No-Cook Swiss Oatmeal

Planning breakfasts that feed a crowd and are easy to grab and go is what I plan for because I never know when a random sleepovers will happen, or I’ll be rushed and short on time. Here are some of my favorite breakfast planning tips:

Don’t be afraid of repeating - I like to plan two recipes for breakfast and alternate them throughout the week. Simple!

Remember carbs + protein in the morning to keep you fueled all day.

Make it delicious, not depriving. You want to wake up looking forward to your meals!

Here is a breakfast I have on repeat often, especially in the mountains . Is it just me or does oatmeal & mountains go hand in hand?

What breakfast looks like for my 13 yr old

A few days ago I posted Tyler's brekky in my stories because I get tons of questions about what I feed my kids for breakfast. Matthew is 9 yrs old and my carb kid...he could live on bread, pasta, cereal, oats (this is a new addition) and tortillas forever and life would be good (do we fault him???), so it's a struggle to sneak protein in. I will always opt for high protein options for this reason.

He picked out these “Egg’Wich” bun-less sandwiches at Costco and when I saw they had 17 grams protein, I BOUGHT TWO! However, when it came time to eating them, he realized it’s not a McDonald's Egg McMuffin (with bread on both sides) and can't be bothered to eat it. But, those that know me know we don’t waste food and I don’t make different meals for each family member, my motto is “Eat it or Starve”. Might sound harsh, but my pediatrician taught me this early on in motherhood and Bless Her. I’m so thankful she did.

Tyler (my 13 yr old) loves these and will happily eat the entire box if I let him. I would choose these for my pwn breakfast except "spices" as an ingredient is too vague and could have garlic and onion, which I’m allergic to.

Here's what I look at... NOT THE PICTURE (although that sold Matthew ). Flip it around and see that the first ingredient is EGG and second is Sausage. YAY for both of those being "whole ingredients" and not Sugar or Starches.

Then, the macros. If you're following portion fix containers (if you aren't message me and I can get you started, it makes things super simple and it's how I coach ALL my nutrition clients - macro eating) these are 1R, 1B. 17g protein, 3g carbs, 12g fat, only 1g sugar (and it's not "added sugar" - WIN) and 190 calories. Still low enough calorie to put this on top of Dave's Killer "thins" which gives you another 80 cal, 4g protein, 3g fiber, 3g sugar and only 2g fat. This is a solid breakfast choice and can be ready in 3 min flat from freezer to plate! No one is too busy for that and you're only adding 1Y to the combination!

Life Shake is always a great option and both my boys drink it, but make sure you add additional food to it so you get more calories. Generally you want to eat at least two, or more, containers together for a meal. So adding ½ a banana (I add a full for my 13 yr old and my husband), frozen zucchini, frozen cauliflower, PB2, etc will make it more calorie dense to hold you over. With 20 grams protein, you don’t need to focus on more of that.

Make sure your brekky is enough calories to sustain you until lunch with at least 300 calories.

Autumn Date Night Ideas

Autumn is here (per the calendar, sure doesn't feel that way).  With all the time we've spent at home lately, getting out and having some (safe) fun can be rejuvenating.  Grab your partner, friends, kids, or even pets, and pick an idea from the list I shared.  Let me know what was the most fun and tag me on Insta @eat.sweat.pray! 

We've started doing “day dates” so it isn't just movies and dinner all the time, so corn maze, apple picking, and carving pumpkins look fun to me.  Normally I'd chose baking, but with all the sugar this season, I'm not brave enough to test my willpower!!

Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are one of my favorite breakfasts for fall - and this recipe has all the best autumn flavors! Plus, it’s high in protein and fiber, so you stay full all morning! Bonus: it tastes like dessert, I’m here for that!

Chocolate Recover Shake

After you’ve done your actual cooldown, what is your post-workout routine?

For me, I like to make my Recover shake (cools me down, literally) while checking in here! Recover speeds muscle recovery, combats exercise-induced muscle soreness, reduces muscle breakdown, and improves your muscle strength recovery. The fact that it tastes like a Frosty is an added bonus 🤣 If you’re in a rush, you can just “shake” it up in your blender bottle that you got free with your order, but if you have 60 seconds, blending it is OH-SO-GOOOOOOD!!

Here’s my current go-to recipe to cool down post-workout!

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or soy milk)

• 1 scoop Chocolate Recover (I use vegan formula so it’s dairy free)

• ½ large banana (for men, use 1 full banana post-workout)

• 1 cup frozen cauliflower

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Combine almond milk, Recover, banana, cauliflower, and cinnamon in a blender; cover and blend until smooth. That’s so stinking easy, amiright??

Yield: 1 serving.

Portion Fix Containers: 1 Green, 1 Purple, 1 tsp (does not count as a Red if you drink it within 30 m minutes of exercise. any other time it is 1 Red)

2B Mindset: For more information on how to incorporate Beachbody Performance into 2B Mindset, see the “2B Mindset and Exercise” video in the 2B Mindset Program Materials section on BOD - incorporating Recover will vary based on the intensity of the program you’re doing!

