Blueberry Cheesecake Recipe

Last week I felt like a chesse cake, so I messed around in the kitchen and whipped up my own version that wouldn't mess up my macro's for the day! GREAT SUCCESS!
A few people have asked me for the recipe after I posted the photo up on Facebook, so here it is:
**NOTE: The ingredient ratio are estimates as I didn't measure, just whacked it all together & hoped for the best ;)

The Base:
1/3 Cup Almond Meal
2 teaspoons of stevia sugar
A little water

The Centre:
150-200g Bulla Low Fat Cottage Cheese
1 Scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder
1 Tblspn Vanilla Essence
1/2 a banana

The Top:
30g Frozen Bluerries

Method:

Find yourself a mould you can use to set your cheesecake in, I used the cottage cheese tub and lined it with alfoil to make it easy to remove!

To make the base, simply work ingredients together to a cookie dough like consitency.
Press the into the mould. Put in the freezer whilst you prepare the centre.

In a bowl mush up the banana and stir in with the other ingredients. If it's thick, mine was, add a little greek yoghurt.
Pour on top of the base in the mould, place back in freezer.
For the top simply heat the frozen blueberries for about 40 seconds in the microwave and crush with a fork. Pour over the top of the cheesecake in the mould.

Let the cheesecake set in the freezer for 1-2 hours depending on the awesomeness of your freezer.

Spoon a small amount of greek yoghurt on the side to serve!
Serves 2, so cut in half and share with someone special <3 or if you are single, share with your cat!

Motivation at NABBA!

Recently, I attended NABBA/WFF SA State Chamionships at Norwood town hall with one of my best friends Jesse.

I had such an enjoyable evening watching the amazing bodies compete on stage after months of hard work in the gym, intense dieting, posing practice and all the thought, time and money spent into bikinis, hair, make up and tans! It was so very motivating to see such beautiful phyiques strut their stuff on stage. The vibe of the crowd was energetic and postive, one could not help but soak up the positivity of the atmosphere!

 



Memories <3 ANB 2013

Being at such a truly motivating event, made me realise that this is what I LOVE to do! Training, sculpting, eating clean, meeting like minded people. This is the reason why I train so hard, eat clean and pretty much talk about training and foods 24/7, not unlike many others in the audience on the night. This is my passion and I feel incredibly lucky to have the oppotunity to be a part of the fitness and competition scene.

I felt a great connection speaking with others who share my passion for fitness. I ran into so many familiar faces who I have met over the years at comps or the gym. Once home, after the competition was over, I could not sleep- I had too much energy and excitement running through my body! Inspired and motivated; I just wanted to get into the gym and lift! A job well done by the beautiful sports models, you have motivated me and re-lit my spark. I feel like I re-found my passion and am so excited to get back on that stage next season.

 

Some of the hightlights of NABBA:
- Lee Priest's routine to the superman theme song. Wow, what incredible dedication and passion. I was amazed to hear that Lee had only been to 3 nightclubs in his life and began competing as a teen!
- Emilie Foden taking out overall sports model. That girl can rock that stage, incredibly beautiful and her hard work certainly paid off.

- My friend Ryan Wait taking 3rd place at his first comp. I love seeing friends up there, he transformation was incredible.
- The glamour and dazzling bikini's- the girlie stuff! I love checking out the bikini designs, hair styles and getting ideas for my next comp.

 

Looking forward to this one next year :D

I am looking forward competing once again! Thanks to all the athletes at NABBA who inspired me and the friends I caught up with at the event!
