After seeing a huge number of peanut butter cup photos on Instagram, I couldn’t help but make my own. My absolute favorite treat are Reese’s peanut butter cups but eating them everyday is no bueno. Not about eating that much sugar and carbohydrates on a daily basis, no matter how delicious.

Enter my healthier white peanut butter cups that have no added sugar and are low in carbs! They’re still very much a treat but at least you can eat them knowing you won’t have a sugar crash later.

Meal prep woes will be a thing of the past with my kitchen sink cauliflower “rice” recipe! I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, but meal prep really is a big factor in helping you stick to your health and fitness goals (especially during busy weeks). While exercise is important, not just physically but mentally too, nutrition is hugely important – literally no matter what your goals are. Trying to lose weight? Focus on your nutrition? Trying to bulk up? Focus on your nutrition. Seeing a pattern here?

And I know it can sometimes be hard to get creative with meal prep ideas, or find the time to actually follow through with meal prep. Use my kitchen sink cauliflower rice recipe and you’ll never miss meal prep again. It’s SO simple yet SO tasty and I can’t wait for you to try it.

Chickpea Veggie Burgers

June 20, 2014

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a lovely week and have some fun plans for the weekend. I will be venturing up North to visit my boyfriend’s grandparents and aunt. But before I do, I wanted to share my new chickpea veggie burgers with you all.

Chickpea Veggie Burgers

Today I have some lovely vegetarian Chickpea Veggie Burgers (garbanzo beans for my American’s) for you all! I had a craving for something cheesy and filling a few nights ago and thought it would be fun to experiment .. ultimately resulting in this delish recipe. Chickpeas are a wonderful source of low G.I. carbohydrates, protein, fiber and a range of vitamins and minerals. A 1 cup serving of chickpeas contain 40g of carbohydrates, 2g of fat, 14g of fiber (wow!! almost half of your daily requirement), and 14g of protein. They also contain a fair amount of iron, which is great for the ladies, especially ladies who choose not to eat red meat. These chickpea burgers are not vegan because they contain asiago cheese. However, they can be made vegan if you omit the cheese that is in them, or replace it with vegan cheese, but I cannot guarantee the same texture and taste if you do this.
