I love baking meatballs because it makes clean-up a breeze! They are also versatile. Miles likes his plain with ketchup. The rest of us like ours in a marinara sauce. If I feel like a lighter meal, I make easy instant pot spaghetti squash alongside it. Ingredients: 1 pound lean ground turkey (you could […]
Strawberry “Shortcake” Rice Cakes
This is a perfect quick breakfast or snack! The lemon with the Greek yogurt is, dare I say, life-altering. These take five minutes to make. It is a great mix of protein and carbs! It has just enough sweetness to pick you up. Does this taste like actual shortcake? No. Um, it is a rice […]
Rib Mobility to Improve Diastasis Recti
The most important factor in core and pelvic floor healing is breathing. I preach about this all day, every day. The vast majority of women breathe up into their chests instead down into their body. This happens from years of sucking in to “look thin.” Add pregnancy on top of that and things get smushed, […]
Kale Pesto Lentil Pasta (Gluten-Free, Vegan Option)
This is one of my favorite recipes right now. It is so good freshly served up, but equally good leftover as a cold grab-and-go pasta. You can easily make this vegan by subsituting the cheese for a dairy free option (see below). Yes, it is gluten-free. But wait–it gets even better…it has a decent serving […]
Crunch Magic Lunch Wrap
Best lunch ever! It is so quick and easy. It has dem carbs. It has dat protein. It has some veggies. Here is how we make crunch magic. You can totally customize this. I’m throwing out some suggestions, but make it how you like it. Ingredients: Tortilla (I like Trader Joe’s Quinoa Tortillas, but anything […]
Veggie-Packed Tacos (Vegan Option)
Veggie-packed tacos. I make these once a week without fail. My whole family loves them! And so many veggies in there! Ingredients: Taco Seasoning Pro-tip. At minimum– quadruple this amount and store it in a mason jar for easier future taco nights. 1 tablespoon chili powder ¼ teaspoon garlic powder ¼ teaspoon onion powder ¼ teaspoon […]
Antioxidant Protein Smoothie Bowl
This is stupid-easy to make. Feels kind of weak making it an official recipe, but heck–I want to show you that nutritious eating doesn’t have to be fancy. Ingredients: 1 heaping cup organic frozen mixed berries 1/2 cup macadamia milk 1 scoop plain or vanilla protein powder of choice (I like this vegan one in mine!) […]
Egg Free Protein Pancakes
Pancakes!!! These bad boys have a nice boost of protein, but without the eggs! To make them totally vegan, simply use a plant-based protein powder. I, personally, like it with a vanilla whey. The quality of your protein matters…for taste, too. Ingredients: 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour or gluten-free 1:1 flour 1/4 cup […]
Life-Changing Tofu Scramble
Don’t worry. I’m not going to tell you about how my great uncle was a tofu farmer, and lost his finger one season. I won’t tell you about my childhood and how this very much does not remind me of anything I ever ate as a kid. I will get right to the recipe. Let’s […]
Protein Oats: The best pre-workout meal
This is absolutely my go-to breakfast. I eat it every day, particularly on mornings where I am going to workout. You can also make a super similar overnights oat variation on this. They taste good. It is the perfect blend of carbs (quick energy) and protein (muscle building) to prepare my body for a workout. […]
