Health tip
Artificial sweeteners have been linked to over 90 illnesses. Do yourself a favor and make sure they are not hiding in your products!
One of the most common artificial sweeteners hiding in protein shakes is sucralose. Donβt let the health stores fool you π€
Egg tip of the day! ππ₯
Do you know your eggs?
No filters... just a great visual πof the difference between organic, "free range" eggs from the store(on the left) and truly pastured eggs on the right.π³
Pastured eggs have a deeply colored yolk, because they come from chickens π£ that are allowed to forage on their species specific diet, eating grassπΎ, bugs, and wormsπ and truly roam free, the way they are intended to. Pastured eggs are incredibly more nutritious than their conventional counterparts (yes, even those organic, free range ones.)
They have almost twice as much vitamin E & A, beta carotene and omega 3's, plus less cholesterol and saturated fat (although neither of those are actually badπ).
When you buy cage free or free range eggsπ₯ from the store, do you know what that actually means? Legally, it means having "access" to the outdoors, usually one or two small openingsπͺ the size of a cat door, that leads to a screened porch that typically doesn't even have any grass! Most hens never even go outside because they are living in HUGE, filthy industrial aviaries with on average, ONE square foot of space- not even enough to turn around freely or extend their limbs! Which means you're paying more πΈ for nothing- the hens aren't living better, eating better, or producing more nutritious eggs for you.π‘
So how do you get your hands on humane, uber nutritious eggs? Most stores carry pastured eggs now or you could consider getting some backyard chickensπ₯ or finding someone who does to buy your eggs from. You'll know you have good ones by the color of their yolk!
Arbonne has a limited edition Banana Pancake protein that is amazing for pancakes, smoothies and baking π.

I love adding banana into my morning shakes so I was so excited about this combo π
Did you know that eating refined carbs in the morning with no protein (think a bagel or a doughnut) can spike your blood sugar and stress out your pancreas??? The spike in blood sugar spikes your cortisol levels and high levels of cortisol coupled with your morning carbs and sugar can cause your body to store fat π± It also leaves you feeling sluggish the rest of your day.
Starting your day with foods that are low on the glycemic index will help to regulate your blood sugar levels. My favorite start to the day is my protein smoothie. I add in some veggies and healthy fats and I am energized and ready to start my day π
Where are my snackers?! I love my treats so I make sure to keep some on hand that wonβt take me way off course on getting to my goals. This is one of my favorites.
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars
- 1 cup creamy nut butter
- 2/3 cup raw honey (local to you is best)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 1/2 cups gluten free rolled oats
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips (Enjoy Life brand is my favorite)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds *
- 3 Tbsp dried fruit **
*switch up the seeds for chopped cashews or another nut to make it more to your taste
**I used dried blueberries and cherries. Whatever fruit you choose make sure they are not packed with sugar. StoneRidge Orchards has a ton of options made with just a bit of cane sugar.
Small changes can make the biggest differences
If you are looking for a quick delicious breakfast try out these mug biscuits! I did an egg sandwich and it took me about 5 minutes total (that includes the time to get the ingredients together π)
Gluten Free mug biscuit
1 Tablespoon coconut oil
1 coconut flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
In a mug melt oil, mix in all ingredients and microwave for 90 seconds
I cut mine in half and toasted the insides and added a fried egg. Easy, quick, clean meal when you are craving a sandwich π
Almond butter cups! Vegan, GF, will not spike blood sugars and 100% compliant on my 30 Days to Healthy Living Program

- Freeze for 10 more minutes before enjoying! Store in freezer!
Here is the picture of what I talked about. Our goal should be to eat the nutrition our body is craving so that we can naturally lower toxin levels.
Donβt judge to harsh. I swapped some brown rice flour for coconut flour and forgot to take into account the density of the flours so I didnt add enough liquid to make them super muffiny.
These little nuggets are a guilt free snack made with pumpkin and carrots and NO added sugars
π is packed with beta carotene, vitamin C & E, iron and folate. Al of which help to strengthen your immune system.
π₯ have fiber that help keep blood sugar levels under control. Vitamin A & beta-carotene have shown evidence that they can lower your diabetes risk. Carrots are also packed with vitamin K and calcium which are important for your bone health.
While these ones may not look the best, my son came back asking for more π

Healthy habits make all the difference
βGluten is an issue for most (and may I be bold enough to say ALL) humans. Unfortunately the way we grow, spray, harvest and process wheat in America is toxic to our gut, immune system, nervous system, and can affect mood and me**es.
Eliminating it can feel overwhelming and frustrating and I promise you is worth it.
And still want a burger? Try using cabbage leaves for buns- itβs crunchy, dahlish, nutrient dense and gluten free.β Dr Tanda Cook

Understanding acidity vs alkalinity is key to your health.
π₯Dairy is a top allergenic and acidic ingredient to go without as often as you can. Its important for your future health.. and this is just a piece of it!
Check your protein powder and nutrition bars, cookies, everything.. if it has whey- that is dairy.
οΏΌ
Yes I have ice cream, cheese, yogurt, milk, sour cream, cream cheese etc BUT itβs all dairy free for me. When you know better, You live better!! let me coach you too

Health tip
Health tip of the day. Avoid carrageenan and added sugars in your "other" milks πͺβΌ
Just a little π’PSA π’ for all my friends that make shakes, this is a GREAT brand of alternative milks...... Sooo yummy! ππ You're welcome!!
Also if youβve hit a plateau in your weight management journey, consider just using water in your shakes .... or reduce the amount of βother milksβ

This can change everything.
If you could make just ONE change towards health, it would be ditch ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS. Artificial means FAKE. Your body was not designed to process and has NO clue how to process βfakeβ. These sweeteners become instant gut toxin and neuro (brain) toxin. Please step away!! Sucralose is often hidden in protein powders, and unfortunately aspartame is in many processed foods too! And check out all the symptoms and diseases they are connected to:
AVOID PROCESSED SUGAR!!!
Health Issues Related to Sugar Addiction:
Processed sugar has many destructive effects on the human body, including but not limited to: damaging, altering and disrupting proper function of the nervous system, endocrine system, metabolic system, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system and immune system as well as primary organs like the liver, kidneys, colon and pancreas. The list of health problems associated with processed sugar is enormous and too large to go into completely in one article, but some of the most common include:
β depression
β mood swings
β irritability
β depletion of mineral levels
β hyperactivity
β anxiety or panic attacks
β chromium deficiency
β depletion of the adrenal glands
β type 2 diabetes

If you needed more reason to ditch these drinks...check out the amount of processed sugar in them! And remember, sugar leaves your body in an acidic state and leads to inflammation which leads to sickness and disease. And to all you 'diet' drinkers that think youβre βokβ, Iβm going to sock it to YOU tomorrow, because artificial sweeteners are even WORSE! For all of you having headaches, if you normally drank any of these things, that's why!
