You know when you have a really productive day and you just feel like you can take over the world? Well I had one of those kinds of days.... and now all I want to do is sit home and eat. 😂 . I made these raspberry coconut bars and they hit the spot. Gluten-free, vegan and ridiculously easy to make. 👌🏻 . Combine coconut butter + raspberry purée + coconut flour + a little bit of vanilla extract until it forms a moldable consistency. Then form them (or roll them out) into squares and keep it fridge to allow them to harden up. Then combine chocolate + a little bit of coconut oil + sea salt and heat until melted. Dip the squares into the chocolate and stick back in the fridge. . Happy hump day! . . . . . . . . . #wholefoods #eatclean #getinmybelly #realfood #healthylifestyle #organicfood #foodie #fitfood #eatclean #mindbodygram #iamwellandgood #feedyoursoul #eatgood #healthyrecipes #cleaneats #tastespotting #healthyliving #healthyrecipes #fuelyourbody #newmomlife #nourishingfoods #mindfuleating #nourishyourbody #paleorecipes #healthybodyhealthymind #eatrealfood #glutenfreelife
This is 32. 🎂 . One year ago, when I turned 31, I could have never imagined my life would have turned out the way it has in only 1 year. Little would I have known that I was about to sell my house, decide to move to Austin, and the same day we signed our lease...find out I was pregnant. I could have never imagined we would live in Austin for 6 months and buy a condo in CT at 30 weeks pregnant and move AGAIN. I would have never imagined I would have launched a social media consulting business 8 months ago, and I’m now working on balancing my career and a 11-week-old. . It’s seriously amazing what can happen over the course of just one year. I can’t wait to see what 32 has in store. 🎈 . . . . . . . . . . #wholefoods #eatclean #getinmybelly #realfood #healthylifestyle #organicfood #foodie #fitfood #eatclean #mindbodygram #iamwellandgood #feedyoursoul #eatgood #healthyrecipes #cleaneats #tastespotting #healthyliving #healthyrecipes #fuelyourbody #newmomlife #nourishingfoods #mindfuleating #nourishyourbody #paleorecipes #healthybodyhealthymind #eatrealfood #glutenfreelife #lifetransformation
Aren’t breakfast foods the best? I literally look forward to eating breakfast before I go to bed at night. Just me? 😉 . Especially this dairy-free raspberry cream cheese French toast. 🤤 . Used gluten-free toast +unsweetened almond milk + @vitalfarms eggs + @sportsresearch collagen peptides {optional} + @primalpalate cinnamon sugar cookie seasoning for the toast . Topped it with @kitehillfoods cream cheese + puréed raspberries, and added some raspberries and bluebs on top for good measure 😍 . Happy Saturday friends! . . . . . . #wholefoods #eatclean #getinmybelly #realfood #healthylifestyle #turmeric #foodie #fitfood #eatclean #mindbodygram #iamwellandgood #feedyoursoul #eatgood #cleaneats #tastespotting #healthyliving #healthyrecipes #fuelyourbody #newmomlife #nourishingfoods #mindfuleating #nourishyourbody #healthybodyhealthymind #eatrealfood #glutenfreelife #frenchtoast #paleorecipes
Dan and I are celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary yesterday. It’s crazy how fast time flies - yet we’ve done A LOT in only 6 years. Changed jobs, positions, and most recently, careers. Went on some awesome vacations, bought a house, sold the house, moved to Austin, moved back to CT, and the craziest thing of all...had a baby 10 weeks old in the midst of alll of this. I honestly couldn’t have found a better person to go on this adventure with. I can’t wait to see what the next 6+ years have in store. 💛 . My parents watched Chase so we could have a date night last night (thanks Mom and Dad), and we spent the night at a rooftop restaurant eating good food, enjoying good drinks, reminiscing about the past and talking about our goals for the future. 