LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER 😁
👋 There! Whether you came to check out my recent giveaway or my recipes, thanks for coming! I hope you’ll stick around because I’d like to get to know you😊
Here are a few tidbits about me:
🐶 While I don’t usually hang out in my PJs, I do like to spend some quiet moments with @latkethedoxie in my window seat, just looking out the window and taking in the beauty 🌳🐦 🌸 Trying to find more moments of #gratitude as I get older 🙏
💥 I’m into positive+ nutrition. What does that mean? First off, it means I’m not judging you and you’re not judging me—yay! 🎉 It also means that I’m more focused on helping you ADD 😎 foods to your plate to help you feel fantastic ✨ vs. taking things off your 🥘
📚 I am a book person and 💚 both reading them (currently Olga Dies Dreaming) and writing them. Hoping to get started on my next 📚 project soon!
👧🏼 I’m a mom of 3 kiddos, from 7 years old to 13. While I don’t share a ton of kid-focused nutrition tips here, I always keep the needs of families in mind and try to be VERY realistic about meal prep and budget, especially as food💲go ⬆️
🌱 While I’m not #vegan (had a 🍔 last night), I am 🌱 focused. To me that means that most meals and snacks are based on plant foods. Why? Because fruits 🍉 🍇🫐 and veggies 🥦 🥗 🍅 and nuts 🥜 seeds and while grains are loaded with phytonutrients that help fight disease and keep us healthy and I want to feel fabulous for a long time to come! They also help your skin and hair 🧖‍♂️ look 🤩 too 😉
🥰Current faves: fresh 🍑, 👖 from @ayr, @latto777 penny tile and @hacks
LMK what we have in common! And look out for fresh 🍋 new content soon!

💚MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS
May is #mentalhealthawarenessmonth and the kids and @latkethedoxie and I did a walk today to help support #mentalhealth awareness with @namiwestchester, which helps fund no-cost, evidence-based programs.
Whether it’s our own personal mental health journey or a family member or friend’s, this is an issue we should all care about because #mentalhealthmatters💚
I hope you’re all getting outside 🌲 today and moving for your mental health!

🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
After a lot of hand wringing and 😢, and at the tail end of #infertilityawarenessweek, I am finally ready to share my story.
This photo was taken a few days after I had my last pregnancy loss. It was my third. I felt hollow inside and miserable. I beat myself up for wanting another baby at 40+ and felt that my body, which had always done so much for me, had betrayed me.
On the advice of my doctor, I didn’t tell a soul what happened. I realize now how terrible and unprofessional this advice was, but the farther I got away from the pain 💔 the less I wanted to dredge it up. Also, I was afraid of being judged. I imagined I would hear things like:
“But at least you have three healthy children.”
“Why would you want to go through that again?”
“You know you’re too old to get pregnant.”
I didn’t want to hear any of this, or the other “helpful” things that people feel the need to say in these situations.
I am sharing this now because I know I’m not the only 40+ woman out there who has struggled with this, possibly in silence. Infertility is always painful, but I think it’s handled differently when you’re at the end of your fertility journey instead of the beginning. I hope you might find my story helpful as please know that you are not alone and should share your own story if you feel ready 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

🧋😋BOBA CHIA BOWL😋🧋
Are you obsessed 🤩 with #boba🧋like we are in our 🏡? DYK you can use these chewy little balls of tapioca (from the cassava root) can be used in SO many fun ways other than just #bubbletea?
I recently took a class with the fabulous @jasminepak and @bobabamofficial and learned how to make #bubbletea 🧋& more. If you’re looking to add some chewy texture to drinks and dishes, or you’re trying to get your kids 👧🏼 into eating healthy breakfasts like #chiapudding, add some boba!
I made my basic chia seed pudding (recipe 👇) and added yogurt 🫐 🥭 and just the boba pearls from a frozen pack of @bobabamofficial. Trust me—it’s a really 🤩 way to level up your breakfast!
Chia Pudding (makes 5 servings)
3/4 cup chia seeds
3 cups 🥛 of choice (I ❤️ oat)
1 T 🍁 syrup (optional)
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened 🥥 (optional)
Stir together in a large 🥣
Refrigerate for @ least 30 min or overnight
Scoop into a 🥣 and top with fresh fruit + boba—enjoy!

