Beau and I made up these cookie energy balls last week 🍪🍪! Make sure to bookmark this post for the healthy and !! Super easy to whip up, full of protein, healthy fats and fiber to fuel you or your toddler and low in sugar but definitely satisfied my sweet tooth! Recipe below 👇

1 cup oat flour
3 scoops vanilla pea protein, use code PRESS15 to save $! (3 scoops = 6 tbsp)
1/3 cup nut butter (we used so that they’re nut free and school friendly)
1/4 cup coconut oil melted
3 tbsp honey (maple syrup would work too)
Pinch of sea salt
1/3 cup chocolate chips we used

Pour dry ingredients into a medium mixing bowl or stand mixer (i used a stand mixer) and combine. Then add wet ingredients. Should be the consistency of cookie dough. If yours seem too dry you could always add more coconut oil or a splash of your milk of choice. Roll into tablespoon sized balls and store in the fridge. Made about 16 balls for us.

I feel really self conscious posting super perfect looking photos of since that’s not what it looks like 99.9% of the time. But I’m kind of obsessed with how these photos came out and even more obsessed with these 2 tiny, edible humans 🥰

Sydney won’t stop eyeing all my food… baby girl is getting ready 🤤 I love big leftover for lunch but gotta make sure it’s ✨filling & satisfying✨ Follow my PFFP formula to make sure your salad doesn’t leave you hangry 🙅🏻‍♀️

1️⃣Protein: it’s a must! Can be plant based like legumes, nuts or a veggie burger or animal based (I have leftover Turkey burger on this one), I love hardboiled eggs on my salads and feta cheese is another high protein fave of mine
2️⃣Fat: not only does fat send satiation signals to your brain but it actually helps your body ABSORB nutrients from your salad! I added avocado and dressing to mine
3️⃣Fiber: Any fruit or veggie is full of fiber as well as things like quinoa or nuts. For leafy salads I think at least one carb heavy food is important for fullness which is why I added leftover baby potatoes to this one
4️⃣Phytonutrients: this is just a fancy word for colorful plant foods (that are full of amazing vitamins and health benefits) So load up your salad with colors and you’ll be set here!

Anyone else always feels like they need to make their lunch in 5 seconds flat?

Sameee here 🙋🏻‍♀️! I got you covered with this EASY & delicious “bagel” wrap. I did the and version but you can totally do it not DF/GF too.

You’ll need:
🥯1-2 wraps or tortillas of choice, I used cassava tortillas (I will admit these don’t stay together great but since I’m eating in 5 seconds also, I don’t care 😋)
🥯Cream cheese of choice, I used plain (since I’m eliminating dairy for Sydney)
🥯Smoked salmon, I love the
🥯Bagel sprinkles from cuz yes I’m basic but they’re still so good
🥯Some greens and/or cucumbers

Pretty self explanatory of how to make it 👍 I love it since it has PFFP ➡️ protein, fiber, and ! Good for your brain and body, tastes great and most importantly is quick and easy!!

Happy belated and {and everything in between} to B & S! So lucky to be your mama 🤍🤍🤍

I write this post from Sydney’s rocking chair in a dark room with white noise on as she falls asleep in my arms 🥰 I say this because I know I haven’t had much content lately, and that’s because right now my focus is 🙏 Hopefully you all can bear with me for some posts of cute children {ok, maybe I’m biased} until I’m off and my mind has the capacity to focus on nutrition/work again 🙃

Thank you to for capturing these photos when Sydney was only 3 weeks! I know it wasn’t easy 🤪

Beau’s favorite MUSH {overnight oats} recipe 🥣

1/2 cup oats
1 tbsp chia seeds
Cinnamon to taste
3/4 - 1 cup milk of choice {we use oat or nut milk}

🥣 Mix all together and let sit in fridge for 4+ hours or overnight to thicken before serving. You can serve it warmed up or cold {Beau likes it cold}. He always wants his with mashed banana and plain full fat yogurt mixed in 😋

I love this recipe since it’s mostly make ahead and takes 2 seconds to throw in a jar. Also ➡️
🥣Full of to help little brains grow {from the chia seeds}
🥣Has natural from the chia seeds and oats
🥣It has a lot of and from the oats {and even more if you add a fruit}

If you’re wondering, the “mush” is named after the bowl of mush in the book goodnight moon 🌙

Baby Sydney’s nursery sure is coming along! She still sleeps in our room but she’s gonna be one lucky gal when she moves in here full time.

HUGE thanks to for all her ✨design✨ help and creating Sydney’s beautiful window treatments (they’re hiding less beautiful but extremely effective blackout shades). We don’t mess with naps around here 😉

I put a short video tour in my stories.

One of my fave EASY breakfasts 👉 full fat plain yogurt + fresh or frozen fruit + granola ✅💯 Here’s why 👇

Full fat yogurt: yogurt is a great source of vitamin D. And vitamin D is fat soluble {your body needs fat to use it} so why skip the fat?! Plus it’s more filling 😋 and the are great for your 🧠 {this is why I give Beau full fat and Syd gets the fat benefits through my breast milk} I love the 4% plain

Fresh or frozen fruit: Frozen has just as many nutrients as fresh! {Common misconception that it doesn’t}. It’s frozen at the peak of freshness to capture maximum vitamins & minerals. However the summer fruit is 🔥 right now so we have a lot of fresh stuff in the house. This also adds some much needed sweetness!

