Add these to your breakfast rotation! So freaking delicious and SUPER EASY to make! 


Best part - kid friendly and has a vegetable they’ll NEVER suspect (not that I think you should "hide" things from your kids in their food)! 


I took my favored Oat Bran Protein Pancakes, and turned them into waffles!


Only added 1 more ingredient and VOILA. 


Here’s what you need:

Carrot Cake Breakfast Bake

Ok, I’m slightly obsessed with this new breakfast dish! I scrolled on Instagram, was stopped by a Reel that showed it, so I had to try it.

* 1 scoop vanilla protein power (I used Vegan Vanilla Shakeology)
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* Nutmeg (I don’t measure)
* Cinnamon (go for it!)
* Ginger (go easy)
* 1/8 tsp Himalayan Salt (I didn’t measure, but just in ca…

I had fun playing with a new PLANT-BASED/VEGETARIAN Soup aka Bean-Like Chili! 

It was super easy to make, MASSIVELY filling and made for a good few days of meals!! 

Here's what I did (and hubby LOVES it - coming from a meat eater)! It's ENTIRELY plant based - so if you need to add some additional protein - do it up and have fun!

INGREDIENTS: 

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried coriander

Easy Peasy Strawberry Spinach Salad

This is my GO-TO salad when we have friends over or heading to a BBQ and want to bring something light & fresh!

This unassuming little salad checks all the boxes; especially in the flavor department.  It's the sweetness of summer strawberries, tossed with nutrient rich greens, dose of healthy fat, a dash of a yummy accessory & added bonus of protein (*optional).

Freaking Yum.

Turnip Fries, anyone?



Dude, this nutrition course is totally diversifying my meal palette! I mean, I made Turnip Fries!! And they were AH-MAZING! I was a bit skeptical at first, but they were delish. How can these not be a carb?! A total win with the kids too. #Winning.

You can pair this with green salad & lean ground beef/chicken patty or vegan protein option of choice. I decided to make them with a COMPLETELY random meal - Ahi Tuna Steak (Costco for the win!), shredded sweet potato & broccoli/Kale hash and side of a…

Protein Pancakes



Ok, I know what you are thinking - "why the heck would I eat Green Pancakes"??! Yes, yes, I said the same thing, but aren't you always looking for ways to get in veggies that doesn't involve packing them in a bag and munching on them raw and lame?

This recipe flew around the round table of this Coach Test group I'm in for our 80 Day program. I was down to try a pre-workout meal that was pre-made and hit all the macros (aka containers) I needed, without feeling super heavy.

So yes, it's packed with…
