🌱 Discover the Power of Belly-Fat-Burning Foods! 🌱

Ladies, as we gracefully enter our 40s and beyond, it's not uncommon to notice a little extra belly fat creeping in. But fear not! Today, I've got your back with five natural foods that can help you bid farewell to that stubborn belly fat.

🌟 Chia Seeds:
These tiny powerhouses are packed with fiber, healthy fats, and essential nutrients. They keep you feeling full, curb those pesky cravings, and can be added to countless dishes. Chia pudding, anyone? 😋

🌶️ Cayenne Pepper:
Spice up your life with cayenne pepper! It gives your metabolism a superhero boost, helping you burn more calories and stored fat. Add it to your avocado toast or sprinkle it on your grilled goodies. 🔥

🍂 Cinnamon:
Say goodbye to midday cravings and snacking temptations! Cinnamon regulates blood sugar levels, keeping those insulin spikes at bay. Enjoy it in your smoothies, oats, or even on a sweet potato. 🍠

🌾 Whole Oats:
No more blood sugar spikes! Whole oats are your new BFF, rich in complex carbs and fiber. They keep you full and energized, supporting your active lifestyle and weight loss goals. 🏋️‍♀️

🍵 Green Tea:
Sip your way to a slimmer you with green tea! Packed with antioxidants and metabolism-boosting catechins, it's your secret weapon. Just remember, it has caffeine, so morning sips are best! ☕

Incorporating these five belly-slimming foods into your diet can be a game-changer on your weight loss journey. But remember, it's not just about what you eat – a balanced lifestyle with exercise, good sleep, and healthy habits is key to lasting success. 💪

Now, over to you! Which of these fantastic five is your favorite? How do you plan to add more of these foods to your daily routine? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Let's chat and support each other on this fantastic journey to a healthier, happier you. 💬💚

The BEST alternative to Coffee! 🍵💚 Recipe below!

If you struggle with a lack of energy or stress, nutritious drinks like these are great for getting you started on a diet change

Today I’ll be sharing matcha in two ways: Hot Matcha latte and Caramel Matcha (for those days when you want to treat yourself!)

It's extremely RICH in antioxidants. It’s said to reduce anxiety and inflammation and improve energy, concentration, and digestion. 😲

I was never a fan of matcha before, but then I started really thinking about healthy alternatives to coffee, and I thought of these recipes. 👇

I used a traditional matcha ceremony set with a bamboo whisk and a spoon. You can also use a regular bowl and whisk to mix, although there is a certain flair to using an authentic matcha set.

Making matcha is very simple. You start by boiling water and stirring the matcha powder together with maple syrup. Next, you pour some coconut milk (cream).

Matcha latte in two versions 🍵✌️

4 ingredients and 5 minutes to prepare! The perfect shot of energy in the morning!

Hot matcha latte 🍃

📌 ½ tsp matcha powder
📌 1 tbsp warm water
📌 2 tbsp maple syrup
📌 1 cup warmed coconut milk

Caramel Latte 🍃

📌 ½ tsp maca
📌 ½ teaspoon lucuma
📌 ½ tsp vanilla drops
📌 10-15 drops of stevia with caramel flavor from good good brand
📌 1 tsp MCT oil

1. Start boiling water.

2. Next, stir ½ teaspoon of matcha powder with 1 tablespoon of the hot water until the mixture is lump-free. Add maple syrup and if you are going to make a caramel latte you can add it here. You can also use a traditional whisk to mix.

3. Melt the coconut milk in a pot. You can also use a narrow frothing jug that comes with espresso machines or use a milk frother if you want particularly beautiful and abundant foam.

4. Pour the matcha powder into a cup and pour the condensed coconut milk over it.

How's your summer been?

Here are 6 signs you need to DETOX ✨🍃

🔴 Constant sugar cravings

This can indicate an imbalance in the body and a sign that you may need to detox. When we are whole and detoxed we often don't feel these constant nudges for outside stimulants such as sugar or coffee.

🔴 Digestive issues

Constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and gas are not only unpleasant; they are signs that your gut is not working properly.

