Friends around the World…Skype FUN!!!

Motivation of the Day: A Positive Healthy Life is Contagious



Maintenance Modified ME!!!!
I can remember being in junior high & high school sitting in my parent’s kitchen talking on the phone plugged into the wall with that coil like cord being my talking friend lifeline. WOW….has time changed…and in my lifetime…so amazing. Today…everything cordless and the ability to receive messages via a phone in my purse anywhere I go. What really blows my mind is being able to talk to people around the world through the internet…specifically Skype. I am honored everyday with emails from fans asking advice, leaving comments, and the BEST of the BEST, requesting to be a client. This is fabulous fitness fun for me as I consult with clients via Skype from all over the world. It is a learning adventure for me as I get to experience different cultures, foods, and ways of life right here on my computer. I get to see the people I am consulting, their smiling faces, enjoy laughs, and really get to know my clients from around the world in a personal way…..it is like traveling without getting on a plane. Imagine I am here….and thousands of miles away I am helping someone get healthy…having a great conversation on how to adapt a Stay Healthy life. I can go to Europe, Japan, and Australia….the world at my fingertips…..now this is a Stay Healthy Global Experience of YAHOOOOO proportion! YES…I get excited over things like this….YES…I am passionate about health and fitness and overall quality of life…So to be able to help someone across the ocean from right where I am sitting is completely FABULOUS!!!!! Today has been a very accomplished one for me as a trainer as I am continually blessed with wonderful clients from here and everywhere. Speaking of fabulous clients…time to train;)

My Banana Oat Protein Pancakes for Breakfast!!!!!

YOU CAN MAKE THIS!!!


Good Morning Readers!

This morning I am sharing my breakfast with you. I am on a mission to show that eating healthy is easy and fun.....so get in that kitchen and let's go...

Have ready your griddle, spray with PAM, heat on low, otherwise your pancakes will cook too fast on the outside and be gooey on the inside, and a bowl. Nothing fancy....my tools here are a bowl and a fork for mixing.




You will need:

1 ripe banana

1 egg white

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup old fashion rolled oats

1 scoop whey vanilla protein

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tblsp flax meal

1/2 tblsp wheat germ

Vanilla soy milk (yes you can use n/f milk instead)



In your bowl, smash ripe banana with your fork until it stirs well and juices release, add your egg white, 1/2 tsp vanilla and stir again. Put the oats in your blender and grind until flour consistency and add to the wet ingredients in the bowl, add your vanilla protein powder, your flax meal and wheat germ, stir. The mix will be thick at this point. Add just enough soy milk to make the mixture pourable (careful not to make runny), so add a bit, stir and check. I like my mixture a bit "thick pourable". Pour 2 equal amounts of batter onto your prepared griddle, cook on one side a few minutes, (check for color by gently lifting an edge), if to your liking, flip over and cook the rest of the way. This recipe makes two large pancakes. I eat one and save one for the next morning so I do not have to cook. Really, this only takes about 10 minutes to throw together....you will be done before your tea or coffee is done brewing. Also, a time saver since you have an extra that you can have tomorrow, or for a snack later.


Let me know what you think....


Stay Healthy!!!!
