Clean Eating Coconut Bomb Oatmeal Recipe

Growing up, I hated coconut with a passion. My mom loved it and I just couldn’t understand her obsession with it. She lived in Hawaii for a time, and coconut was a big deal there. She learned to appreciate it in all it’s forms.

The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera), known as “niu” in Hawaii, was originally introduced to the islands by the original Polynesian settlers. Although the island chain lies near the northern boundaries of the main coconut-growing regions of the world, coconut trees thrive in the warm, balmy climate of Hawaii. Coconuts were an important resource for ancient Hawaiians, providing food, liquid and building materials. Coconut fiber was used to lash the warrior’s koa wood canoes and the shells were used as the base of the shark skin-covered piniu, or Hawaiian knee drum. Source.

As for me, I didn’t come to enjoy the flavor of coconut until I tasted fresh coconut for the first time. Something about that flipped a switch in me, and I’ve enjoyed the flavor ever since. These days, I enjoy coconut oil, coconut milk and coconut flakes on a fairly regular basis.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems.

But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
