Embrace #TransformationTuesday by getting in a good workout and eating healthy. Try this treadmill workout to get the blood moving and start your journey to a better you. Also try out this awesome healthy zucchini bread recipe made with Greek yogurt from Chelsea's Messy Apron!

• 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (I used low-fat)
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons very ripe mashed banana
• 1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup oat flour (blended oats)
• 1 cup white flour (or use white-whole wheat)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup lightly packed grated zucchini
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts, optional

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour one bread pan.
2. In a bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract (scale depending on love for vanilla flavor - I like it strong), 1 large egg, coconut oil (measured when melted), and honey.
3. In a small bowl, mash the banana really well. The banana is very important for binding of the bread and a lower calorie sweetening. The more ripe - the better.
4. Stir in the banana and brown sugar.
5. In a separate bowl, stir together the oat flour (measured AFTER blending. I used regular old fashioned or quick oats and quickly pulse them in a blender or food processor until they resemble flour. Then measure and add to the bowl), white or white-whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
6. Add the dry to the wet and mix until just combined. Over-mixing will result in dense bread.
7. Stir in the grated zucchini (make sure you have thoroughly dried the zucchini to keep it from being too wet/watery in the finished bread) and chocolate chips if desired.
8. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and top with more chocolate chips if desired.
9. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick when inserted into the center comes out clean and the bread has begun to slightly pull away from the sides. Barely under-cooking the bread will yield a softer and slightly denser bread. (I pulled mine out at 43 minutes.)
10. If needed tent some tin foil over the top to keep the top from over-cooking.

Our #kozicomfort blog series was so popular earlier this year that from time to time we like to bring back our posts in order to share the amazing health benefits of the 12 different herbs and grains we use in our all-natural formula. We take great pride in bringing you the best possible alternative aromatherapy treatments. Today we take a look back at the benefits of spearmint and how its use will help you be KOZI.

AROMATHERAPY BENEFITS OF SPEARMINT:
#KoziComfort Spearmint! The aromatherapy benefits of #spearmint are similar in nature to those of peppermint, but spearmint is preferred by many as it’s smell is less intense. The spearmint has pain-relieving properties especially beneficial in alleviating muscle pain by reducing inflammation and allowing blood flow. We use spearmint in all of our Kozi & Kozi Natural wraps as a nerve supporting agent as well. Although the scent of spearmint is less intense than that of the peppermint, it’s uplifting scent helps to energize and invigorate the senses. This less intense smell is due to the fact that spearmint doesn’t contain as much menthol, about half a percent compared to peppermint’s 40%! Native to the Mediterranean, the ancient Greeks used spearmint to whiten teeth, it was originally used in Ayurvedic medicine (holistic medicine) for digestive problems, headaches and skin irritations (as it still is today).  Spearmint is also effective at reducing headache symptoms as the menthol stimulates blood flow helping you to #relax #release #restore
