5 switch lunges and 2 around the worlds-5,6,5
plank jump overs-38,42,35
Another thing I have to share today is a special chocolate chip cookie recipe, but be careful, they are very addicting :3
I got the cookie recipe from Nana Clare's Kitchen (url at bottom of page). However, because I just LOVE cookies and can never say no to having one more I made a few changes to the recipe (: Instead of using honey, which is quickly absorbed into the system, I used agave nectar. For me I did not notice a difference in sweetness, another plus is that agave nectar is slowly absorbed into the blood so it's good for diabetics (: ! Another thing I added is coconut butter, which is a healthy fat, to help with the cookie's texture (:
Alright, lets begin!
you will need:
½ cup agave nectar
½ cup butter( 1 stick non salted)
1 1/2 tablespoons of coconut butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½ cups flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
3/4 cups dark chocolate chips- little healthy and so yummy
1/4 cup cacao nubs-you can find them at whole foods, have a LOT of iron
Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2.In a medium sized bowl, cream the stick of butter. Once smooth, add the agave nectar,coco butter, egg, and vanilla and blend.
3.In a small bowl sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine the ingredients well.
4.Add a little of the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until well combined. Do this until you run out of the dry mixture. Never add all of the dry mixture, it will take longer to mix.
5.Once all ingredients are combined, fold in the chocolate chips and cacao.
6.Spoon the cookie dough onto a sheet, 1 inch in between.
7.Bake in oven 10-14 minutes or until brown. And enjoy C:
