Want to know the secret to having consistent motivation to workout?

Things like this protein cake recipe waiting for you either pre or post exercise.

I’m not even kidding when I tell you my mood went from slightly dreading my workout for the last two days (only because of the length of these phase 2 livefit workouts, not because I don’t like the program) to full out excited when I remembered these protein bars were in the fridge.

When chocolate is involved, that kind of thing happens I guess.

See this chocolate baked oats recipe for more proof.

It’s a sad thing to come home to an empty fridge after traveling, but it’s a whole other level of sad/difficult/frustrating to not have any good prepped workout food on hand.

Post-workout high protein “fun” snacks (like these high protein cinnamon cake bars or this vanilla protein bar recipe) are the main thing that gets me through workouts some days.

If I’m going to be anywhere near successful in eating well and focusing on protein content, I need stuff on hand and ready because if I come up the stairs from our gym in the basement (currently inhabited by a rogue cricket who will not shut the hell up as I type this from a level above him) without a post workout snack planned out, things go south quickly.

It just so happens that these planned protein cake snacks have 3 different kinds of chocolate going on with their 10 grams of glorious protein a piece.

Funny how that happened, huh?

If Jamie Eason is going to superset me to death for an hour and a half, you can bet there will be more of this chocolate protein cake being made for the remainder of phase 2.

I can be bribed with anything with cake in its name.

Chocolate is just an added bonus.

These vegan black bean brownies also work as a bribe. A high protein brownie? Yep!
