One thing healthy food bloggers are known for is mixing together obnoxious combos and starting a revolution by getting other to follow along. Have you ever thought of putting cocoa powder, cottage cheese, and protein powder in oats? How about eating your oats from a near empty peanut butter jar? Do you have the impulse to mix pumpkin into greek yogurt and sprinkle it with ten superfoods as well?
I've been digging the odd combos lately and wanted to share a couple with you!
First up- a flourless wrap by
Alvarado Street Bakery filled with sliced apples and a slice a gouda cheese. The cheeze and apple combo were awesome. I also had it with the rest of the apple and sugar snap peas. 'Twas fabulous!
Next was cauliflower and green beans sauteed in veggie stalk then I added tomatoes and when the veggie stalk began to reduce, scrambled in two whole eggs. I accidentally spilled half of my remains of nooch and drowned it in spicy peanut dressing. It was surprising good, healthy, filling and high protein! I called this dinner.
I mixed up my workout with:
- 5 minute warm up on the elliptical
- 15 minute interval run on the treadmill
- 10 minutes of intervals on the stairmill
- 5 back exercises that I can't even describe, but they took me about 25 minutes to complete
I've been guilty of falling into the cardio princess zone so I've been doing shorter, more intense spurts of cardio mixed with lifting. I have been supervised by my personal trainer (hubby) and haven't been able to have full use of my arms in about three days, so I'm assuming I'm on the right track!
Tell me what you've been doing to mix up your workouts?
What are you favorite food combos lately?
Got a question for me?

My favorite combo has been couscous and a boca burger.
I'm currently obsessed with nooch on EVERYTHING, which is definitely a bloggie influence!! This post actually just gave me the idea to sprinkle it on apples...I wonder how it'll turn out!! Have a great day!!
hahaha, i know what you mean about food bloggers and their weird combos!! sometimes they really work and sometimes...not. at. all.
i have to say though, oats in a jar is a beautiful idea :).
"Do you have the impulse to mix pumpkin into greek yogurt and sprinkle it with ten superfoods as well?"

I lover gouda! Your awesomely bad combos sound delish! I will definitely try the apple and gouda combo!!!
I am mainly a cardio girl, running, spinning, elliptical you name it. But I wasn't getting the results I hoped for, I have incorporated weight training and I am loving it!
I am loving anything with hot sauce lately, and apples or pear in a grilled cheese. I love finding new combos!! Yours sound great!!

I always do yoga. i mix up the kind or flow though :)
oh i know what you mean about cardio- it is so much more entertaining to me then weight lifting! and hahaha about the food combos- this is SO TRUE. but whatev- it all tastes delicious :) and apples & cheese is amazing together.
LOVE cheese and apple! one of my favorite snacks is an apple with laughing cow wedges - yummmm!
I have been doing the same thing with trying to add more lifting to my work out. I am usually all cardio too. Tonight I am trying a trampoline class so that should mix it up a bit!
I love cheese and apples together! Pear and cheese is good too... My favorite combo right now is banana, coconut, and peanut butter. SO GOOD! :)
haha, it's so true, since I've become a blogger, I have tried out the most random combinations of food!! What people come up with sometimes is just unreal. I have to agree with the others though, apples and cheese is AWESOME.
Mixing up my workouts is what I love to do. I do yoga and pilates on some days, lifting on others, and walking or elliptical on others. ALWAYS different!
I loveee apples and cheese...or really, any fruit and cheese. It's my favorite during the summer too, watermelon and mozzarella was a snack my mom always used to feed us!
THAT is my favorite thing about blogging! I love trying all the combos I see on blogs...I recently tried a Tofu Salad Recipe that I saw on Naomi's blog...and I have a jar of almost empty PB calling my name!!! OIAJ in the best invention EVER! lol
Hmmm I am switching up my workout, by training for my 1st 5k =)
