Looking for something refreshing and tasty that will support your gut? Try these green pops! They have key ingredients that keep your digestion happy 💩 They are also

Spinach is packed with insoluble fiber. Kiwis are high in fiber but also have a digestive enzyme called actinidin that improves gastric emptying and stimulates the colon. Chia seeds are a great bulking agent, high in soluble fiber. Coconut water is high in hydrating electrolytes. Ginger has a calming effect on the gut and supports healthy digestion.

WHAT YOU NEED:
- 2 cups of spinach, packed
- 3 kiwis, peeled (even though you can eat the skin if you want!)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds, let sit in liquid for 5min before blending
- 1 banana
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup coconut water
- 1 piece of ginger, ~1 inch (optional)

Blend until you have a smooth consistency. Freeze in ice-pop mold (usually 3-4oz per pop). Makes ~4-5 pops depending on your mold.

Love giving the kids ice pops in the shower. So special for them, and less messy for me 😉

Slightly sweet and savory- I can’t get enough of this combo. Tons of healthy fats, fiber, and protein for a satisfying and satiating meal.
- Super bread from TJs w/ tons of seeds
- cream cheese - naturally low lactose (less than 1 g for 2 tbsp)
- Roma tomatoes
- h**p seeds
- olive oil
- sea salt
Always hits the spot. Let me know if you try it!

Got some leftover pasta and a can of tuna? Try this.

Mix the following:
1 cup of leftover pasta, cold
1 can of tuna
Big handful of greens, I used the cruciferous veggie mix from TJs
Handful of micro greens
Half an avocado
Olives, about 8, cut up
1-2 tbsp of olive juice
1 tbsp of olive oil
S&P to taste

1-2 servings depending on how hungry you are 😋 https://instagr.am/p/CbfsUfplda7/

We eat ice-pops year around, but it’s been a while since we’ve been able to eat them outside 😎 ☀️

These are cherry-strawberry pops 🍒 🍓

Blend:
- 2 cups cherries, packed, frozen
- 1 cup strawberries, packed, frozen
- 2/3 cup of liquid- I used apple juice, but coconut water would be 👍
- 1 tsp sweetener: I used ginger-infused honey, but maple syrup, molasses, brown sugar, etc works

RESIST the urge to add more liquid! If you do- the liquid and solid separate. Add about 3oz into your mold and freeze for at least a couple of hours. This made 8 pops.

My kid gave me a hug this morning and said: “Mom! You are 42!” Like I needed the reminder… 😂 😊

Last year I wanted to work on flexibility and resiliency. I think I’ve done a better job. Not there yet- but who is anyways. This year I want to focus more on the little joys. Joy with my kiddos, family, hubs, clients, and strangers! Life is too short as we are reminded time and time again. Happy bday to all those celebrating! https://instagr.am/p/CaflN_1pUbx/

Our thoughts go like this: IF we allow ourselves to eat ALL foods, then I’m going to overeat all the “wrong” foods- usually some combo of carbs/sugar.

To unpack this, we have to start by:
1) avoiding calling foods good and bad. Just food
2) we have to start listening to our INTERNAL cues around food. How does this food make me feel? Do I like it? What does it remind me of? Can I digest it well? Do I notice what it does to my energy?
> That way, it’s not an influencer or a celebrity telling you what you should eliminate or reduce, it’s you listening to YOUR body
3) then once you’re listening to your body, you can allow ALL foods that align with you

I’ll explain with these meals:
> I LOVE French toast. This particular one was recommended so it was on my list to try. I left about a fourth because I did start feeling a little bloated and overly full, but man it was delicious 🤤
> The papaya and eggs were a craving. I had just done an hour of intense exercise (something I hadn’t done in a while 🥵) and I craved carb and protein. Something simple and easy to digest.

Again, when you allow ALL foods, you can tune in to what YOU need/ want/ crave. This takes time, but you’ll see! Your body doesn’t want cookies and French toast all the time, but if you restrict it, it will feel compelled to overeat it when it’s available or you are “off the diet or being bad.” If you allow your body ALL foods, ALL THE TIME, you’ll see what it really wants is variety.

It takes time, but man is it freeing. https://instagr.am/p/CaXQ24yLvnA/

LAZY MEATLOAF #2. This meatloaf is easy, versatile, gluten free, and has veggies (if you're into that ;). Also - my kid is selective and he definitely loves this meatloaf (swipe). Only "negative" - it takes about 70 minutes to cook, so plan accordingly.
⁣
INGREDIENTS:⁣
1 pound lean ground beef (I used 96%)
1/2 to 3/4 cup of finely cut veggies (sweet potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, onions, peppers, all good!)⁣ - I used the wireless food chopper from . Love.
2 tbsp of your favorite tomato/pasta sauce
1/4 cup oat flour (blended oats)- I used
1/4 grated cheese
1 whole egg⁣
1 tsp of oregano or herbs de provence
1/4 tsp ground pepper⁣
1 tsp sea salt⁣
⁣
Glaze Topping:⁣
2 tbsp ketchup⁣
1 tbsp maple syrup ⁣
⁣
INSTRUCTIONS: ⁣
1) Pre-heat oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9x5" or 8x6” loaf pan with cooking spray.⁣
2) Mix together all ingredients for the loaf in a large bowl, using your hands. Spread in the loaf pan.
3) In a small bowl, combine glaze ingredients. Spread on top of meatloaf and place in the oven. ⁣
4) Bake for 75-80 minutes or until meatloaf is cooked through. ⁣
5) Let cool and then slice in ~8 slices and serve.
Kiddos like it in a hotdog bun or with little dolops of ketchup (of course). I like it with potatoes and a side salad. Num.

FODMAP note: Even though the veggies may be higher fodmap and tomato sauce may have garlic, it is still low FODMAP because the amounts are below the threshold per serving.