💥 PROTECT YOUR ENERGY ⚡️
How are we doing on this final Monday in April? I had a great weekend, but along the way there were a few things that tried to take my joy away, like passive aggressive people and some scary dreams 🛌 If you are dealing with “energy 🧛🏽‍♂️” too, here are a few things to keep in mind:
🌍 Your energy is a limited natural resource and you need to treat it like that 🌲 💦 ⚡️
☀️There are lots of things in our lives that require our energy & focus and we’re 😊 to give it (kids, work, friends🏡), but when we feel that an interaction or conversation or relationship is taking energy away from us, it’s time to step away. No need for 🎭 mama
😁 On the other hand, the people and experiences who help fill our cup🥛are the ones to keep around and continue to grow 🌱 with. Invest in YOU!
How do you protect your energy? I’d 💚 to know! And thx @allymisslove for helping me add some ⚡️ this morning!

FOODS THAT FIGHT STRESS 💛
April is stress-awareness month and I couldn’t let it slip by without sharing my top foods for fighting stress. The past two years have seen a spike in feelings of stress 😩in both kids 👧🏼 👦🏽 and adults. While food can’t take away the stressors in your life and shouldn’t be used as the only solution in your self-care kit, it can certainly help.
🍿Slow burning carbs: First, what I mean by this term are carbs that come with a few grams of fiber per serving, which slows their effect on blood sugar. Carbs are helpful for making you feel calm and relaxed 🧘🏻‍♀️ Opt for 🍿whole grain 🍞 and 🥣 and oatmeal
Fatty 🐟: stress affects serotonin—the feel-good neurotransmitter—levels in the 🧠 causing you to feel anxious 😬 fatigued 😞 and even hopeless. Fatty 🐟 including 🍣 tuna, sardines and herring all contain significant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids and vit D, which are both involved in the regulation of serotonin👍
🫖 Herbal tea: Mom was right, a cup of warm 🫖 really can soothe you. But opt for herbal 🌱 teas like chamomile, lavender or peppermint. All of which provide a calming effect ☺️
🦠 Yogurt + Kefir: The probiotics in yogur, kefir 🥛 and their non-dairy alternatives may help trigger the release of serotonin 😁
🥜 Magnesium-Rich foods: Thus mineral is involved in the 😴 sleep-wake cycle and helps the body relax. The top #magnesium rich foods are almonds, 🥑 walnuts, cashews, 🎃 seeds, chia, spinach 🥬, dark 🍫, black 🫘, 🥜 butter and 🥔

PB & CHEDDAR 🧀 MELT
It’s #nationalgrilledcheeseday, so celebrate with my twist on a traditional PB & J. It might sound odd to put PB 🥜 in your grilled cheese 🧀 sammie, but I promise 🤞 that it’s 🤩
I just returned from a conference with @nationalpeanutboard and I’m fully inspired by the multitude of ways you can use this 😋 and nutritious spread in recipes.
I originally created this recipe for @parents and trust me, it’s a 👧🏼 and mom pleaser😊 Here’s how to make it:
1. Spread 1 tsp 🧈 on side of 2 slices of 🍞
2. Coat a pan or griddle with cooking spray and place 1 piece of bread in pan, 🧈 side down. Cook for 1 min over med-high heat.
3. Place 1/3 cup shredded cheddar or manchego 🧀 on top of 🍞 and cook until 🧀 melts.
4. Spread I buttered slice of remaining 🍞 with 1 TBSP PB, then 1 tsp jam. Place jam side down on 🍞 with the 🧀. Flip 🥪 and cook another minute.
5. Remove from pan, let sit a minute, then slice in half and devour! 😋
What do you think? Into it or not? I just made one this morning and it was amazing 🤩

💚LEVEL UP YOUR SMOOTHIE! 💚
It is definitely prime smoothie season and your blender has probably taken up semi-permanent residence on your counter like mine has. That’s 😎 so let’s make the most of it! ✨
You know that it’s smart to include the following in your smoothie:
🥤 Fiber-Rich fruit 🍊 and veggies 🥕
🥤Protein for satiety & 💪🏻 repair
🥤Healthy fat for satiety and flavor
Here are some other things you might want to add to boost your smoothie:
💚Chia + hemp seeds: fiber and healthy fat
💚protein powder: to help repair micro tears in muscle after a tough 🏋🏼‍♀️
💚collagen powder: Can help replace the collagen that’s lost as we age
💚beet powder: May help improve athletic performance and contains antioxidants
💚cacao nibs: loaded with antioxidants and provide texture 😋
💚nut butters: add flavor and body & healthy fat & 🌱 protein
💚ginger: fights inflammation and nausea
💚May provide an anti-inflammatory and immune strengthening benefit (avoid if you’re allergic to 🐝)