🔴 Inflammation and swelling

Toxins build up in your body and cause inflammation when your body is unable to clear them quickly enough. This can cause swelling and inflammation.

🔴 Brain fog and lack of focus

Too much inflammation disrupts your protective blood-brain barrier, resulting in "leaky brain syndrome." A detox can flush out toxins to reduce the inflammatory oxidative stress in the brain, allowing you to think more clearly.

🔴 You have weight-loss issues

Built-up toxins can affect your gut, immune system, thyroid, and other hormone levels - all affecting your metabolism and ability to release fat instead of storing fat. That is why detoxes are so key to weight loss.

🔴 Skin issues and breakouts

When we overwork our liver, the body becomes unable to do its job of eliminating toxins through bowel movements. So it seeks other ways to flush out those substances and one of these ways is through our skin. In the best-case scenario, you sweat it out but the worst-case scenario is you develop rashes, breakouts, or even foul body odor.

Other signs to be aware of are joint pain, blood sugar imbalance, migraines as well as other imbalances.

How do you choose the proper detox protocol? 🧐👇

The best way to detox after 40+ is to focus on eating whole foods that have specific detox properties, NOT juices only. That way you are full and satiated and your hormones and blood sugar levels don’t get messed up 😉

This is something I have spent years studying and helping my clients go through in the past decade.

I share this with my clients through my 30-day whole foods nourishing detox protocol 💯 The doors to the program are closed as of now but be the first to know when we open by joining the waitlist here: juliasfood.com/waitlist ⬅️

Do you feel you need to detox? What detox sign do you resonate with the most? Let me know in the comments below! 🥰

Easter is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate than with some melt-in-your-mouth brownies…yum! 😋🍫

If you love mint and dark chocolate, this is the cake for you. 😉

The base is like a gooey brownie, and the vanilla cashew filling and mint cream pair perfectly on top of it. Although this cake requires a few extra steps compared to my previous guilt-free recipes, it’s definitely worth it in the end. 💯

Chocolate Brownie Cake with Mint Frosting ✨

Ingredients

🗒 Brownie Base

2 cups almonds or walnuts (soaked in filtered water at least 4 hrs)
11⁄2 cups soft pitted dates (or honey)
1⁄2 cup cocoa powder 1 tsp vanilla extract pinch of salt

🗒 Vanilla Cashew Filling

1 cup cashews (soaked in filtered water for 2 hrs min. or 8 hrs max.)
1 cup almond milk
1⁄4 cup raw coconut nectar/ maple syrup/honey
4 tsp vanilla extract
3⁄4 cup coconut oil (melted in a double boiler)
1⁄4 cup lucuma powder
2 Tbsp lecithin powder/ granules (helps filling hold together and also great for brain health)

🗒 Minty coconut cream frosting

1 1⁄2 cups raw coconut nectar/maple syrup/honey
1 1⁄2 cups cocoa powder
2⁄3 cup coconut oil (melted in a double boiler)
1⁄2 tsp peppermint extract
1⁄2 cup finely shredded coconut (unsweetened)
pinch of salt

🗒 Homemade Almond Milk (Optional)

1 cup almonds (soaked in filtered water about 8 hours)
5 cups filtered water
2 dates or 1 Tbsp raw coconut nectar/maple syrup/honey
1 tsp vanilla extract (or a pinch of ground vanilla bean powder)

Directions

📌 Brownie Base

Start by placing nuts in food processor and grinding for about 8 seconds. Be careful not to blend too long or the nuts will become too fine and start releasing oil.

With machine still running, add dates one at a time.

Add remaining ingredients and mix well (the dough will be crumbly but should hold together when you press it between your fingers).

Press dough into a baking dish to form a crust about 1⁄2 to 3⁄4 inch thick.

📌 Vanilla Cashew Filling

Place cashews, almond milk, raw coconut nectar, and vanilla extract in a powerful blender and blend thoroughly (about 30-60 seconds).

Add all remaining ingredients and blend until mixture is silky smooth.

Pour filling over crust and freeze for about 1 hour or until solid enough that you can spread the mint frosting on top.

