Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oatmeal

Hi Bloggers!!!

I have a new and simply delightful recipe for you guys!  I call it Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oatmeal.  Man, I should really get an award for the creativity displayed in my recipe titles.  Anyway, this recipe is a favorite of mine for breakfast.  It's very filling and well-rounded, nutritionally.  It also tastes almost just like an oatmeal no-bake cookie.

Ingredients:
1 Scoop Chocolate Protein
1 Tbs. Natural Peanut Butter (or PB2)
1/3 Cup Rolled Oats
1/3 Cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1/3 Cup Water

Directions:
Add protein, oats, milk, and water to a microwaveable bowl.  Microwave for 2 1/2 minutes.  Add peanut butter immediately and stir until well blended.  Top with additional almond milk to achieve desired consistency.

Enjoy!!! <3

LiveFit Update

Sometimes life just gets crazy.  I'm sure you all can attest to the validity of that statement.  I apologize for the extended amount of time in which I have produced zero words of motivation, helpful clean-living tips or delightfully nutritious recipes.  I promise I will make up for it.

For now, I am going to briefly update you on what has been going on in my life over the last two months. 

First, I finally competed in my first bikini competition!  I competed in the Open Bikini division at the NPC Midwest Championships in St. Louis, MO.  After battling a terrible stomach bug for 5 days the week of the competition, I was quite nervous about getting on stage. Mashed potatoes and applesauce are, unfortunately, not a part of your typical precontest diet. ;)  However, I am certainly glad that I did.  I placed 3rd in my class and qualified to compete at the national level!  

Second, I received an invitation to join the most prestigious training team in the world, Team Bombshell!  I am beyond excited to be a part of such an amazing group of women and cannot wait to begin training with them.  

Lastly, between all of the training, dieting, competing, studying and working I have managed to squeeze in a few photo and video shoots.  I have uploaded a few of the pics in my photo galleries above and I've attached one of the videos below.  Please take a look and share to inspire others!

Xoxo~