Turmeric Latte

The weather continues to get cooler (depending where you are!) and I’m loving this warm Turmeric Latte on cool mornings 😍 This recipe makes 2 servings, so whip one up for you and a loved one!

Ingredients

• 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk

• ½ tsp pure vanilla extract

• 4 tsp honey

• 1 tsp ground turmeric

• ¼ tsp ground cinnamon

• Pinch of ground nutmeg

• Pinch of cardamom

• Extra ground cinnamon to sprinkle on top!

Instructions

1. In a small pot, add almond milk, vanilla, honey, ground turmeric, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom over medium-high heat.

2. Whisk together and bring ingredients to a boil; then, reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes to reduce the mixture, stirring occasionally.

3. Pour into 2 small mugs, then sprinkle with ground cinnamon.

Cocoa Nut Butter Protein Balls

These are sooo easy and can be modified however you want if there are allergies!

Ingredients:
- 5 cup QUICK oats (old fashioned requires more sweetener IMO)

- 1 cup any Creamy nut 🥜 butter (just make sure it’s clean and there’s no added sugar or oil)

Yogurt, Shakeology powder, loose granola on top! 1.5R, 2Y, 2 tsp

- ¾ cup sweetener of choice (I combined local Honey🍯 and Pure Maple Syrup)

- ½ cup cocoa

- 2 scoops / packets Shakeology (any flavor and either whey or vegan will do)

** if for a kids’ class, you could switch 1 cup of Oats with 1 cup Rice Krispies for a crunch

**other modifications can be diced cranberries, nuts, coconut or chocolate chips. These will require more sweetener to make it sticky enough to hold, so instead swap out ½ cup Oats for these modifications.

Directions:
1. Mix together with a mixer or you’ll get an arm workout too. It doesn’t matter which order you add ingredients, I mix once all are in the bowl.
2. Roll into balls (24-30), or put in a 13x9 pan and make bars (yields ~20-22 bars depending on thickness).

Serve with plain greek yogurt for breakfast (see above) with 2 - 3 balls (these are sweet enough so you don’t need a sweetened yogurt like Vanilla, and then you forgo the additives that aren’t great for you anyways). You can also put additional Shakeology in your yogurt and stir together before topping with loose granola, or crumble a few balls.

For lunch these can be a healthy carb (2-3 balls), or for snack (kids 4-5 balls, adults 2). These are heavier than my 21-Day Fix Granola Balls so I limit these to heavy fitness days like training, or days I work out for longer than 40 minutes.

Let me know how you like them! I find them very kid friendly!

Repurpose leftovers & make them "fresh" again!

This is hands down one of my favorite meals, soooo freaking delicious and scary how simple it was. I like to buy the cauliflower / broccoli rice already made at the store because it’s the same, or less, cost and saves me that much more time.

We are fortunate to live very close to The Fish Factory so fresh sashimi is right at our finger tips. I chose Tuna and Salmon, but they also have Kingfish and Copia (white fish, similar to Kingfish but more fatty) sashimi.

Add any veggies you like, I chose red peppers (highest source of calcium), cucumbers (for crunch), and yellow cherry tomatoes. This is amazing with 1 tbsp Ponzo sauce on top and a dash of lemon or lime, to taste. This pleased everyone!

Tofu Tacos - you might be surprised!

Tofu tacos, I know you think I’ve lost my mind?! But, stick with me here because they’re pretty delicious! Tofu is super versatile and can stand in for meat in pretty much any dish. In these tacos, the tofu soaks up all the amazing spices and, once it’s cooked, you can’t even tell it’s not meat! If you don’t believe me, try it and decide for yourself!

Ingredients
* 2 tbsp nonfat plain yogurt
* 3 tbsp fresh lime juice, divided use 2 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped, divided use
* 1 medium tomato, chopped
* 1 medium onion, chopped, divided use
* 1 medium jalapeño, seeds removed, chopped (opt)
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 1 cup assorted vegetables (like sliced mushrooms, spinach, carrot slaw)
* 1 (14-oz) package firm tofu, crumbled
* 3 cloves garlic, crushed
* 1 tsp chili powder (or chipotle seasoning, habanero seasoning, or cumin)
* 4 (6-inch) whole-wheat tortillas, warm
* 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce

Instructions
1) Combine yogurt, 2 tbsp lime juice, and 1 tbsp cilantro in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
2) Combine tomato, ¼ onion, jalapeno (if desired), and remaining 1 tbsp cilantro in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
3) Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining ¾ onion; cook, stirring frequently, until translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
4) Add vegetables and cook, stirring frequently, until crisp (about 4-5 minutes).
5) Add tofu, garlic, and chili powder. Cook, stirring frequently, until tofu is lightly browned and veggies are tender crisp (about 3-4 minutes).
6) Add remaining 1 tbsp lime juice and reduce heat to medium low - bring to a gentle boil. Remove from heat.
7) Top tortillas evenly with lettuce and tofu mixture. Drizzle with yogurt sauce and serve with tomato salsa.
Yields: 4 servings

The best Olive Oil Dispenser ever!

