Weird but really good snack!

/in , , /by

Well this was a weird but really good snack!
Yes??

A kashi toasted blueberry waffle with plain Greek yogurt (sweetened w/ all natural SweetLeaf English Toffee stevia drops from Amazon), with lil bits of apple , , & strawberry . I drizzled a little bit of “just great stuff” over it (search Amazon) & I it was great but it made this look like vomit quite honestly, so here’s the more photogenic version.

About 19.5g protein, ~20g carbs, ~2.5g fat and ~180 calories. ☝🏼No I don’t usually track macros unless I’m off track for awhile (just calculating for those who do).

Who LOVES avocado?

Who LOVES avocado? Best guac recipe?

Did you know you can test the ripeness of an avocado if that little green stem part comes off easily & it’s green underneath?

Well this one has already lost that part & it’s GRAY there = rotting

Apparently lemon or lime juice on guacamole will keep it from browning for 1 extra day.

And if an avocado just has a few brown spots, I’ve read it’s ok to cut that out & eat the rest (yay, cuz that’s what I do!)

Mint Chocolate RX Bar

/in , , /by

What’s your favorite no-sugar, nothing artificial clean treat (other than Shakeology)?

I think this mint chocolate RX bar might be my new favorite RX bar flavor! There IS some sugar in these but it’s from the dates; still kinda high at 16g but still more nutrient dense than candy, a cookie, a highly processed protein bar, etc. Believe me, I have that stuff on occasion too but am always trying to improve.

There’s no added sugars and no sucralose, maltitol or any other sugar alcohols that upset my stomach either.

Nutrionist friends… what are YOUR thoughts on these as a clean treat?? State your credentials too if you don’t mind. TIA

What I put into my coffee…

/in , /by

I love the Califia creamers !! Do you use Creamer or milk in your coffee??

It’s sold at every grocery store here now. We use their Unsweetened Almond too for our shakes & Tylers cereal. We drink coffee that’s 70% less acidic made by PureRoast☕️ (Amazon) & sweet leaf stevia (also Amazon & most grocery stores).

Don’t judge…. but I also put TruWhip in my coffee (a habit I started long ago & not ready to give up). Please know I’m not saying YOU should drink coffee & especially not saying you should load it up as I do …I’m actually not even sure what my point is other than to answer the common question of what I put in my coffee 

Delicious Snack: Yogurt and Veggies

You like???
WAIT.. this is better than it appears!

The thing that makes this a COMPLETELY delicious snack is the “Opadipity” Greek Yogurt dip in Chipotle Ranch flavor! I’m in LOVE

Idk about your Grocery store, but we got it from Kroger. And that’s Steamed broccoli because I prefer it soft (from a Simple Truth Organic bag that you microwave 4 minutes..don’t judge), avocado & tomatoes .

Healthy Lunch before Summit Rehearsal

/in , , /by

Just a pic of our lunch before my rehearsal at the convention center

I’m really so honored to be asked to speak at the Leadership portion of Summit!

As you know, I don’t particularly like public speaking but when it’s a business topic I’m passionate about teaching to others, it comes MUCH easier.

I just focus on them and the message I need to make sure they hear loud and clear vs what they may think of me as a person or as a speaker. I’m not there to be liked or put on a pedestal, I’m there to teach. And I hope people have an easier time succeeding as a result

Counting Calories and Macros

/in , /by

This was “Dinner” at about 5pm. Egg whites, spinach, tomato , a little feta & sweet potatoes. And then I had a salad around 8pm & I’ll probably have a Greek Yogurt sweetened w/stevia around 10.

I don’t count calories or macros but I have in the past so that I always have that awareness. And I DO estimate in my head if/when I’m getting OFF track

Grilling Out

/in , /by

It’s balmy out today in Ohio (sorta Sunny & 60 ) so Matt & I grilled outside for lunch ..turkey burgers & asparagus!

Working from home doesn’t suck.

Btw, I dipped this in that Opadipity Greek Yogurt (Chipotle Flavor) that I’ve talked about before. It’s
