Freaking Delicious

I only need two words to describe this morning's breakfast: freaking delicious.


Dark chocolate-peanut-butter-banana chia pudding. It was every bit as decadent as you'd expect the non-chia version to be!


In the jar:
 - 1 c almond milk
 - 3 T chia seeds
 - 1 T Hershey's special dark cocoa powder
 - 1 serving Trader Joe's peanut flour
 - thinly sliced banana
 - sweetener, to taste

I mixed it all up last night, then left it in the fridge to gel overnight. The result was a rich, mousse-like dessert packed with healthy fats and protein.


So good, I used a spatula to lick the jar clean!

This breakfast came after a 45 minute spin class this morning. Like last week, the instructor really focused on a lot of sprints, which had me dripping sweat. I really feel like spinning is the most effective workout for me- for some reason it's way easier for me to push my limits on the bike than while running, weight training or ellipticizing. 

The downside to this morning's class was the secret stinker sitting somewhere near by. I was in the corner of the room with a wall on two sides of me, but that didn't stop a very....flatulent odor from wafting near me every few minutes. Peeyoo! Seems like one of my classmates had beans for dinner last night. It's hard to breathe through only you're mouth when you're exercising, that's for sure!

Only 49 days till graduation! Have a wonderful Tuesday, everyone!
