In today’s episode of “Dear God, she’s at it again in the kitchen!”

Low Calorie Vegan 2-Ingredient Brownies

As you may have noticed, I’ve recently gotten into healthy low calorie baking. Earlier today, I found this recipe video by Rahul Kamat and decided to give it a spin myself.

Btw, go check out his channel! It’s full of videos on low calorie baking and he also provides nutritional info about everything he makes.

Now, let's get cracking!

What you’ll need

Tools

A square baking tin

A fork

A spatula

A piece of parchment paper

A bowl

Ingredients

6 bananas

40g cocoa powder

A pinch of salt

Sweetener (optional)

Process

Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius.

2. Mash the bananas until there is a smooth mixture. Yes, your arms will hurt, but it’s a free workout.😉😝

Think of the reward!

I’ll admit, though, my batter still had some wee lumps because I used bananas that weren’t fully ripe (I don’t have much of a sweet tooth). Then again, you can only do so much when your arms are pure jelly.

2. Add the cocoa powder and fold it into your banana mush with a spatula. Add a pinch of salt. Optional: add sweetener to taste.

3. Crumble the baking paper and line your baking tin with it.

4. Plop it in the oven for 30 minutes.

[Optional] Lick the bowl clean before you give it a wash and clean up the rest of the mess.😉

5. After 30 minutes, pull the brownie from the oven. It could look a bit burnt, but that’s alright. The top should be firm. Also, it’s supposed to jiggle when you give it a shake.

TRUST THE PROCESS!

Here’s what mine looks like:

Positively looks like a piece of chocolatey banana heaven🤤

6. Let it cool until it’s reached room temperature and plonk it into the fridge for about 2 hours to properly firm up.

7. Cut into either 6 (118 kcal per serving) or 16 pieces to enjoy with a cuppa or on its own.

I grew a bit impatient and had two slices already despite it not having firmed up enough yet. HOLY F*, IT’S SO GOOD! It’s so soft and moist. Just melts on the tongue.🤤

Gods, I could honestly eat the whole tray.

Also, this is a good example of what happens when there are banana chunks left in your batter. I guess my brownie truly is a banana brownie, haha.🤗😹

Side note:

- 6 pieces (118kcal per serving)

- 16 pieces (44kcal per serving)

And there you have it, a simple yet delicious low calorie vegan brownie. Let me know what your opinion is if you try this one out.

Also, seeing as I’m getting into baking as a hobby, should I maybe create another blog dedicated to it? That could be fun, I think. Yeah, I’ll consider it.🤔🧐

How to start a fitness journey

You always wanted to start moving your body but you always say "tomorrow" and end up on the couch again?

I will tell you some tips how to start your own personal fitness journey.

1. Find movement you enjoy

Find something that you truly enjoy! You will be able to motivate yourself a lot more if you like what you do. It has to be nothing extreme, just try different forms of movement for your body.

Here are some examples:

Walking, Yoga, Home workouts (Dance workouts, HIIT, Pilates, ...), Gym, Running, Stretching, Ice skating, Dancing, Cycling, Swimming, Boxing, Tennis, Hiking, Playing soccer, Zumba, ...

2. Start slow

For me it was very difficult to start. I always used to do some kind of sport and then always for an hour straight away. And then of course I didn't feel like doing this anymore because it was just too exhausting. Then I always quitted doing sports.

The key here is to just be consistent at the beginning! Try to find 2-3 days a week where you can do any form of movement you enjoy. Don't be too hard on yourself and start for example with a 20 minute workout on these days.

After a certain time you can increase your workout time. Just start slow and try to create the habit of moving your body a few days a week. You will find time to do a 20 minute workout two days a week, I am sure!

3. Find a workout buddy

Some people can motivate themselves better if they have a workout buddy (at the beginning). Maybe you can ask a friend that goes to the gym regularly if you can join in for a workout. Or you want to go on a daily walk with your best friend?

4. Think about how you will feel afterwards

This point is very important, because that gives me the most motivation when I don't feel like working out.

I always think about how good I will feel if I move my body. I am be so proud of myself, gain a lot of energy from the workout and always feel so fresh after my shower.

5. Consume motivating content

I personally prefer using social media for motivation and inspiration. Surround yourself with positive vibes and manifest yourself into the lifestyle you want to achieve!

