Smoothies don't need to be complicated. My typical recipe includes a scoop of protein (I always use ), frozen fruit, milk of choice, and a serving of fiber (I rotate between psyllium husk ,ground flaxseed or chia seeds). The combinations you can create are endless. Today I used vanilla protein, frozen mixed berries, almond milk, and 1 tsp psyllium (a prebiotic fiber that feeds the good bacteria in the gut). I drink a smoothie for my first meal of the day most days of the week. I love them. 💕 🥤🍒

A great refresher with some fun ideas - it's easy to get into a rut with what we offer to our kids. I challenge you to try something new this week! We recently bought pluots (which are 75% plum and 25% apricot) and the boys are loving them!

Serving healthy snacks to children is important to providing good nutrition, supporting lifelong healthy eating habits, and helping to prevent costly and potentially-disabling diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity.

Simple Thai Peanut Sauce:
3/4 cup natural peanut butter or 3/4 cup peanut butter powder mixed with 6 tbsp water
3 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey if not vegan)
1/4 cup soy sauce (I used reduced sodium)
1/4 cup water
Optional: red chili flakes or fresh cilantro

Blend all ingredients in a blender or mix very well in a medium bowl. Stir in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 1 week. Shake before using.

I use this sauce on so much! Salads, in stir fry, or just on top of brown rice and steamed veggies. Please tag me if you make it! 🥬🌿🥦

Sundays are one of my favorite days of the week. I love the quiet mornings and the pressure to do nothing. Our weeks have been steady busy - a good balance between work, kids, and fun time.

We are on a waffle kick over here lately!
These beauties are gluten and grain free, high fiber, high protein, and will not result in a blood sugar crash mid morning. Today I topped them with thawed mixed berries and low sugar syrup, but they also pair deliciously with jam, nut butter, yogurt, or even ricotta cheese and fruit 🧀🍓

Recipe is on my blog and linked in my profile!
