An apple a day…
It is no big secret that the majority of our members are the awesome ladies of Get Fit NH Bootcamp. However we do have quite a few men joining our ranks, and I snapped a few shots of our Concord guys (and a few ladies too) getting it done, just to prove it!
A special thanks today goes to Steve, who put one of our Referral Rewards cards in the hands of his friend Rich, who then joined him at bootcamp. That earned Steve a cool $50.00 bill this morning – Not Too Shabby! If you’ve run out of cards (or don’t know what I am talking about) please ask us and we will get some into your hands!
I had a great time recently visiting our local apple orchard with my three youngest kids. It was a perfect autumn day with a spectacular view was topped off by wonderful apples. Macintosh, Mollys, Red Delicious, and about a hundred other varieties filled the trees. I couldn’t ask for a better morning or a healthier example to give my kids. We walked up endless rows of trees picking as we went. The apples were delicious. There is nothing like eating a freshly picked apple.
Who knew? An activity totally centered around food and very healthy!
We liked it so much we are going to do it again, and we want those of you who can to join us Friday, September 25th at 11:00am at AppleView Orchard in Pittsfield. Bring a lunch for a picnic on the grounds. For a map to the orchard, click here…
Now I need some recipes to preserve some of these apples. Does anyone have a good apple recipe to share? One of my favorites is below!
Maple & Apple Walnut Oatmeal
- 1 Cup Water
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats (not instant)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 of our favorite variety apple, cut into small chunks
- 1/4 chopped walnuts
- 1 tbsp Real NH Maple Syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 scoop Vanilla Ultimate Muscle Protein
Bring 1 cup of water to a boil then add oats and cinnamon. Reduce heat to low and simmer until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in apples, walnuts and Real NH Maple Syrup. Stir remaining 1/4 of water into UMP vanilla until smooth, adding more water as desired, then pour over oatmeal. Makes a great breakfast or post-workout meal!
