SPRING TREATS & STEAMY READS
Hello Dear Readers,
Happy Spring! My last post here was in December, so I hope this March post finds you having a happy and healthy new year. As part of my New Year's resolutions, I embarked on a new workout program called #80DayObsession. I've always been a bit of a fitness enthusiast, and this new workout by Autumn Calabrese does not disappoint. It's a hardcore, total-body plan filled with fun cardio and core and strength-training. If you're looking for a challenge, check it out.
In addition to workout programs, Autumn also does a cooking show with her chef brother called #Fixate. Lots of healthy, fun recipes in there. I'm totally addicted to the Banana Apple muffins. Gluten-free, dairy-free and delicious!
Tasty Treat: Autumn Calabrese's Fixate Banana Apple Muffins
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed (approx 1 cup)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour

Celia's Tips:
- Try adding a little cinnamon.
- Top your treat with 1 tsp of a nut butter as "icing" (peanut butter = yummy).
