Fitness Friday #4: Snack

      Whether your a meat eater, vegetarian or just on the path to eating healthier this quick snack is perfect for anyone! Instead of going for the bag of chips or the ice cream in the freezer, I opted for a bagel with hummus and avacado. 

Their are so many benefits from avacados besides tasting great and being the best source for vitamin E (protects against disease) it also helps lower cholesterol and aids in weight control. 

I toasted the bagels and then used the hummus as a spread. If you dont like hummus you can substitue it with cream cheese and use half and avacado cut into fours.  Top it off with some black pepper and your snack is ready to eat.

You can always use the other half of the avacado to make a hair mask for healthy and moisturized hair, just add some greek yogurt, coconut oil and an egg with it.  Apply it to damp hair and place a plastic cap over your hair for about 15-20mins. Shampoo and style as normal.

I hope you guys find this helpful and if you try it out let me know!! Oh and sorry about the bite in the bagel lol, I didnt think to take the pic unitl after i had eaten some. :-/

Hugs and Love :)

fitness friday #2

Happy Friday!! I hope you all had a wonderful and productive week. This cold I have almost got the best of me one day but I made it through and its almost out of my body, Im just waiting to get my voice back totally.

A few weeks ago I did a fitness friday post on a few easy yoga poses that you could do in the morning. This week I wanted to share this post-workout chart that I found, because like many people I was totally clueless about what I should be eating after my workouts.  Usually after my workouts I would always have protein whether I just finished doing cardio or weights, which isnt completely bad but I also wasnt replenishing the fluids that I lost.  

I hope this helps for those who arent quite sure what to eat after workouts. I like anything having to deal with exercise and becoming a better and healthier person so if you would like to see more fitness posts on healthy foods and/or exercises just let me know :) Remember always drink water!

Hugs and Love :)

Better Body: You are what you eat

Over the past year or so I have slowly but surely become a very healthy eater with a few bad habits (mainly anything with chocolate, chipotle and a few pepsi's from time to time.) Realizing that I'm not getting any younger and that the food I ate would eventually catch up with me, I needed to make a change. Here are a few and easy ways that can help anyone start to make their eating habits healthier!
