I switched up my Omega-3′s this morning and used ground flaxseed in my oats instead of chia seeds.

I loved the creamy texture that it created, and I may like this version better.

• 1/3 cup oats
• 1 Tbsp ground flax
• cinnamon and nutmeg
• 1/2 cup water

set in fridge overnight, and in the morning…

• add a splash of water and heat for 2-3 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup liquid egg whites and heat again for another 3 minutes or until eggs have cooked.
• Top with Blueberries.

So…I know it’s a cliché that I, a personal trainer, love rice cakes

They are the perfect base for a pre/post workout snack, and there are so many different ways to dress them up.

You’ve already seen my version with Chocolate Protein spread…

• 1 scoop chocolate sun warrior
• 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 Tbsps. water (or more depending on your thickness preference)

And as for today, I used

• 1/2 cup no salt added cottage cheese
• 1 Tbsp. sugar free grape jam
• 1/4 sliced frozen banana

It’s satisfying, tastes great, and the texture combinations are out of this world.

Some other rice cake concoctions.

• Peanut butter and jelly
• Cottage Cheggs (hard boiled egg whites mixed with cottage cheese)
• Peanut butter and sliced apple with cinnamon
• Albacore Tuna mixed with avocado
• Greek yogurt and salsa
• Homemade chicken or tuna salad
• Hummus and sliced tomato with sprouts
• Tzatziki and canned wild Alaskan salmon. 
• Mashed banana and almond butter with cinnamon
• Baba Ghanoush and sliced cucumber

The creations are endless and delicious.

I ate my rice cake after today’s workout, which was another 3.5 mile run around the lake, and ended with a new park bench workout that I put together in my head as I ran.

Go through the list 3x, 15 reps per exercise

• Step ups leading with right leg (Use the leg on the bench to lift your body off of the ground)
• Step ups leading with left leg
• Decline Push up with feet on bench
• AB Leg Lifts
