Happy Sunday! I hope you had a lovely weekend. My weekend was an absolute blast… let’s recap!
Friday
Friday morning I started the day off with my usual breakfast: A chocolate chip cookie dough Quest Bar and Greek yogurt! I always put my yogurt in the freezer for about 20 minutes before I eat… it’s like a lame version of Fro-yo, but I love it!
After breakfast I hit the gym for an Upper body workout! I wasn’t totally feeling it and felt like I was going through the motions, but hey, those days happen!
Post workout I ate lunch and got some work done! My boyfriend was flying in later that afternoon and we were going to be having a late dinner, so before I left I made a quick pick-me-up snack!
I was recently sent some almond butter from Barney Butter, so I tried the cocoa coconut flavor and spread it onto a whole wheat tortilla!
Oh my gosh the Cocoa Coconut flavor was incredible! It was so smooth, sweet and filling. It tasted like fudge!
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Barney Butter, here is a little bit more about them!
Barney Butter is an all-natural almond butter made with Premium California Almonds. It is a craveably delicious treat with all the right qualities: the rich flavor, nutrition and versatility of almonds with a texture just like peanut butter. Manufactured in a peanut free facility, Barney Butter is a great alternative for those with peanut allergies. Barney Butter is naturally no-stir and does not need to be refrigerated. Being Non-GMO certified, Kosher, and Gluten free, with no trans fats or hydrogenated oils, and half the saturated fat of peanut butter, Barney Butter is a healthy and delicious treat!
As well as the classic smooth and crunchy flavors, they also have so many creative flavors of almond butter too like Honey and Flax, Cocoa and Coconut, Raw and Chia and Vanilla Bean and Espresso!
My favorites were the smooth and the honey and flax. I loved how there were little chunks of flaxseed in the mix!
And if you’re feeling creative, head on over to their Instagram page where they post delicious recipes like these almond butter pumpkin bars!
I’m so glad I got to try Barney Butter! I’m normally a peanut butter kind of gal, but I got to say I am now a new fan of almond butter. I just can’t get enough of the incredibly smooth and rich texture that Barney Butter has!
Friday night was spent drinking cocktails and grabbing burgers with my boy!
Saturday
Saturday was a rest day for me because it was GAME DAY! I spent the early afternoon tailgating and stopped for a quick pizza break with my boy for lunch! We spent the evening drinking wine and cocktails and eating a delicious Italian meal! We started with a meat and cheese spread, followed by meatballs, asparagus and frozen yogurt to end the night!
Today I hit the gym for some early morning HIIT and since then I’ve just been lounging around and training clients!
Well I’m off for the evening! Cheers to a new week!
