretching and rolling.

So today I spent a good 15 minutes stretching and rolling afterwards. I have a foam roller at home but the chances of me taking time once I get home is little to none, especially with the twinners who also like to roll at the same time as mommy. My IT bands are tiiiiiiiiight, I can feel huge knots on each side.. eek. Stretching and rolling is so important to your training to help prevent injury and that is something I need to be better at. I am done with injuries this year, so you know I’m going to do all I can to prevent anymore!
I made a quick trip home to get some protein in my system. Before heading to the zoo for the day!

Green Beast Please!
In the mix:
