Homemade Acai Bowl (GF/DF/Vegan/Paleo)

/ No Comments

Anyone else obsessed with the Acai bowls from Nekter? Me too. But they are typically all fruit and sugar and leave me starving an hour later. Plus they are expensive, especially when you are buying for yourself and your whole family. Hello $50 ice cream. LOL! That’s why I went on a mission to create a balanced, superfood loaded, acai bowl recipe at home. Superfood Ingredients I started with unsweetened acai packets I found at Trader Joe’s. Actually this was the inspiration for the whole thing. Then I added some frozen fruit for texture and flavor. The banana makes it creamy and smooth. The wild blueberries up the antioxidant value. Threw in some…

Black Forest Smoothie Bowl (GF/DF/Vegan/Paleo/AIP)

/ No Comments

I love the chocolate and cherry combination. Black Forest ice cream was always a childhood treat at my house, which was my inspiration for this incredible superfood smoothie bowl. Loaded in fresh fruits and veggies, blood stabilizing protein and healthy fats, we eat this as a meal replacement in my house. The whole family enjoys it and it’s secretly loaded in superfoods: dark cherries, cacao, and maca. Good Mood Food Did you know that 95% of Serotonin is made in your gut, not your brain? Yup, our healthy gut bacteria helps make neurotransmitters that regulate our mood and emotions. Which means, our microbiome is directly proportional to the health of our brains. This…

Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie (GF/DF/Vegan/Paleo)

/ No Comments

Strawberry shortcake was one of my all time favorite desserts as a kid. My mom made them with sweet biscuits, fresh strawberries and loaded them with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Here I recreated my childhood favorite into a delicious and healthy smoothie. Introducing my Strawberry Shortcake Protein Smoothie. All real food ingredients, full of healthy carbs, fat and fiber to keep you full for hours. Same delicious taste without the blood sugar crash. The base is frozen riced cauliflower (I promise you can’t taste it) and frozen banana. Add in some almond or coconut milk for creaminess. A few scoops of Nuzest Protein Powder in Wild Strawberry to keep me full…

#christmas #jesus #reasonfortheseason

Does Santa really want cookies for Christmas or would he rather have some homemade dairy free 💥𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗞𝗬 𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗗 𝗙𝗨𝗗𝗚𝗘💥? 🎅🏻🍫🍪🤔 You might want to mix it up for him this year. Just sayin’ 💁🏻‍♀️

This is a super easy recipe that’s great stored in the fridge for a week (if it lasts that long 😜). My family doesn’t tolerate milk or products well so this is made with coconut milk. 🥥🌴That being said, it is a little softer than traditional fudge so it wouldn’t be a recipe you’d want to ship to anyone unless you want them to open a goopy mess. 🤪🎁😂

It’s delicious served cold & I have included adaptations for anyone low sugar or vegan. Perfect for the holidays! 🎄🎅🏻🦌❤️

👩🏻‍🍳 𝗱𝗘𝗔𝗧𝘀:
2 cans full fat coconut milk
1/2c maple syrup
1tbs vanilla extract
4c chocolate chips
1c chopped walnuts
1/2c mini marshmallows

1. Cook coconut milk & maple syrup in a large saucepan until liquid is reduced to 2c (stirring frequently.)
2. Take off heat and stir in chocolate chips and vanilla until fully melted and combined.
3. Pour into a parchment lined 8x8 pan. Sprinkle with walnuts and marshmallows.
4. Let set in fridge overnight. Then slice into squares and serve cold.

👩🏻‍🍳𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

🍫For a lower sugar version, try Lilys chocolate chips and omit the marshmallows

🍫 For a vegan version, try Enjoy Life vegan chocolate chips

🍯 No maple syrup? Honey works too!

But this year I have been trying to be more intentional about really embracing beauty that comes with the Christmas season. ❄️☃️🤍 After all, 🎶 It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Traditionally, I always make these cinnamon roasted double chocolate almonds. I have made them almost every year since I was a kid, but this year I went ahead and tried something new. I wanted something that was easier to make but equally as addicting. And as my daughter would say “Nailed it!” 🙌

Sometimes breakfast is oatmeal. Sometimes it’s donuts. That’s what I call balance. 💁🏻‍♀️

🍩🍩 𝕯𝖔𝖚𝖇𝖑𝖊 𝕮𝖍𝖔𝖈𝖔𝖑𝖆𝖙𝖊 𝕻𝖗𝖔𝖙𝖊𝖎𝖓 𝕯𝖔𝖓𝖚𝖙𝖘 🍩🍩

Does it get any better than this?

