Sweat then Snack 4.0 [Peaches and Cream Mugcake]

[I have a HUGE giveaway going on Instagram right now! Follow my page and repost the giveaway pic to enter! 5 WINNERS!!]

Happy Monday, friends! I have to kick-but things to share with you today that are sure to get your week started on the right foot. First, an energizing workout and second, an easy snack recipe that’s sugar free, gluten free, and easy to make! In fact, I promised you guys this recipe MONTHS ago, so it’s about time I follow through. 🙂

First up, time to sweat!

I have been loving this simple circuit workout lately. It’s straight forward uses traditional strength and cardio moves, and really gets your heart rate up! Plus, there is enough variety in it that it goes by super quick and doesn’t leave you bored. 30minbootcamp

Let me know if you try this out!

And once you’re done with your workout, you can head to the kitchen for a delicious mugcake snack.

Can you believe I’m sharing a mugcake recipe? You all know I’ve had major failures in the past, but this time I think I’ve nailed a basic recipe that’s is pretty much no-fail. This recipe is only sweetened with fruit, completely grain and gluten free, and high in protein and carbs for that post-workout refuel!

I love that this mugcake uses frozen fruit because it allows you to have summery flavors when peaches aren’t in season. Lately I have been craving out of season foods, but I refuse to pay for produce that’s been shipped long ways and doesn’t taste very fresh anyways. Not to mention how expensive out of season fruit and veggies are right now. I’m all about going for the deals!

Speaking of which, I have an upcoming post about my typical grocery list and how I try to stay on budget with my food budget as a college student. I think you’ll really enjoy it!

So that’s all for me today. Get your sweat on, then get your snack on. It’s truly one of my favorite combos of activities! Nothing better than powering through a workout and knowing you have a delicious snack waiting for you (or a minute away in the microwave! 😉 ).

Do you like ‘bootcamp’ style workouts?

  3. Yep, I hear you, I have been craving those fresh, juicy summer fruits too. I bought some raspberries yesterday, and peaches….oh those sound so good right now, but only if they are good peaches, I hate it when they are all bitty, yuck! You know what would not be yuck though? This mugcake! I love peaches and cream anything, and this looks so healthy, no guilt over this dessert!

  5. Definitely need to try this out but I need to substitute coconut flour with almond flour most likely since I honestly can’t stand coconut? Is it potent in flour form? Great post need to try out that work out too!

  10. What a great idea! I love peaches in anything. And the “fresh” peaches last summer were so disappointing that I hardly bought any. Frozen fruit is wonderful this time of year!

  12. I love how this sounds, Kaila! I’ve actually never made a microwave mug cake before, mostly because I know I’d have to make about 8 of them to satisfy myself. Haha. 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing this at Savoring Saturdays! I’m going to feature it at this weekend’s party. Hope to see you there!

  14. Sounds fabulous. Makes my mouth water. I love peaches but am allergic to them so I can’t try this recipe, but it sure is tempting. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays. Pinned & twitted.

  15. :O…yeah, okay, I’m definitely gonna have to try this! <3 I think I have everything except for the peach butter, but I have a ton of other fruit butters, so it's gotta work out! 😛
