Why You Can't Get Toned!


Toning doesn't exist, it's a myth, and doing lower intensity training with light weights and high reps won't give you the look you desire!  Watch the YouTube video above to learn more about what toning really is, and what workouts you should be doing to get that toned look!

Coconut & Almond Butter Smoothie Bowl!


I've been on a bit of a smoothie bowl kick, the last one I posted was a delicious berry and spinach recipe. However, this smoothie bowl I'm talking about today is a little heavier, a little richer, and it tastes so good it could almost be a dessert! I'm not kidding. 

This Coconut & Almond Butter Smoothie Bowl is loaded with great fats and it only takes a minute to make. The ingredients are simple, and you can use just about any toppings you enjoy. It's the kind of meal you can throw together in a pinch and it will keep you satisfied for hours. 

Here's What You'll Need: 

- 1 Banana
- 1-2 tbls natural almond butter (cashew butter, or peanut butter could work too)
- 1/4 cup full fat coconut milk (use more or less to your liking) 
- Toppings (I used cocoa nibs, toasted coconut, and chia seeds. You could use other toppings like sunflower seeds, pecans, pumpkin seeds etc.)


Here's How To Put It Together: 

- In a blender, add your banana, almond butter, coconut milk, and just enough water to make the mixture blend
- Blend until it's all smooth
- Pour the smoothie into a bowl
- Sprinkle on your favourite toppings! I used toasted coconut, cocoa nibs, and chia seeds

Is Eating Gluten Free Making You Fat?



 Gluten is a protein found in most grains that give grain products that chewy and satisfying consistency. Taking on a gluten free diet is popular at the moment for a variety of reasons. The main reason people eliminate gluten from their diet is for digestive and allergic reasons. Lately it seems like everyone and their mother is gluten intolerant! Weather or not all the people who are adopting a gluten free diet are actually gluten intolerant, or just jumping on the band wagon, is an argument for another day! 

 The second reason a lot of people are adopting a gluten free diet is because they believe it will help them lose weight. While it can be effective for helping you lose weight to adopt a gluten free diet, you'll only lose the weight if you're eating the right gluten free foods. If you're not eating the right gluten free foods, it's a recipe for disaster and weight gain! Check out the video above for more details!
