Vanilla Chia Pudding + Stewed Apples = The perfect pre and probiotic combo!

Vanilla Chia Pudding:

Ingredients:
- Fairlife skim milk, 1 cup (13 gm PRO) or if you prefer plant based, try soy milk for extra protein (7 gm/cup)
- Chia Seeds, 1/4 cup
- Vanilla extract, 1 tsp
- Maple syrup (if needed depending on the sweetness of protein powder)

Directions: Mix everything (except for fruit) thoroughly (or blend) and then leave in the fridge overnight. The next morning you'll have a high fiber pudding at the ready. Top with fresh strawberries or blueberries for added texture and sweetness! If you blend all the ingredients during prep you'll be left with a smooth pudding consistency. Otherwise, it'll be more like a rice pudding consistency.

This recipe (before added fruit) contains 17 gm dietary fiber!!!

Stewed Apples:

Apples
Cinnamon
Water
Maple syrup
Vanilla extract
Brown sugar
Flax powder (mix in at the end)
Chopped pecans
Optional - oats

Sauté chopped apples and cinnamon +/- oats with a little splash of water until desired consistency is reached. Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, brown sugar, pecans and mix well. Once removed from the heat, mix in flax powder.

Store this in the fridge and add as a topping to chia pudding throughout the week.

Shish*to Air Fryer Recipe!

This is one fo my favorite easy veggie recipes to make on a busy weeknight.

1. Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F
2. Clean peppers, dry, and toss in sesame oil + truffle salt + black pepper
3. Cook on 400 degrees for 8 minutes

That's it! Couldn't be easier! 1/10 peppers has a little kick to it, but not very spicy at all. As a medium spice gal, I am a huge fan of these.

Packed yogurt parfait (there’s Greek yogurt under all the berries)
Side compartment of my homemade granola recipe (previously posted) + chopped nuts (diversity jar - IYKYK)

Love these 2-part Tupperware for recipes/meals like this. It makes it much easier to make a meal with multiple parts, which is my favorite kind of meal 👌

Tofu feta Recipe from - a super fun account with vegan recipes!

- Firm tofu, 200 gm (pressed as much as possible OR when crumbling with your hands, hold a paper towel to absorb extra moisture)
- Olive oil, 3 tbsp
- Lemon juice, 1 tbsp
- Miso paste, 1 tsp
- Apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp
Garlic powder , 1 tsp
- Nutritional yeast, 1 tsp
- Oregano (dried), 1 tsp
- Salt, to taste

1. Mix all marinade ingredients in a Tupperware until well combined (everything except for tofu)
1. Crumble tofu into small chunks with your hands, until a feta-like consistency is achieved. While crumbling, keep a paper towel in hand to absorb extra moisture from the tofu. Add crumbled tofu to marinade mixture and mix well.
3. Allow tofu to sit in the marinade for at least 1 hour before using (the longer the better)

You can use this recipe in place of feta on salad, pasta, and stir fries, as a way to increase protein and omega-3 fatty acids, while decreasing saturated fat intake!

Lemon Cashew Bar Recipe from

For those of you who've already discussed dessert with me, you know I'm a big fan of a tasty frozen option. Having dessert frozen takes the pressure off and allows you to enjoy your sweets without the "limited time mentality" approach. You can have dessert when you want it, as opposed to having dessert around, making it time to have dessert.

Base:
- Mixed nuts, 1.5 cups (almonds, walnuts, cashews, etc) 200 gm
- Pitted dates, 1.5 cup, 200 gm

Filling:
- Raw cashews, 2 cups (soaked for at least 4 hours) 450 gm
- Coconut milk, 1/2 cup, 100 gm (optional to use wholemilk for more protein and less saturated fat)
- Sweetener, 1/4 cup
- Juice of 2 lemons (1/4-1/3 cup)
- Lemon zest (for topping)

1. Blend nuts and dates until sticky and combined and press into parchment lined recantular pan or Tupperware .
2. Blend soaked cashews with milk of choice, lemon juice., and sweetener, until creamy
3. Pour over base and smooth out the top
4. Sprinkle lemon zest on top and freeze for at least 4 hours.
5. Slice into bars when you're ready to serve.

Kitchen Sink Pasta Dinner = to use up all the random leftovers in my fridge/pantry

- BRAMI pasta (higher protein/fiber, but honestly tastes like regular white pasta)
- Mushrooms (I used rehydrated mushrooms to make life easier)
- Leftover 1/2 onion (chopped)
- Random frozen veggies I had on hand (broccoli, cauliflower rice, peas, corn)
- Leftover bits of spinach
- Great Northern Beans (canned)
- Artichoke hearts (canned)
- Chicken Sausage
- Leftover Pesto (frozen)
- Small amount of leftover curry from an Indian restaurant (made this insanely flavorful) - of course this is completely optional and just my way of using up what I had in the fridge - you could replace with extra pesto

Pasta gets a mixed reputation, but its one of my favorite vessels to use up leftover bits from my fridge. As long as you mix pasta with a bunch of different vegetables and a source of protein, you can quickly make a balanced meal!

Frozen Snickers Bite Recipe

These are the perfect sweet bites to have on hand. They're frozen, so there's no time pressure to consume them and they're always available for when you need a satisfying sweet treat.

1. Melt chocolate chips (I use semi sweet or dark chocolate chips mixed with a splash of olive oil. I mix well and microwave for 15 seconds at a time - mixing in between - until everything is fully melted.
2. In a silicone ice cube tray, layer:
- Melted chocolate
- Thin slice of banana
- Thin layer peanut butter
- A few chopped peanuts
- Seal with another layer of melted chocolate
3. Fill up the rest of the ice cube tray and freeze! Optional to relocate frozen snickers bites to a ziplock bag once frozen and press the air out, so these sweet treats last for even longer without getting freezer burn.
