Love this verse @blueridgechurch posted today 🖤🤍 “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.” James 1:19 #blackouttuesday
“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.” John 15:12

I spent a lot of time with God this morning trying to muddle through the sadness and anger I’ve felt from the racial injustice in our country. I came across a quote from @anniefdowns that really spoke to me and summed up a lot of my emotions right now: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Loving others means being present with them in their pain, being present with them in their joy. It means being all there.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you‘re not sure where to start in all of this, prayer is a powerful thing. I’ve been praying for George Floyd’s family, for the black community, for my black students, for business owners who‘s stores have been damaged, for our good policemen and their families, to have a better understanding of how I can advocate for my black friends, and for our county to find unity in all this. Start with prayer 🖤🤍 #strongertogether #powerofprayer
Taking food pics in front of my fiddle makes my food look 100 times more fancy 😂🌿 also right after this pic, Yogi knocked over my orchid with his cone of shame... ya can’t win them all 🤪

One of the things I missed while eating mostly plant based was EGGS 🍳 sure there’s tofu scrambles out there, but they don’t come close to the yummy goodness of real eggs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When incorporating more animal proteins into my diet, I’ve been trying to be particular about the quality of the food. For these eggs I grabbed the pasture-raised dozen 🥚 it can be confusing to know the difference in cage-free, free-range, and pasture-raised eggs. In my stories I posted a quick snapshot of the difference. I’m a fan of pasture-raised not only because these hens have a much better quality of life, but they tend to eat a healthier diet since they eat outdoors and research has shown they produce healthier eggs (more omega 3 healthy fats, vitamin D, vitamin E, and beta-carotene than traditional feed eggs). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Head to stories to see how to make this easy breggy 🍳 Whenever I make eggs, I try to incorporate veggies too to add more fiber and vitamins. Baby spinach tends to be my go to since it wilts so fast. Add a little healthy fat with avocado 🥑, or a bit of organic cheese if that’s your thing 🧀 Pair with some high fiber gg crackers or a light while grain English muffin, and you’re in business for a well balanced healthy breakfast to keep you full for hours! 😋

My green Reese’s cup smoothie is on stories today 😋 not the prettiest color (tried to make it look more appealing with my fiddle in the background 🤣) but this smoothie is dang delish! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I gave some tips for making the smoothie creamy and delish in stories, but here’s a quick recap for easy reference (following @bewellbykelly Fab Four formula):
-2 scoops @alohamoment chocolate protein powder
-1 tablespoon chia seeds
-1 tablespoon peanut butter
-2 cups baby spinach
-2ish cups unsweetened almond milk ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This smoothie doesn’t have any fruit in it, meaning it won’t cause a huge spike in your blood sugar levels. It also helps keep you full for hours because of the balance of healthy fats + protein. This is my go to whenever I need a quick meal!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lastly- I’m soooo glad I opened in stories that I’ve felt paralyzed to post since my eating habits have changed. I was so nervous how to explain the shift and wasn’t sure how it would be received. But honestly I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I’m just excited to be present on social again and be transparent about the healthy meals I’m eating (both with animal and plant based proteins). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cheers to green smoothies and being authentic ✨ missed you guys! #greensmoothie #smoothie #fabfour #fabfoursmoothie #plantprotein #drinkyourgreens #healthyrecipe #healthcoach #healthyfood #fab4smoothie
Good morning and Happy Memorial Weekend! Starting today off with making my usual blueberry chia oatmeal, but topped with raspberries for a little red, white, and blue action 🇺🇸
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Took a break from the gram because #life and we have a lot of moving parts going on with our upcoming move! So exciting, but dang I’ll be happy when we are settled 🤪 decided to change up our quarantine spot and getaway from the packing to visit my parents this long weekend! Hope y’all are having a great weekend and are able to soak up a little sun too!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And lastly... some big news!! We also added a new family member to our family this past week... check out my stories later today to see the newest addition to our fam 🤗 #plantbased #plantbasedrecipe #wholefoodplantbased #vegan #healthyvegan #veganrecipe #healthyveganrecipe #forksoverknives #eatmoreplants #veganforeverybody #feedfeed #thevegansclub #vegangotgame #vegolab #theplantbasedpage #goodoldvegan #jbcpresets #memorialdayweekend #oatmeal
About to share this recipe, but before I do- Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas, stepmoms, grandmas, aunts, and those longing to be mothers! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today is such a beautiful reminder of what unconditional love looks like. But it can also be a difficult day for many. I’ve been pretty transparent about our fertility journey, and I know many of you are on a similar path. I pray today serves as day of hope for your future rather than a painful reminder of what isn’t 🤍🌈

On this beautiful morning, I whipped up some whole wheat blueberry pancakes 🥞modifying a recipe from my fav cookbook. Here’s the deets:
•2 cups whole wheat flour
•2 teaspoons baking powder
•1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•1/4 teaspoon salt
•sprinkle of cinnamon
•2cups unsweetened almond milk
•1 mashed banana
•1 teaspoon vanilla ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside
2️⃣ Mix the remaining ingredients in another bowl until well combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix until no clumps are left. Let sit for 5 minutes.
3️⃣ As the mixture sits, preheat a skillet on medium-medium/high (depending on how hot your stove runs). Spray with a cooking spray or use a little coconut oil.
4️⃣ Pour pancakes on the skillet (your choice how big or small) and cook about 3-4 minutes on each side (until golden brown). I sprinkled mine with blueberries while they cooked 😋
