However, I do have a great recipe today that will kill that sweet tooth....AND IT'S HEALTHY!! Yes you hear right, it's healthy. I have a few updates before I give ya'll the recipe of the week.If you follow me on facebook then you know about the two events happening June 29th and June 30th. If you don't follow me yet, please like my Zumba page for the latest updates. ( Zumba With Marysol) If you don't have a facebook then here is the update....

June 30th- Zumba to save Jonathan!! This is a Zumbathon event to help raise money for my cousin's husband. He is extremely ill and is in need of a kidney transplant.  He also isn't getting the required treatments(dialysis)as needed. My cousin, Maritza and her husband Jonathan have only been married 2 years and for the last couple of months they have struggled to keep Jonathan healthy. He is only 26 and in bad shape. Being that I'm not rich, the only way I could think of helping them out was to host a ZUMBATHON to help bring Jonathan back to good health. I will have the help of Dalila and Roci. So PLEASE come out and join us.
With God, Prayer, Zumba and your participation we can help save Jonathan's life. Hope ya'll can make it.

 A lot going on but all for a great cause!!!  Next on the agenda, the RECIPE. Today I have another recipe by my favorite body builder, Jamie Eason. This is her famous Carrot Cake Protein Bars. They have only 120 calories(2 per serving), 6g of carbs(per square)12g of PROTEIN! Protein is important after a HARD work out. So here it goes...

What you need:
1-1 1/2 oat flour
2 scoops vanilla whey protein(try to find low sugar, low EVERYTHING if possible)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 ground nutmeg
2 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp baking cocoa
3 egg whites
3/4 splenda
1/2 cup of ricotta cheese
1/2 cup of butter( can't believe its not butter will work)
(2) 4oz carrot baby food (try to find the one that contains the least sugar)
Non-stick pan (I found that using a glass pan didn't work)

In bowl #1: Add..
1-1 1/2 oat flour
2 scoops vanilla whey protein(try to find low sugar, low EVERYTHING if possible)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp baking cocoa (this is actually an ingredient for the chocolate protein bars but I found it gave the protein bars more flavor. No sugar so no harm)
1/4 ground nutmeg
***mix together***

2nd Bowl:
3 egg whites
3/4 Splenda
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup of butter(melted will work better when mixing everything)
(2) 4 oz carrot baby food
***Mix together***

Pour the ingredients from the 2nd bowl into the 1st bowl, whisk both bowl ingredients together then pour into non-stick baking pan.(22-28 minutes @ 350 degrees)

Here is a picture on how to use a whole egg for egg whites. Crack the egg, switching the yoke back and forth into each side until all the egg white fall into the bowl.

Here is the end results! Carrot Cake Protein Bars. Now cut into little squares and ENJOY!!!

 Have a great night ladies! Please comment and update me with your thoughts. With no feed back I have no clue if these blogs help. Good night xoxo Marysol
