Hola Friends…..I’m traveling on the Miami Media Tour this week, BUT that doesn’t mean I will not be moving & implementing fitness into my life. Exercises that can be done anywhere is what I pride myself in. If I can get a run in great, but if I can’t then my jump rope and the floor in my hotel room will do. One that I do often to help with my Assets are the kickbacks. Kickbacks are the oldie but goodie exercise that will work our glutes. Do 3 sets of 12 to 15 reps three times a week.
There is NO excuse….Get moving & have fun! Be sure to follow me on twitter @BarbaraPorAtras to stay up to the minute where you can see me this week with Miel Pura & The National Honey Board! Telemundo, Radio, Print, CNN……Very Sweet indeed!!
Besos y Abrazos….xoxo ”……Barbara por Atras, Barbara por Alante, y Siempre Barbara por Adentro!”
One of the many great things I’ve been doing since my collaboration with the National Honey Board is whipping up yummies in the kitchen! My family has been loving every aroma and delish concoction I’ve been making! One of my fav’s is my healthy granola. Granola is one of those great foods that are totally versatile. You can have it alone as a snack, on yogurt, with skim milk, even on ice cream. A great healthy treat for the whole family! However, like many things out there, some store bought granola are loaded with preservatives and added un-neccessary sugars. Precisely why my granola is so amazing! Its all natural with a touch of my fav ALL NATURAL sweetner~ Pure Honey! Oh, and did I mention its super easy & quick to make? Yes indeed….my kind of dishes. Quick, easy, and naturally delicious! Buen aprovecho!
Healthy Granola~
Ingredients:
4 cups of Rolled Oats
1 cup sliced Almonds
1 cup raw Sunflower seeds
¼ Flax seeds
1/3 cup Canola Oil
½ cup Honey
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tbsp ground Cinnamon
½ cup sweetened Dried cranberries
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F
In a large bowl, stir oats, nuts, & sunflower seeds. In a separate bowl mix oil, honey, vanilla extract, & cinnamon. Add to the oat, nut, & seed mixture and mix well.
Spread mixture onto two ungreased baking sheets.
Bake in oven for 10 minutes, remove & stir. Return to the oven and bake until granola mixture is golden brown. This should take about 10 more minutes. Once golden remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Once completely cooled mix in the sweetened dried cranberries.
Serve & Enjoy!
While waiting for the granola to cook utilize that time to move! Take a look at my week 5 exercise tip The Curtsey Lungs~ Desplante con genuflexion with the National Honey Board Miel Pura