📌 Minty coconut cream frosting

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until thoroughly combined (the mixture might be pretty stiff, so use a spoon or spatula to help if need be).

Remove cake from freezer and spread frosting evenly over the top.

Sprinkle with extra coconut if you like.

Return cake to freezer for at least 1 hour. (Cake will keep well in freezer up to 3 weeks).

📌 Homemade Almond Milk (Optional)

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend for 2-3 minutes.

Strain almond milk to remove any gritty bits. Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl or jar and pour almond milk over it. For a super-smooth milk, use a nut milk bag (also called a cheesecloth bag) instead.

Note: Store-bought almond milk is perfectly fine too, just make sure it has no added sugar!

Have you ever caught yourself speaking negatively about your body? 😲

This can often lead to a downward spiral and it does nothing but come in between your health goals. 🙅‍♀️

Remember, all change starts with acceptance of what is.

Here are 4 ways to change that bad habit of negative self-talk and learn to accept and love your body right now. 💖

🌷 Set boundaries for negative self-talk

Self-love is easier said than done. So if needed, set a specific time each day for 5 minutes where you are allowed to rant about how terrible you think you are and the rest of the day you cannot and will not body-shame or talk negatively to and about yourself.

This practice will help you train your mind to do what you say and not allow it to talk negatively whenever it wants.

🌷 Focus on what you love about your body.

We all have something about our body that we love, this can be your smile, your round butt, your breasts. Focus on what you do have that you like instead of what you don't like. This can be as simple as looking at yourself in the mirror and acknowledging what you love about yourself for 2 minutes each day.

🌷 Choose a positive reason to stay healthy.

Eating healthy because you should lose weight is way less motivating for the mind than choosing to be healthy because you want to love your body, have abundant energy, and treat it the best way possible.

It's important to make your reason why you want to change empowering and something that moves your forward each day.

🌷 Choose clothes that fit you — not the other way around.

Make sure your body feels comfortable and clothes fit you today. This is an act of kindness to your body.

Best sweetener for people with diabetes 🧐

Although there are many great ones out there, my top pick would have to be stevia 💯

➡️ Here’s why

💡 Stevia is an all-natural, low-calorie sweetener that has antioxidant and antidiabetic properties.

💡Research shows that stevia has no effect on blood glucose or insulin response, making it suitable for people with diabetes to enjoy more healthy and delicious foods. Yay sweets!

➡️ How do you use it?

💡You can put it in your cup of coffee or tea, mix it into your smoothie or sprinkle it on top of cakes.The possibilities are endless.

💡Keep in mind that a pinch of stevia powder is equal to a teaspoon of regular sugar so use it sparingly.

➡️ When purchasing stevia

💡Purchase a good quality stevia brand and make sure to read the ingredients list to see if there are added ingredients.

💡Many Stevia brands are combined with other sweeteners such as erythritol, a type of sugar alcohol that can cause some digestive issues if consumed excessively. Ideally, you would like to see only stevia (or 90%) on the ingredients list.

Some people find a bad aftertaste in stevia but it definitely varies from each brand.

A trick I do when I add stevia to desserts is I combine it with other natural, low-glycemic sweeteners in just the right amount and that really does the trick to cancel the slight aftertaste — if any. 😉

AND since we’re talking about sweets, the holidays are right around the corner and I’m really excited to share with you some of my favorite holiday recipes AND guides to how to use natural sweeteners. 🎄✨

They're gluten-free, dairy-free AND free of refined sugar!

They were so good that I asked Venu (her IG is ) if I could share the recipe with you, so here it is! 💕

This chocolate brownie recipe is super quick, you just mix the ingredients and place it in a pan/skillet to cook. It’s somewhere between a chocolate cake and a brownie. Perfect with some vanilla ice cream! 🍦

1 cup oat flour (25 gr)
Chocolate 70% 25 gr
1 egg
Soy milk or veggie milk 50 ml
Peanut butter 20 gr (1 tbsp)
Coconut sugar 35 gr

Baking powder 1/2 tsp
Bit of salt
Coconut oil 1 tbsp to oil the pan
Chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
Walnuts on top

1️⃣ Put everything in a blender except for the coconut oil, chocolate chips and walnuts.

