I know what you’re thinking.  “FoodFash has turned into Kristin’s Pancake Blog”.  But I just can’t help myself.  Over the past few weekends, I’ve been inspired by a new fruit.  And by inspired I mean I wanted to shred X fruit to pieces and plop said shreds into pancake batter.

FoodFash Apple Cinnamon Chia Buckwheat Pancakes (yields 8 pancakes)

3/4 cup of buckwheat pancake mix

1/2 cup of almond milk

1 egg

1 gala apple, shredded

3 tablespoons of chia seeds

3 tablespoons of maple syrup

3/4 teaspoons of cinnamon

 I woke up so stoked for Week 2, Day 1!

I hopped out of bed, put on my running gear, and headed to Ybor City.  This was my first time running through Ybor and I really enjoyed it for a morning run.  The streets were super empty and I was shaded by pretty brick buildings.

With that said, I really struggled this morning.  I love, love, love getting a workout out of the way first thing, but I don’t have near as much energy as I do around the 5 o’clock zone.

Do you prefer morning or evening exercise?  Does one tend to be easier for you than the other?
