Happy Sunday!

I don’t want to use the word busy, so let’s just say this past week has been productive. I don’t need to bore you with what I did but I definitely didn’t have time to make myself a proper meal if that gives you any clue. I think all I ate last week was corn nuts and chips. But please keep that between us.

Anyway, the craziness of this last week reminded me that I need to prepare or I’m the girl who will turn to pizza and chips when I’m stressed.

And if you’re by chance like me I wanted to share these 3 Snack Ideas for on-the-go! Still delicious but without the guilt and bloat. I work from home a lot, and I still 100% consider that on-the-go. I don’t want to stop mid-thought just to cook?! I can’t be bothered, so I love to have snacks on hand. Here are some you can try at home.

SWEET TREAT

Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

makes 24

ingredients: 

• 8 1/2 oz. or (1 cup) dark chocolate chips or chocolate bar
• 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
• 8 1/2 oz 100% natural peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter. Whatever your favorite is!

directions: 

• Line muffin tins with liners
• In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate and warm in the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir. Continue in 30-second increments until melted and smooth, stirring in between every 30 seconds.
• Add 2 tbsp coconut oil and stir until well combined.
• Spoon 1 tsp. of the chocolate mixture into each paper liner. Use the spoon to push the chocolate up the sides of each liner slightly. This will help to hold the filling in.
• Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
• Meanwhile, place the remaining coconut oil and nut butter in a small bowl and mix until well combined.
• Remove the tin from the freezer and spoon about 2 tsp. of the nut butter mixture into each of the paper liners. Place back into the freezer to set for 5 minutes.
• If the remaining chocolate mixture has begun to set, microwave for 15 seconds and stir until smooth.
• Remove the tin from the freezer and spoon the remaining chocolate mixture evenly over the nut butter. Ensure that there is no nut butter showing.
• Place in the freezer for 30 minutes or until the cups have set. Peel off the paper liners and serve.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. YUM!

 SAVORY

Avocado Chips 

One of the recipes in my Bye-Bye, Bloat E-Book!

ingredients:

I hope you try out these yummy snacks!!

This week I also launched my first E-Book: Bye-Bye, Bloat.

I have put together the ultimate 7-Day Guide to lose the bloat and feel your best! This e-book hits so close to home for me and that’s why I can’t wait to share it with you.

I’ve been there…

I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food. Depriving myself during the day and binging every night and weekend. I genuinely never thought I would be able to change my mindset and way of living. I was SO unhappy with my body, I was constantly bloated, always tired, thought so badly of myself and yet I did nothing about it.

I made this book because it’s something I wish I had when I was experiencing all of that pain and discomfort both mentally and physically. All I needed was to learn more about my body and most importantly a guide on how to be better with my food and really understand why I was feeling this way. I tried learning through many failed attempts and hacks. Many meal plans, and diets.

Oh, and detox teas? Yeah, I’ve been there done that. What I ate consumed my every thought.

Bye-Bye, Bloat is so, so, SO much more than an e-book with information. It’s about my lifestyle change and what I did to really balance my life. If you knew me 5 years ago and you still know me now, you would know I’m a very different person in the way I act and live and it’s because of the freedom and confidence I feel now that I know what works for ME. Not because anyone told me how to eat, but it’s what I know to be true for my body.

I want the same for you! I want you to do the exercises in this e-book, the very ones that changed my life. The ones that made me think a little bit, and dig a little deeper. The ones that are a little uncomfortable because I know it will make me see things so clearly. And I’m so excited for you!

Thank you for trusting me. Let’s dive on it.
