Protein Coffee Cake

Happy Wednesday to you all! Thank you all for the sweet compliments on my dress in the last post. I was so embarrassed to write back to many of you and let you know that I purchased that dress around my senior year in high school (2000) at Express haha.

I also love that lots of you want to try the delicious Green Apple Parfait from Charleston's Cafe. It is so so good! I do often make a version at home like the one below:

And its a little on the lighter side from the use of Galaxy Granola (the company sent me this bag but did not require me to do this write up-disclaimer ;)):

How has your week been treating you? Work has been pretty busy for me and teaching has been great(Pump Monday, Attack Tuesday, ran this morning)! We have the Body Step launch coming up next week and Attack the week after, so I've been spending a good chunk of time learning the new choreography as well. On Monday afternoon after work, I met up with my friend Violet at one of my favorite spots:


The weather has been gorgeous!


And last night after teaching, I mixed up a batch of Janetha's Protein Coffee Cake. I love love Janetha's blog and knew this recipe would not disappoint (did you check out her fitness videos she posted yesterday??). I made a few changes to the recipe- I used blackberries instead of apples (Josh isn't a huge apple fan)- so my cake isn't nearly as pretty as hers ;). I used sunflower seeds instead of almonds and skipped the sugar sprinkle on top (I sprinkled it with a little ground flax instead). The outcome (not gorgeous...but very tasty):







I love when berries explode in baked goods:


Off to work I go! What is your favorite baked good recipe? Share links!
Edited to add: Scary news if you eat beef.
