Training Days Rock My Sweet Tooth

It’s my favorite time of day again… and If you are a client of Erik’s (Lean Bodies Consulting) then you probably have guessed it.  Post- workout a.k.a. PWO. I love the freedom and flexibility I have with choosing my own ‘treats’! As long as if fits within the specific caloric and carb amount he prescribes me, its fair game.

 Right now I am training 5 days a week so I have been having lots of fun with my PWO meal.  Here is what I had today:

Almond Milk: A Protein Shakes Best Friend

I recently was turned on to the best low calorie product that makes protein shakes taste more creamy than ever!!

Building A Kebab



I’ve used kebabs in my plan for quite some time now. I simply weigh out my protein portion and then build my kebabs. They are perfect for when we are having people over for dinner because it allows me to eat what everyone is eating.  Plus everyone realizes just how yummy healthy food can taste.

Here are a few kebab combos:

Teriyaki Salmon- Salmon+mushrooms+pineapple+onions+teriyaki

Pesto Chicken- Chicken+cherry tomatoes+zuchinni+pesto

Mediterranean Scallop- Scallops+zuchinni+onions+tapenade

Jerk Pork- Pork+onions+red bell peppers+peaches+jerk sauce



Rules of the Skewers

Step 1: Soak skewers in water for at least 20 minutes before building the kebabs.

Step 2: The protein you cook will determine your produce size. Thinks... read more 9 comments