You can watch YouTube videos about fitness, nutrition or Gymshark hauls. 😛 Follow people on Instagram that motivate you, do the same type of exercise that you prefer, spread healthy habits!

At this point I just want to emphasize, that please make sure you don't overdo it and consume toxic content (for example "what I eat in a days"), be careful that you follow people that have a healthy relationship with food and exercise.

6. Sportswear

Treat yourself to nice sportswear that benefits your exercise and looks and fits good for you.

It's so motivating to workout in cute fits, I always enjoy it so much more. And new sportswear is also a huge motivator!

7. Find the right time to workout

Everyone you know works out first thing in the morning. But you have no time for movement before going to work and you are also not a morning person. That is completely fine! Find your right time. Not everyone can workout on an empty stomach at 6 a.m., and you don't need to.

Try to workout during different times/days of the week and find your perfect exercising schedule.

8. Nutrition

I personally have had problems with food in the past. Let me tell you that nutrition is very important when it comes to exercise.

You don't need to trink a protein shake pre workout if you don't like it. You don't need to eat a salad for dinner that doesn't fill you up.

Instead try to include more vegetables and fruit in your diet and find out which food contains a lot of protein. You don't need a strict diet in your life, you need nutrition that fills you up and gives you energy to smash your workouts!

Find out if you prefer to exercise sober or if you need something to eat before working out.

Just try not to train immediately after eating, you need a few hours to digest.

Pre-workout meals could be for example: Bananas, Oatmeal, Chicken and vegetables, Cereal with Protein shake and banana, Smoothies, Protein bars/shakes, Eggs and toast, Pasta, Wraps, ...

Don't be too hard on yourself and please still enjoy the food you like.

Thank you so much if you read till here, I hope this helps. <3

Do you feel tired during your workout? Maybe you're not getting enough of the fuel your body needs. The easiest way to fuel up for your next workout or run is to have a smoothie about 60 minutes before. But make sure it's got the nutritional balance right. Why not add in some functional foods for an extra energy boost? This delicious pre-workout berry beet power smoothie recipe is a nutritious energy bomb to get you through your next workout. Made with mixed frozen berries, banana, protein powder, almond milk, Red Beet Crystalsand MCT Oil This Flora shake is packed with energy boosting nutrients and it's delicious! It's great for on-the-go use, takes just a few minutes to make, and isn't too heavy. MCT oil and beet crystals are especially effective if you need energy for endurance or training, which we'll explain in more detail below, as well as why beet crystals are a great way to incorporate beets into your daily routine. Give this recipe a try, I promise you'll love it, and even better, it'll give you the energy to power through your workout. The ingredients for this pre-workout smoothie are: Frozen Mixed Berries: It tastes delicious and is packed with nutrients. banana: As above, but add simple carbohydrates for an energy source. Flora Organic Red Beet Crystals: Why raw beets are no good? Here's why! Keep reading. Flora MCT Oil: An exceptional source of fat for instant energy. Vanilla Protein Powder: Aids in recovery and muscle repair. Milk Selection: Putting this smoothie together. What effect do these ingredients have on exercise? Frozen mixed berries: Research shows that plant-based antioxidants can help reduce muscle pain and inflammation. A 2021 meta-analysis found evidence that polyphenol-rich berries like blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries may help with delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and muscle recovery.1). Berries are high in fiber, low in calories, and packed with nutrients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin K, potassium, magnesium, and fiber. Fiber helps your body absorb nutrients more steadily, so they are often added to smoothies and shakes. It helps keep blood sugar levels balanced during exercise. banana: Like berries, bananas have They're easy-to-digest simple carbohydrates that will give you energy without adding weight. They're also a good source of fiber, antioxidants, and potassium, a mineral that helps prevent muscle cramps. Half a banana is all you need. Flora Organic Red Beet Crystals: Athletes have relied on beets for energy for decades. Beets are a natural source of nitrates, which your body converts into nitric oxide, a nutrient that supports your cardiovascular system and improves blood flow. Many studies have also shown evidence that it supports athletic performance, which is why athletes love beets. Although the full effects of nitric oxide take 2-3 hours to kick in, beets and beet crystals also provide simple carbohydrates that your muscles can use for a quick energy boost, and they continue to work in your body even after your workout is over. Beets contain important nutrients, including zinc, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, and vitamin C. They also contain powerful antioxidants, including glutathione, known as the "master antioxidant," and betalain, the phytonutrient that gives beets their vibrant red color. Both help reduce oxidative stress in tissues that is naturally caused by exercise. Some research suggests that betalain may also help with exercise-induced fatigue (2). Why use Beet Crystals instead of beets from the produce section? I love fresh beets but they're messy. And they stain everything. This recipe uses Flora Organic Red Beet Crystals, the best way to get your daily dose of beet nutrition without the hassle of fresh beets. With no messy peeling or chopping required, you can easily incorporate beet nutrition into your daily routine. Organic Red Beet Crystals Made with fresh organic beet juice pressed within 2-3 hours of harvest, it dissolves quickly.