🌱 SHAVED ZUCCHINI SALAD 🌱
Happy Friday friends! Are you still easing back into salads like I am? If a bowl of lettuce 🥬 still feels kind of 😕 try this shaved 🪒 🥗 😁
You can use a mandolins to shave veggies like zucchini 🥔 🍠 🥕 but if you don’t have one or so T want to slice your finger open, you can use a wide veggie peeler (@oxo makes good ones).
If you want to swap out the buttermilk for a 🌱 option, I suggest using an unsweetened oat creamer. The creamy dressing g also features 🍋 fresh mint, parsley 🌿 🥑 and a wee bit of 🍯
Grab the recipe at the link 👆 or DM me. Here’s to warmer, springier days ahead! 🌸

🍋 MEYER LEMON POUND CAKE 🍰
As I work on getting my sense of 👅 and 👃🏼 back, one of the few things that is registering is 🍋 You can wake up your taste buds too with this lovely Meyer Lemon Pound 🍰
It’s perfect for any springtime celebration 🐰 🐥 🥂 and is amazing with a side of 🍓 or 🍦 And yes, I’ve even made French toast with it 😋
Meyer 🍋 have a thinner skin than regular ones and also a more delicate and sweet flavor. You can find them from December through May. And of course, regular 🍋 work well too 😉
I use a blend of AP and whole wheat flour in this loaf, plus whole milk yogurt to keep it moist.

ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH ZINC?
Immune health has been top of mind for many of us over the last two years and with my own recent Covid infection and with a potential surge around the corner (hopefully not 🤞), I wanted to chat about one of the most important minerals for #immunehealth: ZiNC.
The mineral zinc is so important for immune health, but many people don’t know where to get it. Zinc is essential for maintaining our immune system and is involved with all cells, including inflammatory cells, skin cells and protein and #collagen synthesis. Without it, kids 👦🏽 👧🏼 don’t grow normally, wounds don’t heal 🤕 and our sense of 👅 and 👃🏼 are affected.
Men over age 19 should get 11mg per day and women should get 8mg. Pregnancy🤰increases the need for the mineral to 11 mg and 12 mg for breastfeeding 🤱🏿 women. Kids 👧🏼 1-3 need 3mg, 4-8 need 5mg, and 9-13 need 8mg. Teens need as much as adults.
While animal sources 🥩 🦞 🦀 have the highest amount of zinc, there are plenty of #vegansources too. Here are some top picks for the whole family:
🦪 Oysters offer 32mg/6 oysters
🦀 Alaskan crab contains 7.6mg/3.5 oz
Beans: Black beans bring 1.3mg/cup while red beans give you 1.5mg/cup
🎃 The seeds from this gourd are zinc stars, with 2.2mg/oz
🧀 One of my fave foods provides 1mg/oz
🥣 A packet of instant oatmeal serves up 1.1mg
Got any zinc questions or a fave source? Lemme know! 👇

🛑 MONDAY REMINDER 🛑
I woke up today feeling SO behind. Not only was I traveling 🧳 for half of last week, I returned home with Covid and fell into 🛌 for another 3 days. I had to cancel pretty much everything, so yes, now I’m feeling behind. I could just start piling on with negative emotions 🖤 and dwell on all the things I’m NOT doing, but then I thought about the advice that a good friend would give me. She’d say—“It’s fine—it’ll get done eventually.”
Maybe you feel the same because you didn’t do all this stuff over the weekend👇
🥗 Meal Prep
🧺 Wash & fold clothes
🧽 Spring cleaning
🪴 Gardening and yard clean up
💰 Taxes
🏃‍♀️ Get in a good workout
Gentle reminder: Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Maybe today needs to be a slow day for you instead of a boss up day. Maybe you make a bowl 🥣 of oats instead of grain bowls for the week. It’s all good 😊
Tell me what you’re going to let go of today 👇

