WHAT? COOKING WITH PRANA PROTEIN

Hi guys!

First, let me apologise and explain myself! I know that I have been soooo inactive both on blog and Instagram, but I'm working so much at the moment since there is some exciting plans for my summer and I need some money! My days start at 1am if I'm writing my assignments or 3am if I'm going to the gym, followed by 8hrs shift from 6am in the morning and 16km of cycling eeeerrry day, so cut me some slack! However, let's get to the main part of this post!

I teamed up with Prana Protein and decided to share some high- protein dessert recipes. If you are like me and love eating healthy, but sometimes the sweetness craving turns on out of nowhere and you start contemplating if it's worth it when you have to restrict yourself - you are in the right place! This happens once a week for me and I wish I knew these two simple recipes before, because now they have saved me! 

1. THE CURD PUDDING

This is the easiest thing in the world.. Mix two eggs, scoop of protein along with the cottage cheese, bake it, top it up with whatever you like and here you go, a dessert that is actually good for you! I eat that with peanut butter (wow, surprise), banana if its' in the morning or if I'm bad enough I open jam, but this rarely happens as this is too sweet for me most of the time!

2. THE PANCAKES

Seriously, one day I just mixed scoop of protein powder with egg and some milk and made the best pancakes ever. Then I realised how good they are in terms of nutrition and made them every day for a week lol. Now I only make them on my day offs when I want to lay in bed and just enjoy food. You will love them!

And the best part is that I tried my best to film a video to show how I make them when I was in Amsterdam, so here is the link to help you out!

Let me know if you want me to recreate regular recipes into high-protein recipes, because I loved doing that!

PEANUT BUTTER MANIA

So, I should probably start with the fact that I'm literally obsessed with peanut butter. It all started last year, when I moved to UK. One of my closest friends that I was living with started eating it with rice cakes and banana. I wasn't that hooked until she started occasionally making one for me and just bringing it to my room while I was studying... Today my motto is "few peanut butter spoons a day keeps the doctor away" haha (Thanks Brigita <3). However, I'm still not as obsessed as my boyfriend who eats the whole jar (and I'm not talking about a small jar..) once he opens it.. Nevertheless, you already understood how much I love peanut butter and you can imagine how happy I was when I found out that my personal trainer included TWO SPOONS OF IT in my meal plan. That's why I decided to share my two healthy ways of eating peanut butter!

APPLES&PEANUT BUTTER

This one is my fave! I can eat one fruit (most of the time I choose green apple) a day, so when I'm home until gym (in the first part of the day, of course), I always skip the spoon of peanut butter with my oatmeal and instead add it to my apple, because this combination is just..what I live for. For me this is better than any cheat meal! Me and Lukas were eating this almost every summer evening for few weeks... One time we "went for a walk" during a storm and "somehow" got back with peanut butter and apples..That's how good this is! 

HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER DESSERT

Okay, so I started eating this one few weeks ago, because my trainer included this in my meal plan as the last meal of the day. So, you mix cottage cheese (varškė for my Lithuanian readers) with low fat/soy/greek yogurt and a spoon of peanut butter. Whenever I feel like I didn't eat enough protein during the day, I just add a spoon of chocolate fudge protein to make it taste even better. You mix it good until it's smooth and believe me, it tastes soo good that you just start waiting for the evening so you could eat it, haha.

I will definitely post more about my other ways of eating peanut butter later on, but for now your task is to go to the nearest shop and buy it instead of any shitty food you usually buy (if you don't, then congrats!). Remember - make good choices with what you put in your mouth, because food is your body's fuel!

FIT&HEALTHY: COFFEETOX

 You have probably seen few of my posts mentioning a company called “Skinny Coffee Club”. They have the most amazing detox coffee ever! Some people love detoxing every few months, some think that it’s just a way to make money, but from my experience, there is a change (I mean, I lost almost 2kg without dieting!!). I have bought detox tea last year and it did exactly the same as this coffee, which means it does help, it’s just a matter of preferences!

WHY WOULD I CHOOSE SKINNY COFFEE CLUB?

You see, this coffee has all sorts of healthy stuff that helps you loose weight and cleanse your body. I have been using few of the ingredients as supplements before, but I kept forgetting to take them (I always do..). Good part, with this coffee you get a blend of everything while enjoying your morning cup!
The most beneficial and healthy ingridients are:

      Spirulina – Spirulina is a fantastic Superfood, rich in protein and micronutrients often used while dieting.

   Chorella –A powerfully detoxifying green algae, that’s great for digestion, clear and smooth skin and a strong immune system!

    Matcha - One serving of matcha tea is the nutritional equivalent of 10 cups of regularly brewed green tea, which gives you a lot of energy for the day.

So, after drinking this coffee for 28 days every single morning I can say that it really does wonders! The effects might differ because it does depend on your eating habits and just like with anything else, results are not going to show overnight and you are not going to wake up with abs in the morning (that is what gym is for). However, don’t worry, they give you a meal plan too, so everything is covered! I personally have the worst bloating problem and also my metabolism is quite slow, but while drinking this coffee I had a bloated tummy maybe three days during that month which is crazy! Now that I am starting my fitness plan, I can’t wait to see even better results!
