🎃 Happy October! 🍁
This glorious ☀️ day was just a week ago and now we’re suddenly feeling really fall-like 🌧
This fun behind the scenes shot was part of our Everyday Snack Tray shoot, captured by the extremely talented and patient @laurenvolo ❤️
I’m not sure if you can see what’s in the Halloween 👻 snack tray here, but it’s a combination of sweet treats, fresh fruit 🍊 and other festive 🎃 eats, which is exactly what I hope we’ve captured in my new book (out in about a year), Everyday Snack Tray. It’s about finding joy 🤩 in being together and sharing food that helps you celebrate moments big & small, without any judgement or guilt. I can’t wait to share more about it with you!
Thanks to @emilyamick for the lovely hair/makeup and to @therockyowens for shepherding us all through a very hectic day😁
And here’s to October and all the 👻 🕷 👿 🍁🎃🍂 it brings!

☕️ HAPPY NATIONAL COFFEE DAY!
DYK it’s #nationalcoffeeday? And even though the weather is getting chillier, that doesn’t mean you can only drink hot ☕️ In fact, why not try it in this 😋 Energy Duo smoothie bowl from my book, Smoothies & Juices?
Caffeine lovers, listen up: Caffeine increases 👆 #dopamine, a neurotransmitter that enhances focus ⚡️ and lets you work out 💪🏼 harder without feeling like it’s a struggle 🙌🏼
Here’s how to make it:
1 cup ☕️ ice cubes
3/4 cup unsweetened almond 🥛
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 scoop protein powder
1 🍌
Blend and divide between 2 bowls. Top with cacao nibs, chopped hazelnuts, 🥥 chips and sliced 🍌
You also get 40% of your fiber for the day—now that’s awesome 😎
Do you caffeinate before workouts? 🏃🏿‍♂️

🧡POM-PUMPKIN ONO 🧡
I am not gonna lie—the pace of the last week or so has got me feeling 😴 But I know that the best way for me to feel like I’m back on track with my normal routine is to start the day with a filling and 😋 breakfast like overnight oats
This seasonal one includes both 🎃 purée and pomegranate arils (seeds), which bring a lovely little pop when you take a spoonful 😁 and the pecans add an earthy-sweet crunch to the mix.
Grab the easy recipe 👆
What helps you get back into a rhythm when life is hectic?

💜 HAPPY DAUGHTER’S DAY! ❤️
I am fortunate to have two wonderful and very different daughters who ❤️ me, challenge me, and teach me so many things. WILLA and Phoebe often take everyday moments and turn them into something fabulous, like this spa 🧖‍♀️ day moment 🥰 which never fails to make me 😊
Daughters will make you up your game and learn new things. And even though they’ll say things that will break your heart 💔 sometimes, there is no other love like it😍
And happy birthday 🎂 to my son Leo!

🍂NUTRIENTS FOR FALL🍁
Now that the seasons have changed and we need to worry about the flu, Covid 😷 and don’t forget, the common cold, it’s time to take a look at the nutrients that will help keep us healthy into the colder months.
Vit D: Stock up on canned tuna and 🍣 or use fortified OJ 🍊 And keep 🥚 on the menu
Calcium: You probably got plenty of 🦴 building calcium from 🍦 this summer, but let’s switch it up and add almonds, 🥬 yogurt and cottage cheese back in
Zinc: This centerpiece of the immune-system will help keep you well. Find it in 🥩 🍤 & garbanzo 🫘
Iron: So many women don’t get enough of this vital mineral! Especially if you follow a 🌱 based diet, you need to focus on getting it from dried apricots, lentils, tofu and seeds. A little 🍫 helps too😁
Vit C: Everyone knows that C is a BIG deal, but sometimes when life gets busy we skip our fruits & veg. Make an effort to include 🥦 🍅 🥝 🍊 and 🍓 every week👍
B vits: Energy, 🧠 health and cell metabolism are all affected by low B levels. Keep them up with rice, 🍳 and black 🫘
What do you do to stay well during fall?

