Protein Pudding

Use this OCCASIONALLY only as a treat because it's so good I could eat way too much.

1 package Jello fat free chocolate pudding
2 scoops whey or casein protein - chocolate or peanut butter flavour (such as IsoFlex Peanut Butter)
2 tbsp coconut flour
2 tbs ground flax
2 tsp chia seeds

Prepare with 1 cup lactose free milk skim or 1 cup unsweetened almond milk and 1 cup light coconut milk (from fridge)

Mix with hand mixer 2-3 minutes and then add in 2 tbsp natural peanut butter (or nut butter of choice) to finish this dessert off.

If you want to make this lighter, use 2 cups of milk (omit coconut milk) and also omit the additional fats (nut butter).

Pour into 4 dishes and chill.

Trust me on this... eat ONE bowl only and share with the family. Get rid of it... Hard not to eat all four bowls even though the pudding package is only an additional 80 calories it tastes so good it feels like an added 500 calories.

To enjoy ANYTIME: keep coconut flour, coconut milk and nut butters in
For POST WORKOUT: omit coconut flour, coconut milk and nut butters and add eat with 1/2 banana

Take a Shot!

If you have ever thought about competing in physique but could benefit from a stepping stone, consider preparing and peaking for a photo shoot.

The preparation is almost exactly the same as a contest without the pressure of being on stage in front of hundreds of people and minus competitive jitters.

It can be a life altering experience.

Both of these beautiful women would tell you that it was just that! You walk away with memories and momentos of your polished physique, but more importantly it changes you from the inside out.

This shoot was done with Lisa from Vavoom Photography of Haldimand County.

Great job Nadine and Kerri! A picture speaks 1000 words.

Dreams DO Come True

After you read one of T-Nation's latest articles, Sure Fire Fixes for Weak Points: Biceps (by Bryan Krahn), most of you will understand why yesterday I experienced one of the most rewarding moments in my career thus far as a performance coach and strength & physique athlete.

It a pleasure as always to be asked my opinion as an expert about how to grow biceps, but the celebration came when I saw my picture above Arnolds as a reference to great bicep development.

Thank you to Scott Walker and Glen E. Grant for the photos. I actually have quite puny and soft arms - the pictures just make me look good.

An additional thanks to the Body Transformation team for helping me with those freaky biceps. That picture was taken 3 weeks out from OPA Provincials where I placed 2nd in Masters and Middleweight and qualified for Nationals (aiming for 2011).

Krista Qualifies for CBBF Nationals!

From DE Coach, Kate Kline PICP

I want to extend a huge congratulations to Precision Nutrition's Krista Schaus and her coaches- Precision Nutrition's Dr. John Berardi and Carter Schoffer

Krista competed this weekend at the Ontario provincials in Masters Bodybuilding and Open Middleweight divisions. It was a great weekend and Krista brought her best physique yet to the stage. She was the runner-up in both classes and qualified for Nationals in August. It was a very close call and definitely a "personal best showing" for Krista.

From Krista:

I am very pleased with my 2nd place finish in both Masters (over 35) and Open Middleweight (under 124.5 lbs) at the Ontario Physique Association National Qualifier this past Saturday in London Ontario.

Although at Arnolds last year I faced some of the best female bodybuilders in the works (Jo Stewart, Elena Shpotrun), this contest brought the tighest competitive line up I have been up against yet. The physiques were all very competitive in the Top 5. I would not want the judges' job!

I love good competition - I thrive on it and it brings out my best. It was also a great experience to place 2nd and leave me something to work for and strive to improve even more. I know some things I will work on for Nationals coming up at the end of August in Toronto.