I’ve been asked more times about this gadget than anything else. Normally the rule in our house is any “kitchen gadget” has to have at least two functions fo runs to buy it. So a waffle maker that has switchable plates so I can make quesadillas too? that’s a winner and a worthy purchase. This however, is the exception to my husbands rule because it’s only for olive oil, but we use it daily, multiple times a day in fact.

Two main reasons I bought this… 1) my husband doesn’t measure. He just eye-balls everything and it stresses me out. Like, big time! So, now he knows and I can see too ;) Not only is that money wasted on olive didn’t need, but brings me to reason 2) olive oil is a great healthy fat, but you don’t get unlimited amounts and a little goes a long way. Quite often I find 1-1.5 tsp is plenty for what i’m cooking, but prior to this, I think the Rachel Ray swirling action over the skillet was more like, 1 TBSP or more. That’s unwanted calories I don’t need!

Best. Purchase. Ever!! Go to Amazon and get one, you will not be disappointed. i didn’t share a link here because I’ve noticed vendor run out of stock often and then the link will be a dud. Happy shopping and you’re going to love it!!

Get excited about water all over again!

✨Blackberry Mojito Water✨

While you're out celebrating Labor Day, make sure to drink 1/2 of your body weight in oz of water (if you weigh 180 lbs, you should drink 90 oz / 3 liters). If that's challenging, try infused water, here are some ideas to get you on the right track. Adding fruits, veggies, and herbs to water is a natural way to add flavor, remove boredom and not use any containers in the process; they’re all FREEBIES! Just the name if this has me drooling :)

Ingredients
* 1 cup ice
* ½ cup fresh blackberries
* 3 slices of lime 4 fresh mint leaves
* 1¼ cups cold water

Instructions
1) Place ice in a tall glass and set aside.
2) Combine blackberries, lime, and mint in a large cocktail shaker. Mash well with the back of a wooden spoon or muddler.
3) Add water; cover and shake. Strain into ice-filled glass.

7 ingredients to Yumminess!

This is one of the easiest, tastiest muffins and it’s so dense, you will be full! I love this as a side to breakfast with Ultimate Portion Fix or 2B Mindset!! it’s also a great snack during the day!

Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas, the riper, the sweeter
2 extra-large eggs (large will do, but I like the extra protein)
2 c old-fashioned oats
1 c plain greek yogurt (look at protein and sugar on the side, you want high protein, low sugar)
½ c maple syrup or honey (if you use vanilla yogurt, or extra ripe bananas then cut this to ⅓ c)
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ c chai seeds (you do not need to soak these, just dump them in)
** top with nuts, seeds, oats, chocolate chips, or nothing, they’re pretty as is. I chose chocolate chips as my topping, but once I made these, the batter was plenty sweet so I never added them. If you know me, you’re probably questioning my mental health or thinking someone took over my blog. It’s true, I passed on chocolate. Don’t expect me to do it again :)
** I wish I added Vanilla Whey Shakeology, I will in the next batch. It’ll help sweeten it if you’re cutting the sugar (which I always encourage)

Directions:
1) In no particular order, dump everything in the blender! Don’t you love that, easy as can be! Get your kids involved, this is that simple.

The order doesn’t matter, i did bananas, eggs, oats, yogurt, seeds

How beautiful if this? I hate waiting for chai seeds to soak. Glad that’s not involved!

2) Blend 2 minutes or until it looks very well mixed. If you have some on the edges that didn’t get mixed in, you can stir it and blend again, or grab a spoon and eat it. I opted for the second options. YUM!

3) Pour in 12 lined muffin cups, or straight into silicone muffin holders. Anyone ever used these? Thoughts? I’m nervous to try, I don’t have a lot of faith in the sides not to go limp and spill batter.

I could have easily eaten this whole thing and never cooked them. No one would know expect you and I!

But, I poured 12 muffins and opted to pass on chocolate chips since it was plenty sweet. This is why it’s important to taste your batter :)

If your blender looks like this, you know it was DAMN DELICIOUS!!!

My kitchen smells good and before I had a chance to portion out breakfast for tomorrow and freeze the rest, my kids ate 4. Gone in 5 minutes flat. Glad this was simple since I’ll likely be making more in 2 days!

4) Cook at 175 celsius for 20 minutes. Stay near by so you can keep an eye on them and enjoy all the smells!
**Bananas can be replaced with sweet potatoes or pumpkin. Both would be delicious year-around, but especially in the fall.

How to make Spring Rolls

I love spring rolls and I make them every week, if not twice! They are a super fast lunch and then I can use the leftover protein, typically sashimi, for dinner as a poki bowl, hand rolls, or make sushi with it. I love simple recipes that taste delicious and this fits the bill, plus it’s super healthy! Watch and learn and use whatever vegetables you have on hand + your favorite protein. These rice papers can be purchased at any asian market or some large grocery stores carry them too.

What did you put in yours?
