DARK CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CAKE

This week has been rough.  We added getting up early, working out, AND doing a cleanse to our life.

I am so not a morning person.  There is no bouncing or happy, happy, joy, joy going on in my heart as I crawl out of my bed.  Usually I need to be awake for a few hours and have Spark or coffee in me before I feel like doing anything or even speaking to people.

So, heading to the gym to do dreadful things like squats, cleans, and sled pushes with other people is a stretch for me.

Then to rub salt into that wound, we are also doing a sugar and carb free cleanse for 24 days.  Veggies and protein.  I usually like to eat my veggies in things like these Chocolate Zucchini Donuts.
