Coconut Milk “frappuccino”

Ingredients:
1 cup cold brewed Coffee
1 piece of dark chocolate, broken up into small pieces
1/2 can of coconut cream or full fat coconut milk
1 cup of ice

Directions:
If you are using full fat coconut milk-Place can of coconut milk in the fridge 4-6 hours before making the frappuccino at least, these will help the water and fat separate. Add a 1/2 cup of the separated coconut milk fat to the blender.
Add the dark chocolate, coffee, ice to the blender.
Use the pulse setting on the blender for 3-5 seconds two or three times.
Transfer the frappuccino mixture from the blender to a glass and enjoy.

Day 8 of 21 AM Workout Progress

My last post I talked about making small goals and mastering those first, to achieve your overall goal. my first goal-wake up every morning for 21 days and workout-well Monday morning I didn’t get out of bed to workout-but as soon as I walked in the door from work I did my AM workout. So, I am not counting it as a fail, because I still did the workout. Then this morning getting up was easy for the workout. I realized in order to achieve this little goal of moving everyday-I need to get enough sleep. Which Sunday night I did not, but last night I went to bed at 930pm. So I have 2 small goals this week: be in bed by 9:30 so my AM workouts do happen, and the second goal is to visit my crossfit box 3 times this week-regardless of the movements and how humid it is outside.

Even when you are working on one small step to achieve the big prize (optimal health) there are other things in your life you also need to adjust-like sleeping.
