Cherry coconut Vanilla (protein packed) cake! Gluten Free.

I wonder if Arnold swazenegger ate cake as a post workout meal in his hey day? Meh, well I do. Protein pudding is necessary for my all my hard efforts pumping these pewnies at the gym...they need pudding, I always need pudding. Not just my sweet tooth satisfied but my gunzzzzz are gonna be flexin' and totes happy too. This cake is flourless and fat free, instead it's made from yoghurt and whey powder! Weeeeey hey.


I was flogged a crate load of cherries from the market for £1 yesterday...it was the end of the day and the stall holder just wanted to go home. Soooo many berries! After eating enough to make my stomach ache ( at a guess ....my weight in chezzas) I though I'd do what I always think of doing. Bake.

2 tbsp peanut butter

frosting
2 tsp butter

I'M A HAPPY CHOCOLATE BUNNY.

 Easter holidays week one recap coming up verrrrwy soon.

What I ate Wednesday!

 Watch out people, I'm back in the WIAW game. Ive been outta the link up loop for what seems like forever but never fear me and beebz are now here and we have some nomz!

Breakfast this morning was PB chocolate smoothie dreamboat. I was in a rush, my alarm wasn't my friend this morning so i had all of 15 mins to make myself boootiful and feed my rumbley tum.

 

 I blended 1 scoop coco whey, 2 tbsp pb2, almond milk a banana and some drops of vanilla stevia... aaaaaand sprinkles. its not a party or meal appropriate for this blog without sprinkles.

 

10.30 am snack.. Picked half a grape vine and 2 Gluten free chocolate chip cookies a fellow teacher brought in to keep me quiet/happy at break time.

 Lunch was inhaled way too quickly, Sushi portioning is small and bite size by nature obvs, but I blinked and it was alllll long gone. oh and wheres my ginger pickles?!! I WANT PICKLES. the lil sachet was missing but it was still fresh, fishy and yummy washed down with a bubble diet soda.

It was my half day at school, so I lassoed bobbin up and we all went for a woodland walk in the beautiful springy sunshine.

 found a sweet rope swing, so swung.

 threw some balls.

 and swung some more.

 

Nice weather makes for such a enjoyable walk! once we had had enough of twigs, grass and all that nature stuff we  deposited Beebz back at home and headed to the gym for some HIIT on the elliptical and a arm focused strength training sesh. 

after all that exercising I came home and I cooked a quick spinach veggie daal curry type thing.

after some TV viewing brewed a cup of tea and whipped up an amazing bowl of berry protein oatmeal! almonds, yoghurt and a very berry compote topped ma oaty midnight feast.

 Annnnnnd thats all folks. nothing more to see here.

what was the best thing you ate today?! is the weather getting more springy where you are?
oh and thanks jenn as always for hosting W.I.A.W!
