I finished the first week of the 7 day challenge 2 kgs down, not sure what that is in pounds but very happy with this first week. I feel lighter and less bogged down after a week of no meat. HOWEVER I fell off the wagon on Sat for my daughters 1st Birthday, I had a piece of cake and ordered pasta (even though I could have skipped the cake and ordered a salad) so Sat was a bit of a write off but Sunday I just went back to the plan so trying not to beat myself up too much. 🌈

Showed up for myself today 💪 30 minute treadmill walk on automatic setting.

I used the same recipe as for the cookies that I recently shared to make those pancakes. Those will be my go to's for the next few days: Ingredients - 30g vanilla plant-based protein powder - 20g whole grain flour - 1 medium banana - 100g canned cannellini beans, rinsed and drained - 15g ground flaxseeds - 20g dark chocolate, chopped into chunks - ½ tsp baking powder - 1 tsp sweetener of choice (e.g., erythritol, stevia, or maple syrup) Instructions - Blend all ingredients except the chocolate until smooth. Fold the chocolate in half. - Cook 6 pancakes in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat, adding the remaining chocolate on top. - Flip after 2–3 minutes and cook for 1–2 more minutes until golden.

Tried a new cookie recipe this morning 😍🍪 My girlfriend took one look at them and said: “Those are not cookies.” 😂 And honestly… she’s not completely wrong. They don’t taste like your favorite chocolate chip cookie loaded with butter, sugar, and 800 calories. But they do help satisfy sweet cravings while being lower in calories and saturated fat, and higher in protein and fiber 💪 (If I’m being accurate, they taste more like banana bread disguised as a cookie 😂😂) Would you like the recipe?

Today, I used less flour, and they were so much chewier. Btw. they are made with white beans and bananas 😂