It's naturally sweet, slightly tart and has no added sugar. This recipe calls for one tablespoon in your shake. MCT Oil: Due to their unique molecular structure, MCTs do not need to be digested like other fats. They are quickly absorbed and sent directly to the liver to be used for energy (3). That means you'll be ready to hit the road again sooner, doing those extra reps or running that extra mile. Some people also find that it suppresses their appetite. It's difficult to get enough MCTs from food alone, so the best way to get them is through supplements. MCT oil is colorless and tasteless, making it easy to add to smoothies, and unlike coconut oil, it remains liquid at room temperature. But the problem is: You want to choose your MCT oil wisely. Flora MCT Oil is our go-to. Why? Certified Organic, Vegan and Non-GMO Sustainably sourced to protect natural habitats and wildlife It is not extracted using toxic chemicals or solvents like many other products. This recipe calls for 1 tablespoon. However, if you're new to MCT oil, start with 1 teaspoon and gradually increase the amount as your body becomes accustomed to this powerful energy source.* Protein Powder: I used vanilla protein powder in this smoothie and it was delicious. Ideally, choose a clean protein powder that is unsweetened and third-party tested to be free of heavy metals. You can choose a plant-based, whey, or other protein powder. Choose what works best for your body. If you have a protein powder but it's plain, adding half a teaspoon of vanilla extract to your smoothie will give it a delicious vanilla flavor. milk: This recipe calls for unsweetened almond milk, but feel free to use any milk you like -- we prefer almond milk because it has fewer calories than most milks. How to make a pre-workout smoothie If you have a high speed blender, simply add all the ingredients and blend until smooth. Adding the protein powder after the milk will help prevent it from sticking to the sides of the blender. Blend for about 1-2 minutes or until completely smooth or to your desired texture. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy. Tips + Substitutions For an extra nutritious boost, add a cup of fresh spinach or kale. Try different berry combinations or mix it with diced mango or pineapple. To avoid unnecessary calories, try to avoid sweetened milk with added sugar, and the fruit and beet crystals in this smoothie will provide all the sweetness you need. If you're using a pre-sweetened protein powder, consider substituting 1/4 cup of oatmeal for the banana to get some healthy carbs and fiber. If you only have fresh berries, add a handful of ice before blending. Get the recipe! Pre-workout power smoothie Try this delicious and easy pre-workout power smoothie recipe made with powerful superfoods like berries, beet crystals, bananas and MCT oil to give you the nutrients you need to support healthy energy levels and power your body through your workout. NoteTips + Substitutions If you want an extra nutritional boost, add 1 cup of fresh spinach or kale. Try different berry combinations or pair it with mango or pineapple, keeping the fruit to 1 cup total. Use any type of milk you like for this recipe, but if your fitness goals include weight control, be aware that some milks have more fat calories than others, and whenever possible, avoid milk with added sugar to avoid unnecessary calories. If you've never used MCT oil before, start with 1 teaspoon and work your way up to 1 tablespoon. Because MCT oil contains all the MCTs, some people may experience stomach upset at first if they take large amounts. However, Flora MCT Oil is a next generation product and the most common C6 MCT that causes nausea has been removed. If you only have fresh berries, add a handful of ice before blending. ➡Visit Flora Health Try Organic Organic Red Beet Crystals and MCT Oil Put effort into your next workout. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Whey Protein for Weight Gain: The Perfect Supplement for a Healthier You

In the world of fitness and nutrition, whey protein is one of the most trusted and effective supplements available today. For those looking to gain weight and build muscle, whey protein can be an essential component of a well-structured nutrition plan. But how exactly does whey protein contribute to weight gain, and why is it favored by so many? This blog will explore the benefits of whey protein for weight gain and provide tips on how to incorporate it into your diet.

