Some days you just need something to satisfy your sweet tooth or peanut butter craving. Today was one of those days for me. This morning was my chest and back day with my personal trainer. I don’t so much like the chest part of chest and back day. It’s all I can do not to cry when Emmett tells me 10 more push ups. And this is after we’ve already been through several cycles of push ups along with a gazillion other chest exercises. (OK- before you start to think I’m some kind of fitness warrior, I’m going to fess up to doing girlie push ups, with my knees down. If I can ever do real push ups, I will feel like I have climbed Mt Everest. My body is just so not designed for such things. Now I can rock the leg exercises and the core exercises, but my upper body… not so much.)
But all the pain is worth it because in just 7 short weeks, I almost don’t recognize my upper body.
After such a hard workout, I’m sometimes inclined to treat myself- just a little bit. I don’t want to overdo it and cancel out all my hard work. This snack is the perfect sweet treat, plus it’s easy to prepare and your kids will love it.

I feel the same way about upper body, especially push ups. So hard! I could squat and lunge for an hour straight, but I’m a total upper body wimp, haha. These look so delicious, and like the perfect light dessert treat to satisfy my sweet tooth at the end of the day!
