Hey Chicks,

At FIT CHICKS Academy we love seeing  students and  grads in the Fitness & Nutrition Expert Program (FNE) in action, creating their own fierce workouts and healthy recipes.

Today we are thrilled to share this recipe for you from soon to be Certified Fitness & Nutrition Expert  Kausar Rasul.

Kausar  created this recipe for one of the assignments in the Nutrition Module of the FNE program, and excited to introduce Kausar and her delicious recipe with you. Take it away!


My name is Kausar Rasul. I pursued a career in Biochemistry and worked for a while but never felt so fulfilled and passionate. 2012 after giving brith to my first child I decided to stay home with her. Fitness had always been my niche, since I struggled with weight my whole teenage years and followed by that had two pregnancies.  I stated teaching Zumba when my daughter was 1.5 and I was a stay at home mom. I really loved teaching and after birth my son I continued to teach and started to offer onsite childcare and  was able to build my own community of moms with small kids like mine.

In August of 2017 I was able to launch my fitness company Golden Sneaker. I enrolled in one of the fitness schools to pursue my dream career in fitness but all I received was a book that I needed to finish and take test in order to become a group fitness instructor and Personal trainer. I was very disappointed and for 6 months I didn’t even finish the first chapter. I will always owe this to my friend Dougmary who is also my business partner for introducing me to FIT CHICKS. This course has changed my life. I absolutely loved the structure. I finished the Nutrition section during my birthday week 2nd week of January. And one week later I started flexible dieting IIFYM. And since than I have lost 10 pounds in 7 weeks. I have learned so much about nutrition in these weeks. I know by heart how put together my meals even if I am not using My Fitness Pal. This was one of the biggest transformations I have had since I can remember. I eat a lot more than I did. I have more energy I have zero cravings. It is astonishing. I feel like a fitness professional and getting into a good shape is totally helping build more self confidence in doing what I love. So many reached out to me about what program I am using to have such amazing results.

I ABSOLUTELY love this program, and all the information its spreading all around the world. Thank you so much ladies. I feel so grateful to be part of this beautiful community.

 

East Chicken Cauliflower Meatballs

This dish has been a great hit in my household. My struggle to feed vegetables to my kids is finally over. WE ALL LOVE MEATBALLS. And we enjoy it with quinoa pasta, brown rice or whole wheat spaghetti. I usually make this is in bigger batches and freeze so when its time to eat we pop it in the toaster oven or cook with some sauce and enjoy it.
