    #whatieatinaday #mealideas #beginnertips
    So today’s video, I’m talking the top 5 things that I struggled with within my fitness journey and that most certainly slowed me down in my progress or kept me from seeing the results I desired. But as mentioned in the video, it’s all a part of the journey! 💕
    Please don’t forget to subscribe if you enjoy my videos AND come through to the second channel: youtube.com/@bongegumedevlogs...
    RECIPES:
    BREAKFAST:
    Chia pudding with berry compote -
    Pudding:
    1. Pour 2 tbsp. chia seeds and half a cup of almond milk (or milk of your choice) into a jar/bowl and mix well. Let settle for 2-3 minutes then mix again very well until you see no clumping.
    2. Cover the jar and store in fridge overnight or for at least 2 hours.
    Berry Compote:
    1. In a saucepan, add in 1 cup of mixed berries, lemon zest and (1)lemon juice, and heat over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes.
    2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly and heat for 2-3 more minutes. Occasionally press the berries, so they release more of their juices (though there’s no need to mash them fully).
    3. Add 1tbsp. sugar (or sweetener of your choice) towards the end of the cooking time and stir well. Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice/sweetener at any time.
    4. Remove from the heat and either serve the fruit compote immediately over your chia pudding, add almond flakes and caramelized bananas
    LUNCH:
    Chicken wrap:
    1. Mix your veggie mix and add mayonnaise to coat.
    2. Layer tortillas with a 1 tbsp. of the mixture. and your leftover chicken breast pieces, starting at that end, roll the tortilla up, folding in the sides like a burrito.
    3. Heat a skillet over medium high-heat. Add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan (or spray generously with cooking spray) and once the oil is hot, place the wraps seam side down in the skillet. Cook, turning the wraps every minute or two, until they are golden and crispy on all sides and warmed through. Serve immediately.
    PROTEIN SMOOTHIE:
    2 frozen bananas
    1-2 dates
    1 cup oats
    1 cup almond milk (or milk of your choice)
    1 tsp. moringa powder
    crushed ice and water
    DINNER:
    Chicken Caesar Salad -
    1. Rub 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts with 1 tbsp olive oil, season and add breadcrumbs. Cut it up to small pieces and then place a pan over a medium heat for 1 min, until hot, but not smoking. Lay the chicken on the pan (it will sizzle if it’s hot enough) and leave for 4 mins.
    2. Grate a handful of parmesan cheese (or use white cheese) and in a measuring cup mix with the 1 tsp. garlic, 1 tbsp. mayo, 1/2 tbsp. Dijon mustard, black pepper, salt, lemon juice, 1 tsp. white wine vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil.
    3. It should be the consistency of yogurt - if yours is thicker, stir in a few tsps water to thin it.
    4. Mix together your croutons, lettuce, chicken, anchovies, cheese, the dressing and enjoy!

    🙏🏽 I struggle with the belief that I can actually save a large amount of money. My solution would be to find ways to change that poor mindset and just start instead of allowing myself to be paralyzed with doubt. Being around people who are doing what I want to do and exposing myself to a more positive approach to grow my finances and discipline.

  • @bre6651
    @bre6651 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Fat, protein, vitamins and minerals is all our body needs scientifically. The reason why people say to prioritize protein is because most women are getting severely under the amount they should be getting. (barely 30grams from my experience) a lot of my female clients complain about their stomach hurting or feeling too full. But that's literally the point! Wouldn't you rather stay in a calorie deficit and lose weight AND feel full, instead of feeling like you're starving? I recommend start off slowly increasing your total grams per day, to avoid feeling uncomfortable and cut out processed carbs or high calorie/low volume items that don't really have much nutrition to them. And replace it with something you like, thats just better nutritionally. Of course eat fruit, vegetables and high quality proteins and fats. you'll get carbs naturally if you eat plenty of veggies and fruit. Save the high carb stuff for special occasions so it feels worth it. Not saying cut it all out completely, but if you have a goal you make compromises, and high protien diet is the easiest way to do this for men and woman. however it's mostly woman who have a hard time getting over the The psychological aspect of eating more protein and doing Weights.
