Cauli crusts fall apart. So do many cottage based crusts. When you add a “flour” you get a bomb and unbreakable crust. I use unflavored A2 protein powder for baking bread, wraps or anything savory. It’s unparalleled in nutrients. You have to balance things out so your baking isn’t dry because often protein powders can do that. So a trick is extra egg or cottage. Recipe below…
High Protein STURDY Pizza Crust
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 egg
4 scoops viscera unflavored A2 protein powder
——————————
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
(Below not counted as ingredients… optional)
—————
1/4 tsp baking powder
Dash of Salt and garlic powder

Blend the cottage, egg and protein powder. You’re gonna have to shake that thang and scrape the sides. Stir in the cheese, baking powder and seasoning. Pour onto a silpat and spread into a large dinner plate sized circle. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Remove to top.

Spread on pizza sauce. Add fun toppings. Sprinkle with cheese or use fresh mozzarella. Bake until your cheese is melted (about 8 min). Cool a bit. Slice. Serve.

Macros in video are for the crust. But since there’s soooo much protein- a little Rao’s sauce and sprinkle of cheese or hit of parm and you’re good to go without adding many more calories. I added some olives- yum!

The video tells ya how to do it. No cream cheese needed. Just a few simple ingredients. It’s warm, creamy, tart and sweet. Much better than a mug cake IMO. Blend: 1/2 c cottage cheese, 1 egg, 1 sachet chocolate , 1 TBS cacao powder, 2 TBS allulose. Pour into a big greased ramekin. Stir in some raspberries and SF choc chips. Micro for 2 min 15. Check for overflow. Or bake. 350 for 25-28 min. If you like it a bit gooey (duh) bake for less. About 300 cal. 44g pro. 10 net carbs. 4g fiber. 9g fat.

How often do you clean your water bottle? Be honest! Do you take her apart and scrub her in all her crevices with a safe soap and super hot water? Or dish wash but handle all of her delicate parts properly? If not- you must. And more often than you think! is magic. The mold, yeast and biofilm inside your bottle- not so much. Get scrubbing!

Fiber does so many good things for your body. Most people get 12g a day but the goal is 25-30. Here are easy ways to reach those goals. Mostly whole foods and a few bread products that don’t suck. Like

It’s not hard to get in more probiotic foods if you know where to look (especially if fermented foods like kimchi aren’t your favorite). Start easy and keep adding. Your gut and immune system will thank you.

 is kinda mind-blowing. Got their bagels (80 calories and mega fiber) and this bread (only 30 calories!). And they’re no...

is kinda mind-blowing. Got their bagels (80 calories and mega fiber) and this bread (only 30 calories!). And they’re not dry or cardboard tasting. So so good! Just ordered their new cinnamon rolls. Can’t wait for those to come!

Did you hear on ? 30-30-3. 30g protein at breakfast (or at least that much in each meal for me), 30g fiber a day, 3 probiotic foods daily. Not too hard. Fun goal. New way to create some recipes. This ice cream makes 2 servings and is about 289 cal. 33g protein and 4g fiber with 2 probiotics added per serving. Yay for gut health! To make: 1 c low-fat kefir, 1 cup low-fat probiotic cottage cheese, 1 sachet chocolate protein powder, 2 TBS allulose, 1 TBS high polyphenol cacao powder. Blend. Freeze overnight. Add to your - add a bunch of frozen raspberries, 2 TBS crushed walnuts and a few sugar free choc chips and use the mix in setting. With a little planning and being intentional- you can hit any goal! Probiotics do survive the freezer and Google said that’s after two months. This ice cream will be gone in 2 days.

I’m going to start posting more of what I do and use. Not because I think I’m amazing or feel “influence-y.” But I realized I get asked a lot about what I do. Live and online. I have a system and things I’m passionate about. They’re very easy for me, but I realize not everyone knows where to start. I take a lot of time and care to research A LOT. Like- a ton. I feel better now than I did in my 20s-30s and it’s because I’m intentional. I want to age really well. What’s the point of living long if you feel crummy or waste your days thinking and wishing you were “doing better?!” I choose to “do better” often. Like… 80% or more of the time. It’s starts with my food (clearly, it’s what I mainly post about but it’s soooo much more). Workouts. Supplements. Peptides. And now I’m doing better with what I use on my skin, clothes and dishes. It’s really not hard once you make it a lifestyle. So I’m going to start sharing more! I’ll do the research and save you loads of time. is my latest find and I’m digging it all. Dm me for a discount if you want it.

I take a lot of supplements in pill form. I tried switching some to gummies because (gag- you can only take so many), but I noticed some made me feel bloated. So I wanted to find a powder that did all the things a few of my supps did and tasted great. is that magic! I’ve been taking inositol for a while to keep my cycles going as long as I can. Peach Perfect has Myo-inositol and d-chiro inositol in a 40:1 ratio which helps insulin sensitivity, ovarian function and people with PCOS. It’s also got my basic vitamins covered: D, Mag, zinc, omega 3. I CRAVE the taste and it helps me down my water too. I add electrolytes and it’s the best morning concoction! Love it so much they gave me a code for you. Perfectpeach.com/livinglean. Code LIVINGLEAN

Ladies. Stop saying creatine will make you bulky or bloated. delivers it in the most fun way possible- FLAVORED! If ya hate plain water like I do- this is the trick plus they add BCAAs and collagen. My slushie has 1 cup of water, handful of ice cubes, 1/3 cup frozen blueberries, 1 scoop extra collagen and 1 scoop of the peach flavored “booty builder” creatine. I could drink this every day post-workout! If you want a discount (I highly recommend it!) it’s peachperfect.com/livinglean
