Sitting back & having a glass of wine or a cocktail may feel relaxing at the time, but it actually increases cortisol (our main stress hormone) which does not help us to de-stress! Since I struggle with high cortisol, I’ve been busy coming up with mocktails I truly enjoy to help reduce my alcohol intake & my cortisol. Join me this weekend in sipping on this tasty & refreshing Citrus Strawberry Vanilla Mocktail!

Feeling overwhelmed & stressed by your schedule? No time for meal prep? This Maca Strawberry Chia Pudding is for you! This is a grab & go meal with ingredients that help us to adapt to the stress in our life.

This dressing is sweet but tangy, tasty & simple to make! And it’s even better when strawberries are in season! And did you know that strawberries contain more vitamin C than oranges? Vitamin C is a gut health superstar because it helps us to absorb iron and it is needed to make collagen which keeps our connective tissues (including our gut lining) strong & healthy.

What is the secret to making the best margarita? Use fresh citrus. This margarita checks all the boxes for me: It’s delicious. It’s VERY low in sugar. It takes less than 3 minutes to make & requires no fancy ingredients. It’s refreshing on a hot summer day & makes me feel like I’m on a vacation in the winter.

Summer events are filled with temptations that can hinder our fat loss and health goals. Especially when they’re back-to-back. Go prepared and bring a tasty and high-protein snack like my Strawberry Shortcake Protein Balls! These will become everyone’s new favourite snack, especially this time of year when strawberries are sweet and juicy! And they are so easy to make. 

This LIME ROCKET is fresh, unexpectedly delicious & takes less than 3 minutes to make! And the best part? It doesn’t contain alcohol! There are a number of reasons to reduce our alcohol intake including fat loss, hormonal balance & gut health and having a great mocktail can make all the difference.

Craving ice cream? This really does resemble ice cream, is only 4 ingredients, super low in calories, rich in protein, takes 2 min to make & no ice cream machine is required!

This dish is fresh, tasty but light, great for our guts & perfect for anyone with fat loss goals! Asparagus is rich in inulin, which is a prebiotic fiber that feeds our good gut bugs. And in turn, this bacteria helps to balance our mood, strengthen our immune system, and keep our digestion running smoothly. And it’s very low in calories, but because asparagus is high in fiber, it helps us to feel full. In addition to that, this dish is flavourful & takes around 10 min to prep. And feeling satiated, enjoying our food and meal prep that fits in our schedule are all important aspects of sustainable fat loss.

No time for meal prep? This protein-rich Spiced Vanilla Chia Pudding takes 2 min to prep, is the perfect grab & go breakfast or snack & is super satisfying! Did you know that there is a whopping 8g of fiber in 2 tbsp of chia seeds? And chia seeds are low in FODMAPs making them better tolerated than some other sources of fiber.

I have a confession to make. I am very lazy in the kitchen. And I also love a good deviled egg. But the part where we have to reassemble the egg is too daunting for me. Adapted from Nom Nom Paleo’s life-changing Lazy Devils recipe, these Deconstructed Devils will be a hit at your parties this summer! And they will take you sooo much less time & tears to make than the traditional ones! Bonus: this party snack won’t set you back on your health goals. It’s rich in healthy fat, protein & topped with detoxifying & gut health superstars like broccoli sprouts & kimchi.

This CUCUMBER LIME AGUA FRESCA is so refreshing, tasty & easy to make it will be your favourite drink this summer!

These really are the BEST Turkey Burgers. Lean ground turkey is high in protein but low in calories. This makes it a great addition to your diet if you want to put on muscle, reduce cravings or have fat loss goals! The best part about this recipe? It only takes 5 min to prep!

Delicata squash has that satisfying taste & texture you get with starchier foods but it’s low in carbs & is generally well-tolerated by more sensitive guts. Bonus: this squash is super adaptable – you can make it sweeter with cinnamon or savoury and serve it with pasta sauce or toss it in salads.

Roasted radish is a delicious & easy way to show your gut & liver some love! And if you are in a fat loss phase or doing a low-carb diet this is a side dish you’ll want to add into your rotation! You can roast red radish, but my favourite varieties are daikon, watermelon & black radish.

YES, these Mocha Latte Balls are THAT good. It’s just a bonus that they’re high in protein, low in calories & super easy to make! These are perfect as a healthy dessert when you want a sweet treat, an appetizer for any gathering, a quick protein-rich snack & a way to impress everyone you know!

Avocado & Chicken Sweet Potato toast is the answer to an egg-free breakfast you’ll crave! Eggs are a delicious superfood, but also a common food sensitivity. Having a protein-rich breakfast is key to setting us up with adequate energy & a balanced mood that will help us thrive throughout the day but it can be tough to find an alternative to eggs.
