Good afternoon!
My attempt at making Chocolate Mint bars was a huge success. :)
So minty and chocolaty!
Nutritional Information (1 bar): 189 calories (kcal); 11g Total Fat; 25g Carbohydrates; 0mg Cholesterol; 4mg Sodium; 6g Fibre; 5g Protein.
Of course, I had to have one of my bars for my pre-workout snack.
Ingredients in these bars: Raw almonds, dates, peppermint extract, Organic cocoa powder, semi-sweet chocolate chips, Vanilla extract.
I also cranked the beats during my workout:
- “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood (love that song!)
- “Me & U” by Cassie
- “Silence” (Paul Oakenfold Mix) by Delirium
- “London Bridge” by Fergie
- “Touch It” by Busta Rhymes
- and more!
My workout incorporated today’s BBBC Challenge:
- Duration: 47 mins.
- Speed: 4.0-4.3 mph, incline 10-12%
- I did walk/run intervals. On every ‘5’ min. marker, I ran at 4.3 mph for 1.5 mins.
- At minutes 22, 27, 32, and 37 I got off the treadmill and did the following (1 60 sec side plank, left; 1 60 sec. side plank, right; 1 60 sec. camel pose; 1 60 sec. Down Dog pose). I still have one pose left to do later tonight!
It was a fun workout.
Hope you health nuts have a NUTTY Friday.
