One of my favorite and easiest snacks to make are protein balls. They’re so nutrient dense and you can pack a lot of protein and super foods into them. I made these to mimick the coconut peanut butter perfect bars and they taste very similar to them!

They’re filled with healthy fats, protein, fiber, and will satisfy your sweet tooth without the sugar.

Save for your weekend meal prep!

🥥🥜Coconut Peanut Butter Power Balls

1 cup peanut butter
2 scoops vanilla protein
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp flaxseed
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1/3 cup coconut shreds

Mix together into balls and then place in freezer for at least one hour to set. Recipe makes 12. Enjoy!

Breakfast time!! You want to aim for a breakfast filled with 20-30g of protein. This keeps your metabolism reved up and rolling, your hormones happy, and it won’t give you that energy crash mid morning.

Recipe deeeets:
1 scoop vanilla protein mixed with coconut milk - I used a brand from Trader Joe’s I will link in my story. Mix together until it reaches a pudding like consistency. You can also add in yogurt here as well if you want more volume. Then top with berries, bee pollen and nut butter ( I used sunflower seed butter).

Let me know if you try it out!

Ladies!!! Are you on board with strength training?! 🙋‍♀️ because did you know that as we age, we lose muscle mass every year 😫?!

From the age of about 30, women in particular begin to lose 0.5 muscle mass each year 😱 and what that also means is that our metabolism starts slowing down, burning less and less while losing more muscle along the way.

The good news is that we can start reversing this right now! By adding in strength training, you’ll add on lean muscle mass, and with each GAINED muscle, you will be able to burn more calories AT REST🔥 You’ll see your body change in new ways that you wont be able to accomplish while running or elliptical training. Strength training not only helps you gain muscle, but also helps to lose fat as well.

Women also are at risk for osteoporosis as we age - which is the loss of bone density. Adding weights also helps with our bone density, which helps to fight osteoporosis.

And PREGNANT LADIES!!! Adding in strength workouts and pelvic floor work also helps prepare you for birth, prevents you from tearing down there, and helps you recover much faster POST PARTUM!!

Add in some strength exercises 3-4x week to achieve these benefits.

The best thing you can do for your health right now and in the future is to add in strength training and walking into your routine!

Message me for info on training!!

JUNE CHALLENGE ✨

At the start of each month I like to begin a new challenge for us all to do!

This months challenge is to get in a 1 mile walk every day.

I’ve done this challenge before on here, and it’s been a great way to make sure we get outside and enjoy the many benefits of walking.

I’ve noticed a difference in my mood, digestion, blood sugar, and overall health when I add in a walk during my day vs when I don’t get to do one.

It’s amazing for our body to move daily and to get in some vitamin D - no matter the season.☀️

🚶‍♀️Benefits of walking daily-

-It boosts your immunity and mood
-It is a weight bearing exercise, so it helps build up your bone density - which is important since this declines with age
-it eases joint pain
-reduces your risk of chronic disease
-great for blood sugar regulation, especially after a meal
-aids in heart health
-decreases sugar cravings
-helps with digestion
-improves balance
-boosts endorphins
-improves blood pressure
-strengthens legs
-helps with back pain
-builds up muscle

And a billion other reasons that are found out by a quick google search 🙌🏻

On days when I’m not feeling it - especially in crappy weather - I tell myself “ok just go for 5 minutes”, and 9 times out of 10 I end up going for longer than that.

Unplug, get out into the fresh air and get in your mile - starting today!!

05/27/2022

✨How do you define health??? ✨

Thinking that health is being skinny or “looking good” is not health AT ALL.

💪🏻Health is having energy, feeling good, having a regular pain free cycle, having energy, a healthy appetite, sleeping well at night, clear skin, good digestion, waking up with energy, etc

🍓Health is based on metabolic markers, not being thin.

💪🏻Society has pushed counting calories as the epitome of health and having 6 pack abs as health. When newsflash - Women’s bodies are not built to be ripped with muscle! Our bodies are literally designed to sustain life!

🍓Being too thin for YOUR body type will cause digestive distress, gut issues, being cold, messes with your thyroid, hormone issues, can cause acne, leaky gut, brittle hair and nails, and can cause autoimmune disease.

💪🏻 Your body is giving you these signals to stop and slow down before it affects your long term health.

🍓You will burn out if you focus more on your looks than on how you feel based on your choices.

