Another episode of "Vaughn's Kitchen: Is it even Paleo?" why yes, yes today's is Paleo.
McDonald's may have the spanish omelette breakfast thing, but I have the clean eating Spanish Scramble. Way more impressive and can be had at anytime.

Ingredients:
9 Eggs
3 Chicken breast Diced
1-2 tsp of Oregano (dried or fresh)
2 tsp Paprika
a pinch of Saffron (optional)
2 Capsicum diced finely
Half Spanish onion
2 Zuchinni diced finely
2 Tomatoes diced
Other options could be broccoli, mushrooms, baby spinach, cherry tomatoes or whatever you feel like adding to it.

Directions:
1. In a bowl whisk eggs oregano, paprika and saffron, set aside.
2. In a large pan, heat oil and add chicken and spanish onion until cooked through. (about 5 minutes)
3. Add vegetables and cook through (about 3 minutes)
4. Pour egg mixture over the top and continue to stir until fluffy.
5. BOOM! Spanish breakfast ala awesome. Eat it knowing you're eating well.


 (Biceps that large not required to whisk eggs but do make it easier.)

Preparation is the key to eating well. Knowing what you are going to eat rather than winging it and buying that chocolate because you're unprepared or just cooking pasta because it's quick and easy. Take the time this week to cook something that will last you a couple of days.

Congratulations to Jack in his effort over the weekend at the Made of Steel challenge!
Re-doing Helen today guys to see how you go.

3 Rounds for time of:
1 Macca's Run

Hey everyone, hope you're looking forward to tomorrow's christmas party. Kicks at 4:30.
Today though we finally have another episode of 'Vaughn's Kitchen: Is it even Paleo?' with a guest chef appearance by one of our own: Michaela!
For those of you that have tried her protein ball snacks you know they're awesome and we are here to show you they are easy as well.

Ingredients:
2 Cups almonds
1 Scoop chocolate protein powder
1 heap tsp on cinnamon
1 tbsp LSA mix (linseed sunflower almond)
(optional) 2 tbsp Cacao powder
1 tsp Natural vanilla essence or 2 tbsp Organic Maple syrup
20 or so dates
1 handful of cranberries
1/4 cup of water
Shredded coconut for um.... garnishing....
Michaela did most of the ingredient adding by feel so play around a bit to get the flavour you want.

Directions:
1. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a food processor and blend until a fine mixture.
2. Add the dates, and vanilla/maple and blend until it starts to form a stickier mixture.
3. Pour in water slowly while mixing until you notice it starts to
form in big clumps around the processor.
4. Take out small amounts and roll into balls, roll them around in a bowl of shredded coconut to coat it and set in a bowl.



5. Refrigerate for a couple of hours before eating.
6. BOOM! Perfectly good protein balls bursting with flavour and goodness.




We have bench press, bent over rows, running and burpees today. Come in and have fun.
