This is the fist time we have used the battle ropes in Workout o't' Week.
Ropes are a brilliant high intensity exercise that improves core strength, stability, upper body strength and power as well as your mental toughness!

I have been playing around with a few flapjack recipes recently.  I wanted something that could be eaten when you have a craving for pudding, but wasn't full of calories and sugar and also something that would be nice for the kids in their lunch boxes, but had some nutritional value and not just empty calories. 

So I came up with "Reasonable Flapjacks".  They are called that for a few reasons:

1. They are reasonably tasty.
2. They are reasonably low in calories (162kcal per portion)
3. They are reasonably low in sugar (3g per portion)
4. They are reasonably high in protein (13g per portion)
5. They are reasonably vegan, meaning if you swap the whey protein for a vegan alternative it's vegan.

These flapjacks aren't going to blow your mind with their taste, nor do they have the magical ability to torch your belly fat, but we have found them reasonably useful for dealing with sweet cravings, as handy snack when you're on the go and as nutritious addition to the kids lunches. 

If you'd like to add some reasonableness to your life then here's the recipe:

Makes 16 reasonabley large sized flapjacks.

1. Mix 220g Oats with 1tsp cinnamon and 100g protein powder (we used vanilla flavour but feel free to experiment and let us know how it goes).
2. Mix in 250ml Unsweeted Almond Milk and 200g peanut butter into the oats and protein.
3. Add 2tbsp syrup and stir well.
4. Spread evenly on a greased baking tray and leave in the fridge for 30mins.
5. Heat oven to 190° and bake for 12-15 minutes.
6. Leave to cool and slices into portions. We individually wrap ours and freeze them so they're ready for lunches and mainly so we don't pick at them!
