Balancing Beautifully

🌟 This Smoothie Here, so Giving! 🌟

This was a busy week for us, dealing with a garage sale. We had beautiful days with nice temperatures and a steady breeze, but the sun was relentless letting us know that summer wasn’t quite over yet.🥵

With long days sitting outside, it was important to stay hydrated and have something convenient to eat. This smoothie was my easy go to.

It was cool, quick, hydrating and had plenty of fiber and protein to keep me satiated while we were handling our business.

This is what’s in my Meal Replacement smoothie:

1 cup unsweetened coconut water
1 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup frozen pineapples
3 cups of fresh spinach
1 Oikos Zero vanilla Greek yogurt
1 tbsp cashew butter
3 tbsp h**p heart
1 tbsp chia seeds

Macros:
Calories: 577
Protein: 32.8g
Fat: 28.2g
Fiber: 12g
Net Carbs: 44g

This smoothie did not come to play! It’s loaded with plenty of protein, fiber and healthy fats to keep me going until dinner time. That’s what it did and that’s what I’m talking about!🙌🏽

Carrot Cake for breakfast Anyone?

This Carrot Cake Baked Oats was delicious, had just the right sweetness to it and a win for the entire family. That made it perfect for a balanced, yummy breakfast treat.🤗 Thank you for sharing. Visit her posts for other suggestions, tips and tricks for this recipe.😊💕

This carrot cake is made from ripe bananas, Carrots, non-sugar sweetener and gluten free oatmeal. That’s right, this is dairy, gluten and egg free and easy to assemble. That’s what I’m talking about!🙌🏽

Here’s the macro breakdown for 1 piece out of 6 servings: (Did I say that right?🤔) 314 calories; 12g Protein; 6g Fat; 50g Carbs; 2g Fiber.

Give or take a lil on the macros because if we use different brand ingredients, they will vary but this gives you an idea.😊

I used almond milk, Molk Vanilla protein powder and Oikos for the yogurt. Feel free to use dairy free yogurt if you’d like.

Now I do prefer my breakfast’s protein heavy so I used this as a dessert, but my husband and son had it for breakfast.👍🏽 They don’t have the same health goals as me and I finally got a chance to make one of these banana recipes when I actually had the perfect bananas!🤪

This is delicious and what whole food eating looks like. That’s what I’m talking about!!🙌🏽

**Morning Fuel: What’s on Your Plate? What’s on mine!🍳🥬**

Ladies, let’s talk about starting your day off right! When it comes to getting your body right and tight, nothing beats the power-packed combo of 5 eggs and 2 cups of kale in the morning. This dynamic duo isn’t just about filling you up—it’s about fueling your body with the goodness it needs to thrive. No need to stop and get that breakfast sandwich in the morning!🤨😁

Eggs are a protein powerhouse, giving you that morning energy boost while keeping you full longer. No need for snacking, Sis—this breakfast had me satisfied for hours. Can you say success?! They’re also loaded with essential vitamins like B12 and D which is crucial for us queens 40 and up.

And kale? Sis, kale is your skin’s best friend! It’s packed with antioxidants, and vitamins A, C, and K, helping with everything from glowing skin to strong bones. My kale could’ve been sautéed a bit longer for my taste, but it still gave me the vitamin C I needed to boost my immune system and help with collagen production. 🥰 WIN! WIN!

This combo is your secret weapon to staying energized, burning fat, and taking care of that beautiful body of yours. It’s all about fueling up with intention—nourishing yourself from the inside out.😊

This meal packs: 31.5g of Protein; 25.7g of Fat; 2.2 Total Carbs and 2g of Fiber

🌟Sis, Let’s Talk Collagen Magic!🌟

Can I just say, Farmasi’s powdered collagen is the real deal! I’ve been in the game for a minute now, and let me tell you, this stuff has me feeling myself. 💁🏽‍♀️ A few years back, my girl hit me up, talking about how my hair was looking thick and luscious, and my skin was glowing like I just stepped off the runway. Fast forward a bit, and guess what? My knees don’t sound like a box of Rice Krispies anymore (you know, Snap! Crackle! Pop!) when I’m squatting or hustling up/down the stairs. 🙌🏽

And just when I thought it couldn’t get better, here I am, rocking my natural nails—long, strong, and no breaks in sight! They might have a chip or two, but honey, these nails are thriving.🤗 I haven’t seen them look this good in forever, and I’m seriously impressed.