Granola: I love this for the crunch factor but it can also add more and and even more healthy fats {depending what you buy}. Look out for excessive added sugar. I love brand since it tastes great, full of nourishing ingredients and minimal added sugar.

Personally I’m not a savory for breakfast person usually. My other 2 fave easy breakfasts have been smoothies {you can see mine and Beau’s go to a few posts back} and frozen baked goods {like my proat muffins} or waffles.

Welcome to the fam Sydney Margaux Press Luber!! You are so loved 🤍 Sydney arrived 7/27 at 6:45pm, 8lb 1oz. She took her time getting here (just like her brother) but once she finally decided to make her entrance she came fast! We’re all doing well and enjoying her snuggles. Her big brother and big fur sister especially want to touch (and lick 🐶) her at all opportunities🥰

Im excited to share her on the blog! You can read Beau’s on there already if you’re obsessed with birth stories like me 🤣). Sydney was a and surprised us at every turn! Just need to get some more 😴 before I gather my thoughts and write them down so stay tuned!

Enjoying the last few days or weeks 🤔being only Beau’s mama but also eager to meet baby girl! Have *not* felt like superwoman at the end of this pregnancy like I did with Beau (ok maybe not superwoman but felt really good up until I had him at 41 weeks 5 days). This time feels a lot *harder* for so many reasons. Can any other mamas out there relate?

Anyways, that’s my real life update for now since I really haven’t shared much about this on here. Took these pics back when I was 32 weeks pregnant and never got around to sharing but I ❤️ them.

Thanks for capturing !

Ever eat a for a meal and feel hungry and/or unsatisfied shortly after? Perhaps found yourself reaching for chips or chocolate or at least thinking about reaching for those things 🤔 I’ve been there too {and for the record, nothing wrong with chips or chocolate!} but here are some tips on how to make ✨satiating✨ salads ⤵️

🥗Add a carb: yep! Most people think that in order to be healthy salads need to be low carb/carb-free but that’s a recipe for hanger. Except, your carb CAN be a veggie! In this salad I added the veggie burger which is made from legumes {carbs} and grains {carbs} and bonus it adds extra protein too. Some ideas for carbs: starchy veggies like potatoes or sweet potatoes, croutons {Matt loves making them with our leftover bread}, legumes like chickpeas or lentils, grains like quinoa, pasta {I love throwing some leftover or something like that on a salad}

🥗Make sure you have plenty of fats: We NEED fat to absorb half the vitamins we eat, so a beautiful 🌈 salad that’s totally fat free is kinda useless. Plus if you’re or the help your baby’s brain develop! And they send satiation hormones to our brain so we actually feel full after eating. On this salad I have my egg yolk, about half an avocado, and a yummy dressing. You can also add nuts and seeds for a yummy crunch! And if you don’t choose a “lean” protein, that can add some fat too.

🥗Protein: this is an obvious one for staying full but pay attention to how you feel after eating certain things to find how much *your* body needs. On this salad I have the veggie burger and egg since I knew the burger alone wouldn’t be enough for me especially right now 🤰🏻 Some of the carb and fat options I mentioned above ALSO add extra protein {legumes, grains like quinoa, nuts and seeds etc} So don’t forget, one food can check multiple boxes ✅

Obligatory run after my 🤣🥗 {not a sweetgreen ad!} and 💉🎉 Feeling so for this vaccine and that I was able to get it 🙏🙏

I’ve gotten a lot of messages about if I’ll get the vaccine while so I thought I’d share my personal thought process. Also want to remind everyone I’m NOT a medical expert 😊

When the vaccines first came out, it was not a no brainer for me to get it during . There was so little information and so many questions. But over the past few months I’ve been doing a lot of my own research, talking to doctors etc. and based on what I learned, I felt the risk of getting was greater than the unknowns from the . However, everyone is free to make their own decisions and I 💯 understand how this can be nerve wracking during pregnancy. But looking forward to brighter times ahead when more people are vaccinated and herd immunity can be reached ☀️

as a mom of a toddler {especially while } has been minimal, to say the least... however, doing 1-2 things of prep here and there is still super helpful! So this is ✨your reminder✨ that prep doesn’t have to be all or nothing 🙅🏻‍♀️ Roasting one or two veggies OR making a batch of turkey burgers {doing this tonight} OR some overnight oats OR hardboiled eggs makes OR prepping a healthy but delicious grab & go snack {like these perfect bars} makes a HUGE difference. And you do NOT have to make ALL of those things to make it worthwhile. ✨A little bit goes a long way✨

I have been getting tons of questions over the past few months on what Beau drinks now that he is no longer breastfeeding. We switched Beau to as soon as he turned one. Before we found , I was a bit stressed about what to give Beau for "milk" since I had recently weaned him from breast milk, the potential for exogenous hormones in cow’s milk made me nervous, and I wasn't finding any formulas that I was thrilled with the ingredients. Luckily, I found and Beau and I have both been so happy since (6ish months later we are still very happy with our choice for Else). Coincidentally, reached out to me for a partnership and I was really excited. I never say yes to partner with brands I don't believe in. And this was a brand that had already been a staple in our daily lives for the past 6 months so it felt like a really organic partnership.

