​​Carbs are always a good idea before a good workout because they give your muscles energy! Oats with added protein powder will give you short and long-term energy to beast through your workouts. More energy = better workout. Better workout = better results. NEVER train on an empty stomach!

Prep your body with my nutty recipe below!

ALL YOU NEED:

• ½ cup quick oats
• 1 cup water or unsweetened almond milk
• 2 scoop pralines n’ cream protein powder
• 2 tsp honey
• 1.5-2 tbsp peanut butter, melted
• 1 chocolate coconut protein bar, sliced (optional)
• Handful of blueberries
• 5 pcs walnuts, crushed

 
Heat water or milk over medium heat. Add oats and cook for 3 minutes until it starts to thicken. Add your protein powder and honey, mix until well combined.

​Top with sliced protein bar, melted peanut butter, blueberries, and walnuts.

Note: The peanut butter will give you extra protein and potassium while the blueberries add vitamins and antioxidants!

ALL YOU NEED:

• 2 slices organic cinnamon raisin Ezekiel bread (I get mine from whole foods)
• 1 hard-boiled egg or soft-boiled, sliced in half
• 1/2 avocado, sliced 
• zucchini, thinly sliced (about 10)
• 2 garlic cloves, sliced 
• 1/2 tomato, sliced
• preferred seasonings (basil, parsley, garlic salt, lemon pepper)
• 2 tsp parmesan cheese (1 tbsp for each slice)
• 1 tbsp goat cheese
• 3-4 fresh thyme twigs
• 2 fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1/2 tsp lemon juice (optional)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Wash and prepare (slice) all your vegetables. Layer all veggies on both slices of toast. Add sliced egg, garlic and preferred seasonings. Top with parmesan and goat cheese. Bake for about 5-6 minutes or until toast is brown around the edges.

During the last 30 seconds add your thyme and continue to bake. Add fresh basil and lemon juice once out of oven. Enjoy!
