Alex Evink, MS, RDN I Moderately Messy RD

Alex Evink, MS, RDN I Moderately Messy RD Welcome! My name is Alex Evink, Registered Dietitian (RD) and moderately messy mom of two girls.

I have a Master’s degree in nutrition with over 14 years of experience. Currently, I provide nutrition counseling to patients to prevent the progression of chronic kidney disease. I have worked on and off over the past 5 years – so I have experience as a working mom and stay-at-home mom. I am all about evidence-based research, with a little personal experience mixed in. On this page, you will find mostly evidence-based nutrition content with some healthy recipes. I do not consider myself a food blogger or food photographer – but I do know how to build a well-balanced meal. Therefore, most of the recipes on this site are not complex or sophisticated but with protein and fiber in mind. I do try to think of the nutritional information prior to creating a recipe to get the ideal amount of protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and more! I hope to inspire other moms to find ways to prioritize their health through relatable nutrition, fitness and motherhood content. Put yourself first a little more, and join me in embracing your version of moderately messy! It’s all about finding a balance that works for you and your family – because perfection just isn’t possible or realistic.

Who has the energy to perfectly plan delicious dinners every night? Not me!

I do try to make it a priority to cook a well-balanced meal, though - whether that is a protein bowl, a strange concoction using up what I have on hand, or using shortcuts like frozen or canned goods.

Give yourself permission to simplify – a meal doesn’t have to be fancy to be nutritious and satisfying.

Need inspiration? My “No Stress Dinner Formula” and “Protein Bowl” ideas are in my website. Comment below if you would like me to send these resources your way!

My website is full of dinner inspo like this because I really kind of hate meal planning. Hope this helps!

With the rise in popularity of “GLP-1 boosting” supplements, I have noticed many people are being influenced to make purchases without fully understanding how these supplements work.

“GLP-1 Booster” is a vague term that can refer to several different mechanisms involved in stimulating GLP-1 production. Which “boosters” are worth it and why?

⭐️I have a comprehensive guide, including supplement reviews, is designed to help you navigate the hype and make informed choices so you’re not wasting your money. Link in comments!


With the right diet and lifestyle habits, our body’s production of GLP-1 can be enhanced – offering the same benefits as medications for appetite and weight management.

‼️However, GLP-1 medications have longer lasting effects – so these strategies will not have quite the same intensity or duration.

Understanding what foods can enhance our body’s natural production of GLP-1 can help you decide 1) if you really want to buy a supplement when you can just consume the ingredients in said supplement 2) help you understand why that supplement is “GLP-1 booster”.

I could say so much more — but it’s all in this guide including what to look for with these supplements! I even have a meal plan on my website to boost GLP-1 naturally.

I love to drink an iced coffee with protein cold foam on busy afternoons as a pick me up before I go pick up my kids from school!

Protein cold foam is an easy way to increase your protein consumption – especially if you’re already a coffee drinker. It’s a struggle to consume the “ideal” 20-30 grams of protein at breakfast.

If you’re a specialty coffee lover, you can enjoy these recipes without the guilt! Because, I mean, you’re just trying to meet your protein goals.

⭐️Search “protein coffee” on my website for more versions: coffee: hot coffee, an iced coffee with pudding cold foam, and a pumpkin spice version!

Iced Coffee with Protein Cold Foam
*8-10 ounces cold brew coffee
*1 scoop protein powder
*1/2 cup Fairlife milk, or preferred milk
*Brown sugar, optional

Fill a large cup with ice and add 8-10 ounces of cold brew. In a mason jar or bowl, combine protein powder, milk and brown sugar. Using a hand frother, froth for at least 30 seconds. Pour over the iced coffee and enjoy!

If you meal prep on Sunday, save these super satisfying bowls for a quick and easy option! It’s a great way to use up leftover or rotisserie chicken. Each bowl has 29 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber. Customize however you like. They’re so good for up to 4 days since the chicken was cooked!

These 12 nutrient-packed dinner recipes make it simple to hit your daily fiber goals. ⭐️Follow me & comment “fiber dinners” and I will send you the link!

Or, check out the comments below.

🥗Like protein, fiber helps to slow down the digestion of our food – assisting with satiety or those feelings of fullness. When meals are high in both protein and fiber we are more likely to feel satisfied which can be key for weight management.

Aside from the weight management benefits, fiber is important for a healthier gut microbiome, decreasing cardiovascular disease risk, lowering cholesterol, and prevention of chronic inflammation and certain cancers!

All the reasons why you should add these healthy and delicious dinners to your weekly meal rotation!

One of my favorite “functional” snacks - it tastes amazing (especially as a dip for strawberries!) and has 14+ grams of protein per serving.

Plus, if you use it as a fruit dip then it’s higher in fiber, too!

This dip works as a fun appetizer at parties. It’s made with a combination of Greek yogurt, protein powder and cool whip!

Just a few simple ingredients ⬇️If you want the full recipe, comment “pistachio” or check out my website (link in bio).

Cool Whip (1 cup). Opt for the lite version if watching your sugar intake.
Plain non-fat Greek Yogurt (2 cups). Vanilla works, too!
Preferred milk (1/2 cup). I used Fairlife milk. Milk can be omitted if you prefer a fluffier fluff!
Pistachio Instant Pudding Mix (one 3.4 ounce box). Can opt for sugar-free if preferred!
Unflavored or vanilla protein powder (1 scoops or more). The protein powder can be omitted.
Honey or preferred sweetener, optional. If you prefer a sweeter taste, feel free to add!

I get this question a lot from family and friends—“how do you actually make money doing this?”

The biggest thing to know is that I’m not really trying to be an influencer. I’m just to help other moms but also make some money, too ➡️most of my income comes from ads on my website (I know… not everyone’s favorite 🙃).

So if you ever want to support me, even just clicking over and scrolling for 30–40 seconds genuinely helps more than you probably realize. You don’t have to buy anything or sign up for anything—just being there counts 🤍
