I wanted to share some recipes today that I have come across this past week. This one is from my girlfriend (in picture) and new gym buddy Ashley aka the author of Kuffler Says - Finding the Me I Need to Know. Say "HI SMASH!"
Like I mentioned before, Ashley is on her own journey of weightloss and has looked to me her "Inspy" to help. I feel so blessed. She is also making me get to the gym at 8:15 tomorrow MORNING. Whoo!
This is Ashley's Chocolate Avocado Pudding,
more commonly referred to as "Get in my Belly!"
1 ripe avocado1/4 cup cocoa powder1/4 cup honey/agave nectar - whatever1/4 cup almond milk (I used natural unsweetened, but do as you wish - But I bet coconut milk would be AMAZING)1 tsp vanilla extract
Blend it up Blend it up Blend it up! Throw it in the fridge for a few hours and serve with a a dollop of greek yogurt, fresh berries, cinnamon, chopped nuts, coconut, etc etc etc...
1/3 of a pineapple
2 green apples
handful of mint (to taste)
VOILA!
Finally, some Chocolate Bliss Balls. I have been in love with dates since visiting Shields in California (outside of Palm Springs). In fact, I had my snowbird parents bring me home some this year. I have yet to try these, but I am sure they will be equally as delicious as my almond balls. MMMMMMM!
2 tbsp of raw honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 dates (pitted and soaked for at least 4 hours)
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
1 cup of shredded coconut for coating
Place all the ingredients except for the coconut in a mixer and blend until smooth. With your hands roll the mixture into small balls. Then pour the shredded coconut onto a chopping board and roll the balls in it to top. Place the balls on a plate and refrigerate until hard.
Tomorrow is weigh in day! Eeeeeek. Sorry I haven't kept you posted on my Friday weigh ins. You are in for a big surprise! I hope. :)
