Protein Angel Food Cake

May 9, 2016 By Holly

Happy Monday everybody! I know, I know I did it again (in a very un-Britney way), I totally skipped this last cheat day, because sometimes I just need to haha.  Unfortunately, skipping cheat days makes me want cake (cookies, pie, etc.) even more and sometimes those cravings need to be satisfied. 

protein-angel-food-cake| HollysCheatDay.comLuckily, I happened across this recipe on a Youtube channel of a fit girl I subscribe to called Chelsea Lifts, which I recommend checking out, she’s got a lot of great info. 

protein-angel-food-cake| HollysCheatDay.comAfter watching her video on making this recipe and how much she emphasized that this was the only protein baked item she had ever made that didn’t taste dry or chewy I knew that I had to make it. 

protein-angel-food-cake| HollysCheatDay.comY’all I am genuinely impressed by how much like angel food cake this tastes, but as always with protein/lean food, it will never taste precisely like honest to goodness angel food cake, but this is yummy.  I ate it with some Walden Farms sugar free syrup (yes, all the chemicals) and it was a genuinely good substitute for some cake.  I hope you have a wonderful Monday and thank you so much for stopping by!       

Everything except the protein powder into your bowl…

Easy Avocado Hummus

May 4, 2016 By Holly

Happy Wednesday everybody!!  Ok, so maybe a few of you are wondering why in the sam heck I’m posting something healthy, and I will apologize if some of y’all were expecting a pie or cupcakes or something equally decadent, but sometimes taking a break from my cheat day is needed. 

easy-avocado-hummus-chp| HollysCheatDay.comI’m not gonna lie, I get full on food hungover after a throw it down kind of cheat day, i.e., puffy face, sweaty, exhausted, cranky, etc., and sometimes I just don’t want to feel that way, so I skipped it this past weekend. 

easy-avocado-hummus| HollysCheatDay.comMy sister sent this recipe to me forever ago & luckily she was going to come visit this weekend so I figured it was a perfect time to make it.  Avocados are yummy and healthy, and hummus is always yummy and healthy so the two combined pretty much made delicious healthy perfection. 

easy-avocado-hummus| HollysCheatDay.comFor something filled with so many minerals and vitamins this stuff was straight up crack y’all.  Between my sis and I this stuff was gone in less than an half an hour, especially with the organic blue corn tortilla chips to eat it on (sorry, my basic status totally came out in this recipe). 

easy-avocado-hummus| HollysCheatDay.comAnyways, if you’re looking for something on the lighter but still amazingly delicious side, this is the winner.  Have an awesome day, and as always thanks so much for stopping by.
