“Just tell me what to eat!”

“Just tell me what to eat!”☺️

I cringe to hear that bcuz there’s NOT just 1 way that works but for the sake of satisfying the CURIOUS, here are some of the things I eat/drink👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
⁣
At one point, I had results from eating ~5 meals a day, then switched to 3 meals and intermittent fasting, but sometimes I’m back to 5 small meals a day. I don’t always intermittent fast. I don’t ALWAYS anything☺️⁣
⁣
What’s IMPORTANT is to know your body & know that IT CHANGES.⁣
⁣
It also adapts (plateaus), and therefore your nutrition has to evolve. Self-discovery as well up and down fluctuations are inevitable.. part of the discovery process, not failures.⁣
⁣
How to eat DELICIOUS foods but also see results:⁣
1. Start testing a macro nutrient ratio just for self-awareness of how your body responds⁣
2. Eat LOTS of greens, healthy fats and colorful foods⁣
3. Create healthy versions of your FAVORITE foods⁣
4. 10-20% of the time, just eat/drink whatever the hell you want. Be realistic about what is 10-20% of the time☝🏼☺️⁣
5. Add avocado to everything (note to self actually)⁣
⁣
No but seriously, I can help you!

Steel cut oats + vegan vanilla superfoods

/in , /by

Is this a YES for you, or not so much?

Steel cut oats + vegan vanilla superfoods! I usually have eggs for breakfast and my superfood smoothie as an afternoon snack but you gotta mix things up! Made this way this bowl has adaptogens, 3-4 servings fruits and green superfoods & 25g protein!

Here’s what I used:

Steel cut oats in Maple Brown Sugar flavor and I used 1.5x the water so that it was SUPER SOUP-Y! This way you can add the 1/2 of a serving of superfood mix without it being too thick! I used vegan vanilla ShakeO which has all the hard-to-get superfoods -we’re not just talkin spinach & KALE here☝🏼

You shouldn’t COOK superfood powders bcuz you’ll lose nutritional value, but you CAN add it to a warm bowl of oats! Which is what I did!

I topped it with Lilly’s salted caramel chips, 1/2 beachbar crumbles, goji berries, and a drizzle of SunButter (sunflower seed butter) <-SO GOOD!

I’d love to know if you’ll try it!

Pizza 3 Ways

/in , , , /by

Raise your hand if you love pizza, all kinds of pizza and if sharing is caring, you don’t care🙋🏼‍♀️⁣

You don’t have to give up pizza and still see results!⁣

Here are 3 ways:⁣
1. Ezekiel wrap as shown here (10-12 Min at 450°)⁣
2. Cut da Carb wrap as the crust (instructions are on their packaging)⁣
3. Pizza Chiquitas using Siete Foods wraps which are grain free and also lower in carbs than most (recipe on their site)⁣
⁣
I would’ve normally had spinach🍃, veggies, maybe even avocado on here, we just didn’t have groceries but I made it work! I ate 2 btw✌🏼! Not that YOU need to, but just keepin it full disclosure 💯

 

Are Mediterranean Tacos a thing?

/in , , , /by

Are Mediterranean Tacos a thing??? Or did I just make this up??

I used Siete Foods taco shells which are grain-free & 14g carbs for 2 shells, spring mix🍃turkey burger (but use whatever), PLAIN Greek yogurt for the sour cream -we were out of Tzatziki sauce😢, feta cheese and kalamata olives! Then I drizzled Lemon Garlic dressing by Tessemaes! 🤩

 

 

Ezekiel Wrap Pizza

/in , /by

THIS WAS STRAIGHT MONEY! In less than 10 minutes! I’ve heard you want to see more food (btw, I show more food in IG stories)!

Here’s what this is:
.
🍕 Preheat oven to 450°
🍕 Spray a cookie baking sheet/pan
🍕 Place an Ezekiel wrap on it & bake 3-4 minutes
🍕 Add your toppings! I added pizza sauce, arugula 🌿, goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes🍅, & black olives😍
.
If you’re adding cheese or toppings that need to be melted, place it back in the oven for a couple minutes.
.
If you try it or PLAN TO, can you let me know!🙏🏻😁

Double check those sugar grams

/in , , /by

How many mugs of coffee are you consuming per day?! How much sugar is in your creamer? 🧐

No judgement here☝🏼 ..especially not from me who has the bad habit of adding whip (WARNING⚠️: addicting) I just think it’s an important discussion😁.

I usually have one ☕️ in the a.m. and one in the afternoon ☕️ . I’m not advocating that☺️, I’m just sharing my truth. At night I do decaf coffee or Organifi hot cocoa.

If you’re using a creamer that’s higher in sugar, it could be spiking your insulin & setting off your cravings for the day🤦🏼‍♀️ leading you to snack/graze even though you’re not truly hungry🥨🍪🍫.

Or is it your cereal & milk setting you off?? Or maybe the drive-thru latte, or the sweetened oatmeal?

Double check those sugar grams☝🏼

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Crunch

/in , /by
SO GOOD! So many asked for this recipe when I showed it on my story the other day! You might wanna save this recipe my friend!☝

The best way I can describe this is like a Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Crunch🍪Ice Cream Blizzard🍦🍫… but it’s actually 3-4 servings of nutrient dense & low glycemic fruits and vegetables!! 🤯I had this post workout today👌🏼

Here’s the recipe I used …
* 1 1/4 cup ice
* 3/4 cup Unsweetened almond milk
* 1 Scoop Vegan Chocolate superfood
* 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
* Blend in blender

I’m sure you could achieve this with just a protein powder if you don’t care about getting in greens🍃 and micro nutrients with this🌱

Stir in…
* 2 Tbsp “Just Great Stuff” (or your peanut powder of choice)
* 1 crumbled PB Chocolate beachbar

It’s really so simple! Will you let me know if u try it please? 🙏🏻

Gimme all the sweet potatoes & avocado …2 of my faves🤩!!!

Made these today & they were STRAIGHT MONEY💰💰💰! ☝🏼

Tacos with low carb wraps!

/in , /by

Tacos🌮 ..with low carb wraps !!!

Now hold up☝🏼, don’t get overly excited ☺️.. you can’t expect these wraps to taste like a warm, soft flour tortilla🌯.. they’re NuCo coconut wraps (6g carbs per wrap) from Amazon. If you put all your favorite taco ingredients in, and focus on those tastes and the fact that it’s significantly lower in carbs, you’ll appreciate the taste more & get accustomed to it😉

👉🏼p.s. i use & prefer plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Try it!

I don’t count calories or macros but I do eat with AWARENESS of (not *restriction of*. Awareness means making sure I’m getting enough but also not TOO much) all these things: calories, macronutrients , micronutrients, ingredients in general (looking for low glycemic aka low sugar, fiber-rich carbs, no sucralose, no maltitol, no vegetable oils, no carrageenan, … just to name a few). I’m ALL FOR tracking your intake so you’re more aware of your habits and where you need to improve, if that’s where you’re at right now. I’ve journaled my intake many times over the past years & that’s why I have a fairly keen awareness. I still track once in a blue moon if I feel the need. Our nutritional needs are always changing as we age, transform, get stronger, need healing, hormones change, etc.

Do your research not only on what’s in the foods you & your kids eat/drink but what agrees/disagrees with you and what foods/drinks/activities tempt you to go off track the rest of the day/week.
