Welcome to day 10 of the Lose 8 challenge. I had a little extra time this morning, so I decided to mke the 15 minute oatcake. I had to ad a little Rachel love to it though.
Oatcake a la Rachel
I love this recipe. It is so easy and it kind of taste like french toast. First, place 1/2 cup one minute oats in a food processor and grind into flour. Mix oat flour with 4 egg whites, 1 dash sea salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. Fold in 1/3 cup blueberries. Cook like you would a regular pancake. In a bowl mix 1/4 cup greek yogurt with a little vanilla extract & I used a drop of stevia (optional). Drizzle with 1 teaspoon maple syrup.
And as promised I will tell you my favorite treadmill workout.

Fitness Fitting Me 
Hi hi hi!
How do you remember the work out?
Do you keep the magazine on the treadmill?
Also, what kind of food processor, blender and mixer do you have? I was thinking about investing in a Vitamix..
Hey Cara! I have done this workout so many times that I have it memorized! But when I first get a workout I usually write the steps down on a little piece of paper and take it with me to to gym. This way I can sneak a peek and the paper isn’t so bulky that it will cover the timer or the incline on the treadmill. You can still see the settings.
Oh! I would love a vitamixer! They are supposed to be the shiznit, but they are super expensive. They are probably worth the investment.
I have 2 cuisine art food processors, a small one for lttle things and a large one for food commitments! The small one will run you about $40. Sign up for bed bath & beyond coupons and you could get it for $30. I also have a magic bullet that I just got from kohl’s. It is so handy for smoothies ad chopping. Worth the investment and it doesn’t take up a lot of space. My advice is get it at kohl’s wheb you get a 30% off coupon & you can get it for $42.
