Fitness comes in many different forms. Whether you're drawn to the power of weight lifting, the freedom of running, the intensity of boxing, or the serenity of swimming, there's a sport out there with your name on it.
If you've ever doubted your ability to find joy in physical exercise, it's time to think again! The key to embracing the challenge lies in discovering YOUR sport-the one that ignites your passion and brings out your best self.
For me, long-distance running has my heart, but I also find immense satisfaction in strength training. Why? Because I know it helps me perform at my peak when I hit the pavement.
However, it's essential to remember that fitness isn't just about the activity itself. Rest and refueling play a crucial role in supporting your performance. And, that’s why I’m sharing my homemade protein muffins packed with whole grains, chocolate, and (shock) protein:
*HOMEMADE MUFFIN RECIPE:*
- 1.5 cups sprouted oats
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- Sprinkle of salt
- 2 eggs + 2 egg whites
- Dark chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup water or nut milk of choice
*DIRECTIONS:*
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a blender, combine oats, baking powder, baking soda, protein powder, cacao powder, salt, eggs/egg whites, and water/milk. Blend until smooth.
3. Line a muffin pan with liners and fill each about 3/4 full. Tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
4. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the batter.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Let cool and enjoy!
