Cinnamon Coffee Cake

I think about “daily deposits” during my day and thought I’d share this with you in case it helps you think of how to improve each day by 1% more.

When you make a decision that you don’t have time for breakfast, your commute is more important than your nutrition, that other mornings are more valued than your own, in your workouts are in the way … you put mini deposits in the bucket of your mindset saying YOU AREN’T ENOUGH, OR UNWORTHY. That you don’t deserve enough.

But the truth is, YOU DESERVE IT ALL, AND MORE.

This cinnamon coffee cake recipe is the perfect sweet treat to kickstart your day. Add this one to your meal plan!

3 cups reduced-fat cottage cheese

8 large egg whites (1 cup - I buy liquid egg whites to save $)

2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

1 tsp. liquid stevia, opt

1 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder

FOR TOPPING:

¼ cup dry rolled oats

3 Tbsp. chopped unsalted pecans

2 Tbsp. brown sugar (or coconut sugar)

4. Add cottage cheese, egg whites, extract, and stevia (opt) to a blender; cover. Blend until smooth.

5. Pour cheese mixture into flour mixture; mix until a thick batter forms.

6. Pour half of the mixture into the prepared baking dish; use a spatula to spread evenly into corners. Add cocoa powder and remaining 1 tsp. cinnamon to a sifter (or wire mesh strainer) held over the baking dish; sift to evenly coat. Spoon remaining batter over top, using a spatula to spread evenly into corners.

7. To make topping: add oats, pecans, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon to a small mixing bowl; stir to combine. Sprinkle evenly over batter.

8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into 6 equal pieces.

🎃 Salted Caramel Apple Pie Overnight Oats 🎃

This overnight recipe will win ALL your house guests over this week and it smells 100% like fall, so it’s perfect for Thanksgiving. What I love most about jarred oats is everyone can modify the ingredients so it’s something they love, and look forward to in the morning.

Ingredients:

½ cup old-fashioned oats

½ cup milk of your choice

1 apple diced

2 scoops of Salted Caramel LifeShake

½ tsp ground cinnamon

Directions:

Chop apple & add cinnamon then microwave for 45 seconds.

In a mason jar, combine oats, milk, apples LifeShake.

Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Cover the jar with a lid & refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.

In the morning, give the oats a good stir then warm in microwave for 60 seconds! Add your favorite toppings, such as chopped walnuts, cranberries, or a spoonful of Greek yogurt & maple syrup. I ADDED ALL OF IT!

Let the mason jar sit on the counter to get to room temperature before microwaving it.

Snack Bars save me every day!

Life is full and it is BUSY!! if you don’t feel this way, I’m sort of jealous and also feel like you might be missing out! I find between juggling work, workouts, sports, school pickup or family commitments, it's easy to reach for something quick but unhealthy or just carb loaded, but Shaklee Snack Bars are my go-to solution for a nutritious protein boost without ruining my next meal!

Things to look for in bar; many are “fat bars” or “energy bars,” certainly not “protein bars”

  1. High-Quality Protein: Each Shaklee Snack Bar is packed with premium protein to help stay energized, muscle recovery, stay fuller longer, and support overall health.

  2. Nutrient-Rich Ingredients: These bars are made with wholesome ingredients that not only provide protein, but also deliver essential vitamins and minerals. No artificial additives either. I call them “nasties”

  3. Delicious Flavors: Shaklee Snack Bars come in 4 flavors: cherry almond, toffee crunch (my son’s favorite), peanut butter crisp (my favorite and good with a few chocolate chips too), chocolate & coconut.

  4. Convenient Packaging: Designed for busy lifestyles, they’re individually wrapped so toss in your purse, car, gym backpack, briefcase or lunchbox. You can enjoy a healthy snack at work, after a workout, or while running errands, but if you’r not prepared, all the sudden Crumble Cookies looks really darn healthy! lol

  5. Balanced Nutrition: These bars provide a perfect balance of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, making them an excellent option for pre- or post-workout fuel. They help replenish your energy levels and support muscle recovery after exercise.

    Which flavor will you choose? 10 per box so grab two!