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂 BABE!
It’s Willa’s 13th birthday 🥳 today and as I 😢 and type at the same time, I’m overwhelmed by all the feels, but the one that sticks out the most today is pride.
I’m so proud of the person that my oldest daughter has become. She’s kind, curious and spirited and has been since she arrived on March 24th, 5 days late.
She’s been with me as I navigated balancing a full-time job @healthmagazine with breast milk pumping, TV appearances and so much more. And she welcomed her two younger siblings with open arms and an open ❤️
Willa—you are wise and wonderful and we can’t wait to see what you do next!
And to everyone out there, please send advice. I’m #parenting a teen now 😳

🪴 HAPPY SPRING 🪴
I’m beyond happy that it’s finally spring! I’m in AZ at a conference right now (see my stories for more), but as soon as I get 🏡 I can’t wait to start the garden clean up and get things ready to bloom 🌸 This is just our 2nd spring in the burbs, so I’m still learning a ton (tips welcome 🤗), but I know that I ❤️ being out there and digging in the dirt. Here are a just a few reasons why gardening is great for you:
🪴 Gardening is calming:
A 2011 study found that gardening helps lower cortisol levels more than reading after a stressful event
🪴 Gardening makes you 😊:
Not only does gardening improve your mood, it also boosts self-esteem. Studies have shown that people dealing with depression had significant improvements after spending time gardening regularly
🪴 Gardening helps you get vitamin D:
It’s not surprising that spending time outside helps you get more ☀️ But according to the EPA, most of us spend 90% of our time indoors, so we need to actively make time to be outside or else our bodies can’t make that super-nutrient, vitamin D.
🪴 Gardening is great exercise:
While it’s not as intense as 🏃‍♀️ it uses most of the major muscle groups and weeding is definitely a workout! Building some time into your schedule to garden can help you build 💪🏽
And if you have 👧🏻 bring them with you—gardening is an excellent way to introduce kids to so many concepts, especially where food 🍓 🫑 comes from!
Do you 💚 gardening? Tell me what you’re planting 🌱 this spring! I personally can’t wait to plant some 🍓 & 🌿

This is one of my most popular recipes and it’s one I turn to a lot for a quick and nutritious grab-and-go brekkie of snack. It packs in THREE a cups of baby spinach 🥬 and uses a combo of oat flour, rolled oats and whole 🌾 flour as the base. They are just sweet enough and you can and should add 🍫 chips to them 😉 They’re what you get when a muffin and a #greensmoothie have a 👶🏼
Grab the recipe 👆 or DM me for it. And if you’re 👀 for more GREEN ☘️, head to my St. Patrick’s Day snack tray from earlier this week. Enjoy all the green friends! 💚💚💚💚💚💚

💛 MAKE YOURSELF A PRIORITY 💛
Many people have told me they’re feeling stressed this week. It seems to be a combo of work, childcare and 🌎 events. Whatever is causing you stress, it can result in unhealthy behaviors, including drinking more 🍷 binging and restrictive eating.
Taking time for self-care, especially when you’re a parent, can feel like a luxury, but I’m here to tell you it’s a necessity. I always try to keep in mind that if I 🔥 out, I won’t be able to properly care for my family, let alone myself. So I take that time to invest back into myself. I called a friend yesterday and it made such a difference in my day. Today I’ll take time to read 📕 before I go into “mom mode” for my daughter’s sleepover.
If you need some ideas for taking care of your mind, body & soul, please download my free SELF-CARE GUIDE, which has 25 simple ideas for taking care of #1 (that’s you babe!). The link is 👆 or DM me for it 😊
What are you doing for YOU this weekend?

