Fitspiration: Laura Hollander lost 40 pounds from sophomore year to senior year. By eating healthy and training really hard she was able to transform herself from an average high school runner to one of the best in the nation.
Alright, there’s hope for me yet. *breathes sign of relief*
holy moly that’s impressive
Ideal inspiration!

Sweet Potato Pancakes
I had this for breakfast this morning(along with fruit). I love these pancakes; they’re the perfect combination of complex carbs, protein and fats to refuel after an amazing workout and topped with all natural almond butter these will make your taste buds sing.
You will need:
- 1 small sweet potato,
- 2 organic free range eggs or 4 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon of coconut flour (you can sub this with any flour of your choice or even protein powder)
- Ground cinnamon and ground vanilla to taste
- A little bit of water
- Optional: stevia for extra sweetness
Prepare the sweet potato as you usually would (I like to steam or bake mine), then mash it up with a fork, add the remaining ingredients, mix well and cook in a non-stick pan with a little coconut oil on medium heat. Top with your topping of choice (highly recommend all natural almond butter) and enjoy. Have a lovely and healthy day guys.

When I first moved to Canada, I showed up to a party and started putting my beer in the fridge. The entire kitchen stopped to stare in wonder and disbelief until someone yelled out ‘don’t fucking waste pizza space. This whole country is a f*ckin icebox’