Nope. 😆

Every donut has about 10 grams of protein to slow down the sugar spike that comes with a typical donut. Plus a good dose of healthy fats and fiber.

They are decadent and delicious. I ate mine with an almond milk latte because that’s how I roll 😎

These bad boys are made with @nuzest_usa plant based protein powder. It’s one of the few protein powders that doesn’t make my stomach bloated 🥳. And that’s because it’s sweetened with Thaumatin which is a protein found in a West African plant. No sugar alcohols that destroy your gut 😃. They are having a 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲 🎅🏻🎄 right now and you can stock up for 25% off using the link in my bio (Good through Sunday August 1st) 🥳🥳🥳

👩🏻‍🍳 Gather:

Nuzest Protein Powder (Vanilla)
Almond Flour
Eggs
Coconut Oil
Cacao Powder
Baking Soda
Maple Syrup
Vanilla

🍩 Frosting:
Powdered Sugar
Butter
Almond Milk
Chocolate Chips
Sprinkles (Sprouts has ones that are dye free)

🅣🅗🅐🅘 🅟🅔🅐🅝🅤🅣 🅢🅐🅛🅐🅓 on repeat over here 🥜🥬🙌

Seriously, it’s so good I can’t stop making it.

🥗Crunchy veggies
🥜 Sweet, salty and creamy peanut butter dressing
🥜 Peanuts for extra crunch

Perfection! 👌🏼

So are peanuts really healthy?

Well it depends. Some peanut butters are loaded in hydrogenated oils and sugars. These are not real food and they are not good for your body.

But there’s also a slew of all natural peanut butters made with only peanuts and salt.

Are those healthy?

Well, maybe.

Peanuts carry the risk of potentially carrying aflatoxins which can cause liver cancer. However, the FDA highly regulates this in the industry so theoretically it’s not a problem.

But if you are worried about it, there are some compounds that can help mitigate any exposure you have:

🌱 Chlorophyll (greens, spinach, algae)
🌱 Milk thistle
🌱 Dandelion
🌱 Marshmallow root

And there are some surprising health benefits to eating peanuts too:

🥜 Reduced risk of heart disease
🥜 Anti-cancer properties
🥜 Prevents gallstones
🥜 Shown to aide in weight loss and prevent weight gain

✨ References always listed at the end of each of my blog posts. Links in bio. Search “Thai peanut”
at www.thenutramom.com for the full recipe 👌🏼

I obviously eat them 🥜. Life’s too short to live without peanut butter am I right?! 😂🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

Mid week affirmation:
Happiness is an inside job ✨🧘🏻‍♀️

Happy Wednesday friends!

You’re gonna want to hit save 🖐🏼on this one because these super easy no-bake-dessert-bars are literally the best tasting dessert I’ve ever made. I know it’s a big claim but I’m standing by it. 😎💯👊🏼

It’s a chewy nougat base topped with a thick layer of salted caramel cashew milk ice cream 🍦, sprinkled with roasted salted peanuts 🥜 and slathered in a dark chocolate shell 🍫. That creamy, sweet, chewy, crunchy, salty mix. Literally can’t think of anything better. 🤩

Plus they’re:

• Gluten Free
• Dairy Free
• Vegan
• No Bake

Perfect to beat the heat this summer 🥵☀️💦 Oh, and they are SO easy to make! You can’t mess this one up!

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

𝗱𝗘𝗔𝗧𝘀 👇🏼

𝗡𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲 🍪
1/4c cashew butter
1/2c almond butter
1/2c coconut flour
3tbs maple syrup
1tsp vanilla powder

𝗦𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 🍦
1 pint @so_delicious cashew milk ice cream in Salted Caramel Cluster, softened
1/2-1c roasted salted peanuts

𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹 🍫
1 - 1 1/2c dark chocolate chips of your choice (use vegan chocolate if desired)

1. Mix nougat ingredients in a bowl. Line 8x8 pan with parchment paper and press into the bottom until even across the entire pan.

