Ok, my recipe last night worked, so I can share it with you. IT IS SO GOOD.

Cilantro-Lime Pulled Pork Tacos

Here’s what you need:

Pork tenderloin
Jar of salsa verde
Lime juice
Onion
Cilantro
Roma Tomatoes
Tortillas
Other fun stuff

Here’s what you do:

Put the tenderloin in the crock pot. Cover it with the salsa verde and about 3 good squirts of lime juice. Low for 6-8 hours or High for 3-4 hours.
Chop up a yellow onion and a bunch of cilantro. Put it in the fridge.
An hour prior to eating, shred the pork (keep it in the crock pot), and add about 1/3 of the onion/cilantro mix.
Assemble your tacos. I used corn tortillas, the pulled pork, extra onions/cilantro, diced tomatoes, mango, black beans, and guac.

I could probably eat this everyday and be happy.

I could also eat these chocolate oat pancakes everyday, too:

Chocolate Oat Pancakes

Here’s what you need:

1 c oats
2 egg whites
1/4 c unsweetened almond milk
1 t baking powder
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
3 T plain greek yogurt

Here’s what you do:

Beat all the ingredients together. The key is to BEAT them. Beat them REAL GOOD. (there’s egg whites in there, y’all)
Spray a griddle and divide batter into 4 pancakes. The end.

I topped mine with sunflower seed frosting (a mixture of my homemade sunflower seed butter and almond milk, heated in the microwave and stirred well) and some chia seeds. With a side of blueberries.

Yesterday’s workout was 40 minutes of spin. The gym was PACKED but I managed to snag a bike. A crappy bike. The seat collapsed halfway through the ride. At least I was in 2nd position when it happened, or that could have been AWKWARD (or a reat awk spot story for Athena’s blog)

Today’s workout was Workout B from BBB and it was killer- a real upper body blaster! I was super pumped throughout the workout though because I wore my brand new Lululemon top! Oh, and 30 minutes of speed work on the treadmill. Not too shabby.
