11. June 11 - Friday.jpg

✨ If you’ve never bought passionfruit before, look for fruits that have smooth, purple, yellow, or orange skin that is free from blemishes or bruises. 

✨ Heavier pieces will have more seeds + juice.

✨ Cut the fruit with a sharp knife and scoop out the seeds + pulp like you would a kiwi.

✨ Can’t find passion fruit? You can use canned passion fruit nectar or swap pineapple into this recipe instead.


Ingredients

- 1 cup water

- 1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology 

- 3 passion fruit with peels + seeds discarded (or ¼ cup frozen passion fruit pulp)

Grilled Fruit Barbecue

Grilled fruit screams summer and so I have to share this recipe that is going to elevate your backyard bbq experience this year!

25. June 25 - Friday.jpg

If you’re thinking, “Uh, that’s weird,” just trust me - grilling caramelizes the sugars in the fruit, which creates a lovely light crust with a sweet + smoky flavor.

Not a fan of peaches or cherries? Try this out with pretty much any fruit - pineapple, pears, bananas, figs… great creative!

Ingredients

- 2 tsp organic grass-fed butter, melted

- 2 tsp raw honey

- ½ tsp ground cinnamon

- 32 fresh cherries, cut in half, pitted

- 2 ripe medium peaches, cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions

1. Combine butter, honey, and cinnamon in a small bowl; mix well and set aside.

2. Preheat your grill or broiler to high.

3. Place 16 cherry halves on each of four medium skewers and set aside.

4. Evenly place peaches on four medium skewers.

5. Brush skewers evenly with half of the butter mixture. Grill for 3-4 minutes, turning every minute, until just charred by still firm. Remove from heat.

6. Brush with remaining butter mixture and serve immediately.

This recipe makes 4 servings (2 skewers each).

Summer Road Trip Food ideas...

Planning a quick weekend road trip, or venturing back into the world of travel?? Wherever this summer takes you, make sure that your snack game is strong so your nutrition and health can still have priority! Road, air or sea - travel always has unexpected surprises and delays!

Here’s a list of healthy, portable snack options to hold you over until your next meal. My top 5 are:

1) Hard-Boiled Eggs
With 77 calories and 6 grams of protein per egg, hard-boiled eggs are an easy travel snack you can eat with your bare hands in a pinch. Try sprinkling an umami seasoning, everything bagel salt or another flavored topping for some extra pizazz (at home), or save salt and pepper packets form gas stations or takeaway orders.

2) Jerky
Beef jerky provides protein along with micronutrients. To reduce the sodium try turkey, chicken, or plant-based options! There are so many varieties to try; this is an easy to eat, easy to pack must have and plenty of flavor! We always have this in our backpack when we hike!

3) Protein Bars
Protein bars are a quintessential travel snack, but the sugar and artificial flavoring can really kill your clean eating plans. Look for bars that have 6g of sugar or less and an ingredients list that you can actually read! (If you can’t pronounce it, you probably shouldn’t be eating it) #truth Granola and Protein Bars can be sneaky and have the nutrients of a Snickers candy bar so for sure READ THE LABEL. I love Beachbody’s Beachbars and there are 3 delicious options: Chocolate Cherry Almond, Chocolate Peanut Butter (both whey) or Chocolate Almond Crunch (vegan and tastes like a s’mores).

4) Nuts
Nuts are a nutrient-dense snack, so pack some before you go! Pistachios are a great option because they can be considered a complete protein, meaning they contain all nine essential amino acids in one little snack! If you like flavored nuts, skip the store-bought version and try making your own, you’ll thank yourself! You’ll be able to control the sodium levels and notice that a sprinkling of seasoning goes a long way. WATCH YOUR PORTIONS. Reasonable portion sizes are: 20 pistachios, 12 almonds, 8 cashews or walnuts, 10 pecans or 14 peanuts. Shocking how little right? I bet we are all thinking “woah, I had a week’s worth in one sitting”. That’s why portion sizes matter. We might not be getting results because we don’t know any better :) I’m here to help!

5) Cheese Sticks
Snack cheeses like string cheese and Babybel provide protein and calcium for under 100 calories per serving. These are great to pair with a piece of fruit to offset the sugar content. They are best, however, for short trips - like most perishable foods, you’ll want to eat cheese within two hours of taking it out of the fridge. Don’t overdue it or have this every single day because cheese can also stop you up in the toilet area :) That’s no fun on road trips.

Best advice when you travel and something I ALWAYS do - add veggies to EVERY SINGLE MEAL; even brekky! I find vegetables super hard to find when I’m traveling and I never get enough fiber (women want 25 grams a day and men, 35 grams) so if I eat then when they’re available, I don’t pay the price later when options are sparse.

Carmelized Roasted Veggies

8. April 8 - Thursday.jpg

There are a bajillion veggie recipes out there, with countless ways to prepare them… but oven-roasting has got to be one of the best 🤤 You’ve got that caramelized flavor, with that toasted outside… definitely a winner! Add this to any BBQ and WOW… just W O W!!!

Plus, just chop up whatever veg you have, throw it on a baking sheet, and roast it all together! This makes a perfect dinner side, an amazing salad topping, a delicious addition to a lunchtime wrap; basically, roasted vegetables are a perfect meal-prep food! Here are a few tips before I share my go-to recipe.

🥕 Cut your veggies into roughly the same-sized pieces. Things that cook faster (like onion) can be a little larger, while things that take longer to get nice and toasty can be smaller (like sweet potatoes).

🥕 You’ll want to use a little bit of oil to really get the best caramelization. Plus, this helps keep the vegetables from sticking to your pan + makes clean up a breeze!

🥕 Make sure to spread out your veggies - this works best with a large baking sheet. If they’re all stacked on top of each other, they steam instead of roast and you miss out on that incredible roasted flavor.

Ingredients

- 8 oz carrots, cut in half lengthwise + then cut into 2-inch pieces

- 8 oz beets, cut into 1¼-inch pieces

- 1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1¼-inch pieces

- 1 medium fennel bulb, stalks trimmed, bulb cut in half lengthwise, then cut into 1¼- inch slices

- 1 medium onion, cut in half, cut into thin wedges

- 4 tsp olive oil

- ½ tsp sea salt

- ½ tsp ground black pepper

- 2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450° F.

2. Place carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, fennel, and onion on a large oven-proof roasting pan or baking sheet.

3. Drizzle with oil. Season with salt + pepper and mix well. Spread the vegetables in a single layer.

4. Bake, turning twice, for 40-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are brown + tender-crisp.

5. Sprinkle vegetables with parsley and toss gently to blend.

This recipe makes 4 servings (about ½ cup each).
