PROTEIN PARFAIT REMIX

PROTEIN PARFAIT 
REMIX
Put my own spin on the usual "fruit parfait"


INGREDIENTS:
Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
1/2 Banana
.5 Scoop BPi STRAWBERRY CAKE PROTEIN POWDER (for the win)
.5 VANILLA ALMOND CRUNCH QUEST BAR (for the win x2)

TOPPED WITH -- 
WALDEN FARMS Chocolate Sauce ( 0 CALORIE )
ShurFine Natural Peanut Butter



TOP SECRET TIPS:
-----------------------------------



1. Mixing Protein Powder with Yogurt is the next best thing, not kidding. 
PLAIN yogurt + Flavored Protein saves you TONS AND TONS of sugar while giving you additional grams of protein!! 
(don't believe me? go read the nutrition labels next time you're shopping!)


-----------------------------------


2. Take a quest bar, break it into pieces, place it on a non-stick baking sheet,
broil for 4-6 minutes. 
TA-DA!!

BYE BYE REFINED, What's your Motivation?

I am sure I am not the only one that is
 MOTIVATED BY RESULTS

In order to see results you need to take all pre-cautions
to factors that are limiting you from achieving these results

SUGAR IS BAD, in a lot of
 different areas of one's life:




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Motto To Live By:
** IF YOU DONT HAVE IT
YOU WONT EAT IT **

In this case,  I did a little cabinet clean sweep and gathered 
all of my CHOCOLATEY DELICIOUS DESSERTS that I find myself
snacking on at night.

BYE BYE REFINED!!
 in the garbage you go
 ( or in my roommates cabinet if they claim within 24 hours! )

MY MOTIVATORS
ACHIEVEMENT, GROWTH, POWER, and INCENTIVE

Achievement: Improving skills and proving competency to others. 
--> These people are motivated by personal accomplishment,
 recognition from others, and the search for positive feed back

Growth: Desire for personal growth and change, using workout time as a break to focus on yourself and improving your well-being
--> These people are motivated to change their lifestyle, feel better about
 themselves, and discover a new identity. 

Power:  Desire to determine and create your ideal outcome that you want to achieve and take control of  your life. 
                 --> These people set realistic and attainable weekly and/or monthly goals.
 They also vary their workouts and do what they WANT to do in order to accomplish the set goal. 

Incentive: This motivation involves REWARDS
--> These people are motivated by the rewards obtained once the goals
have been met. They enjoy the feeling of tackling their fitness goals and earning
that CHEAT MEAL on saturday ; )
