Steel cut oats + vegan vanilla superfoods

/in , /by

Is this a YES for you, or not so much?

Steel cut oats + vegan vanilla superfoods! I usually have eggs for breakfast and my superfood smoothie as an afternoon snack but you gotta mix things up! Made this way this bowl has adaptogens, 3-4 servings fruits and green superfoods & 25g protein!

Here’s what I used:

Steel cut oats in Maple Brown Sugar flavor and I used 1.5x the water so that it was SUPER SOUP-Y! This way you can add the 1/2 of a serving of superfood mix without it being too thick! I used vegan vanilla ShakeO which has all the hard-to-get superfoods -we’re not just talkin spinach & KALE here☝🏼

You shouldn’t COOK superfood powders bcuz you’ll lose nutritional value, but you CAN add it to a warm bowl of oats! Which is what I did!

I topped it with Lilly’s salted caramel chips, 1/2 beachbar crumbles, goji berries, and a drizzle of SunButter (sunflower seed butter) <-SO GOOD!

I’d love to know if you’ll try it!

Protein Needs

/in , /by

This post isn’t ABOUT coffee, it’s about protein but hang on, it’s related ☝🏼☺️

I’ve come to realize that while it’s true that the “average American” eats a LOT of meat and gets plenty of protein given their activity levels, not EVERYONE falls in this category and some of us have to make a conscious effort to get in protein (quality protein).

I’m in THAT last category👆🏼. I aim to build muscle and if I didn’t make a conscious effort, I wouldn’t consume enough protein to maximize my efforts. In fact, if I could just eat intuitively & didn’t know any better, I think I’d just eat carbs all day🤩 & add in a protein bar & an avocado!

I have literally no desire for things like steak or burgers. Offer me THE BEST steak or a piece of bread, & without question, I’d choose the bread …if nutrition wasn’t a thing😉!

Everyone has different needs for protein as well as all other macro & micro nutrient needs, so I’m NOT here to say YOU need more bcuz YOU might actually need significantly LESS.

But if you’re physically active, you strength train intensely🏋🏼‍♀️ & you KNOW you struggle fitting in protein the way I once did, here’s some of the ways I fit in protein in case it helps:

• 10g Collagen scoop in my afternoon coffee
• 22g in my Vegan Choc Superfood Shake🍫
• 20g in each daily salad or wrap (tempeh, or tuna, ..or no nitrate, no antibiotics, humanely raised meat)
• 20g in my egg scramble/omelet
• 20g in my post-lift 💪🏼shake
• 10g in my bone broth
• 10g in my snack bar
+Plus protein that’s in healthy-fat foods 🙌🏼

I added flaxseeds to my smoothie…

/in , /by

Today I added flaxseeds (1 tbsp) to my smoothie & I couldn’t even detect it!! 👏🏼👏🏼

I never did that before because I thought I’d feel what seemed like tiny ants in my smoothie🐜 🤢…yah, I have a weird thing about certain textures.

Just like there shouldn’t be any raisins in my cookies …or nuts in a cake🚫 …and carrots in a cake?! Oh hail no! 🤣

And mushrooms & shrimp😷.. don’t even get me started.

Nutrient Packed Chocolate Greens

/in , , /by

Love the Nike Epic React so much that I bought another pair👟. They’re running shoes tho🏃‍♀️! I was too sore to film a HIIT workout for you today, sorry! I needed LISS not HIIT.

And yes, I still drink shakeO daily! I get asked all the time. I never want my followers to think I’m trying to sell, but I also need to share what I do & what helps me☝🏼😉

I don’t need a sale. Get it from YOUR coach.

This is just truth.

There are at LEAST 7-10 times in my week where I need to eat but I just don’t have the energy at that moment, or maybe the time, or maybe the groceries (like on a Saturday when we haven’t grocery shopped yet) & if it weren’t for these nutrient packed chocolate greens, I’d probably go off track, say “screw it” & grab whatever is quick & comforting!

But having this handy over the past several years has made it easier to keep my mindset, my weight & my health in check long term. I thought it was too expensive before I did my research….

I just thought it was a fancy protein drink☺!

Now I understand it & know the benefits I see ..and feel. And it tastes like a dessert to me #addedbonus 🙌🏼 Now I know we as a family can’t afford NOT to drink it daily #DoubleNegativeNecessary

Blend well.

Oreo Cookie Shakeology

CHOCOLATE OREO COOKIE!?!?! Why would you even need to splurge on anything if you’re having this daily?

It’s a greens salad that tastes like a dessert since it has 3-4 servings fruits and vegetables already condensed in it.

Can you pick out the typo in this pic????