2. Spread softened ice cream over the cookie base.

3. Sprinkle with desired amount of peanuts. Press them down slightly. Freeze for 4 hours or overnight.

4. Pull out of freezer and set on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut in half and then into desired number of bars.

5. Melt chocolate in a glass bowl in 30 second intervals in the microwave and stir until fully melted.

6. Using a spoon, spoon some melted chocolate over the bars. You can just coat the top or completely coat the bars. I found it easier to put a big spoonful on top and spread it.

7. Return to the freezer until completely hardened again.

8. Serve immediately out of the freezer or store for a few weeks.

Tuesday’s Affirmation: Everything I’m looking for can be found within me 🧘🏻‍♀️✨

Anyone else obsessed with Acai bowls? 🥥🫐🥣🙋🏻‍♀️

They are seriously yummy. But so expensive and loaded in sugar (without any balance of healthy protein or fats) so typically I’m left starving an hour later. 🥴

That’s why I went on a mission to create my own homemade version, secretly loaded in superfoods (duh! 😜)

I used Trader Joe’s Unsweetened frozen acai packets as the base + inspiration for the whole thing. Blended in some fruit + superfoods. Topped it with my homemade hemp seed granola (it’s so good it’s like crack) and extra fresh fruit and - viola! - healthy balanced Acai at home 🙌💜

Here’s the dEATs:
(Serves 2)
💜 1 unsweetened frozen acai packet
💜 1/2c unsweetened plant based yogurt (for creamy + gut health)
💜 1 frozen banana (creamy)
💜 1c frozen wild blueberries (more antioxidants than regular)
💜 2 tsp @fromthereserve Blue Spirulina (gut + brain health)
💜 1/4 cup @fromthereserve Marine Collagen (protein + skin + joint health)

You may have heard that 95% of serotonin is made in the gut, not the brain. But did you know it’s actually our healthy bacteria that is used to make the neurotransmitters which regulate our mood & emotions? Yup, the health of our gut microbiome is directly proportional to the health of our brains. This is what we call the gut + brain axis. 🧠

And that’s exactly why nutritional deficiencies are linked to almost every psychiatric disorder (not to mention autoimmune diseases, metabolic disorders & allergies.) Add chronic stress 😳 + a poor diet 🥴 and now you have leaky gut syndrome which is associated with low grade inflammation, depression and anxiety. 😬

But:

✨ Heal the gut, balance the body, heal the brain. ✨

In fact, eggs:

🥚 Raise good cholesterol
🥚 Are a good source of choline which is used to build cell membranes & assists in signaling molecules in the brain
🥚 Appear to change your LDL particles from small and dense (heart disease) to large and fluffy (healthy)
🥚 Contain the powerful antioxidants lute in & zeaxanthin which accumulate in the retina of the eye and help prevent cataracts and macular degeneration

* References can be found on blog, link in bio

Of course not all eggs are created equal. Factory farms raise chickens in small cages and shine artificial lights on them 365 days a year to get them to produce more eggs 😥 They are fed cheap highly inflammatory foods and that makes their eggs have poor nutritional value. Plus, some people believe the life and happiness of the animal directly impacts their life energy in the food we eat.

For all these reasons it’s best to buy from a local farmer (or friend like me) that feeds their chickens well, gives them access to roam and forage and supplements with fresh veggies and omega 3 enriched foods like flaxseeds.

Second choice would be organic pasture raised eggs from the store.

We vote with our money so just say no to conventional eggs. 🙅🏻‍♀️

Or, get yourself some baby chicks and have your own backyard breakfast factory 😂 I swear, it’s fun!

This 30 minute meal is #glutenfree, veggie loaded, nutrient dense, and completely versatile. I’ll give you my 2 favorite versions below.

👩🏻‍🍳 To make the chickpea “pizzas”

1. In a large bowl mix 1 1/2c chickpea flour with 2tbs olive oil. Add water and wisk until it resembles a thick pancake batter.

2. Heat a pan over medium high heat with a few more tablespoons olive oil. Pour in 1/4 cup batter and cook like a pancake, flipping after golden brown on one side.