🍏 HAPPY RDN DAY! 🍏
Not only is it National Nutrition Month, today is #RDNDAY, which celebrates registered dietitian nutritionists and the work we do!
This isn’t the best photo of me (apple stem up my👃🏼), but I 💚 that it shows the lighthearted 😁side of nutrition. Sometimes RDNs get a negative rep for being the “food 👮‍♀️” but I guarantee you that we’re not. We’re in this profession to help people (kids included) learn how to enjoy all foods 🍕 🍇 🍨 🥩 🐠 🌾 🥛 in a healthy, balanced way.
Take a swipe through to see some of the incredibly talented and 🤩 fun RDNs I’ve had a chance to work with and play with over the years, as well as a few shots of some of the times I’ve been able to share nutrition knowledge with a wide audience.
Here’s to my fellow RDNs—keep doing what you’re doing—you are making a difference! 💚💚💚

💛 LET’S RISE! 💛
It’s International Women’s Day! It’s a day to celebrate yourself, your mother, your sister, your daughter—all women everywhere.
We deserve to be equal and to be paid equally. We deserve to speak up and be heard. We deserve to be recognized for our accomplishments and hard work.
While the theme this year is #breakthebias, my 💛 is with the women of 🇺🇦 today. I can’t imagine packing up my children and fleeing to another country by foot or by train, not knowing where we would end up or whether we would have any resources when we got there. These women are 💪🏻
brave and are doing what any mother would—protecting their children.
Let’s rise and stand together! 💙💛💙💛💙💛

LET’S 🎉 NUTRITION MONTH!
Today I got to do one of my favorite things—talk about the importance of healthy eating to overall well-being and show people how healthy food 🍎 🥦 🥚🥬 can be both nutritious & super 😋
I hosted a satellite media tour with @hopefoods (yummy organic hummus!), @activia (check out their new Immune Health product), @sproutfoods (meals + snacks for 👶🏼 and toddlers), and @misfitsmarket (major discounts on all your fave snacks, + 🥩 🐠 🥛 + produce). We did about 25 interviews—whew!
Here’s to celebrating 🥳 all that food does for our mind, body & soul ❤️

🍉 NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH!
Happy March friends! There’s a heck of a lot to celebrate this month.
🍍It’s officially Spring in 19 days 🌸 🌳 🐝
🍎 It’s the month when we get to 🎉 all the delicious and amazing foods that provide our bodies with the nutrients to do all the 😎 things we want to do, like play with our 👧🏼 👦🏽💃🏽 🏃‍♀️ 🚴 and use our big 🧠
🍊This year the theme for #nnm is Celebrate a 🌎 of Flavors, which I ❤️ air gives nutrition professionals a chance to talk to folks about how incorporate a variety of foods from various cultures 🍲 into a healthy eating pattern. And I’m all about #inclusion and the more flavor 😋 the better!
🥭 March is also special for me because it marks 10 years 😳 since I left my job as the Food & Nutrition editor @healthmagazine and started my own business, Milk & Honey 🍯 Media. The road has had its bumps and twists and there were plenty of hard moments (ask @ppreciating) when I nearly gave up because it didn’t feel like it was working to balance my own business 👩‍💼 with being a good mom to my 3 kids. But perseverance pays off, and I’m 😊 to say that I made the right decision, which has brought 🤩 opportunities to write books, create content, and share my #nutritionknowledge and I hope it will bring many more😁 Thank you to @arccltv and the amazing women there who keep the 🔥 going with their passion!
Here’s to celebrating all the flavors of the 🌎 and elevating this wonderful profession! 🎊

☀️ TOP VITAMIN D SOURCES ☀️
I just returned from sunny 😎 Florida, and you bet I soaked up the☀️ while I was there. After months in the Sun-deprived North, I know my vitamin D levels are low. I recently had my son Leo’s #vitamind levels checked after he was experiencing extreme fatigue. The doctor 🧑‍⚕️ checked for Covid of course and Lyme disease (which he’s had before). She wasn’t planning to check for D, but mom RDN spoke up and asked to add it to the panel. Sure enough, Leo’s level was low. And while spring is just around the corner, studies show that our vitamin D stores are lowest in March, so now is a great time to focus on getting more of this #essentialnutrient into your family’s diet. Here’s how to do it:
🐟 Tuna & salmon: Fatty fish 🍣 are one of the best food sources of vitamin D. Try to get 2 servings/week. One serving = about 3 oz.
🍄: While mushrooms do naturally contain the 🌞 vitamin, some are now enhanced with vitamin D through UV 💡 Look for labels that say “enriched with vit D” when you’re shopping.
🥛: Fortified milk and other dairy products contain vitamin D. You’ll get 120 IU of D/🥛Non-dairy milks may also be fortified with D.
🥣: DYK that fortified cereals are one of the top sources of vitamin D? And yep—pretty sure you can get your 👧🏼 👦🏽 to eat them 😉 Not all cereals are fortified, so look at the Nutrition Facts panel to be sure.
🍳: Yeah baby, time to scramble up some 🥚! Each incredible egg provides 44 IU.
🍊 Juice: This sunny 💯 juice is often fortified with up to 100 IU/glass. In addition to drinking juice, you can also add it to smoothies & popsicles 😋
What’s your fave way to get your vitamin D? I 🧡 🍣 + smoothies, of course 😉

