They say South Asians have ‘bad genetics’ for health and fitness. Higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, slower muscle growth—you name it. But I refuse to accept that as my story. I’m here to prove that genetics are NOT a life sentence. With the right habits, mindset, and discipline, we can break every stereotype and redefine what’s possible. Let’s be the change. Let’s set the new standard. 💪🏽🔥 #Fitness #fit #exercise #inspiration #motivation #abs #aesthetic #southasian #desi #healthylifestyle

Healthier, higher protein and low calorie substitute for ice cream bars. My own version of this incredible summer snack using only 5 ingredients.👇🏼 - Ingredients: • 2 cups frozen dark cherries (or frozen fruit of choice) • 1 cup fat free greek yogurt, plain • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I used myprotein) • 1/2 heaping cup dark chocolate chips (I used lily’s) • 2 tsp coconut oil OR butter (to melt chocolate) - Directions: • chop frozen fruit into smaller pieces. • mix fruit with yogurt and protein powder. • using a spoon, scoop approx. 6-8 clusters onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (this will prevent it from sticking). Freeze 30 mins until solid. • melt dark chocolate with oil/butter by either: adding it to a bowl and placing it on top of a steaming pot of hot water, stirring until melted. OR microwave in 30 second intervals and mixing until melted. Add 1-2 tbsp of milk if you need to increase volume of chocolate. • remove clusters and dip them into chocolate as fast as you can. This is key, otherwise the chocolate will quickly become solid again. You can also drizzle the chocolate over your clusters instead. • eat right away or place into freezer for 10-20 more minutes for clusters to harden. - NOTES: • You can substitute the protein powder for a flavoured greek yogurt or plain greek yogurt and sweetener… but I prefer the extra kick of protein! • There are lots of variations with fruit, yogurt, and protein flavours. Feel free to experiment! • When storing clusters and eating for another day, you will need to let them thaw for a few minutes before biting into it so they can become a little soft again! - Yields: 8 clusters - Calories/Macros (per cluster): Approx. 92 Calories 11.5g Carbs 6.5g Protien 3.5g Fat - - - #Recipe #dessert #homecooking #healthy #healthysnacks #healthyfood #healthyrecipes #icecream #chocolate #yogurt #snack #lowcalorie #protein #eatclean