Why I love :
1. Beau loves it! He loves the taste and it works well with his somewhat sensitive digestive system (he is just getting over his baby reflux now but is doing amazing on Else and it never causes problems)
2. Whole-foods-based: Else has 3 main whole foods ingredients: almonds, buckwheat and tapioca. All are and the combination provides a great source of healthy fats, protein and quality carbohydrates.
3. Else's formula is also free of problematic ingredients that can often be found in other formulas and cow's milk, even organic ones. For instance, hormones, GMOs, antibiotics, corn-syrup. Else is also gluten, soy dairy and cruelty-free! Not saying this to put other options down but it's the unfortunate truth, so know better do better, there's always time to switch :)
4. Else has less sugar than other formula alternatives, cow's milk and even plant-based milks, while still providing the protein, iron, calcium, fiber and that growing littles need!
5. Else is USDA and 100% plant-based. Beau is not 100% but pointing this out for families where that is a priority.

Some easy ways to amp up ⬆️ the in carb heavy breakfasts like baked goods, oats 🧇🥞🥣 without adding protein powder {nothing wrong with adding protein powder but not everyone has it or likes it!}⤵️

Why do we want to amp up the protein? It will make the meal more satiating so you are fuller longer and it makes the meal easier on your blood sugar so it doesn’t spike and then crash💥🙅🏻‍♀️ and then we can still enjoy our favorite breakfasts 🤩 or my faves anyways 😋

Ideas, you can do more than one of these on one breakfast {on these pancakes I have all 4!}
💡Top with nut or seed butter {cashew, almond, sunflower, tahini, peanut butter}
💡Sprinkle on whole nuts or seeds {I used h**p seeds on these pancakes, they have the most protein per gram of any seed!, other ideas are chia and flax seeds, and all contain beneficial omega 3s!}
💡Top with yogurt {you can use a one since plenty of them do contain protein or one with dairy like Greek or Icelandic}
💡For baked goods/waffles/pancakes you can use mixes or ingredients that contain some protein. For instance, I love the chickpea flour pancake & waffle mix. I also love the almond flour mix. I know also has some protein mixes {and I’m sure other brands as well!}

EASY AF ⭐️PFFP⭐️ lunch that’s been on repeat since I became a mama and had less time for meal prep {and continued through pregnancy} 🔂 {I knowww this is basic 😉} and some kind of protein {usually eggs}. Thought I’d show this one real life style with a toddler grabbing at my legs... but if it’s easy enough to make during Beau’s attention span it’s easy enough for anyone✅

Reminder of what PFFP is: Protein, Fat, Fiber & Phytonutrients. AKA my magic foursome to make a filling and nutrient dense meal. Here, the eggs provide protein and fat, avocado provides fat, fiber and phytonutrients, the provides more fiber and the tomatoes provide more 🍞🍳🥑🍅 How easy is that!?

And since I know I’ll get questions on this, yes I eat runny eggs during and did with Beau as well. I’ve done a lot of research on this topic and in my opinion the data supports it because: a) choline is super important during pregnancy and a great source of it is egg yolks and b) the already very tiny risk of salmonella from eggs reduces 7 fold when buying organic and pasture raised. HOWEVER, not trying to convince anyone to do anything they’re not personally comfortable with! Just sharing why my comfort level is there when making my own eggs at home. and have both done some really good evidence based writing on this topic!!

HONEY SRIRACHA BRUSSELS SPROUTS 🍯🌶🌱🔥 If you’re tired of boring roasted brussels {I know I am since I make them all the time 🤣🙄} then try this easy flavorful recipe!

1 lb Brussels sprouts {trimmed, cleaned and halved, got ours at yesterday!}
3 tbsp oil of choice {I used avocado oil}
1.5 tbsp honey
1-2 tsp sriracha {I used and did 2 tsp since I wanted more of a kick 🔥}
Sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions: 1️⃣Preheat oven to 425. Clean and trim your Brussels and cut in half the long way. 2️⃣In a microwave safe bowl combine your oil, honey and sriracha and microwave for a few seconds {10-20 should be plenty} so it combines easier and more evenly. Once heated, stir the mixture up a bit. 3️⃣Add the Brussels to the mixture or if your bowl isn’t big enough, add the mixture to the Brussels. Toss the Brussels around until they’re coated in the mixture and season with a bit of sea salt and pepper. 4️⃣Line a large baking sheet with parchment or use a large oven safe dish and put your seasoned Brussels on and roast at 425 for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. 5️⃣Enjoy😋

Also, side note, I’m excited about how sunny our new house is! No filter on this photo and I feel like it’s beaming 🌞