Making on repeat👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

🍅😋 VEGGIE LOADED SLOPPY JOE BOWLS 😋🍅

A healthy makeover for this American favorite:

• Grass fed beef
• Sweetened with dates
• Overloaded in veggies (think chopped onion, bell peppers, zucchini + riced cauliflower)
• Family approved (this is my daughters #1 requested meal)
• Cooked in 30 minutes or less
• Delicious as leftovers 👇🏼

I served mine with some leftover mashed sweet potatoes 🍠 for all the comfort-food-feels but I also love it stuffed inside baked potatoes 🥔, inside gluten free hamburger buns 🍔, or next to roasted potatoes / butternut squash.

I added the full recipe on this post so you can hit SAVE for later 🙌☺️

👩🏻‍🍳 dEATs:

2lb grass fed ground beef
1 onion, diced
2 green bell peppers, diced
2 red bell peppers, diced
2 zucchini, diced
12oz riced cauliflower
15 Medjool dates
2 cans tomato sauce
2tbs tomato paste
1 Tbs Dijon mustard
1 Tbs Apple cider vinegar
2tsp garlic powder

1. Brown beef, onion & peppers in a large skillet. Add zucchini and cauliflower.
2. Soak dates in a cup of hot water for 5 min until soft.
3. Blend tomato sauce, dates and date water, mustard, vinegar and garlic powder in a blender to make the sauce. Pour into meat and veggie mixture.
4. Cook until veggies cooked through and flavors melded, 5 min or so.
5. Serve however you like.

My original recipe can be found at thenutramom.com search “Sloppy Joes” - (LINK IN BIO) The only difference here is I added a bag of cauliflower rice for some extra veggie power 💪🏼

🍅 Did you know 👇🏼

Tomato paste has 10x more lycopene than raw tomatoes?

In a German study, eating 3tbs of tomato paste a day was shown to produce 40% less sunburn when exposed to UV light.

While tomato paste has the highest concentration of lycopene, just cooking tomatoes 30 minutes can double the lycopene content and make it more bio-available (easier for your body to absorb.)

Moral of the story? Eat fresh and cooked tomatoes for a variety of nutrients. 🍅🍅🍅

This week I am focused on spring cleaning and reminding myself that simple living gives me more time, energy & freedom for the activities that enrich my life. 🧘🏻‍♀️✨

Happy Monday friends!

Anyone else really love salads without lettuce? 🙋🏻‍♀️

As a kid I always loved chopped vegetables salads so I recreated one of my favorites. 🥗🥒🍅🫒

Vegetable Chopped Greek Salad:
💚 Cucumbers
❤️ Tomatoes
💜 Red bell peppers
🧡 Orange bell peppers
💙 Carrots
🤍 Artichoke hearts
🤎 Kalamata Olives
🖤 Black olives
💛 Garbanzo beans
🤍 Feta cheese

Salad dressing:
🫒 2 parts olive oil (hands down the best olive oil on the planet is from @freshpressedoliveoilclub where each batch is tested for its rich phytonutrient content.)
🍋 1 part lemon or red wine vinegar
🧂Salt + oregano to taste

Chop your veggies. Toss with garbanzo beans then with oil, vinegar, oregano and salt. Sprinkle with feta on top.👌🏼

👇🏼🌱 Easy Nutrition tip:

🍅 SMALL DEEP RED tomatoes have more lycopene, vitamin C & and overall antioxidant activity than large, yellow, gold or green tomatoes. Choose colored tomatoes for novelty, but small deep red ones for nutritional value.

🍅 Also, keep in mind, on non-organic farms, tomatoes are sprayed with herbicides, insecticides and plant growth regulators. All of these are toxic to the body, promote cancer in animal studies, interfere with reproduction, or contaminate the environment. For this reason, 🌱CHOOSE ORGANIC.

🍅 Store tomatoes at room temperature to preserve their flavor (anything below 50 degrees breaks down their flavor compounds.)

And that’s it! Simple lunch made in 10 minutes flat. 🥳

This week I have been focusing on more heart centered breathing to create healthy coherence in my heart. And to remind myself not to look for comfort in things that don’t satisfy. 🧘🏻‍♀️❤️

Have a beautiful Wednesday friends.