KEEP YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM 💪🏼
Can you feel it? The temps here are dropping and I’m starting to see some 🍁 change color. But more than that, my daughter has already had a bad cold 🤧 and it’s only week 2 of school.
Here’s my list for how to keep yourself and your family 👦🏽 healthy this fall. And don’t forget to grab the link 👆 to my FREE immune-boosting checklist, which you can post on your fridge as a reminder😁
* Vitamins C & D: Both are essential for immune health. You can find C in fruit and veggies 🍓 🥦 🌶 🍊 and D in 🥚 🍣 and fortified dairy 🥛
* Beta-carotene: Try to get 2 sources each day, which is easy if you include 🥕 🥬 🥭 and squash in your diet
*Zinc: This mineral is also important for keeping your immune system intact and helping wounds heal. Find it in 🎃 and other types of seeds, plus 🥩 🐔 🥛 and chickpeas
* Hydrate: Keep those mucous membranes moist by drinking 💧broth, tea, and 100% juices. When your 👃🏼 dries out, it can’t trap 🦠
* 🧼 + 🤚: I know you are sick of this one, but keep at it!
* Get more/better 💤 : Turn off tech at least an hour before 🛌, cut off caffeine by 2 pm or so, use lavender to relax and try #melatonin if you need some help
* Move your body: whether it’s a walk, 🏃‍♀️ or time on @onepeloton, moderate exercise boosts immunity and👇 stress
* Get outside: 🌲 Being outside helps cut the stress hormone cortisol and also helps you get some vit D ☀️
* Meditate/socialize: stress hormones suppress immunity and both of these activities help 👇 stress.
* DM me if you have questions about my Immune Boosting Checklist! Let’s stay well friends😊

6 WAYS TO USE PUMPKIN SPICE 🎃
If you can’t escape PS, just embrace it! I do 🧡 the flavor of #pumpkinspice, but so many of the foods that showcase it are just too sweet for my 👅
If you feel the same, here are 6 🤩 ways to use PS that will give your meals and snacks that hit of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger, without the need for added sugar 😉 Also, make sure you’re buying REAL pumpkin spice (just the spices 👆) and not PS flavoring or syrups.
🧡 Add it to smoothies. 1/2 tsp is enough to spice up 1 serving
🎃Make a spiced nut mix. 1 tsp is enough for 2 cups of 🥜
🧡Stir into a 🥣 of oatmeal. Try 1/4 of a tsp for 😋
🎃Add to baked goods. Try using 1 tsp in your next load of 🍌 bread or muffins
🧡Add flavor to root veggies, like turnips, parsnips, 🥕 and 🍠 Dice and sprinkle with 🧂 and 1/2 tsp PS
🎃 Stir into lattes of course! Start with 1/4 tsp and add more to taste ☕️
Here’s my recipe for a POWERHOUSE 🎃 SMOOTHIE
1/2 cup 🎃 purée
7 oz Greek yogurt
1/2 cup 💦
1/4 🥑
2 T ground flaxseed
1 T pure 🍁
1/2 tsp 🎃 spice
Blend and enjoy! Follow @franceslrothrd for more doable and 🤩 nutrition tips for the whole family 😊

What’s the hottest fall 🍁 accessory? A healthy gut, of course! 😊
This recipe is something I make regularly because it’s easy, 😋 and it provides me with both PREBIOTIC FIBER & PROBIOTICS 🦠 and you need both to support a healthy gut. And as we head into the cooler months, it’s also a smart mix for supporting immunity, as it boasts VITAMIN D from the 🍳 and the 🍄 Dis I me room that this recipe is also cost-effective? And more 💰 saves on food can go to those hot new suede 👢 you’ve been eyeing😉

