There is something so cozy and satisfying about fall recipes. Especially when they are easily prepped + hassle-free!!! Seasonal, fall produce is naturally so flavorful so the recipes don't require…

How to LIVE YOUR 😊story 💯🙌🏼✨ #1 Sto

Need an easy #sundaybrunch idea? ✨🥑🍳🥬

Yay! #Friday!! Who's ready for the weekend! 🙌🏼I wanted to use #followfriday as an opportunity to introduce myself and my #healthcoaching work. Thanks for the follow & Welcome :)

⁠
✨I'm an #IIN certified #holistichealth #coach and love ❤️ nutrition, wellness and food!! Cooking, Baking & Dining at yummy, #healthyish restaurants in #atx brings me JOY!

✨I rarely follow a recipe. I usually just get in the kitchen and find a flow. I'm not a very creative person, but I guess you could say I get creative in the kitchen! 😊Even if I set out to follow a recipe to the letter, I usually get off track or become inspired to make it my own in some way 😲

✨I met my husband Max on a chance encounter during a girls' weekend in Las Vegas. He's the reason I'm in Austin, and he totally changed the trajectory of my life🙏🏻When you trust your heart—good things happen.

✨We have 2 kids-- Zander (8) and Zia (6) who are my biggest motivators in eating clean, balancing our nutrition and staying active. I love being a mom and I'm so thankful for these "guides"

✨I've been running #happydinneratx for 2 1/2 years. It's still a very new project with more growth ahead, but I'm finding #joyinthejourney and I #LOVE working 1x1 with my clients. I'm really proud of the intimacy and trust I've been able to build while #healthcoaching. It's truly remarkable to see transformations, new habits, health realizations and #selflove grow before my eyes.

✨I love to sweat!! #exercise is one of my loves, and I'm always curious about what's new/ next in the fitness world and often drag Max along to “try” them 😂. I grew up as a dancer, and it instilled an unbreakable discipline to move my body every single day!!

✨My first job in high school was making EAS Protein shakes at a heavy weight lifting gym. I remember being so curious about vitamins and supplements and how they enhanced or supported a workout even then! A little bit full circle ⭕️

✨love the idea of having a garden and we've successfully grown more veggies than I thought--but I don't find joy in gardening. Wish I did!

✨I love people, connecting and building #authenticrelationships

✨Colorado (in summer) is my happy 😊 place

Happiness is a #habit y’all ☺️✨. How will

Let’s Talk Smart Smoothie Formula 🙌🏼💯🎉

Most of my clients rave that their AM smoothie ritual is the single most impactful habit of their day! 👌🙌🏼The one that is easiest to sustain, and yields the biggest BANG for the smallest effort!!

Balanced Green Smoothies simply elevate your morning, and start your day on a positive, energetic, veggie filled note!! Your body craves what you feed it y’all!

Here's an easy checklist to make sure your smoothie is on par with your health goals!

✨Gather Your Greens!! It is mandatory that your smoothie contain at least ONE, but preferably THREE veggies. Baby spinach and Butter Leaf are almost undetectable + yield a fluffy texture. Cucumber & celery are great forms of hydrating minerals, and frozen riced cauliflower gives your smoothie a creamy, delish consistency!

✨Fold in FAT AND FIBER! Fat + Fiber keep you full, focused and your blood sugar steady– so you can conquer your day! Avocados, Nut Butters, Hemp Seeds, Chia Seeds, Flax and Coconut Oil are some of my favorite clean sources of healthy fat with fiber. 2 TB is all you need!

✨Pack In Protein! My favorite source is Unflavored Marine Collagen Peptides or Bone Broth Protein. If you are vegan–100% Organic Hemp Protein is delicious, high in fiber and anti-inflammatory.

✨Limit Fruit to ONE (maybe two) Servings! I love using berries bc they are high in antioxidants + fiber and low in sugar. Bananas and dates are also great options! They lend your smoothie a sweeter flavor, creamier texture + fuel your body with potassium & magnesium! The goal with fruit is to use a couple servings to provide quick energy. More than that will spike your blood sugar and negate the entire purpose of a green smoothie!

✨Super Smoothies come From Superfoods! Cacao powder and nibs are my all time favs because of the chocolate like flavor + the beneficial antioxidants. I also really love moringa for a dose of extra greens, turmeric for inflammation support and fresh herbs (especially mint and cilantro) for a detoxifying effect.

Looking to upgrade your smoothie game in 2021🎉 --head to the #linkinmybio for a few new recipes! I've been making the Green Butter Leaf Smoothie on repeat