What is Whey Protein?

Whey protein is a complete, high-quality protein derived from milk. It contains all nine essential amino acids, which are crucial for muscle growth and repair. As a byproduct of cheese production, whey protein is separated from the curds and processed into powder form, making it convenient and easy to consume.

There are three main types of whey protein:

Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC): Contains low levels of fat and carbohydrates, with protein concentrations typically ranging from 30% to 90%.

Whey Protein Isolate (WPI): A purer form of protein, with 90% or higher protein content, and very little fat or lactose.

Whey Protein Hydrolysate (WPH): Pre-digested protein that allows for faster absorption by the body.

All forms of whey protein are effective for weight gain, but choosing the right one depends on your individual needs and dietary preferences.

How Does Whey Protein Help with Weight Gain?

To gain weight, you need to consume more calories than your body burns. This is where whey protein becomes a powerful ally. Here are a few ways it promotes healthy weight gain:

Boosts Caloric Intake: Whey protein powder is calorie-dense. When you add it to your diet, you increase your caloric intake without consuming large volumes of food, which is ideal for those who struggle to eat enough throughout the day.

Promotes Muscle Growth: Whey protein is packed with essential amino acids, especially leucine, which plays a key role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis. This leads to the building of lean muscle mass, which contributes to healthy weight gain.

Improves Recovery Post-Workout: One of the best times to consume whey protein is after a workout. It helps repair muscle tissues that break down during exercise, speeding up recovery and preparing the body for the next workout. Regular use post-exercise can lead to significant muscle growth over time.

Reduces Fat Gain: Whey protein can help you gain lean muscle mass while minimizing fat gain. By keeping your protein intake high, you signal your body to use the calories you consume for muscle building, reducing the likelihood of excess fat storage.

How to Incorporate Whey Protein into Your Diet for Weight Gain

If you're serious about gaining weight, you'll need to be strategic about how and when you use whey protein. Here are some practical tips:

Use it as a Post-Workout Shake: After an intense workout, your muscles are primed for protein absorption. Mix a scoop of whey protein with water or milk and consume it within 30 minutes of finishing your workout. For additional calories, you can blend it with fruits, oats, or peanut butter.

Add to Smoothies: Whey protein can be added to smoothies to create high-calorie, nutrient-packed beverages. Blend whey protein with bananas, berries, spinach, and almond butter for a delicious and calorie-dense snack.

Incorporate into Meals: Whey protein can be mixed into your morning oats, pancake batter, or even soups and sauces to increase your protein intake throughout the day. This is a great way to sneak in extra calories without feeling overly full.

Take Before Bed: Consuming whey protein before bed can provide your body with a slow release of amino acids throughout the night, which is beneficial for muscle recovery and growth.

Choosing the Right Whey Protein for Weight Gain

When selecting a whey protein product, it’s essential to consider the quality of the protein and any added ingredients. Opt for whey protein concentrate or isolate, depending on your calorie needs and digestive tolerance. Avoid brands that add unnecessary sugars, artificial flavors, or fillers, as these can counteract your weight gain goals by adding empty calories.

Other Considerations for Weight Gain

While whey protein is an excellent supplement for weight gain, it’s important to remember that it should not be your only source of protein or calories. A well-rounded diet rich in whole foods like lean meats, fish, eggs, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables is crucial for long-term success.

Additionally, ensure you are strength training regularly. Building muscle requires both resistance training and adequate protein intake, and whey protein can only deliver results if you’re actively working toward muscle growth in the gym.

Conclusion

Whey protein is an incredibly effective supplement for anyone looking to gain weight in a healthy and controlled manner. By increasing your protein intake, boosting muscle growth, and ensuring faster recovery after workouts, whey protein helps you achieve your weight gain goals without the risk of excessive fat accumulation. Paired with a well-rounded diet and regular exercise, whey protein can be a key player in transforming your body composition and reaching your fitness targets.