👋 SUMMER, HEY THERE FALL 🍂
I don’t know about where you are, but here in the NYC area it feels like it’s suddenly fall 🎃 y’all. I find that it can be hard to let go of summer ☀️ activities and the freedom of a less rigid schedule, so I need to remind myself (& my 👧🏼) that fall is pretty darn 😎 too
In case you need that reminder as well, here are 6 things to look forward to in the coming months:
☕️: Hot drinks like PS lattes, cocoa, matcha 🍵 and 🫖
🥾: Hiking! One of my fave activities because the whole family can do it and it’s a great way to explore the area 🏔
🍂: Leaf peeping! Always inspiring to catch those gorgeous 🌳 changing from green to red and gold 🍁
🎃: Probably one of my fave fall activities😁 Nothing better than some gourds to liven up your 🏡
🏈: Whether you’re in it for the game or the grilling, tailgating is a fun way to spend a Fall day 🍔
👢: Fall fashion. Boots and cozy 🧶 sweaters—need I say more?
Now tell me 👇 what you’re looking forward to this fall!

🍎 1st DAY OF SCHOOL! ✏️
I can’t say it was all 😊 today on this ☔️ first day back, but everyone made it on time ✔️
Leo is starting 6th grade, so he’s moved up to middle school, which I can barely wrap my head around 😳 After reading too many #bignate 📚 he started imagining only the worst for MS, but I know he can totally handle it 👍
Phoebe went glam today with 🧜🏿‍♀️ hair and sequins 🤩 She’s a third-grader now
WILLA is starting 8th, but she had a makeup 💄 snafu, so couldn’t make the 📷 shoot
If you’re sending your kiddos off to school today, please know that I’m thinking of you and understand that these days can be full off anxiety 😟 as well as joy ❤️ 🤗

HAPPY LABOR DAY!
Like many of you, I busted my butt earlier this summer so I could take a break and reconnect with the ones I ❤️, including my kiddos, extended family, friends and even @latkethedoxie. It’s kind of amazing wheat happened when you go off the grid, ignore the news cycle and let the pace of life slow down a little.
I hope you got to do the same and that you’re kicking back on this Labor Day! Happy #backtoschool too!

🍦SWEET SUMMER MEMORIES!
Hey friends, I just returned from a 2-week, much-needed break in Ellicottville in western NY.
I have a reel coming tomorrow with more of the exciting stuff we did, but I wanted to share a little slice of our vacay before it’s a distant memory:
🏊🏻‍♀️ We hit the pool @holidayvalley as much as possible
🫐 we picked our own berries and 🌽 at a local farm and it was 😋
🍷 @ppreciating and I had a date night @westroserestaurant while the kids had a sleepover 😴 with their auntie and made s’mores
❤️ I got to hang with my 👯‍♀️ from high school and got some sister time with the wonderful @largemankalnitz, plus the extended fam 😁
Just to keep it real, it wasn’t all 🍦 and 🌈 (though we saw 2 of those). There was a flat tire 🛞 and several tantrums when the kids didn’t want to do all the activities I had so carefully planned 🤷‍♀️ I’m learning that I need to give their ideas more voice and to let go of certain expectations. Baby steps😉
I hope you’re squeezing every last drop 🍋 out of summertime. Here’s to making some fall 🍁 memories soon
Tell me 👇 one 😎 thing or one crappy 💩 thing that happened this summer

☀️ LIVE BRIGHTER ☀️
As a busy mom of 3 👧🏼 and small business owner, my life is hectic! I need all the nutrients I can get to stay healthy as I power through my days. This summer was especially challenging as I wrote a cookbook in two months, which required extra early mornings and lots of stamina.

A balanced, mostly plant-based diet 🌱 has always been my go-to for staying healthy, but food may not be enough to help you get all the nutrients you need. That’s why I’ve been taking @solarayvitamins Liposomal Multivitamin for Women, which helps support whole body wellness. Containing 100% liposomal nutrients, the Solaray Liposomal Multivitamin line offers a targeted mix of immune system, bone 🦴 health, antioxidant and beauty support. I never want to look or feel run down, even when I might be burning the 🕯 at both ends!

