Build + Shred Cardio Routine

Ready for an intense AND interesting cardio routine?  This is the routine that I do most days for my cardio.  I get bored when I have to do the same thing for an entire session so I switch it up!  You will be doing sprints mixed with incline walking.  The speed listed below is a more advanced speed so work your way up if you are not able to sprint at the listed speed.  Push yourself but don't injure yourself!

If you are doing the She Sweats 12-Week Transformation or the She Sweats Extreme 4-Week Shred you can use this on your HIIT day!

Strawberry Pancakes

My two favorite things - strawberries and pancakes! I know we have quite a few pancake recipes on the blog (5 to be exact, this makes 6), but who doesn't love light pink fluffy goodness! These babies are obviously clean and gluten-free so don't be afraid to whip some up! How much fun would these be to make for yourself and your family on Valentine's day?

Strawberry Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 7 medium strawberries, stems removed and quartered
• 2 TBSP water

-----

• 1 1/4 c gluten free oat flour
• 2/3 c unsweetened applesauce
• 2/3 c coconut milk (you could also substitute original, unsweetened almond milk)
• 1/2 c unsweetened, plain 2% greek yogurt
• 2 egg whites
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp baking powder

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine strawberries and water on medium to medium low heat and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning of strawberries. 

2. Cook strawberries for 4-5 minutes until strawberries are very soft and begin to breakdown, resembling strawberry jam.

3. Meanwhile, combine dry and wet ingredients (in second list) in a large bowl with a whisk. 

4. Remove strawberries from heat and using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the strawberries.

5. Combine strawberries with pancake mix (step 3). 

6. Cook pancakes as you would normally on a griddle or stovetop.

Makes approximately 15 - 3" diameter pancakes.

Serving size is approximately 5 pancakes.
