Hello friends,
Glad to see that everyone likes our take a tortilla 
Check out our guest post on Eating Bender to learn more about our story 
Check out this amazing ice-cream giveaway!
Today we wanted to talk about what we have been doing for workouts snacks both pre-workout and post-workout! We get many of our ideas from Brendan – you all know we are fans of his. We have talked about his most recent book here if you are interested in learning more about him and his whole concept of food and fitness Great read!
We have been trying puddings as most of our snacks. We are huge fans of puddings, we like really thick puddings too! Ok we might have weird taste buds
We enjoyed eating this delicious pre-workout snack a few days ago
This date mesquite ball was perfect for a quick but intense workout to give you the energy you need! We plan to make more of these again soon and keep in the refrigerator to have on hand.
Another pre-workout snack that we have been playing around to see if it gives us energy and makes us feel good while working out is coconut kefir. For example this one
Coconut kefir mixed with spirulina, dates, vanilla, banana, coconut oil, maca, and cacao nibs.
Our bodies really seemed to like it. We ate this about an hour or more before we worked out. We felt it was great for our hour long workouts!
We have been making some fun post-workout puddings. *warning some may not look the prettiest but promise you they were amazing!
Like this one
This was pumpkin seeds flour, spirulina, lemon juice and zest, yacon syrup, maca and a splash of water.
It made a very small pudding but that is all we needed immediately after working out. We than come back about an hour later or so to make a large green smoothie!
Another great and very thick pudding was this delicious ‘>chocolate Vega shake that we made into a pudding.
We just took some Learn more>”>Vega Protein powder and mixed with maca, chia seeds, lemon juice, stevia, and a splash of water. Stirred till everything was combined. 
Yummy and thick a great post-workout snack in our opinion and our bodies seem to love it!
And after today’s workout we had something very similar though we made it out of hemp protein powder. (sorry no picture).
As you can see some of these pre and post workout snacks had ‘sugar’ in them from bananas to dates. This is about the only time we have any sugar except for stevia and yacon syrup. Though we are really going to try to cut back even more on our overall ‘sugar’ intake for a couple of weeks and rely mostly and vegetables and healthy fats (and certain fruits) to fuel us (with the occasional protein powder puddings).
We actually took a few weeks off from having any protein powder but these past week we have incorporated them back into our post-workout snacks. We have been trying to increase our intensity of our workouts and our overall strength training program so decided to give the powders a try again to see if we noticed any great improvements. We will keep you all updated on how we do with that!
So far we are feeling great and loving the way we are feeling before, during, and after our workouts! With fit-bloggin coming up soon we are giving ourselves a little challenge to keep our intensity up and eat very clean. We will see how that goes
Now here for some exciting news that we have been talking about lately!
In honor of our love for blogging and fitness. We teamed up with a new and up-coming ‘green’ t-shirt design company to help us create fun and cute shirts for all to enjoy! More information on that soon!