2️⃣ Mix with half the chocolate chips and walnut and save the other half to serve as toppings.

3️⃣ Heat oil in a pan. Put the whole mixture in and cook for 6 minutes on low heat, cover, turn off and leave for 2 minutes covered with a lid.

4️⃣ Put over the flame again for 5 minutes or less – depending on the consistency desired (either moist or fully baked).

What's one tip or recipe from my posts that you tried or implemented in your lifestyle? 🤗

I’d love to know how my content has been helping you take action for your health so leave a comment below! 🥰⬇️

Want to know one of the biggest mistakes I’ve seen people make when starting a healthy lifestyle? 😱

It’s emphasizing on the things they "can't have."

Maybe you’ve been making the same mistake too and you find yourself feeling restricted in your food choice.

So here’s what you do instead:

try focusing on all the delicious food you CAN eat and try connecting to the AMAZING feeling your body will experience when you make the change to a healthier diet! 🙌

When I first changed my diet, I felt like I was taking all the yummy food out…

but I've learned that the trick is to introduce healthier alternatives that fulfill my cravings and upgrade my health! 💯

Here are some simple food swaps I made 🔄👇🏻

“Ohh no, I can’t have sugar.” ➡️ “Oh yes! Look at all the yummy treats I can have! Raw cheesecakes, chocolate fudge … but wait… I still feel good afterwards? Gimmie!!

“Oh no, I can’t have Doritos.” ➡️ “Heck yes! Organic blue corn chips with guacamole and salsa, come to mama!”

“No more coke?” ➡️ “Sparkling water with lime, mint or raspberries in a tall glass, all day.”

These are just a few examples of excellent alternatives to your go-to unhealthy snacks, and you can apply this to other areas in your life too! ✨

Not to mention all these options are free from refined sugar, gluten and dairy.

When starting a healthy lifestyle, we tend to think,

❌ “Oh boring; I’ll have to eat like a goat every day! (frustrated emoji)”

Try this instead…

✅ “Yay! New foods and new experiences for my palette! I can’t wait to find out my new favorites 😍”

Let me guess, you’ve been wanting to live healthier too but you just don’t think you have the budget. 😕

You’re not alone in this.

I was doing some grocery shopping the other day and I thought of this person who sent a message here on the FB page about how she wanted to eat healthier but thought that it would be too expensive for her.

I remember thinking the same thing when I first started my health journey 10 years ago. I worried about how much I would spend but more importantly…WHAT I should buy! 😳

While it is true that some organic products may be more expensive than a chocolate bar or any other processed food, there are still healthy options out there that are AFFORDABLE. 💯

These are all gluten, dairy and sugar-free products that are sure to give you a bang for your buck! 👇

🛒 Nature’s Heart Superfoods Pumpkin Seeds
🛒 Nature’s Heart Superfoods Chia Seeds
🛒 Kirkland Signature Strawberries
🛒 Kirkland Signature Blueberries
🛒 Kirkland Signature Almond Flour
🛒 Mateo’s Gourmet Salsa (so good!)

💫 My daily routine 💫

Staying at home has been challenging. It has thrown most of us out of sync and it can be hard to find our way back to our healthier functioning path. 🙁

Or maybe you’re one of those who have been in good spirits through the pandemic and have managed a good balance in your health and are simply looking for new food ideas.

This is how my typical day looks to give you inspiration and ideas for maintaining healthy habits! 🤩

A quick reminder that daily routines look different for each of us, and I would like to encourage you to find out what works best for YOU and your personal goals.

There is no "one size fits all" in how we live our lives - but make sure that whatever you do, it makes you HAPPY! 🥰

As you may have noticed, I've kept constant "nibbling" throughout the day to the absolute minimum. 💡

This is one of the first things I help my clients with - to focus on nutrient-dense meals instead of snacking on empty calories. 📣

This does WONDERS for your health and your energy! 💯