👆🏼My favorite definition of health and the perfect reminder as we jump into the weekend.

Health is a journey of authenticity, listening to ourselves, connecting with others, with nature and with divine universal energy. It is a balanced body and a fulfilled soul. 🌱🧘🏻‍♀️✨

Certain things allow us to better experience the world around us 🌎. We need the basics of course: clean water, wholesome food, good quality air to breathe, movement, and spiritual connectedness. But we also need meaningful work, joyful play, loving relationships, community, a deep connection to nature including plants and animals, and access to healing when we are hurt.✨

Most of us think of being healthy as “diet and exercise” but it’s a much deeper journey friends.

Health is holistic 🌱. Body, mind and spirit. See your own bodily symptoms as warning signs. It’s not the problem in itself but tells us a problem exists. Suppressing such symptoms leads to chronic illness.

OK so where do I start?

✨Self awareness and self care✨

Start checking in:
• How does your food make you feel?
• How does exercise make you feel?
• Do you have high quality authentic relationships?
• Are you being your true self or are you looking for validation through others?
•Are you connecting with nature?
• Do you have a relationship with God?
• Are you living in the present moment or continually distracting yourself with food / social media / ect?

For us to be truly healthy it has to come from a heart centered place 🤍. We have to refuse to join the zombie apocalypse 🧟‍♀️ - the numb unfeeling crowd on autopilot.

The journey is not always easy, but I promise you it’s always worth it. 💫

Have a beautiful weekend friends.

🔥New recipe comin’ in hot just in time for the weekend 🔥🥳🙌

🍯✨PALEO FRIENDLY PISTACHIO HONEY BLONDIES ✨🍯 (link in bio)

Do you feel anxious or out of control when you eat sweets? 🍬🍭🍪🧁🥴

Do you diet all day just to binge at night and then curse yourself for having no willpower? 😩 Do you think about food all day or obsessively count every calorie you eat? 🥸 If you don’t eat perfectly do you think, screw it, might as well eat what I want and start again tomorrow? 😏 These are all signs that you may be deep inside the diet culture / restrict / binge / shame cycle. I’ve been there + it’s not fun.

Diet after diet, year after year, we continue to delude ourselves, going through the hope that the next diet will be THE ONE that works, only to be let down when we can’t stick to it. But I’m here to tell you there’s freedom on the other side of diet culture!!! 🤗🥳 There’s self acceptance and self love. 💓 And ironically, that’s the only real way to make sustainable changes anyway. 🙌

You see, self-discipline is not based on willpower. It is based on self-acceptance. Find your shame, address it + accept it. That’s when the magic happens.✨💯

Simple steps to start healing your relationship with food:
1. Recognize the problem.
2. Accept it.
3. Investigate what it’s trying to tell you. Meditation and journaling is a good place to start.
4. Fill the soul-need with something other than food.
5. Practice hunger directed eating. It may take some practice but our bodies are smart. Start trusting yours.
6. Eat balanced meals.
7. Check in and notice how food makes you feel. This was a big one for me. You see, good food makes you FEEL GOOD.

So now your ready to take on some healthy feel good desserts right? 💪🏼It took 3 tries to get these right but here they are and they are damn delicious.

Recipe link in bio or https://thenutramom.com/paleo-friendly-pistachio-honey-blondies/

I served mine with extra honey and pistachios on top. 🥳

Tip of the week: Your body isn’t hungry for calories, it’s hungry for nutrients. 🍓🍯🥦🫐

Happy Friday Friends!

Hopping into Easter weekend with this bomb 🐰🥕CARROT CAKE SMOOTHIE BOWL 🥕🐰

👩🏻‍🍳🥕⚠️ Easy Nutrition Hack👇🏼

Did you know most phytonutrients in a carrot are concentrated in the outer third of the vegetable? It’s the plants natural defense mechanism. So by peeling carrots (or purchasing baby carrots which are already peeled) you are missing out on A LOT of the good stuff! To get the most nutrient density, buy whole carrots, give them a good scrub, and eat them with the outer later still attached 😎🥕. Bonus points if you pair it with a fat (beta carotene is more easily absorbed that way.)

