So get this, I work at a university and last week Thursday was freshman move in day so my building was crawling with clueless kids and their parents who also seemed to be pretty clueless. There are two gender neutral bathrooms near my office that I usually use. I drink a gallon of water if…
Breakfasts
Blackberry and Coconut Water Dutch Chocolate Smoothie
Pills and powders and capsules OH MY! Let’s face it, nutrition can be hard. Every article you read tells you something different and everyone you talk to is peddling the simple pre-made and portioned food line. Not to mention you have the “Dr. Midday show” telling you that you are deficient and going to die…
Sweet Potato Toast 3 Ways
I have never seen so many “motivational Monday” posts and quotes as I have seen today and the day isn’t even over yet. We all have motivation in us. It is what we do with that motivation is what matters the most. I can sit here and spit motivational quotes to you left and right but…
Chocolate Protein Banana Overnight Oats
You read that right, overnight OATS. In a previous post I mentioned that things will be changing a bit around here and one of those things are non-paleo recipes. I used to “label” myself as paleo and I stuck to a paleo diet 99 percent of the time for a very long time. Over the…
Strawberry Banana Muffins
I’m going to be blunt here, leading a healthy life is.not.hard. It will only be as difficult as you make it. There are people out there that make excuse after excuse why they can’t workout or why they can’t eat healthier. They claim they are so busy and just don’t have the time. You know…
Italian Sausage Egg Muffins
It’s that time of year where people start thinking about their New Year’s resolution. I’ll be honest, I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions. Shouldn’t we have those goals that we set yearly for ourselves always? Why do you need to make a New Year’s resolution when you should be trying to be your absolute…
Paleo Waffles
Well, my whole30 ended yesterday and I may or may not be typing this with a glass of wine in hand…. Overall, I feel my first whole30 went pretty well. It wasn’t a huge change of how I already eat so I was never miserable. I did however, have situations where I really wanted to…
Smoked Salmon Frittata
Today is the first day of my “Whole30.” I added parentheses because I am customizing it a tad. I am already well aware of the foods my body can and cannot handle. So, going into my first Whole30 I am focusing on eating whole unprocessed foods while still implementing protein supplements. My body functions better…
Green Machine Smoothie
I started my paleo journey about three years ago. I wasn’t over weight (bigger and fluffier, yes), I didn’t have food allergy on food allergy and nothing was physically “wrong” with me. I started eating paleo because I was curious. I was working really hard with fitness and my workouts and knew I needed to…
Paleo Apple Cinnamon “Oatmeal”
In the spirit of fall, I just had to post something fall like! Oatmeal was a big staple in my diet before discovering paleo. I ate it just about every single morning for breakfast. I will sometimes still throw it in when I feel I am pretty depleted of carbs, 80/20! I started reading the…
