Mug Cake and Muffins
Let me first clarify (Please skip if you do not care about my rationale. DO NOT skip if you've had a bad day.):1. I eat clean first and Paleo second = Clean + Paleo = Clealeo
2. I am not a chef or a baker, I just love to eat. I am meticulous and follow recipes to the T, BUT I adapt them to what I have in my kitchen or really just to experiment.
3. A lot of recipes happen by accident.
4. I am not trying to lose weight, but Crossfit has driven me to eat to improve my scores in WODs and eating this way has helped me feel the best I have ever felt in my life. I also want to compete one day, so I am trying to transition into doing things right my first year of training.
5. I believe in honesty. I have tried recipes in some other blogs that claim that their food is AMAZING and their husbands and kids love it, so I believe them. I try the recipe and spit it out when I try the finished product. I will NEVER tell you something is amazing when it isn't BUT, your taste buds could be different.
6. Piggybacking on the last point, I did a 10 day sugar cleanse with my friend shortly before starting to eat clean, and now I think certain candies and cakes do not taste as good as I used to think. I am really into natural sweetness now. For example, I ate a chocolate truffle and it tasted almost like medicine. I used to gobble those like popcorn. I also had a twix bar before and I was SO upset that I was not satisfied. It used to be my FAVORITE candy bar. T.T
7. Soft double churned/gelato/soft serve (with chocolate shell of course) ice cream, cheese, red velvet, pancakes, and cookies are my vices .
8. I like things done quickly, since time gets eaten up by a LOT of things lately (work, bills, life) so meal prep used to be TORTURE for me, but I got used to it. You should too. I do all my prep on Sundays and freeze in portions for the week.
9. Piggybacking again on the last point, I recently got into green smoothies since I need to make myself eat more veggies and I HATE SALAD. Chugging them down is the quickest and greatest idea EVER. You NEVER taste the veggies if you make it right.
10. I HATE SALAD. I forced myself to cook since I loathe it so. When I eat salad, I feel like Little Foot in the Land Before Time eating star leaves.
Lastly, I hope you enjoy my recipes! Comment with any questions you have, I would love to help! I will try to post as much as I can with as many options as I can think of.
BREAKFAST:
Clean Aprinillanana Protein Breakfast Mug Cake with Cinnamon Crumush Topping
Cake:
1 tbsp coconut cream (the thick kind in the can)
1 Egg
1 Drop vanilla
1/4 c spelt (or flaxseed/almond meal or coconut flour if you want this paleo)
1/3 tsp baking powder
Scoop protein powder
1/2 banana mushed
Cinnamon mush crumb topping:
1 tbsp coconut butter
2 tbsp spelt flour (again substitute as you wish)
Drizzle agave (I would personalty substitute coconut sugar to get the true crumby texture of the topping)
1 tsp cinnamon
Combine all ingredients and microwave for 1-2 minutes until the center is cooked (no batter is on a toothpick when you poke it). Mine took a minute and 45. Cool, then put on crumb mushiness on top. Enjoy.

SO FLUFFYYYY
GOBBLE GOBBLE.
Meal Prep:
Clean Apricoconillanana Breakfast Muffin with Cinnamon Coconut Whip Topping
Muffin:
2 1/2 Cup Quick Oats
2 Eggs
2 Scoops Vanilla Protein Powder (I use Casein because it makes everything so plump and is very filling for breakfast)
2 Medium 'Nanas (bananas)
1 Cup Coconut Cream
1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Cup Dried Apricots
Drizzle Vanilla Extract
Mix all ingredients in food processor. If too dry, add almond milk until blends. Spray baking pan with coconut oil or butter up with coconut spread. Fill each cup to the top. It won't rise too much, I promise.
Bake at 375F 20-25 min. Cool then spread whip topping!
Cinnamon Coconut Crumb.. "Whip" (until I can get Coconut Sugar and Almond Meal)
6 tbsp coconut butter
6 tbsp coconut oil
Scoop protein powder
1/4 cup of cinnamon
Whip until fluffy. If too thick, add almond milk until desired consistency. Wait for muffins to cool, then spread on the topping and EAT. I love these for grab and go situations ( aka every work week).
Delectable.