I know, I know. I’m obsessed with all things carrot cake right now 🥕🍰😜. And if you want the flavor without the work, this recipe is for you (Thanks to all that save it to support me ☺️).

dEATs:
• 1 whole large carrot, washed & sliced (approx 1c)
• 1 banana, frozen
• 1-2 scoops @nuzest_usa Vanilla protein powder (discount code “thenutramom” saves you $$)
• 1/2c unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon (good for blood sugar control)
• 1/8 tsp nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp ginger

👉🏼 Blend until smooth

🤩 Toppings:
• Shredded coconut
• Chopped walnuts
• Raisins
• Unsweetened almond milk yogurt (seriously upgrades the whole dish)

I ate this for lunch and it was soooo filling and satisfying! 🥳

And to those that celebrate this Christian holiday, Happy Good Friday and early Easter! ✝️💓

If eating dessert gives you anxiety, just remember, life is more vibrant and meaningful when you don’t obsess over food 24/7 ✨💯👌🏼

A healthy relationship with food is not about food restriction, dieting or counting calories. It’s not about eating a cookie and saying saying “I blew it” and then eating 10 more. It’s about building a positive relationship with your body, treating it well by being mindful of what you are putting in it, reflecting on how your food and movement makes you feel, and of course allowing treats within reason. ☺️❤️

Bring this to your Easter brunch celebration instead of the refined-industrialized-seed-oil-laden-inflammatory-crap you usually see at the grocery store. Healthy swaps are a great way to take care of your body while allowing yourself to celebrate with family and friends 🐰🤍🥕🥳.

Ingredients to gather:

✨S I M P L I C I T Y✨

One thing this past year has taught me is how to better prioritize my time. Between working as an RN 🩺, homeschooling my kids 📚(distance learning was NOT working), hauling my daughter to extracurricular activities 6 days a week 👯‍♀️ and taking care of my hobby-farm 🐶🐔🐴, I found myself being pulled a million different directions and really struggling to carve out time for MYSELF. 😏

Things that have helped:

💚 Meditating for 10 minutes before the kids wake up while listening to chakra music (this is the #1 thing that keeps me centered and grounded throughout the day)
💚 Scheduling movement into my calendar
💚 Saying NO when needed to protect my energy and my time
💚 Organizing my home and decluttering to make clean up a breeze
💚 Letting go of toxic things and people in my life (so hard! but needed)
💚 Simplifying meals so that I don’t feel overwhelmed at meal time

I’ve been working hard to let go of unnecessary things in my life that aren’t adding value and focus on SIMPLICITY!! Let me tell you, there is such freedom in it!

Tomorrow I have friends flying into town for my belated birthday 🥳 and we always make some version of this mixed nut recipe together. It’s healthy, delicious, and so simple.

🌿Rosemary Roasted Nuts 🌿

4c raw mixed nuts
2-3tbs extra virgin olive oil
2-3tbs chopped fresh rosemary
Sea salt

Toss together on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. 🌿

And of course I can’t leave without fully appreciating the wonders of Rosemary 🤩:

🤸🏻‍♀️ Loaded in Maganese which is good for metabolism
🧬 Fights & protects against cancer
🦠 Supports your immune system
🧘🏻‍♀️ Reduces anxiety and stress
🧠 Improves memory
👁 Loaded in phytochemicals which improve eye health, regulate liver function and reduces the risk of asthma

Have a wonderful Wednesday friends!⭐️ And don’t forget, less is more ☺️

S U G A R: friend or foe? 🍭🍦😬

Most of us that came from the diet culture 🙋🏻‍♀️ have a little fear surrounding sugar... and for good reason! It can spike our blood sugar, make us hungry, is 💯 addicting, and can be a catalyst for weight gain 😳

But that doesn’t mean we have to avoid it like the plague 🙅🏻‍♀️, load up on chemical laden toxic sugar substitutes 🧪 or go on a crazy sugar free diet 🤪 (which we all know doesn’t work and causes a rebound effect from feeling deprived. Not that I’ve there 🤣🥴)

Instead, I try to re-create clean versions of my favorite desserts so that I can enjoy them in moderation 💓 (without a side of brain fog, anxiety and fatigue.)

