Vegan Chocolate Cupcake & Frosting – Fat Free!! – Rich Bitch Cooking

Recipe

1.25 cup flour
0.25 cup cocoa powder
1 ts baking powder
dash of vinegar
0.5 cup sugar (or other sweetner)⁷
1 cup milk
4 oz applesauce
1 can of black beans
4 TB cocoa powder
6 TB agave (or other sweetner)

Mix a dash of vinegar, .5 cup sugar, 1 cup milk & 4 oz applesauce in a mixing bowl

Add in 1.25 cup flour, .25 cup cocoa powder & 1 ts baking powder and whisk. I had to add a few spoons of flour to make sure the batter was thick enough.

Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full and bake at 350 for 20-35+ minutes. Keep an eye on them!

Put a rinsed can of black beans with 4 TB cocoa powder and 6 TB of agave then process til smooth. If you use less agave you might need a few drops of water added. Frosting isn’t even a fraction as sweet as traditional frosting.

Pipe frosting on completely cooled cupcakes. ENJOY

Dr. Fuhrman’s Power Plate Workout

https://www.drfuhrman.com/videos/252/powerplate-exercises-with-dr-fuhrman?srsltid=AfmBOoo-Ly-TJOM9X6J4cpD0oL15OFcQ1H_P5BWb_XWxUWCJv_2voydq

Instructions: Perform each exercise for 2 minutes. Adjust time or intensity based on your fitness level.

1. Step-Tap Left & Right

Step one foot to the side and tap, then repeat on the other side. Keep knees soft and stay light on your feet.

2. Alternating Toe Touches

Tap your toes forward, one at a time, while reaching toward them with the opposite hand. Engages your core and improves balance.

3. Touch-Backs (Reverse Step)

Step one foot backward behind you while swinging both arms forward. Do 5 reps, then switch to the other foot.

4. Deadlift with Side Straps

Grip the resistance straps on each side of the platform. Stand tall against the resistance, then release. Progress to one-legged versions for added balance training.

5. Jump Sequence Progression

  • Split-Leg Jumps: One foot on the platform, the other behind on the floor.
  • Side-to-Side Hops: Jump laterally, switching feet from side to side on/off the platform.
  • Two-Footed Jumps: Jump off the back and back up onto the platform with both feet.

Tips:

Stand with knees slightly bent at all times.

Use handrails or wall support if balance is a concern.

Hydrate before and after.

Start slow and increase intensity over time.
