Hi Friends! I’m loving everyone’s 2017 #SweatLife activities across social media. Please keep engaging! Also please keep sending queries and things that you need some tasty help with… Which leads to today’s post! If you’re heading across from the Facebook Live post, hello! If you want to watch me put all three of these dishes together for the first time click here.
One of your biggest concerns is either going to the gym in the morning and then going straight to work, or going to the gym, coming home but having minimal time to have your breakfast before heading off to work. Firstly I totally agree… it can be hard to make sure you sweat and eat right and then go to work. Well its not if you then go to a quick grab and go from the store after the session, but this adds up. The other option is to not make the gym altogether… but we know thats not an option either.
I mean you get up… head to the session and then shower then head to work… this can take some time, especially when we are working towards smashing some career goals. So how do we work in the essential breakfast and the sweat session and make it ourselves? Enter my 3 simple healthy options and Hacks to get you through that often morning conundrum.
The following 3 options, all take less than 1 minute, they not only reduce your time, you save money and they are that easy that it could be your first time picking up the pan. I have also included simple tips on how to prepare and make it even easier!!!
So here you go my friends.. and again if you want to watch me put all these together and show how easy it is… click here!

Option 2. Protein Rice Cracker
This is if you are in a serious rush… with the peanuts you get that protein you need for the day ahead and it activates the hormones responsible for recovery and lean muscle wins!
