    What I Ate Wednesday

    Mar 1, 2017 • What I Ate

    Hello lovelies! Look at that face though… I can’t even take his cuteness!!

    Hope your week is going fab. Let’s get into my yummy plant based eats for this What I Ate Wednesday. 


    HYDRATION:

    Every single morning, water, water water, before anything else, as you guys already know!

    I drink 24 ounces (3 cups) of filtered water every single morning, usually with 1/2 lemon (and I’ve been adding a splash of cranberry lately, just for fun!). I use this ginormous mason jar all day every day because no one cup is ever big enough?? Plus, I can measure out my water intake and try to drink 3 mason jars filled with water per day. Water helps to rehydrate the body after a long night?s rest when we get dehydrated and is so essential to wake up the body and start on the right track. Also, my skin looks so much smoother and stays clear!

    Then a couple cups coffee… hashtag coffee addict, with my fave non-dairy creamer (and you guys ask me all the time) so I use ? the Silk Almond Vanilla Flavored Creamer (check out my superfood coffee elixir recipe too!).

    BREAKFAST:

    It was feeling warm and spring-like… so it was a Mermaid Smoothie Bowl kind of morning 🙂 this bowl has frozen bananas, spinach, avocado, spirulina, plant based protein and a little almond milk – topped with bloobs, coconut and chia superfood topping. Best smoothie bowl I’ve had in a long time!

    What I Ate Wednesday

     

    SNACK: 

    A little while later, when doing emails and working on my upcoming Meal Plan (which has turned into a 2-week plan), I snacked on an apple and coconut larabar!

    What I Ate Wednesday

    LUNCH: 

    Lunch was a very typical glow bowl. With a mix of kale + romaine, quinoa, roasted sweet potato (with paprika!), black beans, probiotic kraut (from Farmhouse Culture) and tahini sauce (recipe here). The yummiest!

    What I Ate Wednesday

     

    SNACK:

    While making a quick stop at target, I needed a little pre-workout fuel, so I snacked on these Emmy’s Dark Cocoa Coconut Cookies. I pretty much died and went to heaven… these are amazing and I need to re-create them.

    What I Ate Wednesday

    DINNER:

    After a booty workout at the gym, I made a bowl with a mix of brown rice, zucchini, asparagus and chickpeas with italian spices and lemon juice. I had another small bowl after, along with this BluePrint kombucha which I loved. 

    What I Ate Wednesday

    I had a small bowl of popcorn mixed with a handful of vegan chocolate chips afterward too… not pictured tho… too lazy ha.

    ?

    Hope you enjoyed this What I Ate Wednesday!

      I’m kind of late to the smoothie bowl game, but I started making them recently and am loving them! Everything looks delicious as always! And Taz is too cute. 🙂

    & my hair needed SERIOUS HELP. It was super oily & my hair needed SERIOUS HELP.

It was super oily and greasy with buildup from past products. I was washing daily… and just unhappy with the dullness and lack of volume. That has since changed!

Aside from getting transformed hair, this opportunity allows motivated women to have another income source. It allows mamas to have the best of both worlds - their own income while raising their babies (if you’re in that phase of life). It provides social media training, so much guidance and support (you’re never doing it alone), earned confidence and most importantly, community. Some of my best friends are here now because we talk daily and know everything about each other’s lives! Surrounding yourself with like-minded successful women can turn your life around. I’m not kidding. You are who you surround yourself with. It’s more than just shampoo. 

All it takes is deciding YES and stepping out of your comfort zone.  Don’t let life pass you by. Stop wondering and start taking action! 🥂 

If you’re ready, DM me BIZ and let’s chat 💞

    what healing looks like 🌼🩷 I starts out my what healing looks like 🌼🩷

I starts out my morning with a bunch of supplements to eliminate parasites and bacteria and repair my gut while supporting my liver and gallbladder. Next I make a protein smoothie with vanilla whey protein powder and a custom supplement to support my deficiencies. And lastly my creamy dandy blend latte because I’m not drinking coffee right now.

This is what works for me right now! I also have gf toast usually from @awgbakery. I’ve had to eliminate so many things but it’s all for good reason, to reduce all the inflammation. I’m working with @lifelabwellnessco if you would like your own custom plan and testing 🙏🏼 should I share more videos like this?