💛 ............ I got the pear salad with salmon + Dan got the salmon dinner. Yes, we both got salmon...I figure when you know what you like, why mess with it? 😉 . Happy Sunday! . . . #wholefoods #eatclean #getinmybelly #realfood #healthylifestyle #turmeric #foodie #fitfood #eatclean #mindbodygram #iamwellandgood #feedyoursoul #eatgood #cleaneats #tastespotting #healthyliving #healthyrecipes #fuelyourbody #newmomlife #nourishingfoods #mindfuleating #nourishyourbody #healthybodyhealthymind #eatrealfood #glutenfreelife #frenchtoast #paleorecipes
It’s so hard to find a good protein bar these days....especially now that I’m balancing work, meetings, taking care of a 10-week-old, travel, and life in general. I’m constantly on the go and don’t always have a ton of time to prep food as much as I’d like (shocking, I know), so having a good go-to protein bar in a pinch is huge. . I found @wolosnacks protein bars and I’m definitely hooked. I mean, come on, look at it! On top of the dreamy factor, it has 15 grams of protein, only 5 grams of sugar, it’s gluten-free, soy-free and they even contain turmeric, vitamin C and zinc! 👌🏻 Their variety pack comes in three delicious flavors: PB, cocoa crunch, and my personal favorite, mint chocolate chip. 🍃 Sometimes I even heat it up a bit so it tastes like a protein cookie out of the oven.😍 . You can check them out for yourself at wolosnacks.com. Doo it. 📲 Happy Thursday! 💛 #WanderBar #WoloSnacks . . . . . . #wholefoods #eatclean #getinmybelly #realfood #healthylifestyle #turmeric #foodie #fitfood #eatclean #mindbodygram #iamwellandgood #feedyoursoul #eatgood #cleaneats #tastespotting #healthyliving #healthyrecipes #fuelyourbody #newmomlife #nourishingfoods #mindfuleating #nourishyourbody #healthybodyhealthymind #eatrealfood #glutenfreelife #proteinbar
FLOURLESS chocolate hazelnut brownies coming in hot. 🤤 Only a few simple ingredients and INSANELY good. Seriously - try it. . - 8 oz chocolate hazelnut spread (I used nondairy @rigoniasiagousa) - 3 eggs (I used @vitalfarms) - 1 scoops collagen peptides (optional - I used @vitalproteins) - 1 tbs ground flaxseed - 1 tbs baking powder . Ganache: melted unsweetened chocolate + coconut cream . Baked for about 30 minutes at 325 degrees. . Brownies allllll up in muh face. 😍 Happy Tuesday! . . . . . . . #wholefoods #eatclean #getinmybelly #realfood #healthylifestyle #organicfood #foodie #fitfood #eatclean #mindbodygram #iamwellandgood #feedyoursoul #eatgood #healthyrecipes #cleaneats #tastespotting #healthyliving #healthyrecipes #fuelyourbody #newmomlife #nourishingfoods #mindfuleating #nourishyourbody #paleorecipes #healthybodyhealthymind #eatrealfood #glutenfreelife #brownies
Back from being a little MIA - not on purpose, just because balancing a 9-week-old and work definitely has its challenges! . It’s so easy to sacrifice everything when you start a family. Especially your own health. It’s so easy to get caught up focusing 110% off your life on keeping this little human alive that you often forget to take care of yourself. Especially as a breastfeeding mom, getting the right vitamins and nutrients is so crucial for both you AND the little one. 🤱🏻 . That’s why I love the @patchmd vitamin patches. They offer a ton of patches that all offer different benefits, vitamins, or nutrients — whether it’s a multi-vitamin, hangover support 😉, acne fixer, increased energy - you name it, they have it. 👌🏻 . Most people who live in New England don’t get enough vitamin D, and getting plenty of calcium is so crucial when pregnant or breastfeeding. So needless to say, the vitamin D/calcium combo patch was perfect for me. You just slap it on your body, and you’re good to go. It’s so much easier than having to remember to take a pill everyday. .......... 