Pumpkin Spice Protein Muffins
Pumpkin Spice Protein Muffins

These muffins have health at the center focus but they taste great too. These are low sugar, high in healthy fat, and calorie dense for how small they are. They make a perfect post workout snack or are great to pack when hiking/camping. You can easily change the flavor of these muffins by using a different one of the Kodiak Cake mixes!

German Chocolate Cake Oats
German Chocolate Cake Oats

Some mornings I wake up really hungry. It's usually after a long training session the day prior and my body wants more and more food to recover. On those mornings, I take my oatmeal and go overboard with it. To add calories and nutrients, I add in items I normally wouldn't. These add ins are still very healthy and good for you, but they tend to be higher in calories and fats than I usually eat. The morning I made these, I spotted a bag on unsweetened coconut flakes and thought... aw yeah, German Chocolate Cake!

Supplements: What I Take for Bodybuilding & Wellness
Supplements: What I Take for Bodybuilding & Wellness

When looking at supplementation, I try to keep in mind what the actual term means and find the holes in my diet. Those nutritional holes can be filled with supplements. It is important to do research when buying and taking supplements. Beyond just reading what others have to say, your body and personal experience is going to be the most important factor. Try different things and always track how you feel. Learn from personal experience what is working best to enhance your performance, recovery, immunity, energy, mental health, and overall wellbeing.

Your forearms will feel massive and your biceps will be full.

12 Week Bulk to Gain Lean Mass Program - Phase 2 Results
12 Week Bulk to Gain Lean Mass Program - Phase 2 Results

Phase 2 was all about digging for deep motivation. The thrill of Phase 1 wore off and this became work, but by focusing on strengthening my mind more than anything... I was able to achieve all my goals. During this Phase I also received a lot of positivity, motivation, and encouragement from people on social media. This was a great motivator and made me realize that I can inspire and give back to others. These interactions reignited my fire to show others what is possible when you commit to something and give it your all.

Quick Blueberry Oatmeal Bowl
Quick Blueberry Oatmeal Bowl

Berries are nutrient dense, hydrating, and have lower carb numbers by volume than just oats. My favorite berry to cook into oats is the blueberry. Blueberries add a lot of juicy goodness to your oatmeal bowl and cook very easily. Next time you cook oats, throw in some blueberries for a nutrition boost.
