Since I started eating vegan, a majority of my previous go-to snack are now off limits because they contain meat or dairy. Previously, I would opt for protein rich snacks such as protein bars, cheese sticks and Greek yogurt. I was honestly a little lost as to what to eat for snacks when I first … Continue reading My Vegan Snack Staples
One of the big problems people have when they want to start eating healthy is where to start. There is so much information on the web and it can be intimidating. Do you go vegetarian? Cut out carbs? Restrict your calories to 1200 calories per day?? Unfortunately, health isn't something most of us learn in … Continue reading My Top 5 Tips on How To Eat Healthy
When I first started my fitness journey, I began to follow a bunch of fitness Instagram accounts. These accounts gave me healthy recipe ideas, gym workouts, and helped keep me accountable to my goals. Over the years however, I've realized that just because a fitness Instagramer does something doesn't mean you have to and just … Continue reading Healthy Recipes and Items That Aren’t Worth It
Wow, this year is flying by! One of my goals this month is to publish a post at least once a week and as you can see I'm a little behind... The hardest part for me when I first started my fitness journey was my diet. Now before I go any further, let me explain … Continue reading What a Typically Day of Eating Looks Like
About a year ago, my friend told me she was going on a Keto diet to help her lose some weight. Not knowing what this was, I did a little research about it. The gist of this diet is that you eat a high fat, moderate carb and low protein diet in an effort to … Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Treats
With Fall just around the corner, it's almost a given that I had to make something pumpkin-y. I honestly don't know why pumpkin flavored things are only around in the Fall. If it was up to me (and probably most girls) I'd have it available year-around. But I guess that's what makes it so special, … Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Protein Balls
I’ve been slacking on the recipes these past couple of months so here is one I discovered that turned out DELICIOUS! I found this recipe from Shape.com and modified it slightly. You can find the original receipt here. The recipe said to make 2 batches because you'll eat the first batch within 5 minutes and … Continue reading Reese’s Protein Balls
I've been on the hunt for some delicious protein balls but it seems that every time I make them, they end up chalky or really high in fat from all the peanut butter. I stumbled across @GraceFitUK's recipe and after reading some of the reviews, decided to test them out. To my surprise, they weren't … Continue reading Chocolate PB Protein Truffles
Ok, so I'm really excited to post this recipe because it's DELICIOUS and will definitely help you with your ice cream cravings. I have regular ice cream ever now and then (I can't go without Ben & Jerry's Half Baked) but sometimes I want a healthier version of ice cream. There are healthy versions of … Continue reading Chocolate Nice Cream
One thing I can't live without is chocolate. I love having a sweet snack before heading off to bed but I've had a hard time finding a dessert I like that's also healthy. (I LOVE Keep It Cleaner's Radical Rocky Road; however, I wanted a treat that was a little higher in protein.) After months … Continue reading Dark Chocolate Protein Bites
