Birthday Waffles and Winners!

by Healthy Diva on July 20, 2011

Good Morning loves !

Today is a very special day

Michael’s 31st Birthday!

I love him so much and am so blessed to have him in my life every day ! He has to work today , which is a bummer, but we got to start off the morning with a birthday breakfast I made

Special Ingredients for the birthday breakfast  :-D

Decorations for the birthday man  ;-)

No Hello Kitty like he did for mine, I didn’t do want to do that to him , lol

As you see, we like to surprise and decorate for birthdays around here  :-D

 

Chocolate Chip Waffles were good and Mike’s favorite! I actually liked these too, the mix I bought, I will buy again  :-D

Mike was so happy, thats all that matters to me, and we are planning on meeting for lunch today too, but doing birthday dinner Friday night!

Guess what I ran out of? Protein Cookies! I had to make more last night…

I decided to make some chocolate carob chip ones!

Turned out SO GOOD! These will be gone today  :-D

Ingredients-

1/2 cup oats, 3 tbsp egg whites or 1 egg, stevia, 1 tbsp coco cardio powder, 1 tbsp almond butter, and 1 scoop of protein powder, 1/4 cup carob chocolate chips

I used Teras Whey Dark Chocolate Protein Powder, such a Good Idea! Was amazing to make the cookies with! Chocolate goodness!

I want to ANNOUNCE the NuNaturals Giveaway winners before it slips my mind!

4 Winner are…….

1. Lauren at PB&G

2. Jodi at Southern Flavored Life

3. Katie at Faith Food and Fitness

4. Carrie at Moves ‘N Munchies

CONGRATS girls! Email me you info!

I will be back later friends, I have a couple more birthday errands to run!

Looking for a New Workout DVD?

I love this Gaiam Toning Ball Workout DVD, it really gives you a great workout and I feel it the next day, I don’t do this weekly, because its nice to do it here and there, so my muscles don’t get used to it, and when I do it, I feel the burn! Lots of great moves like wood chops and more!

Those cookies are so good! Do you know how much protein is in each?

They are yummy, honestly it depends on what kind of powder you use, some have more protein, some have less!

Hope you try them!!!!

Happy Birthday to Mike! Chocolate chip waffles sound like a perfect birthday breakfast, and I think it’s so sweet that you decorated for him :D I hope you have a great time at lunch – make sure to sing happy birthday to him so that everyone starts looking ;) And I need to get myself in gear and make those cookies… I just finished up my latest batch of cookie dough balls, so I’m thinkin’ it might happen today.

Reply

16 Katie July 20, 2011 at 8:12 am

Haha! I should do that, I should get up and sing on the table, lol!

I am not sure where we are going for lunch yet, so maybe the place we go to will be casual enough to do that ; ) haha

I need to make your cookie dough balls!!! Yes let me know if you make them!!

Happy Birthday to the birthday boy!! You are such a good wifey. ;) I need to try that carob combo for those cookies. yum! I made a batch with butterscotch flavored protein powder. that was good, too!

Reply

47 Katie July 21, 2011 at 6:25 am

Thank you! Yes I am, I try ; )

Butterscotch would of been good!

Reply

48 Emily @ Glitz Glam Granola July 20, 2011 at 3:45 pm

Ohh chocolate chips were made to be paired with waffles! That sounds delicious! As you your chocolate carob balls! What is coco cardio powder though? Just another protein powder? Or cocoa powder?

Reply

49 Katie July 21, 2011 at 6:23 am

Yes the waffles rocked! Chocolate chip waffles you need to make!

The coco cardio, its a cacao and beet juice powder! Its good added in smoothies, oats, or made as hot chocolate! The taste is bitter, so I use stevia with it as well!