Solaray Liposomal Multivitamins are 4 high-potency formulations that, thanks to proprietary technology, are designed to deliver enhanced nutrient absorption to help consumers get far more out of their multivitamins* – and this matters because the research shows that our bodies may only absorb a portion of the nutrients found in food and traditional vitamins.
Providing the very best in clean vitamin nutrition, Solaray prides itself on using only the highest quality ingredients. It is one of the original pioneers in the supplement space, trusted for nearly 50 years with a consistent track record of award-winning innovation.

Solaray connects consumers with the most efficacious supplements so people everywhere can Live Brighter and embrace the moments that matter the most, doing the things they ❤️ with the ones they 💕

🏖 POOL SNACKS 🦩
Two facts about me:
I ❤️ snacks
I like 🏊🏻‍♀️ pools more than the beach
And I haven’t really had the chance this summer to combine these two wonderful things 😞 BUT I’m leaving for vacation this weekend and I can’t wait to spend a LOT of time poolside, happily snacking 😋 on all of the 👆 plus a Bloody Mary 🍹
If you’re looking for a 🤩 new #smoothierecipe that’s super hydrating from 🥥 💦 and a little spicy from ginger and cayenne 🌶 plus fruity with 🥭 & 🥑, grab the recipe for my Sweet & Spicy Tropical 🌴 Smoothie 👆

🛑 FEELING BAD ABOUT THESE!
In a 🌎 where we have constant messages on social media and other media that you’re not doing things right, it can feel like every habit you have is a bad one. I’m here to tell you that “perfection” isn’t the goal. Happiness and overall health and wellness is. So here are a few things you can 🛑 feeling badly about:
Not 🥰 🥬: There are plenty of other healthy veggies 🥕 🥦 🥗 to 💚
Not cooking from scratch: Yes, it saves you 💰 and is a great way to eat healthy, but you can eat well without 🧑‍🍳 if it’s not your thing
Taking a time out: Moms—I know you’ve done this before! Do not feel badly about taking 20 or more to cool out and take a mental health break 🧘🏻‍♀️
Not loving 🏃🏿‍♂️ or intense 🏋🏼‍♀️: I have so many friends who have “confessed” to me that they just hate all the jumping and 😓 of intense exercise. That’s OK! You can still do a lot of good for your ❤️ and 💪🏼 with walking 🚶‍♀️ 🧘‍♂️ Pilates and more
Not being Marie Kondo: I know that IG is full of images of perfect kitchens and color-sorted 📚 shelves, but not everyone has the time or inclination to do that. Or, you might want to get super organized, but you have 👧🏼 in the 🏡 who mess it up right away, so why bother? You are still a good 😊 person if you’re not super organized 👍
Not making your 🛌: This one kind of goes along with the last one. Yes—it’s definitely a nice way to start the day, but if you do t make the 🛌 you can still have a productive day 😉
Having wrinkles: Sure, you dwell on the fact that you should have worn more sunscreen 🧴 in the ‘90s, but don’t beat yourself up about it. You’ve lived life. And if you want to get Botox, I’m here for it
Having another 🍪: Because in these times, sometimes one 🍪 isn’t enough.
What are you going to 🛑 feeling badly about today?

What Are Liposomal Vitamins?
You may have been hearing more and more about liposomal technology in supplements recently. They are designed to offer enhanced nutrient absorption by protecting vitamins on their way to absorption sites in your body.* The new, game-changing Liposomal Multivitamins from @solarayvitamins do that by encasing the vitamins in pockets of fat called “liposomes.”
Based on clinical studies that show that liposomal vitamin C and B-12 are carried to absorption sites more effectively than traditional supplement forms, @solarayvitamins created the first-of-its-kind #liposomalmultivitamin collection in dehydrated form to help support various life stages: Universal, Women’s, Women’s 50+ and Men’s. @solarayvitamins recent #FoodisNotEnough campaign recently highlighted that we’re only absorbing a portion of the nutrients in our food and from traditional vitamins. The innovative @solarayvitamins Liposomal Multivitamin helps solve this absorption issue!
Gentle to digest and odor-neutral, @solarayvitamins Liposomal Multivitamins promote whole body wellness 😊 with 100% of the Daily Value of at least 18 vitamins and minerals with targeted formulas to support the immune system, 🦴 health, and beauty.*
Want to get more out of your multivitamin? Check out @solarayvitamins’s new Liposomal Multivitamin line and try risk-free for 60 days using code GETMORE20 at the link in my stories!