Jordan Bevan on Nutrition's Impact for Boosting Strength & Conditioning Results

When it comes to achieving peak performance in strength and conditioning, there’s no doubt that hard work, consistency, and smart training are essential. But one often overlooked factor that plays a crucial role in reaching your goals is nutrition. Jordan Bevan, a fitness expert with a deep understanding of both the physical and mental aspects of training, emphasizes that what you fuel your body with can be just as important as how you train it.

The Foundation of Strength: Why Nutrition Matters

Nutrition is the cornerstone of any fitness journey. Whether you’re lifting weights, running, or engaging in any form of strength and conditioning, your body relies on the nutrients you consume to repair tissues, build muscle, and provide energy. Jordan Bevan, known for his holistic approach to fitness, points out that without proper nutrition, even the most rigorous training regimen can fall short of delivering results.

“Think of your body as a high-performance machine,” Jordan explains. “Just like a car needs the right fuel to run smoothly, your body needs the right nutrients to perform at its best. If you’re not eating the right foods, you’re essentially running on empty.”

Fueling for Performance: Macronutrients and Their Impact

Jordan breaks down the role of macronutrients—protein, carbohydrates, and fats—in optimizing strength and conditioning results. Each plays a unique role in the body, and understanding how to balance them is key to achieving your fitness goals.

Protein: Known as the building block of muscle, protein is essential for repairing and building tissues, especially after intense workouts. Jordan advises consuming a variety of protein sources, including lean meats, fish, eggs, and plant-based options like beans and lentils. “Your muscles need amino acids to recover and grow. Without enough protein, you’re not giving your body the tools it needs to get stronger,” he says.

Carbohydrates: Often misunderstood, carbs are the body’s primary source of energy. For those engaging in strength and conditioning, they are crucial for maintaining energy levels during workouts. Jordan suggests focusing on complex carbohydrates like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, which provide a steady release of energy. “Carbs are your body’s fuel. If you’re cutting them out, you might find yourself hitting a wall during training,” he notes.

Fats: Healthy fats, such as those found in avocados, nuts, and olive oil, are important for hormone production and overall health. Jordan stresses that not all fats are created equal, and choosing the right kinds can support your training and recovery. “Fats are essential for hormone regulation, which is vital for muscle growth and recovery,” he explains.

Timing Is Everything: When to Eat for Optimal Results

Beyond just what you eat, when you eat can also make a significant difference in your performance and recovery. Jordan highlights the importance of timing your meals and snacks to align with your training schedule.

“Pre-workout nutrition is all about fueling your body for the work ahead,” Jordan says. He recommends consuming a balanced meal with protein, carbs, and fats about 2-3 hours before your workout. This gives your body time to digest and provides sustained energy.

Post-workout nutrition, on the other hand, is crucial for recovery. “After training, your body is in a state where it needs to replenish glycogen stores and repair muscle tissue. This is the time to prioritize protein and carbs,” Jordan advises. A protein shake with a banana, or a meal with lean protein and sweet potatoes, can be an effective way to kickstart recovery.

Hydration: The Often Overlooked Component

While food often gets the spotlight, hydration is just as important in maximizing your strength and conditioning results. Jordan emphasizes that staying hydrated is key to maintaining energy levels, supporting digestion, and preventing injury.

“Water is involved in almost every bodily function, including muscle contractions and nutrient transport. If you’re dehydrated, your performance will suffer,” Jordan warns. He recommends drinking water consistently throughout the day and increasing intake around workouts.

The Long-Term Approach: Sustainable Nutrition Habits

Ultimately, Jordan Bevan believes that the role of nutrition in strength and conditioning is about more than just hitting short-term goals. It’s about building sustainable habits that support your health and fitness for the long haul.

“Fitness is a journey, not a destination,” Jordan concludes. “By understanding the role of nutrition and making it a priority, you’re setting yourself up for long-term success—not just in the gym, but in life.”

Incorporating these nutritional principles into your routine can transform your strength and conditioning results, making you stronger, fitter, and healthier. And as Jordan Bevan’s journey has shown, it’s the combination of smart training and smart eating that leads to true fitness mastery.

