Hello again! I sincerely hope you all have enjoyed your weeks so far! Today I want to share with you how I make my "protein" oatmeal; and no it doesn't have protein powder! If you want to, by all means add a scoop or even just a half scoop of protein powder! But this recipe actually gets it protein boost from- you guessed it- eggs. I know I know this sounds weird, and so many people freak out when they hear this! But hear me out for a second, and you can't even taste it! If you think about it, you add eggs to cake, brownies, pie, etc etc to help with the consistency and rise of the bake. What it does in oatmeal is it not only adds protein, but makes it thicker and gives it a creamier consistency. The way I do this is to "cook" my oats first- I do this in the microwave (45 seconds), but you can make it the old fashioned way in a pot, or even pour hot water on top of your oats. You can use the instant oats, but I use the regular "old fashioned"...

Happy Monday everyone! I know some people HATE Mondays, which I completely understand, but I try to think of it as a fresh start of a new week! There's just something refreshing about a fresh start, so that encourages me to have a positive view of the usually dreaded Mondays. Just some food for thought :) But that's not the only food I want to talk about today! I want to address what perhaps everyone has heard of- "skinny" drinks. I know I can't be the only one who faces the temptation to order a Starbucks drink and ask for it "skinny." Maybe because I feel like it justifies my buying whatever I am ordering, and find encouragement in the vague title. But do we really even know what's in those drinks? Why are they "skinny"? What makes them that way? Are they actually better for you? Do they actually help to keep you skinny? Let's find out! So traditionally, if you order a "skinny" drink, it means you would like the dri...

Welcome (back) to my blog! Today's post is all about food- YUM! To tell the truth, I absolutely love chicken. But some people don't, and I don't always make the time to cook up chicken; I also think it's better to switch up your sources of protein throughout the week to get a wider variety of different nutrients. So today I bring you THREE other sources of protein that isn't chicken! Before that however, I want to say that I make what I call "protein bowls" for lunch 95% of the time; it is basically a salad with a lot more protein! They are so delicious, low relatively low in calories, and chock full of nutrients. Sometimes I just throw a handful of spinach and some chicken in a bowl and call it lunch, if I'm running late and didn't pack it the night before. And while leafy greens are one of the best vegetables (and foods overall) to eat, there are other types of vegetables that provide essential nutrients your body needs; hence the phrase ...

Hey ya'll! I hope your week has been going well :) Today I have some recipes I have been using as of late! This is the first time in a while I have shared my recipes so I hope you enjoy! I have been trying to drink more water lately (let me know in the comments if you want me to post some tips on how I have been drinking more water!), and one of the ways is finding or creating water- flavored BCAA's , and this zero calorie and junk free lemonade!! based drinks that are very low in calories. My go-tos lately have been Green Tea, This recipe is super simple, and takes less than 2 minutes to make! The three ingredients are: Water  Lemon Juice Stevia And that's it! I know stevia is a controversial topic and I would like to address it on this blog, but here is a great article you can read for now! And here is one contrasting stevia to truvia. In short, true real raw stevia is not an ARTIFICIAL sweetener- it is simply from a different plant. There can be some si...