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
⅓ cup all purpose flour
⅓ cup whole wheat flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups regular oats

💜QUICKIE SELF-CARE 💜
Need a quickie? Not that kind 😉 the self-care 🛁 type. I have been so head down, blinders on working toward my 📕 deadline that I really did a number to my back 🤕 I realized that even though I’m sprinting, I still need to breathe 🧘🏻‍♀️ and take care of myself or else I may just not be able to finish the book.
In case you’re in the same situation, here are 6 ways to take care of yourself in less than 20 min. Now that’s my kind of quickie!
Which one will you try today? I’ll be taking @latkethedoxie on a forest 🌲 bath😁 And I’ve ordered @jenniferweinerwrites new book, The Summer Place—can’t wait to read it poolside later this month 🏖

BLUEBERRY 🫐 SEASON!
I couldn’t let July slip by without giving a shoutout to one of my 🤩 summer fruits. Blueberries are 😋 and loaded with antioxidants and 🧠 boosting nutrients🙌🏼
July is #blueberrymonth and it’s also the month when many kids go hungry in the US. For every blueberry post you make this month, @blueberries will donate $1 to @nokidhungry. Each post will help raise the money for 50k meals for kids! 😁
Here are some blues 🫐 I picked in Western NY a few summers ago. Scroll through to see my Blueberry 🫐 Cobbler Smoothie. You can grab the recipe at the link 👆

HOW TO STAY ACTIVE IN THE 🥵
We are on Day 3 of scorching 🔥 temps in the NYC area and I know there are plenty of other folks suffering in the heat in the US and abroad.
Here are some tips for staying safe while you 😅 I’d ❤️ to hear what other advice you have for keeping safe in the heat!
☀️ Since the sun rises so early in the summer, you’ve got to get up with the 🐦 to completely miss the 🌞 but if you head out early or later in the day, you’ll be missing the hottest and most dangerous parts of the day
💜 Like with so many things in life, you’ve got to listen to your body and recognize when you’ve had enough. If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or are feeling clammy or experiencing quickened breathing or a faster pulse, you may have heat exhaustion. Go inside where there’s AC, drink 💦, take a cool 🚿 or use a cold compress. If symptoms get worse it may be heat stroke 🥵 and you should seek immediate medical attention ⚠️
💧Hydration is non-negotiable. You have to start drinking H2O or other beverages as soon as you wake up. Continue drinking while active and afterwards 👍
⚡️ Electrolytes help you stay hydrated. When we 😓 we lose sodium and potassium. We can usually replace them with a meal 🥗 but when it’s this hot, we may need extra to feel well. I always use an electrolyte mix when 🏃‍♀️ outside in the heat and also on the indoor 🚲
🧢 Light colors and loose clothing are best (think running 🩳 instead of tight 🚲 🩳) choose wicking, performance fabrics
🧴 Use a waterproof sunscreen that is at least SPF 30. If I’ll be outside for a while, I bring a stick from @shiseido and reapply often. And I also protect use @freshbeauty lip balm with SPF
🌲 Find trails that are at least partially in the shade. Do warm ups and cool downs in a shaded area
🧊 Some research shows that immersing yourself in 🥶 water before exercising in 🥵 improved endurance athletes performance. Eating crushed 🧊 was also helpful.
Stay safe this weekend friends! 😊 Get more tips in my SUMMER FITNESS TOOLKIT. Link 👆