🤓📚⚠️ Did you know:

Studies found that eating fruit and nut bars did not cause people to gain weight despite the extra calories? That’s right, turns out nutrient dense food is not as fattening as the processed crap. 🥳🥳🥳

Inspired by this, I created my very own fruit and nut bar with the intention of having a fun & easy no bake dessert for my family. I tried to call them “superfood bars” but my kids kept calling them SUPER HERO BARS 🦸🏻‍♀️🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ and the name just stuck.

All you need is a good food processor, a few healthy ingredients and 10 minutes of your time. Max. Because you know that’s how I roll 😉💯🏃🏻‍♀️

And PS, these bars are loaded in nutrients 🤫

🔆 Flaxseeds lower blood pressure, can extend a woman’s cycle, lower breast and prostrate cancer risk & reduce BPH.

🔆 Sunflower seeds are high in tryptophan which increases serotonin in the brain and gut.

🔆 Walnut, hemp and chia seeds are loaded in antioxidants, omega-3’s, support healthy skin & aging, promote digestive health, boost energy, reduce symptoms of PMS and menopause and build stronger bones.

🔆 Dark chocolate is heart protective, improves insulin sensitivity, and increases blood flow to the brain.

Now you won’t get any of that from a Twix bar!!

Full recipe & references in my bio:

👩🏻‍🍳 You’ll Need 👇🏼

Walnuts
Chia seeds
Flaxseeds
Hemp seeds
Grated coconut
Sunflower seeds
Medjool dates
Coconut Oil
Dark chocolate
Cacao Nibs
Sea Salt

That’s it! Happy March friends!

☀️🍉 The secret to picking the PERFECT WATERMELON according to a watermelon farmer 🍉☀️

OK tell me the truth: is it too early to be talking about watermelons? 😆🥴 One of the benefits of living so close to the Arizona-Mexico border is extended produce seasons. And today we stopped by a local fruit stand that had watermelons for sale. 😮🥳

Now there’s nothing worse than getting ready to cut into a juicy ripe watermelon only to find it mushy or bland. 😏 Am I right?

Fortunately, our local farmer taught my daughter Penelope how to choose the perfect watermelon 🍉

🍉 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 🍉

1️⃣ Look for a dark green, firm, thick rind.
2️⃣ Check for soft spots. 🙅🏻‍♀️
3️⃣ Look for a large bright yellow spot. This is where the watermelon lays in the dirt. The bigger and brighter the spot the longer it was left to ripen on the vine which is a good indicator for sweetness.
4️⃣ Knock on it and make sure it sounds hollow. This ensures no mushy spots and it’s consistent throughout.

He gave us a guarantee or our money back. Thankfully it was not needed because this watermelon was PERFECT!

Bonus points if you have chickens to feed the rinds to (➡️ swipe) 🐓

And in case you missed it, check out 👇🏼

The Health Benefits of Watermelon:

🍉 Great for hydration as it’s 92% water
🍉 High in carotenoids, including beta-carotene and lycopene
🍉 High in Vitamin C which helps prevent cell damage
🍉 Has a plant compound called Cucurbitacin E which is anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and helps with immune regulation
🍉 Protects against cardiovascular disease
🍉 Anti-inflammatory
🍉 Supports brain health
🍉 Citrulline, an amino acid in watermelon, may reduce muscle soreness and improve athletic performance
🍉 Good for skin and hair and may help protect against sunburn

If it’s not quite watermelon season where you live, save this post as a reminder for when summer rolls around ☀️🍉🥳

Have a beautiful weekend friends and let me know if I missed any pro watermelon picking tips. 💯

