Otoko Austin Y'all know I LOVE good food, so it's no surprise that one of my favorite hobbies is going out to eat :). I think I missed my calling…

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

Happiness is a #habit y’all ☺️✨. How will you cultivate your #joy today?

Yesterday was happy 😊 & heavy😌 depending on the perspective. I’m not getting into politics here, but I will say that no matter where you stand, choosing to be #happy and consistently making room for the things, people and acts that bring you joy is a habit worth maintaining! 🙌🏼

There is simply no reason to postpone joy & happiness for a future date! When it’s all figured out, when your that “perfect” size, when you have more “time”, when work is caught up , when the house is clean. Nope 👎 that’s your mind keeping you on a perpetual treadmill that never ends. Robbing you of presence, robbing you of joy!

Get out in the world 🌎 do your thing!! Do what you love, make time for what feels good, nourish your body and even more importantly nourish your mind with love ❤️ & positivity!

Love 💕 y’all!

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

#toasttuesday y’all!! LOVE these simple, flavo

#toasttuesday y’all!!

LOVE these simple, flavorful ideas from @real_simple 🙌🏼❤️ Smoked salmon & pesto is one of my staples, but I think the ricotta + orange 🍊 toast sounds divine! I use the #kitehill #dairyfree ricotta 👌

My favorite way to enjoy bread 🥖 is a good clean local sourdough with around 4 basic ingredients! Ezekiel makes some awesome #grainfree breads too! Another idea is to use roasted sweet potato 🍠 as your “toast” 💯🎉

Make it a great day y’all! Nourish yourself in a way that feels good 😌

Making time for important relationships & friendsh

Making time for important relationships & friendships in your life is not frivolous!! It’s essential ❤️

Strong, positive relationships are as essential to our health as diet & movement and just as important as being productive at work!

I know it’s so much easier to say you don’t have time, life is too crazy, or you will plan something “soon”...but do yourself a favor and invest in your relationships! They are so good for your heart, mindset & soul!

Today I had the pleasure of a delightful walk in the sunshine with Zander followed by a game of HORSE (I got schooled BTW😂). Zan and I are both “busy bodies” often fluttering in our own orbits...if I don’t consciously make an effort for us to connect, we will literally just be 2 ships sailing by each other day in and day out.

Same with my girlfriends 👯‍♀️ 👯‍♀️
Yesterday we FINALLY made brunch happen, and it was just so nice to be together and belly laugh! We see each other on social media and quickly at school drop off, but it’s just not the same!!

I keep reminding myself that #savor is my intention for 2021 -and making time and space for friendship is a big part of how I would define savory experiences!! So this is #livingmytruth

Furthermore—-As humans, we are naturally social creatures that crave some capacity of physical connection

Do yourself a favor and see if you can schedule some 1x1 time with someone you love this week! It’s like therapy, it’s like a breath of fresh air, it’s fun and it’s definitely not frivolous!!!

happy dinner atx.

Together we will create a healthy lifestyle that becomes your new normal!
