Hot Chocolate Protein Coffee.. perfection!

/in , , /by

☕💪🍫☕💪🍫☕💪🍫☕💪🍫☕
Hot Chocolate Protein Coffee.. perfection!I used “Recover” for the protein powder because it has muscle-building whey (20g) & a recovery blend (4g BCAAs & L-Glutamine) and is sweetened with stevia not Sucralose.

This was 1 scoop Recover stirred into a cup of coffee.. So EASY (whipped cream dollop & dark chocolate shavings for the pic🙌😁). 130 calories, 20g protein + 4g BCAAs, 10 carbs.

🌙 For an evening treat, you could also do without the coffee & just add hot water OR use Decaf Coffee for an evening treat w/nutritional benefits.


p.s. I’m really excited about this getting me thru cold days ahead❄, please don’t burst my bubble in any way, shape, or form 🙉🙏😁

Balance Grille (Pan-Asian Grille)

/in , , /by

I’m SO sorry if you don’t have a Balance Grille (Pan-Asian Grille) in your area but if by ANY remote chance you’re near Toledo or Perrysburg, you MUST check it out!

Balance GrillThis is a Teriyaki Chicken bowl on spring mix (instead of rice), with broccoli, carrots, red peppers, daikon radish, red onions, & I top with Liquid Braggs Amino’s instead of their Teriyaki sauce (which I tried & it’s AMAZING but not sure what’s in it).
👉This was less than 400 calories (with 0-calorie Braggs not the Teryaki sauce) & 39g protein🎯

☝Chipotle bowls are similar, I just don’t like the cilantro🍃 that’s on everything🙅.

If you DO get Chipotle, there are some healthy choices, but if you’re going to get a 1000-calorie burrito or anything that has that heap of cheese & guacamole, ⚠be sure you just finished running a marathon🏃, or you’re 6’6🚶, or you’re a very active & growing teen👨, or you’re aiming to make GAINS. If it’s once in a blue moon🌑, & it’s worth it to you, sure, go for it👊

p.s. That’s a Feta, cucumber, cranberry & Kale salad but was too full to eat it!

Brown Rice Wrap

/in , , /by

Brown Rice WrapThis is an Applegate Farms Turkey burger with grape tomatoes, avocado, olives, spring mix & non-fat plain Greek yogurt (☝bcuz it tastes like sour cream but is HIGH protein for a condiment), all on a ‪FoodForLife brown rice wrap.

These wraps are kinda chewy. If you’re used to white flour wraps, these will take some getting used to..

Most “clean” foods will grow on you in time if you give up the high sugar/carbs/sodium foods (& forget what they taste like).

And yes, these kinda fall apart when you load them up like this..

A small price to pay to see RESULTS👍 🙌 😁.

Blueberry Banana Superfood concotionI never get sick but came down with the stomach flu yesterday😝
I’m starting to feel a little better today & I think this blueberry banana concoction of superfoods will help me nourish & re-hydrate.

Recipe:

1 cup ice
1 cup Vanilla unsweetened Almond milk
1/2 cup frozen organic blueberries
1/2 banana
1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology or your favorite superfood shake!

That’s it! But sweeten if needed with your favorite sweetener (I use Vanilla “Sweet Leaf” stevia drops

When do you drink your shake?!

Kale Salad and ShakeOI shared this on my IG and like page and I’m SHOCKED at the # of people who are struggling with what they eat after work and in the evenings and they haven’t tried this yet. It’s worth a try, right?

What’s your biggest nutrition struggle & what are you doing (that’s working) to fight it?

Just getting back from the Leadership retreat, I needed to make sure nutrition was on POINT today 🎯 I do best in the evening when I have a salad & shake for dinner. If you have a small salad followed by superfood shake satisfying your chocolate/sweet craving, you might find your nighttime snacking/cravings are no longer an issue.

This was a kale salad with turkey burger from the grill, tomatoes & avocado with chocolate PB Banana shakeO 👍🍅🍃

WHITE CHOCOLATE PB & J

/in , , /by

White Chocolate PB&JIt’s the White Chocolate Peanut Butter from “Nuts n More” from GNC. The PB is melty because it’s on a toasted Ezekiel English Muffin which is still warm 🔥
It’s SO good. I don’t use the White Chocolate PB often because it’s too tempting to eat too much of it too often. ‪#‎discipline & ‪#‎moderation

pizza for dinner🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
This was SO good & filling.. OMG.

It was a wrap with Organic Valley part-skim shredded Mozzarella, tomatoes, turkey jerky sticks sliced up & pretending to be pepperoni 👌, 1/8 avocado, low sodium turkey lunch meat, & a dollop of hummus.

I put it in the oven at 400♨ for 10 minutes BEFORE adding avocado & hummus.

Less than 400 calories, low carb & sugar, healthy fat, & high protein!🎯

Hope you like it!!!🙏😉

Some of my favorite PROTEIN sources

/in , , /by

Protein SourcesCan’t see each thing🔍? Just enlarge it👌

I’m a strong believer that each person needs to find what works best for THEM but I get asked a lot how I fit in 100-125g protein per day (I’m only about 5’5″ & weigh probably about 125-128lbs.. I rarely ever weigh myself btw). I follow the recommended guideline for building muscle of .8g-1g of protein per pound of your ideal body weight (in other words, if you are 100 pounds overweight, don’t consume an additional 100g protein per day).

I don’t think these need a description but if you wonder how/why/when I eat them, I’m putting together “A TYPICAL DAY” document of my meals which you can download📥.

Come back to my page here bcuz I’ll have the link to that within the week.

Please let me know if this is helpful 🙏😉

Got it from Anderson’s (CostCo has it too!) as recommended from watching “Tiffany Cathey Fitness” on 🍐scope! She’s Tiffany Cathey on Facebook. She has to eat Gluten & Dairy free so a lot of her content is great recipes for those who are gluten & dairy-free. Check her out!👌