In case you missed it... this is my new O B S E S S I O N. Blueberry Vanilla Sprouted Oats 😋 It’s fast, filling and works for breakfast, lunch or dinner. 🥳🥳🥳
⠀⠀
⚠️ Why sprouted grains?
⠀⠀
🤓 Sprouting oats naturally breaks down phytates (which normally block vitamin and mineral absorption) so your body can absorb more of its amazing nutrients. Sprouted grains may also have a lower carb count and are considered easier to digest.
⠀⠀
In my book, that’s a YES YES YES!
⠀⠀
Super simple dEATS 👇🏼
⠀⠀
1/2c gluten free sprouted oats
1c water
1/2c organic frozen riced cauliflower (I promise you can’t even tell it’s in there!)
1/2c frozen wild blueberries
1 scoop @primalkitchenfoods collagen protein in vanilla coconut
1tbs raw almond, baruka or cashew butter
1tbs organic coconut sugar
1tbs hemp seeds
⠀⠀
Make your oatmeal over the stove. Add in frozen cauliflower at the end of cooking. Stir in the rest of your ingredients. Sprinkle the top with sugar and hemp seeds if desired. Then, quick, eat it before your kids find out! Just kidding... kind of. I learned the hard way to just make a triple batch 🤣😂
⠀⠀
It’s almost the weekend and I have the day off work so I’m feeling pretty fantastic 😁 How are you holding up??

Did you know 👇🏼🤓🥜
⠀⠀
Studies show that women who eat peanut butter daily lower their heart disease risk by 50% 👊🏼
⠀⠀
Let me say it a little louder for the seats in the back 🗣 Peanut butter is healthy!!!
⠀⠀
Or is it?
⠀⠀
I spent most of my my life thinking peanut butter was junk food. Of course, the trans fat and sugar laden kind I ate as a kid was just that. And peanuts potentially carry aflatoxins, a cancer causing agent produced by mold that frequent grows on peanuts, corn and cottonseed. 🥴
⠀⠀
In fact, rodent studies indicate ingesting this mold increases their risk for liver cancer. 😬
⠀⠀
So is it safe to eat them? 🤔 Well in recent years, due to concerns over this exact problem, the FDA tightened its regulations on peanut butter so the amount of aflatoxins that are allowed are highly regulated. So products produced in the US are theoretically no longer a problem.
⠀⠀
But if you are worried about it, there are some compounds you can take to help mitigate any exposure you may have: chlorophyll (think spinach or algae), milk thistle, dandelion, and marshmallow root.
⠀⠀
As you can see I still eat peanut butter because it’s my favorite thing on the planet. 😋 I mean, I’m pretty sure I could live off of peanut butter 🥜, chocolate🍫 and wine🍷. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ #justsayin
⠀⠀
And if I didn’t scare you away yet (😂 Sorry!) these super simple and perfectly chewy 🥜🍓PBJ BARS🍓🥜 have only a few simple ingredients: sprouted oats, peanut butter, coconut oil, strawberry jam, coconut sugar and peanuts.
⠀⠀
✨The recipe is saved to my stories for you to screenshot if you love peanut butter too ✨
⠀⠀
I’m taking them with me camping this weekend 🏕 (if they last that long.) ⠀⠀
Now you tell me, are you team peanut butter? Or team almond butter?

☀️ Did you know 👇🏼
⠀⠀
Taking enzymes with a plant based protein powder significantly increases its absorption and bio availability? 🤓 In fact, just this one simple thing can give you a similar amino acid absorption as eating animal based protein. 💪🏼
⠀⠀
I personally use DoTerra Terrazymes which I find to be highly effective but there’s honestly lots of good ones out there. 😉
⠀⠀
And that’s exactly what I took before eating my 😍🍓🥣 MOOD BOOSTING SMOOTHIE BOWL 🥣🍓😍
⠀⠀
Loaded with mood boosting ingredients such as:
⠀⠀
Bananas: 🍌 For prebiotics
⠀⠀
Berries: 🍓 A diet rich in the antioxidants lowers your risk of depression by 39%
⠀⠀
@organifi 🍒 RED JUICE POWDER: Loaded in adaptogens to help manage stress and boost energy. (Use “thenutramom” for 15% off 🤙🏼)
⠀⠀
Almonds: 🌰 Heard of the gut brain axis? Well almonds, loaded in triptophan, help produce serotonin in the brain. Maybe that’s why eating nuts lowers your risk of depression by 23%
⠀⠀
Cacao Nibs: 🍫 have a cascade of compounds that promote feel good chemicals in the brain.
⠀⠀
Probiotic: 🥥 Serotonin is synthesized in the gut. A healthy mind starts in the stomach.
⠀⠀
Omega 3 Fatty Acids: 🐠 Touted as “antidepressants does the brain” Chia, hemp or algae are all great plant based sources. ⠀⠀