🤩THE POWER OF PLAY🪄
We abandoned our screens, social media and 🗞 feeds this week in exchange for Butterbeer 🪄 and 🌴
If you’re a parent like me, you probably spend much of the day saying NO to things, checking to make sure your kids have done their homework ✔️ picked up their clothes ✔️ and eaten their 🍎 and 🥦 ✔️ So it’s truly a special time when you can put all that aside and just revel in the beauty of nature and the feel of ☀️ on your skin or in a made up 🌎 with made up food and 🍺 (PS: There is no booze in Butterbeer). If you’re a Harry Potter fan, swipe through to see some fun photos of Hogwarts and other fun areas of @universalorlando. It is truly magical! ✨ 🦄 🦖
I know that part of the 🌎 is at war right now and I acknowledge that we were very privileged to take this kind of vacation. Feeling lots of gratitude 🙏 for safety, security and health right now.
Wishing you all a peaceful and restful Sunday before we all jump back on the 🚂 tomorrow.

💖 3-INGREDIENT PINK DRINK 💖
We are headed to sunny ☀️ FL 🌴 soon and I can’t wait! We don’t have much food in the 🏡 right now because I was trying to use everything up before we left. But I do have the 3 ingredients you need for this naturally sweet & satisfying 😋 smoothie 🥤and I bet you do too😁
I’m calling it a Pink Drink because it looks like the beverage my daughter likes to order @starbucks but it’s actually the POMEGRANATE-BERRY SMOOTHIE from my Smoothies & Juices 📕 Here’s all you need:
1/2 cup pomegranate juice, chilled
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
1 cup frozen mixed berries 🫐 🍓
Blend, sip and enjoy! 😊
Research shows that polyphenol-rich pomegranate 🥤 can help fight inflammation related to diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and metabolic and cardiovascular 🫀 disorders.
If you’re on break with your family this week, have 🤩 If not, I still hope you have a fantastic week!

5 WAYS to ❤️ YOUR MUSCLES 💪🏽
It’s #nationalheartmonth and guess what—your ❤️ is a muscle. And no, you can’t stretch it like you can stretch your other 💪🏽 but all these other tips apply. Plus, every time you use the other gorgeous 🤩 muscles on your bod (calves, 💪🏽, triceps, glutes 🍑, quads), you are also putting that ❤️ muscle to work 👍
So LOVE 💕 your muscles by doing these 5 things:
Use them for at least 30 min/day. And do a combo of strength training & cardio: 🏃‍♀️ 🚴 💃🏽 🏋🏼‍♀️ 🧘🏻‍♀️ Walking 🚶‍♀️ is awesome too!
Stretch them: I know it’s hard to take extra time after a workout to stretch, but it doesn’t just feel good 😊 it’s actually essential for maintaining #flexibility and #rangeofmotion
Get potassium: this mineral is used by every cell in your body. It’s an #electrolyte and it is vital for the health of your ❤️ Plus, it signals your 💪🏽 to contract properly. Muscles will cramp and feel weak without enough #potassium. Foods rich in potassium are 🍌 🥔 raisins, dried apricots, spinach, 🥛 lentils + 🍣
Hydrate 💦: Being dehydrated just 2-3% can translate to poor performance during your workout 🏋🏼‍♀️ If you’re dehydrated your body can’t transport nutrients to your 💪🏽 making exercise feel much harder (who needs that?). Drink up before, during and after exercise. Hydrate with 💦 smoothies, hydrating foods 🍉 and yes— 🫖 + ☕️ count too 😊
Eat carbs 🥖: I know #protein gets all the attention when it comes to 💪🏽 but CARBS are super important too. They’re partially converted to glycogen, which is stored in 💪🏽 and is used to power 💥 your workouts. Focus on carbs that also provide fiber, like whole grain 🥣, 🥖 🍝 and get plenty of fruit 🍎 🍐 🍓 Dairy 🥛 is another nutrient-rich way to get carbs 😋
How are you going to 💕 your muscles today?

