Bone broth…. yes or no??

Bone broth…. yes or no??

Ok so if you follow my brother in law Bret Johnson aka “the hangry chef” on that other platform, you may know he makes really great healthy meals & he doesn’t like you to ask questions😮.. well, he likes it, but he likes giving a smarta$$ answer better, ☝🏼cuz he’s hangry.

So I didn’t want to ask toooo many questions about what he was putting in his bone broth (for gut health)☺️ I didn’t have everything on hand that he uses, so I just put some Avocado oil in a pan & cooked up a 1/4 onion, 1 tsp minced garlic, some Himalayan Pink Salt & garlic Flavor God. Then I added ~32oz water & heat it up (didn’t even bring to boiling), & added in 2 scoops bone broth. Then I strained out the onions.

I loved the taste!! I stored the rest in the fridge. It made enough to make about 3 mugs ☕️☕️☕️

If you want Chalene’s code to save on that broth, it’s TeamChalene on their site (the bone broth company).

Cinnamon Sugar toast

cinnamon sugar toastWhat was your favorite childhood food???

My favorites were …get ready… hot dogs, pizza, pop tarts, cereal & cinnamon sugar toast!

Yes, mom cooked us some healthy meals & both parents stressed the importance of fitness (both very into fitness & mom was also a fitness instructor) …I’m just saying those were my FAVORITE things to eat …up until I had to lose weight for the ballet company. That’s what forced me at such a young age (14-16 yrs old) to learn about weight loss, fitness and how our metabolisms work. But to this day, I still love my cinnamon “sugar” toast… just modified

So this was one of my small QUICK & EASY meals/snacks (whatever you want to call it) today… Cinnamon Raisin toasted Ezekiel English Muffin topped with a tiny bit of coconut oil, cinnamon & stevia💗. I had some finely chopped salad left over from yesterday & that has like 7 different veggies in it.

Finely Chopped Salads

Finely chopped saladThis is how much I love finely chopped salads!!!

Finely chopped makes SUCH a difference in taste, don’t you agree??

I have no idea why they’re better when chopped. I make these myself with my salad chopper OR I pick one up ( a HUGE one & make it last 2 days). Everything is better when it’s finely chopped🔪! I put a sprinkle of reduced fat feta on top & some avocado! I didn’t even need dressing👌🏽

Almond Milk

almond milkDo you do almond milk??

Btw, this SAVED us so many times on this Summit trip! I add oatmeal when I want/need it to be more calories. There’s only so many times you want to order room service or go out to eat when you’re away for 5 days. At least 1 superfood shake a day🍃🍒🍏🍓, plus lots of water & great workouts, helps keep away added weight & bloating when traveling 👍🏼

Recovery snack

recovery snackJust a pretty lil snack🍓! Plain Greek Yogurt sweetened to taste with stevia, 1/4 scoop Chocolate “Recover” (mixed with a little water until it’s a pudding texture💗), & 4-5 strawberries! It’s 23g protein because of the Greek Yogurt & Recover pudding!
And …no added sugars!

Are you eating too MUCH …or too little??

TunaBoth can sabotage results! Believe me I know! At one time years ago, I wasn’t eating enough ..was practically starving myself. Now I estimate calories to ensure I’m getting ENOUGH to fuel my workouts, my muscles, my metabolism, my energy (& honestly, I usually go over the amt of food my body actually needs ..bcuz I LOVE food & i’m not afraid to overeat a little if it’s at least healthy). But don’t just take note of what *I eat, EVERYONE’s needs for total calories and carbs, proteins & fats are unique! And GOALS are unique!

For lunch I had this plus 2 hrs later I had a chocolate chunk quest bar..totaling roughly 600 calories & packed with good carbs, protein & healthy fats (there’s 1/4 avocado on that tuna sandwich made w/an Ezekiel English muffin). I didn’t get in my veggies, but I’ll easily get in 6 servings by tonight with my Shakeology & salad later (Shakeology has 3-4 servings of fruits & vegetable superfoods).

If you’re DIALING INTO your nutrition HARD because you want great results FASTER, I’d recommend counting macros or using the Portion Fix meal plan (container system making counting macros easier) which comes with programs like 21DF or Hammer & Chisel
