La vie est belle

I wanted to sleep in today but my biological clock woke me up around 7.00am. So I decided to go out for a leisurely run around my neighborhood. The weather was darn good   — breezy and cool.

I needed this run. I needed to take a breather today. My brain thinks that things are piling up and that I am falling behind. But am I really? Or is it just the mind thinking too much.

Anyway … can you resist this? Because I can’t.

I. Seriously. Can’t.

It’s a protein choc muffin (recipe further down) sliced into two to fit in some PB and topped with maple syrup and crunchy cacao nibs. So. Good.

Bought decaf tea yesterday and after this morning run I made tea.

Tonight I am meeting friends  for dinner,  live bands and celebration. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Protein Choc Muffins

Ingredients (makes 6 small muffins):

• 1/2 cup flour
• 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tbsp Bob’s Red Mill soy protein powder (3 servings)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• Sugar (I made mine semi-sweet because I like to top it up with syrup or PB or Nutella)
• 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup evaporated milk
• Water (start with 1/2 cup first and if batter is too thick, add more)

Preparation: Preheat oven 200 C. Mix dry ingredients together. Add in the liquid ingredients. Pour the batter into muffin liners. Bake for about 15 – 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
