Your girl isn’t gonna be a movie star just yet 😂
Not taking it off the cards, but right now we gotta adult, pay some bills and get back to regularly scheduled programming.

Still saying yes to opportunities that align with me, so keep watching. Just no Hollywood… yet. 👀 by @itsmedanni_g

All of this was shot on a Sunday in about 2 hours. A few different tops, a light and a curtain for a backdrop. That’s it

You really don’t need much. Just start!

Trust me, it can only be good for you and your business.

Maybe you’re scared, worried about what people will think, a little embarrassed or you just don’t know where to start.

Whatever it is, if you need a little help, hit me up. We can talk ❤️ by @itsmedanni_g

Cravings vs Goals: Episode 2
MAGNUM 🍫

Okay, these were GOOD 😮‍💨

If you’ve been following this series, you know the goal isn’t to make a dessert that tastes “healthy.” I have a sweet tooth. I want the actual dessert 😂 I just like finding ways to make it fit my goals a little better.

For this one, Chobani Zero Sugar Vanilla makes the creamy base:

🍌 1 ripe banana
🥣 1 Chobani Zero Sugar Vanilla yogurt
🥜 2 tbsp peanut butter

Blend, divide into 3 Magnum moulds and freeze for about 4 hours.

For the coating:
🍫 Dark chocolate
🥥 1 tsp coconut oil
🌰 About 20 crushed almonds

Melt, coat and let them set.

Makes 3 Magnums.

And you can definitely play around with this one. Chobani has so many different flavours, so switch the yogurt and you basically have a different Magnum.

If more protein is your goal, Chobani also has a 20g protein option, so use that instead to bump up the protein.

Estimated per Magnum:
Approx. 220 calories
9g protein
24g carbs
12g fat

Macros are an estimate because I didn’t use all of the chocolate coating.

Honestly, if you gave me this and told me it was the “goals” version of a Magnum…I’m not complaining 😂

Be that woman.

The one who gets knocked down and gets back up. The one who has hard days, struggles through it, questions herself sometimes… but somehow, she’s still here.

I don’t think being tough means everything comes easy to you. I think it means when it doesn’t, you keep going anyway.

And eventually people start looking at you like…

This MF really just won’t quit 😂

Exactly. ❤️ by @itsmedanni_g

The stuff I get “stuck” doing since I got the Tank 😂

More pick ups, more beach days, more “Danni, can you carry this?” 😂 But truthfully, I love it.

I like being the friend who can help. I like having the space to throw everything in and go. And I love that my Tank fits into all the different parts of my life so easily.

So keep the favours coming… I might actually enjoy them 😂

I have a sweet tooth. A serious one 😂 And I’m not giving up dessert just because I have goals.

So welcome to Cravings vs Goals, where I take the things I’m craving and figure out how to make them fit the goals instead of fighting them.

First up: Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches 🍫🍦

And I promise you, this does NOT taste like a “healthy dessert.” If I’m having dessert, I need it to actually taste like dessert 😂 This did.

I used @chobani Zero Sugar Vanilla, but you can play around with the different flavors, and they even have 20g protein options if you want more protein.

Here’s what I used:

Chocolate base:
¾ cup almond flour
½ cup cocoa powder
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp almond milk
3 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla

Ice cream:
1 banana
1 Chobani Zero Sugar Vanilla yogurt
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla

Press half the chocolate mixture into your dish and freeze. Add the mixed ice cream layer and freeze again. Top with the remaining chocolate mixture, freeze until firm, then cut into 4.

Approx. macros:
Full recipe: 1,430 calories | 46g protein
4 sandwiches: 360 calories each

The freezing requires a little patience, but the actual recipe is SO easy. I basically needed a bowl and a fork 😂

For me, the goal right now is training for HYROX, and I still want my dessert. This satisfied the craving without throwing off what I’m working towards. And you definitely don’t need to be on a weight-loss journey to make it.

This is only the first one 👀 I have more coming, and I’ll be dropping a new Cravings vs Goals every Monday.

So be real… would you actually make this? 😂 And if there’s a dessert you want me to put my spin on, tell me below.

No trending audio. No headphones. Just the clanking of weights, heavy breathing, a few grunts and me getting through it.

I take my training seriously because this is my time. For 30 minutes, 45 minutes or an hour, I’m not answering your call or replying to your message. I’m reminding myself how strong I am and what I’m fighting for, both inside and outside of the gym.

Training prepares me for more than a workout. Every time I push through something difficult, I remind myself that I can handle the hard things life will inevitably bring too.

So this is your reminder, ladies: go lift something heavy. Go sweat. Challenge yourself until you think, “Wow, that was tough… but I did it.”

Because you can do hard things. Don’t ever forget that. taken in Surfside Wellness Centre by @itsmedanni_g

If you’re a content creator, you should definitely try this trend. And even if you’re not, I think you should too.

If you’re anything like me, your head is always down, working towards whatever comes next. Sometimes everything starts to feel like a blur, and the things you’re rushing past are often the same things you once wished and prayed for.

I also don’t think we realize how much we change from one season to the next, or even from month to month. As women, we feel those changes in our bodies, but they also show up in the choices we make and where we decide to put our energy. I’ve changed so much, and making this really allowed me to see that.

It was strangely therapeutic. It gave me a chance to look back at who I was and appreciate who I am now. It also made me wonder who I’m becoming and what my future self might have to say to me one day.

So try it. Not just because it makes good content, but because it gives you a reason to slow down and recognize how far you’ve come. ❤️ by @itsmedanni_g

The spa still isn’t completely finished, but we moved in anyway. And this is officially the biggest Rejuvenate space we’ve ever had.

Some of my clients have been with me for more than ten years. They’ve watched me grow from working out of a room in a house to now owning an entire building for Rejuvenate. Thank you for sticking with me, trusting me and giving us so much grace while we finish the space around you.

Being an entrepreneur in Barbados is not easy, especially as a woman. There was no trust fund or family money behind this. Rejuvenate started with an idea and a loan to purchase my first machine. Everything you see has been built little by little, client by client.

Moving into this space has also made me think about what growth needs to look like in this season. Saying yes has brought me so many businesses and opportunities, and I’m not going to stop being open to new things. I’m just learning to be more intentional about what gets my time and energy, because sometimes growth also means saying no to one thing so you can give more to something else.

I’m a medical esthetician, an entrepreneur, a content creator, an athlete, a fitness enthusiast, a competitor and whatever else I decide to become next. So stick around for everything Danni G. If you’re along for the journey, I love you. If it’s not for you, that’s cool too. taken in Rejuvenate Spa by @itsmedanni_g

One of my secrets to getting my workouts in? I put them in my diary like an appointment, because that’s exactly what they are.

My schedule is crazy and I’m just as busy as the next person, so I can’t rely on “getting to the gym if I have time.” I need a programme, structure and something to work towards. That’s one of the reasons I love RUCKUP. In six weeks, the programme gets me really fit, helps me build muscle and lose a little fat. Win, win, win 😂

Your workout is an appointment with yourself, for yourself, that is going to better yourself. So put that shit in your diary and make sure you show up.

Just a little tip that helps me. Keep going 🫶🏽 taken in Surfside Wellness Centre by @itsmedanni_g
