BANANA AND OAT FIT MUFFINS (VEGAN-GLUTEN FREE)

Hey guys! Two weeks ago I started a new 3 month exercise plan, as part of the challenge of the Bikini Body ebook guide from Australian trainer Kayla Itsines (@kayla_itsines), who has everyone raving on Instagram. They are basically timed plyo circuits (with resistance, either dumbbells or weight of your body) 3 days a week, and cardio all the other days to burn fat rapidly. This is no joke, they are HARD, but good.

I was investigating about the best types of breakfast (which is also my pre-workout meal), and found that ideally you should mix complex carbs, protein and good fats. Searching, I discovered a good recipe for vegan muffins in the book "Happy Hervibore: Light and Lean" and modified it to make it gluten free and extra fit. Right now is definitely my brekkie addiction (after workout I have my green smoothie with spirulina, chlorella and all the goodies). I usually combine these gems with a teaspoon of almond butter (while I devour), or I add some slivered almonds in them for extra protein and good fats.


Here is the recipe, enjoy!

REVITALIZING MASKS FOR GORGEOUS SKIN AND HAIR

As I said on an earlier post, everyone needs to have a self love time out, and occasionally indulge in doing simple things that feel amazing, something special that gives us happiness and peace. In addition to that, one of the best things about being a woman (men can join of course), is the need to feel beautiful, delicate and our drive to keep ourselves fresh and healthy...so why not do it naturally?

Of course that going to a professional for a deep skin cleaning, a treatment at the salon or an exquisite massage at the spa is amazing and very necessary, but realistically not all of us have the time or the money to do so as much as we would like. So why deprive ourselves of these delicious and relaxing practices that also transform your skin and hair, in addition to calm your nervous system?

Here I leave you some amazing face and hair masks, plus some beauty tips you can apply at home any day of the week, with simple ingredients you can get at the local supermarket.
