Start Your Day With a Healthy Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You have been sleeping for several hours overnight so your body needs some fuel to get going for the day.
Breakfast gets the metabolism up and running. Without a meal when you wake, you can remain foggy headed, lack concentration and feel sluggish all day.
I was sent a free copy of the book It Starts With Food: Discover the Whole30 and Change Your Life in Unexpected Ways. I had heard great things about it but didn’t really know what it was all about. Sounded intriguing.
There is a section on what they call “science-y stuff” which really doesn’t appeal to me. To be honest it overwhelms me. But there are some great tips in the book, not to mention recipes.

Here are some recipes I have found and pinned to Pinterest this month. Hopefully these recipes will inspire me to start cooking. We shall see!
Cheesy cauliflower mashed ‘potatoes’
Roasted Radishes (not sure how I’ll feel about these lol)
Here is a fun Halloween snack, some Pumpkin granola and a recipe for baked pumpkin seeds.
And last but not least a variety of protein shake recipes. Love me some smoothies!
What are some of your favorite healthy recipes you have found on Pinterest this month?
Breaking The Pattern Of Overeating And Belly StuffingHave you ever found yourself stuck in a repetitive cycle of overeating and belly stuffing? Grabbing for the food items whenever and wherever you can? Sneaking off to fast food chains as many times a day as you can? Hiding food wrappers and eating behind closed doors? And filling yourself stupid until you feel like you can’t move but still find yourself wanting to eat more food?
This morning was a smoothie fail. I mixed up some chocolate hemp protein powder with almond milk, peanut butter and strawberries and it was awful. Not only was the taste not good, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to mix/blend this protein powder so the little chalky clumps go away.
I have tried everything: the Blender Bottle cup, the Magic Bullet blender/mixer and even just stirring with a spoon. I even changed up the order I put the milk and powder in together. No luck whatsoever. I will not be getting this protein powder again.
You might recall, last month I shared some healthy snack ideas for travel. I have come across a lot more healthy snack ideas and wanted to link to a few here.
I am on a mission to lose weight, make healthier food choices, cut down on desserts, etc. so I need all the help I can get. Oh and I don’t cook so the recipes/ideas have to be super simple.
I would also love the prep time to be as short as possible but some of these you can make ahead and eat throughout the week.
