Hey, hey!
How are you all doing today?! (If you haven’t yet, read about change your thoughts change your body <–it’ll help you have a great day, no matter what! 
)
I am doing great today for many reasons:
- Today is like a Friday for me (and only a half day of work)
- I get to teach BodyPUMP at 5:45 a.m. (I LOVE teaching early classes!)
- I get to see all my sisters this afternoon in…… (can you guess where?!!) HINT.
- And today is Thankful Thursday
Wow. I feel blessed and happy!

Another reason I am super happy today? I get to munch on my homemade, delicious whole wheat protein zucchini bread.
(Hello long name).
You know how in the Disney movie, “Hercules,” they say he’s got it all? Well, I could say the same about this bread-it’s got it all going on!
- low sugar
- high protein
- low fat
- whole wheat
- veggie packed
- delicious & easy
My husband doesn’t love zucchini in stir fries, dinners, etc., so I decided to bake it up so he’d still eat it. You’ll see, once you make it, that ANYONE would eat this yummy bread right up!

I LOVE zucchini bread! Great recipe, love
Love the protein in this too 
I am thankful for our friendship
i’ve never tried zucchini bread but I love zucchini, i just dont ever really use it in dishes for some odd reason! My dad makes this really great stew that uses it and the zucchini is usually one of my favorite parts
Congrats on your promotion!! I am grateful for you posting that stuffed peppers recipe last week because we made it last night and loved it..AND i have leftovers for lunch today
I can’t wait to make this! Our friends just brought over a huge zucchini I need to use up, so this is perfect. I’m going to add it to my list of things to do tomorrow.
Today I’m thankful that today is my Friday too!
What a great idea to add a scoop of protein powder! I just made zucchini bread yesterday, too. Definitely doing that next time.
Yes, I am a protein powder lady
Yum, this looks awesome! It looks like everyone is loving the zucchini bread lately!!
Great job on your promotion!!
And for your upcoming trip!
I’m thankful to be healthy and have beautiful family and friends from all different places who I care deeply about.
Sounds delicious and it sounds like you’re having a happy day. Life’s so rich when you embrace each and every blessing!
I agree!!
I LOVE Zucchini! I don’t like it raw, but I’ll eat it any other way!
Yummay! Out of curiosity, why did you use both baking powder and baking soda? :S I’ve only usually used one or the other. And once again thank you for your positive attitude and posts- you are definitely a huge influence of the growing positivity and happiness in my own life!
I believe it helps it rise better–keeps it fluffy
You’re welcome!
