No, this was not dinner silly! This was just an evening snack!
I was sooo chilled after my freezing cold run🏃💨 & shake tonight that I needed some hot decaf coffee (yah, with WHIP ☁ lemme have a lil fun🎉) & some hot edamame🌱!!
We had Pizza last night & I ate a ridiculous amount as I usually do.. without guilt because I rarely splurge big like that & it was planned. But today I needed to get back on track
My afternoon meal was AMAZING!
This was 380 calories, 29g protein, 8g sugars …but 7 of those from superfood fruits in Shakeology & 1g in the PB. Counts are excluding the mini brownie crumbles bcuz it was so little (if you’re still concerned, do leaps across the kitchen while u blend🏃) -see Carolyn Bydlowski Hasley for a great #fitbrownie recipe.

Blend Well!!
What MEAL is your weakness???
This was my quick lunch today in case healthy food pics inspire you to eat better!
I don’t do tuna often but in a time crunch, this is great! Low sodium tuna, mixed with a little mustard & plain Greek yogurt (instead of mayo👌), tomatoes🍅 & some guacamole on a toasted Ezekiel muffin. DELISH!😍
How’d I do with this pear??
🍐⭐🍐⭐🍐⭐🍐⭐🍐⭐🍐⭐🍐
I have egg whites (with 1 whole egg) & spinach, usually with avocado, tomatoes & salsa pretty much everyday! Today I skipped salsa but added a little organic shredded cheese. It’s one of my ways of getting in another 25g protein plus the serving of spinach & a healthy fat (1/4 avocado)👌

What are your kid-friendly ideas??
Moms… Idk about you but I find it a huge struggle to NOT overdo carbs in my son’s lunches & meals😏 Even if your kid is a healthy weight, trust me, bad habits get OUTTA CONTROL & before you know it they’re not developing muscle like they should, they’re irritable, they’re getting sick, & as young adults they start having weight issues & disorderly eating habits.
Our son is 13 & gone are the days when he was a toddler & I was like💁”my baby LOVES carrots, broccoli, berries & chicken!” I FOR SURE thought I would be crowned #MomOfTheYear 👑Once they’re a teen, things change. He still likes those things but let’s be honest, carb snacks, high-sugar juices & processed foods are EVERYWHERE & it’s our job to make sure they’re “special occasion” treats not every-day-treats🚫
We have to help them find new healthy foods he likes, educate him & help understand balance. Don’t get me wrong, we are NOT perfect..omg, far from it (ordering pizza for the SuperBowl 🍕🙈) but I never give up on the DAILY habits – just as I don’t give up on myself. At the same time, if his lunch is packed TOO healthy, there will just be a MAJOR TRADE SESH 🍪👀 at school or he’ll just pitch it & go hungry (bcuz no one will trade for his healthy options😾🍆..lol).
So my husband Matt & I have to be realistic about how our food standards are stricter than his. I’m ok with that but I know some will disagree.
Be careful if you’re packing lunches that are amounting to carb overload because you have too many of the following : fruit juice, pretzels, chips, yogurt, granola bar, white bread sandwich, banana, trail mix, etc. Add up the sugar grams & carbs on all that!😱 I’m not saying all of these things are horrible nor am I saying the foods I’m listing are the very healthiest.. But the healthiest options may cause total food rebellion🍟😵.
I’m just sharing ways i’ve cut back on a few of the processed carbs & substituted some other items w/fiber (Apple), healthy fats (peanut butter, 👉SuperSeedz Sea-Salt flavored Pumpkin seeds from Amazon, nuts, hummus) & protein (eggs, jerky, reduced fat cottage cheese).
Plz share YOUR ideas & “like” or “share” if this is helpful.🙏🏻😘
We all want quick, healthy & easy, right??
I had lunch before at 10:45am over here!💁🏼 If I’m hungry, and it’s not just a dumb craving🙄, I eat!! Otherwise I’ll snack uncontrollably!
This was 2 slices of Applegate Farms turkey, 1/4 mashed avocado, tomato, lettuce & mustard on toasted Ezekiel English Muffin (found in your grocery store freezer section).
From the #hammerandchisel meal plan this was 2 yellows, 1/4 red, and 1 blue. Mustard is a freebie (yay!) I don’t count the 2 little lettuce leaves & the slice of tomato.. That’s just gettin silly in my opinion☺.

LET’S TALK CREAMER (if you’re a coffee drinker like me🙋).
Have you seen or tried this new Hazelnut flavored creamer by Califia??
☝🏻I’m not promoting it; its new to me, I’m just asking😉. So far I like it just as much as blending coconut oil in a blender (this is WAY more convenient) & I like it more than just adding unsweetened vanilla almond milk & I like it better than coconut milk creamer. Plus it’s carrageenan free (not all creamers are) & seems “clean” ..
This whole scene in front of me just makes me happy!!💓 How bout you??
I love my new #GirlBoss mug from Liza Simrell !!🙏🏻😘 And this egg white sandwich with sweet peppers, baby spinach & hummus on an Ezekiel English muffin.. LOVE😍. #breakfastforlunch 🎯
Would this be something your kids would like too??
I put it in the oven on convection mode 400 degrees for about 5-10 minutes just to melt the cheese & make the Ezekiel wrap a little less soft.
I get Ezekiel wraps from the freezer section from most grocery stores. I put the tomatoes, avocado & other toppings on AFTER it’s out of the oven.
Of course top it with WHATEVER healthy topping you & your family like but this is 1 serving for me!
Pizza is pretty much my favorite food! 🍕❤🍕❤
Just a lil bit of what we buy for groceries. We’re following the H&C meal plan & loving it!
The key is what we don’t buy.. Because I have a monster appetite & practically NO CONTROL if it’s in the house🙅What about you?
