What I Missed While in Greece

by Jenni in


Now, I am looking at all the articles, pop culture, and news I have missed over the past week and thinking that it simply must be shared. Because, there is the off chance that you also missed all these goodies and that is simply not acceptable. Happy Tuesday and here's to vacations, the internet, cat babies (who are sitting on your lap right now purring, pawing at your face, and thanking you for the tuna you gave them because you completely forgot they were out of wet food. It happens, don't judge), and coming home!

Oh, and you may see a supreme lack of pictures from Greece on this post. Do not fret, there will be PLENTY in the following week.

Another 20-Minute Kettlebell Workout

Because all the 20-minute kettlebell workouts in the world do not satiate my kettlebell workout desire. I looked at this with longing while kettlebell free in Athens.

These Cookies

They are made with coconut oi and oatmeal. Oh, and chocolate, bananas, and magic.

This Tracey Anderson Workout

I have been eating like a true Grecian and apparently, do not have their god-like metabolism to back it up. This flat stomach workout via flat stomach goddess just might be my ticket to normal-size town! Whoowhoo.

This Outfit

Because it's fall and I love it. I mean really, look at it. Do we need a better reason?!

Sopapillas

Full disclosure, I am not sure what is in them or how they are made because I have not clicked on the link. They just look soo good that all I can do is stare, and maybe drool a little.




Meat Free Mondays: Chia Overnight Oats

Chia seeds are a fantastic source of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. You can sprinkle them on your food, or, let them soak overnight so they are the consistency of tapioca balls. My favorite Way to make chia is to put them in overnight oats and soak them overnight! This recipe is incredibly simple and takes moments to prepare.

Servings: 6    Prep Time: 10 minutes    Cook Time: 6 hours in fridge

Ingredients

  • 2/3 Cup regular rolled oats (not instant)
  • 2 1/2 Tablespoons chia seeds*
  • 2 Cups almond milk
  • 2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 Teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 Bananas, mashed

After mashing the bananas, mix all ingredients together and place in a container that will allow the mixture to grow to three times the size. Put the mixture in the fridge overnight, or for at least 4 hours. Take out in the morning, mix again, and enjoy. Chia and overnight oats are great alone, or paired with fruit, granola, dried berries, or drizzled with maple syrup (not quite as healthy).
