I’m celebrating Fitness Month in a big way this May! I have so much in store for you…I’m going to have some great giveaways…that’s right, free stuff…for you!

First off, I’d like to challenge you to make the most of May…by eating CLEAN.  30 Days to health…by cleansing our body of all over processed, chemically charged foods.  I’d love for you to join me, by adding your name to the comment section of this blog.

If there is one thing I’ve learned over the years it is that Clean Eating means different things to different people.  Here is what I’d like you to do…for 30 days.  I’ll help you every step of the way…

1. Eat 5-6 small meals each day, every 2 to 3 hours.

2. Stick to unprocessed foods in their natural state. Rule of thumb…if you can’t read it or pronounce it (ingredients) you shouldn’t buy it or eat it.

3. Your days should include 5-6 portions of lean protein, 4-6 portions of  fruits and veggies, 2-4 portions of whole grains and healthy essential fats in moderation.

4. You MUST commit to planning and preparing your meals every night for the next day. Keep a journal…it works!

5. You MUST never miss a meal.

6. Drink at minimum 3 liters of water a day…a gallon and you’re an official ROCKSTAR!

I have never even personally met you but I hope you know how much I care about you. I want you to succeed and become healthier and more fit and with the wrong foods going in… that simply isn’t going to happen. Do something about it quick. I KNOW YOU CAN!

I can’t wait to hear how you are feeling…how avoiding chemically charged foods has changed the way you move and feel throughout your day.  Goodbye perservatives, white flour, white sugar, saturated and trans fats!  Commit to yourself…let’s do this together…let me know you are on board and I’ll be there with you the entire 30 days.  Who’s with me?

We all enjoy pancakes in the morning, but today I fixed up a batch for my 3pm meal.  Perfect for a rainy Saturday mid day/postworkout meal …I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

1/2 cup egg whites

1 1/2 scoops vanilla protein powder*

splash of water (for consistency)

1 tbsp all natural peanut butter

Cooking with protein powder can be tricky…since all powders are not created equal!  For this recipe I used Beverly International’s Ultimate Muscle Protein.  Mix together all ingredients, adding the water last,  until you get a nice pancake batter consistency.  I usually get my flat iron skillet pretty hot on high heat, then reduce to medium before I pour my batter.  Be sure and spray the pan before pouring!

Try this variation also….skip the peanut butter and add a dash of cinnamon and 1/2 baked sweet potato for another terrific meal option.
