Karena and Katrina are the founders of Tone It Up. The two best friends and fitness gurus reside in Southern California now. The duo has been featured in magazines like Self, In Style, and Shape. With both of them having a career background in health and fitness they were ideal candidates to create this expanding empire. Tone It Up is really a community of women all striving for a healthier lifestyle, inside and out. The TIU team has a huge following on Instagram @ToneItUp and @KarenaKatrina, their posts range from recipes, fitness routines, to their everyday life- aside from social media you can find them on toneitup.com. College students tend to get off track with the whole “healthy lifestyle” their nutrition plans are easy to follow and convenient, leaving no excuse for college students that are constantly on the go. As of late my girlfriends and I have been OBSESSED with protein pancakes because they are delicious and they are good for you! And it just so happens Tone It Up has their very own protein called “Perfect Fit.” Here’s a little recipe featured on the tone it up website:
Perfect Fit Pancake-
Ingredients:
· ¼ cup egg whites
· 1 scoop Perfect Fit protein
· ½ banana (mashed)
· 1 tsp cinnamon
· 1 tbs flaxseed
· Blueberries
Mix all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Using olive oil or any non stick spray of your choice, I prefer coconut oil, spray the pan and cook on medium heat. Cook the Perfect Fit pancake just like any other pancake; peek inside with a fork to check if it’s done. Once cooked, garnish with sliced strawberries and optional powdered stevia, agave or organic maple syrup.
