Super Foooood!

Is it a cupcake? Nooo. Is it bad for you? Nooo. It is Super Foooood!

These muffins are filled to the brim with all the latest "super foods". I'm not sure about how healthy they are, but truth is, as a breakfast muffin they are really great (leave you full very well!).

Here goes!

Ingredients: (makes 8-10)

1,5 cups of flour (you can use almond flour if you hate yourself and want to go gluten free)

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup coconut oil (or any vegetable oil)

1/2 cup sugar

1 lemon, zest and juice

2/3 cup of greek yoghurt

1 egg

2 tb  ground flax seed

2 tb ground cocoa nibs

4 tb ground dessicate coconut

2 tb chia seeds

Preheat the oven till 200C.

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside. Mix the oil with sugar until creamy. Add the lemon and the yoghurt and mix well. Add egg, mix untill well incorporated. Mix in the flour mixture, until just combined. Add in all the seeds and fold through gently.

Fill your muffin tin. If you want muffins till the edge of your liners, fill them 2/3. If you want the beautiful muffin top type muffin, fill till just under the edge of the liners. 

Bake about 15 minutes. Check with a wooden skewer to see if they are done.

Enjoy!

The ugly truth

Last week I blogged about my health kick, and I feel if I go all 'yay healthy me, I should also be honest when I'm stuffing my face. And did I stuff my face last week! I just love to eat!

So the health kick didn't go so well eating wise. However I did squat and deadlift 65kg last Friday and my training regime has gone into 'kill-mode'. And seeing as how this week marks ten years since the start of the knee saga, there is no time like the present! (the anniversary is Wednesday, I'll come back to it then!

And I promise, food blogging will happen soon too!

The health kick 2014

I've been sticking to all my New Year's Resolutions in 2014. (like blog more) And it's time to start the last one. The ultimate health kick. I've been training really hard with physio, and dare I say it, it has been going 'ok'. (we don't use the w word, that's jinxing) And last Friday I squatted 62,5kgs. It was one of the best moments of the last 2,5 years. Undoubtedly there is a setback on the horizon, but right now I can look up. And it seems unfair to my body to ask it to perform at the peak of its ability and then feed it crap non-stop. So no more, fruits, veggies, nuts and fish are my future.

And yippe, you all get to enjoy it too! (run while you can ;-))