Spring IS coming, but until it actually arrives, I’ll be bringing the spring feels 🌱 with this HERBAL HEALER SMOOTHIE BOWL from my book, Smoothies & Juices.

The recipe does call for buttermilk or #kefir, but you can definitely make it with non-dairy 🥛too.
Be honest—are you into the idea of a savory smoothie?
Ingredients
1 cup low-fat buttermilk or plain kefir or non-dairy milk
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup cilantro
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 cucumber, seeded and chopped
1 scallion
1/2 avocado
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Toppings
1/2 cup baby arugula
1/2 cup sprouts
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon cilantro sprigs
1 cucumber, sliced

💜💕LOVE MORE! 💕💜
Today was a typical Monday:
⏰ Woke up late
😠 Willa took my clothes without asking
👧🏼 Phoebe didn’t want to go to school and wouldn’t put names on the Valentines 💕 we bought for the class
🐶 Hubby didn’t take out @latkethedoxie so he peed all over Leo’s coat—and it’s 16 F 🥶
So needless to say, I didn’t make this lovely 🥰 plate of 🧇 🍓 whipped cream and walnuts this morning. But the ❤️ was still there and even when I’m super annoyed 😒 at each and every family member, I really try to remember that all of these tantrums and questionable choices are fleeting and that what my kids and hubby and 🐶 actually need is less scolding and more ❤️
Here’s hoping your imperfect day is still filled with lots of LOVE for your family, friends, pets and especially for YOU! And whatever you do, DON’T feel any guilt over enjoying some sweet 🍫🍓 🎂 treats today!
❤️💜💕❤️💜💕❤️💜💕❤️💜💕

☀️ EYES ON THE PRIZE ☀️
Moms—I see you. The last two years have been so hard. I was reminded of that this weekend when Covid finally hit our 🏡 We are fine and miraculously only Phoebe tested positive, but the mental strain of worrying about when the next family member was going to get sick, or whether I had adequately Cloroxed all the doorknobs started getting to me. And DYK that you’re supposed to keep pets away from people with Covid? @latkethedoxie was not happy to be away from his little girl 👧🏼and neither was I.
I know we got luckier than many—my point is that the effort it takes for all of us to keep our families healthy (physically & mentally) does take its toll. So please remember that you’re not alone and also, please do something nice for yourself today and know that you ARE appreciated 🙏 even if your partner or kiddos or employer forgets to tell you. And there will be brighter, easier, more carefree days ahead, we just gotta keep our eyes on the prize.
And since it’s #nationalsendacardtoafriendday and I don’t have enough cards, let me just say: You are AMAZING 🤩 and are exactly enough! 💛 💛💛💛💛💛

HOW TO BUILD A FILLING SMOOTHIE
Smoothies are simple, right? That’s the beauty of including them in your wellness routine or using them to fill in nutritional holes, but there is definitely a right way and a wrong way to make a smoothie. And if you’re using them to help with weight management, you’ve gotta include these 3 things:
FIBER: it helps fill you up, improves digestion and encourages a #healthygut. Since most of us aren’t getting enough fiber, smoothies can help bridge the gap. Include #highfiber foods like 🥬 nuts, seeds, berries and whole grains like oats 👍
HEALTHY FAT: we need fat for SO many reasons. It helps us absorb certain vitamins and is involved with the creation of important hormones. It also helps us feel satisfied after a meal 😋 Include #goodfats from nuts, nut butters, 🥑 and chia, hemp and flax in your smoothies.
PROTEIN: This nutrient gets the most attention when it comes to weight loss and satiety—the feeling of being satisfied with the food we eat. It’s also key for building and maintaining 💪🏽 While protein is important for weight loss, more isn’t necessarily better. Our bodies can only utilize 30g at a time. You can add #protein to your smoothies with 🥛 (from 🐮 or 🌱), yogurt, kefir, nut butter and #proteinpowder.
LMK if you have other 🔥 amoothie questions. Happy to answer them! 😁And if you’d like to learn more about The Smoothie Plan, grab the link 👆
