Healthy Pin of the Day

So March is National Nutrition Month! Yep that's right if you have failed at your New Year's resolution then you can restart this month by eating healthier! Everyday we seem to be more aware of what is used to make our food and what we are putting into our bodies. If you don't know you should check it out here: Processed Food.

By eating healthier or cleaner as I like to call it you are not only helping your body digest food easier but you are also going to lose weight! You can go to the gym all you want but if your diet is poor then you will see little to no results!

So enough of my soapbox for today here is my healthy pin for today:

avocado, tomato, sprouts & pepper jack with chive spread

 

Looks so delicious and when I go grocery shopping tomorrow I am going to get the stuff to make this!

Cottage Cheese Banana Pancakes

Yes...I know what you are thinking...sounds gross! Let me assure you 110% that they are completely awesome! My husband and I for the past year have been trying to eat cleaner and healthier and we came across this recipe on Bodybuilding.com this week and I'm pretty sure it is now my favorite breakfast item.

Here's how to make it:

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 1/2 cup cottage cheese
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 4 egg whites
• 1/2 banana 

Topping

• 1 tbsp. natural peanut butter
• 1/2 banana

Directions

1. Blend all ingredients and one half of banana until smooth.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with cooking spray.
3. Pour the batter onto the skillet in medium sized circles and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the edges.
4. Flip and then cook for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Remove from skillet and top with extra peanut butter and sliced banana before serving.
6. (We added cinnamon and sugar-free maple syrup for a little extra flavor!)

The best part is that it shows you the nutritional values you are getting when you make this meal.

 Yummm!!