👉🏻To add to the nutrient intake, I combined that with a super green smoothie: frozen zucchini, cucumber, banana, wheatgrass, vanilla collagen + unsweetened almond milk. 😍 . Hope everyone is having a great weekend! 💛 . . . . . . . #wholefoods #eatclean #getinmybelly #realfood #healthylifestyle #organicfood #droolclub #fitfood #foodie #mindbodygram #iamwellandgood #feedyoursoul #eatgood #healthyrecipes #cleaneats #tastespotting #healthyliving #healthyrecipes #fuelyourbody #newmomlife #nourishingfoods #mindfuleating #nourishyourbody #healthybodyhealthymind #eatrealfood #glutenfreelife #healthandwellness #newmom #vitaminpatch #patchmd
3 ingredient chocolate coconut truffles FTW. . Gluten-free, nut-free, vegan, delicious and the easiest truffles eva. 👌🏻 . - 2 coconut carob @ommiesnacks bars - 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa bar, melted - 1 tsp coconut oil . (Makes the amount of truffles shown here) . Formed the @ommiesnacks bars into small balls. Combined cocoa and coconut oil and heated until melted. Dipped the balls into the melted chocolate and placed on parchment paper. Threw into the fridge to let chocolate harden and then you’re good to go. . Other truffle option: take the @ommiesnacks balls and roll them into unsweetened cocoa powder 😍 . Happy Sunday friends! . . . . . . . . #wholefoods #eatclean #getinmybelly #realfood #healthylifestyle #organicfood #glutenfree #allergenfree #eatclean #mindbodygram #iamwellandgood #feedyoursoul #eatgood #healthyrecipes #cleaneats #tastespotting #healthyliving #healthyrecipes #fuelyourbody #newmomlife #nourishingfoods #mindfuleating #nourishyourbody #paleorecipes #healthybodyhealthymind #eatrealfood #glutenfreelife #truffles
Who doesn’t love a good breakfast pastry? Especially one that is gluten-free, low in sugar, and ridiculously simple to make? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ . These raspberry pastries lasted about 30 seconds in my house...just long enough for me to snap a few photos. 📷 Plus they’re only a few ingredients! Makes the long, sleepless nights a little easier knowing that I have these to wake up to. 😉 . - 1 1/2 cup @bobsredmill paleo flour - 1 single serving container of unsweetened Greek yogurt (I would imagine nondairy yogurt would work also) - 1/4 cup ghee, softened (sub coconut oil) - 2 tbs @primalpalate cinnamon sugar cookie spice - 1 tsp pink salt - 1 tsp baking soda - 1 cup raspberries puréed (or fruit or choice - fresh or frozen) . Combine all ingredients except the raspberries and roll out on flour-lined parchment paper to form squares. Place squares on a baking sheet and add purée in the center of each square, allowing some room around the parameter. Add another square on top and use the end of the fork around the parameter to combine the two squares. Sprinkle the top with more @primalpalate cinnamon sugar cookie spice or cinnamon. Bake for about 10-15 minutes at 325, or until warm and golden brown and devour. 😍 . Happy hump day! 🐫 . . . . . #wholefoods #eatclean #getinmybelly #realfood #healthylifestyle #organicfood #droolclub #fitfood #foodie #mindbodygram #iamwellandgood #feedyoursoul #eatgood #healthyrecipes #cleaneats #tastespotting #healthyliving #healthyrecipes #fuelyourbody #newmomlife #nourishingfoods #mindfuleating #nourishyourbody #paleorecipes #healthybodyhealthymind #eatrealfood #glutenfreelife #pastries #healthydessert
