Summer has finally arrived in Seattle. I spent most of June trying to dig out some sweaters and long sleeves so I could stay warm. I’m still on the fence if I like the cooler summers here. The weather is nice enough to be outside and not feel like you are melting. Warmer days means more smoothies.
In case you missed my Instagram posts, I’m sharing what I posted for Bob Red Mill’s summer challenge. My favorite way to get sweaty in the summer sunshine — hiking! We might not hike quite as much as we used but we still get out and hike with Logan.
My favorite squat variation is with a stroller! I am sure these neighborhood views will never get old!
The fuel that gets me out of bed feeling summer strong is a smoothie bowl. My smoothie bowl base was 1 cup of frozen berries, 1/2 banana, 1/3 cup Bob’s Red Mill vanilla protein powder and 1 cup of almond milk. Toppings were chia seeds, banana, blackberries and almonds.
Adapting workouts for the summer heat is easy here in Seattle because the heat never gets unbearable. Sometimes, I will wait till the sun starts going down for my outside workout if it gets warm that day.
My favorite way for working my arms. Tricep dips!
I wanted to congratulate Realia on winning the Bob’s Red Mill protein powder giveaway!
I have been making a lot of my oatmeal no bake cookies this summer. They are so great for satisfying that sweet tooth while cheating clean. See this blog post for the recipe using Bob’s Red Mill chocolate protein.
