Quick and Healthy Brownies

                                                 
Welcome to another blog post! I thought I would write about something different, specifically a new recipe that I tried recently. These healthy brownies were way too delicious not to share! They taste exactly like normal brownies, but they have secret ingredients like avocado and pumpkin that make them much more nutritious and a healthier option for you. Plus, the coconut flour used makes these brownies have a lot less carbs (perfect for those eating keto or diabetics like me)

Ingredients

-1 cup pumpkin puree
-2 small avocados
-4 eggs
-2/3 cup mini chocolate chips
-1/2 cup honey
1/2 tsp salt
-3 tsp. baking soda
-6 tbsp. coconut flour
-4 tbsp. liquid cooking oil
-2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 by 13 in. with liners or oil.
  2. Combine all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor, except for the chocolate chips.
  3. Blend all the ingredients until smooth. May need to scrape the sides down to ensure complete blending.
  4. Fold in 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  5. Fill pan with batter and top remaining chocolate chips
  6. Bake for 15 min. and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. 

ENJOY!

Tips:
*You may have chunks of avocado, so make sure you blend the batter really well.
*These are nice and gooey so you may want to chill them in the freezer before you cut them.

Gym Shark Review

Gym Shark is one of my new favorite workout brands that I am so excited to write about. I’ve always been a fan of Victoria’s Secret leggings, but found that they were not so great for working out or my budget.  I began hearing about the Gym Shark leggings and seeing people wearing them at the gym where I work, so I figured I’d give them a try.    I ordered a pair of the Fit leggings, which are all black with a black waistband. I was expecting the material of these leggings to be thicker like workout leggings usually are, but they are actually very breathable and thin but not see through. I love how these legging have a sticky lining on the waistband because this means they actually stay up while I run or lift. This is also helpful for holding my phone while I do lunges, so I can still listen to music. (the most important part of my workout routine.) The best part of these leggings I personally think is how they don’t have a crotch inseam, which i...

Habits of Happy People

Happiness is something that is not truly defined, but somehow, it is something everyone strives for. We are all in the “pursuit of happiness.” I personally think that happiness can't be achieved from money or possessions. I believe that happiness is found within our  attitude and how we react to life. These are just some habits that I came up with that I think the happiest people practice. Practice Gratitude Take time to be grateful for the things that you already have. It sounds simple, but just focusing on the little things in your life that bring you joy is a simple way to change your perspective.  For me, I'm grateful for the ability to exercise and move my body and movie nights with my boyfriend. I'm grateful for the sunshine and for days spent at the pool.  Stop Comparing Yourself  I'm a believer in the fact that social media can either add to your life or destroy your life. It's so easy to scroll through Instagram and see these perfect picture...

2020 Feburary Obsessions

Hi guys, welcome back to my blog! Today I just thought I'd share all my favorites from the month of February! I've been discovering a ton of new items lately, and just wanted to share what I've been loving. I will have everything linked so you can check it out yourself, as well! TV Show: Castle Rock First, I want to mention the tv show castle rock. I'm a huge fan of horror movies but it's nice to take a break and watch a tv show when you don't have time for an entire movie. My boyfriend and I have been loving this show, it's about a small town and the murders that have happened there. I definitely recommend if you love thrillers! Behind Closed Doors book Next on the list, is the book Behind Closed Doors. Again, I'm clearly a fan of thrillers so this a great book to read if you want something that is going to creep you out. I am a fast reader so it normally takes me about a week to read a book, but this one was SO good I finished it...