GXN I Rapid Gain- Best Mass Gainer in India I Magical Kulfi 2.2 lbs

How to Use GXN Rapid Gain for Optimal Results

Building muscle and transforming your physique has seen an increasing trend. Having a particular shape is desired by all who are influenced by fitness in today’s time. GXN Rapid Gain, the best mass gainer in India helps in achieving this goal effectively when consumed in the right manner. This article discusses the consumption guidelines and training methods for Rapid Gain to unlock its full potential.

Superior Nutritional Profile

GXN Rapid Gain provides 23g of protein, 4g of creatine and 2g of fibre per 100g serving. This high-quality, balanced macro and nutrient composition makes it a convenient and nutritional meal replacement. The protein content promotes the building of new muscle tissues when combined with physical strain through workouts.

How Much To Consume

The optimum daily dose of the Rapid Gain is approximately two to three scoops (500–750 calories per serving). However, obtaining the exact amount requires consideration of personal variables including body weight and fitness level. Beginners can begin with two scoops and progressively go to three, depending on how well their bodies react to the extra calories.

Consume Post Workout

For best absorption, it is advisable to have the Rapid Gain shake within 30 minutes of finishing a workout session as at the time, the muscles are primed to take up amino acids for remodelling. Blending the Rapid GXN shake with water or milk helps provide quick nutrition when the body needs it most. Over time, this enhances the anabolic response from training.

Sample Meal Plan

Here is a sample daily meal plan for optimal use of Rapid Gain :

Breakfast: 4 whole eggs, 2 slices of bread, banana

Mid Breakfast and Lunch: Rapid Gain shake with milk

Lunch: Chicken breast, brown rice, vegetables

Mid Lunch and Dinner: Rapid Gain shake with milk

Dinner: Salmon, sweet potato, salad

After Dinner: Rapid Gain shake before bed

This provides adequate calories, carbs, fibre, and protein from natural and supplement sources throughout the day. Consistency in following such a plan yields maximum gains.

Meal plan for vegetarians using GXN Rapid Gain:

Meal 1:

3 whole eggs or 2 egg whites

2 slices brown bread

1 cup oats with milk

Meal 2:

GXN Rapid Gain shake with plant-based milk (almond, soy, etc.)

Meal 3:

Lentils/chickpeas/beans + brown rice

Green vegetables (broccoli, spinach, etc.)

Meal 4:

GXN Rapid Gain shake with plant-based milk

Meal 6:

This plan provides vegetarian sources of protein, carbs, fats, vitamins and minerals along with extra calories and protein from the best mass gainer in India.

Some tips for vegetarians -

Use vegetarian protein powders, eat pulses, tempeh, and textured vegetable protein instead of meat. Consume cottage cheese, tofu and paneer for protein. Go for quinoa, oats, and buckwheat as quality carbs. Stay consistent with strength training and consume Rapid Gain, the best mass gainer in India, as suggested earlier to build muscle effectively without meat. With discipline, results are achievable even on a vegetarian diet.

Focus on Strength Training

To effectively utilise premium proteins and nutrients in Rapid Gain, it is important to train with progressive overload in mind. Basic callisthenics alone may not stimulate muscle protein synthesis sufficiently. Exercises like squat, deadlift, bench press, rows etc. must be included in a full body routine 2-3 times a week. This causes the muscles to be rebuilt thicker through adequate nutrition of Rapid Gain.

Cardio and Rest

Moderate cardio for 20-30 minutes after weight sessions helps lactate clearance as well as improves work capacity over time. At least one day of rest in a week is essential for recovery and super-compensation. Adequate sleep, hydration, and stress management should be achieved with activities like yoga, which further support the growth process when combining rapid gain intake and targeted strength training.

Patience and Consistency

Most importantly, consistent usage of the Best Mass Gainer in India i.e. GNX Rapid Gain as per guidelines over several months is needed to experience considerable and symmetrical muscle accrual.

Impatience often leads to inconsistencies harming progress. Therefore, realistic and sustained goals can be set by sticking to the plan without deviations for the best results. Monitoring weight, strength and appearance periodically keeps motivation intact.

Conclusion

By following the right macros, workout routine and recovery protocol while using GXN Rapid Gain regularly, one can gain substantial lean muscles and improve overall physique within 6-8 months.
