Recipe for my protein and omega rich overnight oats:
- 2 cups organic rolled oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- whatever organic grassfed protein powder you like (I used grassfed beef collagen)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon or more if you like! I use Ceylon Cinnamon - better for liver and flavor
- 1 tsp honey or a 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2.5 cups almond milk or other milk

Stir it up and shake it up and leave in fridge for a few hours or overnight. You can double or triple the recipe. This recipe fits in this ball jar.

This is high in fiber, omegas, protein, vitamins and minerals. Heart and gut healthy.

I microwave mine and add berries for extra antioxidants.

It’s nice to have made a couple jars so you have it ready to go if you’re low on energy, like me, all the time. What do ya think?

Going from life before to now…

With chronic illnesses we want to feel better now. Adapting to a slower pace of life is something maybe we could really ALL do. But, moving this slowly after being a very active human is painful. The resistance to do what we need to do in the way it needs to be done is real. Patience and grief at the same time is extremely frustrating.

It’s hard to see who you were before. It’s hard to know you can’t be that person again. But, I have grow so much in other ways. There’s still a lot of life left to learn and live.

I made a thing. Less rich and less fat if you need less.
- 1.5 cups Quinoa pre cooked
- 16oz egg whites
- 1.5 cups shiitake mushrooms
- 2 cups spinach
- 1/3 cup Parmesan
- butter and olive oil to cook veggies in pan first
- any spices or herbs you want (salt/peppper/cracked red pepper/etc)
- garlic or garlic powder

I cooked the veggies and mixed all the ingredients together. I greased a casserole pan and preheated the oven to 350, but could go a little higher.

I cooked it for close to an hour actually. Just keep checking it to make sure the top middle is cooked through. Should be not liquid and little bouncy. Make sure to cool for 15 min after.

Update from my recent changes. Stress and lack of sleep and other things have set me back. Ugh.

Cervicogenic issues are more problematic than you may realize. I am on a mission now. This all came up after watching talk about how many providers are not diving into neck enough. I’ve had some work done on my neck and seen many people but nobody to go diving deep enough.

With chronic illness it’s hard to have energy to make soup. So I make it slowly. But I need those nutrients!
Looking for some yummy soup ingredients? I used:
- carrots
- celery
- onion
- mushrooms
- zucchini
- spinach
- garlic
- chicken thighs
- chicken broth
- a little crushed red pepper
- pepper (salt was already in the broth)
- parsley
- oregano
- thyme
- extra virgin olive oil
You can add rice if you want. I didn’t do this one because I just wanted the veggies. But I made sure to put in a bunch of chicken for the protein. All the veggies are great for fiber and vitamins!

What kind of soup do you like?