A scoop of collagen in my coffee every morning? That’s my little daily ritual, and it’s been paying off big time. No coffee? No problem, girl! Drop it in your tea, your smoothie, or even bake with it. Get that collagen however you like!

Let me break it down for you: Our collagen is packing types I and III, plus a boost of vitamin C and hyaluronic acid—your secret weapons for keeping that skin tight, those nails strong, and your gut happy. Yep, type three collagen is your gut’s best friend, and as we age, keeping that in check is a must!

Now, don’t get it twisted, not all collagen is created equal. Make sure you’re getting enough to actually see those benefits. For us fabulous 40+ ladies, 10 to 30 mg is where it’s at, and our Collagen powder delivers 10mg. Traveling? We got you with a liquid form that’s just as effective and super convenient with 5.5mg. And did I mention it’s affordable?

If you want the scoop on how collagen can have you glowing and growing, drop a comment below or slide into my DMs with any questions.

When you’re ready to level up your health game, you know what to do—hit me up in those DMs, GF! Let’s get you glowing! 💃🏽🌟💕

What was this?

So many of you had some really good ideas of what this could be. You made me hungry!😋 I’m just happy it looked like food!😂

This is supposed to be French fries made from the protein bread I made earlier. This is just two slices of bread cut up to look like French fries. And because I was rushing to get to a meeting, I forgot to turn them over so that they would brown evenly on all sides.🤦🏽‍♀️ (Not a baker!🤷🏽‍♀️)

They did look burnt but they didn’t taste burnt. They didn’t quite taste like French fries either but they had a satisfying crunch and almost tasted like they had been soaked in butter.(I’m not complaining about that!)

Hopefully, eventually I’ll be better able to describe how they tasted better. Even though they didn’t taste exactly like French fries they tasted good. My husband’s agreed. That’s big because he says my taste buds are broken.

I baked these in the oven to help save on some fat. At this stage of my life, I don’t need a whole lot of extra fat in my food. I have plenty on my body that I am trying to get rid of.🙄 But I think for ease and to really get a good idea of what these are supposed to taste like, I may go ahead and pan fry them next time(in avocado oil) to see if this is a worthy French fry substitute.

So again, these are French fries made from the protein sparing bread recipe created by Maria Emmerich.

When you get a certain age and you ladies already know, you gotta figure out ways to outsmart/balance your hormones, reduce fat, increase the protein while getting in the nutrients.😳 So I will be trying more recipes and sharing them with you guys.🤗

Comment below if you would try these French fries.

If you’re on the struggle bus with your weight and nutrition and need some help, guidance, and accountability, GF, I am here for you! 🫵🏽

Hit me up in the DMs to figure out how I can help you do better in your health and weight loss journey. It’s a road you don’t have to travel alone. I got you Boo!😊💕

#ʙʟᴀᴄᴋɢɪʀʟᴍᴀɢɪᴄ

The recipe I used was from Though there are many variations right now, she is the OG that came up with this.

It looks exactly like Angel Food cake but basically has no taste. I’m sure that could be changed if I added some seasonings.

The texture or feel would put you in mind of memory foam but that sounds a lot worse than it actually is.😂 It also crisps up nicely.

My husband said this was ok as he ate a slice, untoasted and unbuttered as he headed out the door.😳 Not what I would have suggested from my bread lovin man!🤷🏽‍♀️

I think it would taste much better toasted and buttered or used for French toast and I’ll be trying that shortly so stay tuned!

Why would I bother to make this?🤔

👉🏽Reaching my protein goals is a challenge for me and this is high in protein without all the fats and carbs.

👉🏽The simple ingredients are easier on my digestive system.

👉🏽By making my own bread, I have complete control of the ingredients and what I’m putting into my body.

👉🏽Many of the low carb, no carb options have additional ingredients in them that can bog down your digestion and stall out your weight loss in the long run.

👉🏽Doesn’t SPIKE insulin and slow me down from doing what I need to do. Can ya hear me now?!

Guess what? As we get older, our bodies get less and less tolerant of all the junk in our foods... Hellooo various signs of inflammation!😳

Definitely worth trying if I’m trying to elevate my health in a nutritionally dense way while balancing my hormones and shedding unwanted pounds and doing all the things. Right?

Thank you for the interest in my “baking!”😂 I am not a baker y’all but more to follow as I continue to share my health journey with you!😁

Want to start your own health journey with some guidance, direction and accountability? I’m you’re GF for that!🙋🏽Hit me up in the DM’s so we can discuss! I got you Gurl!😊💕