Nothing like continuing my first Mother’s Day celebration with breakfast in bed and some much needed self-care. 🧖🏻‍♀️ . Was surprised with some gluten-free blueberry pancakes + waffles in bed, and then used the @bettersheabutter products to exfoliate and and moisturize my skin and give myself my own mini facial at home. 💆🏻‍♀️ . @bettersheabutter has all organic, nontoxic DIY skincare products that are perfect for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin, and even babies. 👶🏻 I used their sugar scrub, jojoba oil, and shea butter on myself, and gave the little guy a baby massage with the apricot oil. Later on I’m going take a bath with one of their bath bombs. 🛀😍 . Happy Monday 💜 . . . . . #bettersheabutter #skinfoods #nontoxicbeauty #eatclean #getinmybelly #realfood #healthylifestyle #organicskincare #foodie #fitfood #eatclean #mindbodygram #iamwellandgood #feedyoursoul #eatgood #healthyrecipes #cleaneats #tastespotting #healthyliving #healthyrecipes #fuelyourbody #newmomlife #nourishingfoods #mindfuleating #nourishyourbody #healthybodyhealthymind #eatrealfood #glutenfreelife
Last year if you were to tell me that I’d be celebrating Mother’s Day this year as a mother to a 6-week-old...I probably would have never believed you. Crazy how life works out the way it does. . Throughout this short journey of motherhood, I’ve already gained such an appreciation for all mothers (and fathers) out there. Raising children is amazing, but it isn’t easy, and I’ve found that it’s hard to truly comprehend that until you go through it yourself. . I celebrated my first Mother’s Day by going to brunch with my entire family, including my incredible mom and grandmother, and now I’m relaxing at home with Dan and our sweet little guy. 👪 It’s still so hard to believe that I’m his mom. 💜 He even gave me the best gift of all - consistent 3 hour stretches of sleep last night, yasssss! 😉 . Happy Mothers Day to all of the amazing mamas and future mamas out there. You all inspire me each and everyday. Hope everyone is enjoying their day. 💜 . PS - try to ignore the messy, pillow-filled couch in the background. Did I mention I have a 6-week-old? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ #reallife . . . . . #mothersday #eatclean #getinmybelly #realfood #healthylifestyle #organicfood #foodie #fitfood #eatclean #mindbodygram #iamwellandgood #feedyoursoul #eatgood #healthyrecipes #cleaneats #tastespotting #healthyliving #healthyrecipes #fuelyourbody #newmomlife #nourishingfoods #mindfuleating #nourishyourbody #paleorecipes #healthybodyhealthymind #eatrealfood #glutenfreelife
Well, I survived my first 6 weeks with a newborn! Had my postpartum check-up today and I’ve recovered really well and got to clear to start working out again. Yesssss. 💪🏼 . I don’t think I would have survived the past 6 weeks or so if it wasn’t for the support of family and friends, and the ability to have healthy meals delivered directly to my house. 🤤 . @panerabread now offers delivery, so you bet your bottom I’ve been fully taking advantage. You can order directly through the app and what I LOVE about it is that you can completely customize your order based on your dietary preferences, or whatever you’re feeling that day! You can either have the food delivered ASAP, or at a future day or time that works best for you. 🙌🏻 . I ordered a strawberry poppyseed salad with chicken, blueberries, mandarin oranges, kale, argula, spinach, pecans and of course...’CADO. 🥑 I choose the fruit cup as my side. 🍓 . SO convenient for anyone with a crazy schedule (...especially new parents 😉). Visit panerabread.com/deliveryinfo to find out if you’re in a delivery area or for more info! What would you get delivered? 🤔 . #PaneraDelivers #Sponsored . . . . . #eatclean #getinmybelly #realfood #healthylifestyle #organicfood #foodie #fitfood #eatclean #mindbodygram #iamwellandgood #feedyoursoul #eatgood #healthyrecipes #cleaneats #tastespotting #healthyliving #healthyrecipes #fuelyourbody #newmomlife #nourishingfoods #mindfuleating #nourishyourbody #healthybodyhealthymind #eatrealfood #glutenfreelife #fooddelivery #glutenfree
