Gut Health

Are you less & less tempted to eat junk or ANYTHING processed after listening to my sister’s recent podcasts with the gut health experts talking about how that impacts our ability to absorb nutrients and ability to lose fat?

All the talk of processed foods & foods that essentially turn to sugar, fueling the bad bacteria in your gut making us more susceptible to bloating, fatigue, brain fog, insomnia, disease, cancer and making our bodies more prone to holding onto unecessary FAT.. ughh Definitely makes it easier to want to eat healthier, right ?!

Anyway.. I’m never perfect but always trying to fight that urge to just order pizza & eat chocolate. I mean ..once in a while …FOR SURE

This was Tempeh, sliced sweet potatoes w/cinnamon, avocado, & baba ganoush! Baba Ganoush is very similar tasting to hummus. I just sliced the tempeh & put in the pan with olive oil (I usually prefer coconut oil & Braggs liquid aminos instead of low sodium soy but couldn’t find it since renovating our kitchen).

Almond Flour Wraps

I often use Ezekiel wraps but I am REALLY liking these almond flour (grain-free ) from Siete! Bought from Amazon of course!

They ripped a little but still stayed wrapped.

WHAT’S IN THE WRAP? WildPlanet tuna mixed with plain Greek Yogurt & mustard, greens, avocado & tomatoes .

Tacos with NuCo Coconut Wraps

Who loves tacos ?!

I’ve just decided we’re going to have tacos once a week now that I’m in love with these NuCo coconut wraps from Amazon.

They hold together better than the Ezekiel wraps I used to use AND they taste better (kinda sweet and chewy.. vs dry).

Nikki’s Vanilla Cake Batter Coconut Butter Spread

I don’t know why Tank is surprised I’m eating Nikki’s Vanilla Cake Batter Coconut Butter Spread again .

And #1 question is always “what do you put it on?” to which I answer “a spoon ” I’ve put it in my Shakeology before but I’d rather savor it by itself. And the #2 question is always “where can I get it?” to which I answer “Amazon”.

BEWARE: Not everyone agrees this is amazing. My parents thought this tasted horrible !!
