There are many recipes on the internet for the popular banana cake. I have tried different recipe for this cake and I like variant the best. You can make this cake as sweet as you like by playing with the amount of stevia you use. You can also try to add honey or other sweeteners if you like.

  • 100ml almond milk

Get comfortable being uncomfortable

Last week my manager at work told me: 'Get comfortable being uncomfortable'. I shared with here I was having some difficulties bringing a project to the next level, while other projects went very smooth and easy. It is funny how closely this is related to working out. While working out there are always these exercises when doing them, you want to call all bad names to everybody and everything around you. This is where you have to be mentally strong and push yourself. Only than you will improve. 


By getting out of your comfort zone your are developing yourself in areas that you have not explored yet. You can improve yourself in these areas and you will grow. When you will not challenge yourself you will stop learning and growing. 

Never stop learning and growing! 
Get comfortable being uncomfortable.