✨Instead of counting calories and focusing so much on looks, focus on these:

✨moving your body for at least 30 minutes every day

✨drinking water - half your bodyweight in ounces every day

✨getting 7-9 hours of sleep at night

✨getting out into the sunlight - esp in the morning

✨taking daily walks

✨praying and meditating to reduce stress

✨nourishing your body with whole unprocessed foods and eating enough for your body - focusing on 80% of your food going into the fridge, and 20% in the pantry to reduce processed food

✨eating every 3-4 hours to reduce inflammation and to keep your blood sugar stable

✨ EATING BREAKFAST within 30 minutes - 1 hour of waking

✨Reducing your screen time

Start with these and watch your body change by choosing healthy habits daily.

➡️It’s never to look “skinny” or to look toned, but to become healthy for your long term health. And then your body will regulate and follow from that.

Y’all know that I usually combine collagen + coffee together to help out with my gut health and protein intake for the day. I love to bring a packet of collagen with me so that I can just add it into my coffee and get in my collagen + protein all in one! And this one has 12g of protein!!

I’m taking mine to go with coffee for a poolside treat!

Piggybacking off my last post, here are some post workout snack ideas and WHY you should be eating a post workout snack!!

After a workout, our tanks are basically empty. Our muscles need food to recover and build back up their glycogen stores. If your body doesn’t get fuel, those stores don’t get built back up, and your body actually has to pull from your muscles to get fuel - so you end up losing muscle!🚫

Exercise is a stress on the body, so when you eat something after, you signal to the body that it is safe and it will go back to homeostasis.

Not eating can keep your cortisol levels spiked, which actually causes inflammation in the body.

SO! Here are a few ideas. The general ideal window to recover is 30 minutes - 1 hour after your workout.

Try these out and save for later!!

✨ Protein Shake with Berries, Almond butter, protein powder, and almond milk
✨ Cottage cheese with pineapple or berries
✨ Veggie Omelet w/ avocado
✨ beef stick or beef stick with a banana or apple
✨ Homemade Perfect Bar or Protein Balls - recipes are in my feed!
✨ Grassfed beef with rice and veggies
✨ Greek Yogurt with berries & honey
✨ Protein “Cookie Dough” - will share recipe soon!
✨ Bone Broth & your choice of fruit
✨ Organic Deli meat and carrots and hummus
✨ chia seed pudding with vanilla protein - recipe in my feed!

Pre workout ideas✨🤌🏻

You never want to go into a workout without any fuel!! You want something that’s quick to digest, and won’t weight you down. It’s also important to keep your glucose levels up to fuel your workout, or you’ll have a bad workout because you and your muscles weren’t fueled up!

Making sure you eat something before also keeps your cortisol levels down and decreases inflammation in your body.

Especially as women, if we go into our workouts in a fasted state, it wrecks our adrenals, thyroid, and hormones. And this will do long term damage to our health if we keep it up.

The solution? Eat something before you workout! The goal should always be nourishment and taking care of our bodies ☺️

Input leads to a greater output!

Here are a few ideas:

✨Greek yogurt, honey, and blueberries
✨Rice cake with nut butter and cinnamon and chia seeds
✨Orange with a beef stick
✨Apple and cheese
✨Hard boiled egg + clementine
✨Adrenal cocktail
✨Dates with nut butter and sea salt
✨Gelatin gummies
✨Collagen latte
✨ Banana and almond butter
✨ a small smoothie
✨ homemade protein bars

All recipes are on my feed! What’s your favorite snack combo??

3/4 cup rolled oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 tbsp h**p seeds
4 tbsp maple syrup, date syrup, or honey
Raisins and/or chocolate chips

✨Why use a personal trainer?

🤔 I mean I can just pop on a YouTube and I’m good to go!!!

❌Not so fast there!

✨Here’s why you may need a personal trainer:

x a trainer helps you to optimize your workout time

x they ensure proper form

x they give you an accurate assessment

x they help you exercise safety through proper form & adequate rest

x they’re your accountability partner

x everybody benefits from a trainer. The top athletes in the world still use trainers, so “knowing enough” to work out on your own is not an excuse

x a trainer will push you beyond your comfort zone while staying within your limits.

x personalization of your workout program based on your past history and/or injuries or health history

x they’ll give you motivation to keep showing up!!

x a lot of trainers have niche specialties: older adults, prenatal, circuit training, sports training, post-rehab, body fat loss , muscle gain, improve athletic performance, etc

x they help you improve flexibility with assisted stretching

x they’re an early access to a support system

x they ensure injury prevention and knowledge of what your body can and can’t do based on your past history.

There’s so many more reasons, but these are the top ones that always come up.