HAPPY NATIONAL 🌭 DAY!
Just popping in to say that if you want to enjoy a 🌭 with all the toppings, go for it! I just enjoyed the one with the 🧅 and ketchup and mustard, but I’m also a big fan of the one with the BBQ sauce and baked beans 😋
I used the uncured Do Good Dogs from @applegate, which use 🐄 raised with farming practices that help regenerate the land.
How are you topping your 🌭 today? Grab more ideas at the link 👆

+ MORE PROTEIN TO SMOOTHIES 👍
You know I ❤️ #smoothies and of course, I also ❤️ #protein. You don’t always need to focus on making sure your smoothie is protein-packed, but if you’re using it to fuel ⛽️ up #postworkout or as a meal, you’re gonna want to boost that protein 💪🏼
Here are 8 😋 ways to do that!
Oats: not only do oats thicken up your smoothie, 1/2 cup adds 6g of protein, plus fiber 💩
Spirulina: 1 T adds 4g protein, plus a vibrant dose of color 💚
Silken tofu: This add in blends up super creamy and 3 oz adds 4g of high quality 🌱 protein
🥬: Leafy greens like kale or spinach pump up the protein by about 1g/cup
Greek yogurt: This power-packed addition boosts ⚡️ your smoothie by a whopping 17g per 3/4 cup, and adds a hefty dose of calcium for strong 🦴
Nut butters: Add 7-8g protein with 2 T almond or 🥜 butter, respectively 😋
Seeds: These tiny beauties are a great way to add more protein to anything. 2 T chia adds 5g, while 3 T hemp boosts your smoothie by 10g
Cacao nibs: 🍫 These crushed cocoa beans provide 4g of protein in 3T, plus plenty of crunch!
What’s your fave protein booster foods smoothies? I’m a nut butter and chia gal 😋

MODERN 3 BEAN 🫘 SALAD 🥗
Happy weekend friends! Got plans with friends? If you’re looking for something to make that everybody can eat, I got you 😉
I’ve always 💚 a 3-bean salad, but the traditional ones I grew up eating were a bit too on the sweet 🍬 side. I mean, do you really need 1/3 cup sugar in your 🫘? Nah. And most of them are all bean and no crunch, so I added some celery to my version. Give it a try and LMK what you think!
This is loaded with 🌱 protein and will only take 10 min out of your busy day to make 👍
Oh, and if you want to keep it 💯 vegan 🌱 skip the 🍯 and use agave.

SUMMER CAMP🏕 LUNCH IDEAS!
Ok, I did put this together for busy parents like me, who are running out of ideas for their kids’ camp lunches. But the truth is that these make fabulous balanced lunches for me and YOU!
☀️ Cranberry Turkey Wrap: either add dried cranberries or use a cranberry relish to add a pop of flavor 😋
🍎 Add thin apple slices to a pita and fill with 🌻 butter
🥪 Hummus & veggies FTW! I like 🥒 and 🍅 and shredded 🥕 is nice too
🍱 A little if this and a little of that is always 👍 Try 🧀 crackers and 🍇 for hydration, plus a hard-boiled 🥚 for protein
🍜 Toss soba noodles with edamame, diced red 🫑 (I can’t stand the green ones!) and some ginger 🥗 dressing
🍕 They ❤️ pizza, so put their fave (or your fave) toppings on a 🥯

💖 HAPPY POLYPHENOL DAY! 💖
What’s a polyphenol you say? They’re the 🌱 pigments that give our fave fruits 🍉 🍇 🍏 and veggies 🥕 🥦 🥬 and whole grains their amazing color 🌈 and health-promoting and disease kicking superpowers 🦸‍♀️
One of my fave sources of polyphenols is the pomegranate. Every pomegranate has 700mg of polyphenol antioxidants in each 8-oz serving. Use it to make this sweet-tart Pomegranate-Berry Smoothie 😋
Recipe 👆 Its super refreshing on these 🥵 days.
