by

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a great day so far. My last post of this blog got deleted… so here it is again… enjoy 🙂

Healthy treats can be very difficult to find… especially in the todays society where something can be labeled “healthy” or “natural” when really it isnt at all. So first thing is first please keep in mind that treats are suppose to be something that is a rarity or a once of week kinda thing… not an everyday thing especially if you are trying to lose weight or get lean. I hope you enjoy these EASY, healthy, delicious recipes and foods that I have found to be the most healthy and delicious when it comes to treats! These are my go-to sweets! You can get the items off of amazon by clicking on the sub titles. 🙂

Comment below if you have any healthy treat suggestions!

Smart sweet gummies

If you are a gummy person you are going to LOVE these. 3 grams of sugar, 80 calories per bag!!! Its every girls dream come true and they taste so delicious. I normally get these at local grocery store but due to high depend its hard to get them so I just ordered a big package off of amazon! My favorite is the peach rings... they are to die for! 🙂

Healthy Coffee Recipes

by

 

Are you looking for a healthy coffee recipe? Well you’ve come to the right place. Honestly who doesn’t love coffee?! Coffee has sooo many health benefits. But before I share my recipe understand this: you do not need 3 cups of coffee a day. You really only need 1 cup of coffee a day. If you have more than 2 cups that is when Coffee can become not so good for you, so just keep that in mind. 

Coffee health benefits:

  • It Increases your fiber intake
  • Protects against cirrhosis of the liver
  • Lowered risk of Type 2 Diabetes. 
  • Lowered risk of Alzheimer’s disease
  • Reduces suicide risk and Depression
  • Protection against Parkinson’s
  • Coffee drinkers have less risk of heart disease.

Healthy advice:

One thing you MUST to know is buy your coffee organic! They spray as much pesticides and chemicals on coffee as they do with veggies and fruits. My personal favorite coffee is from patriot coffee or whole foods.

Also… coffee can be a LOT of calories and sugar if you arent too careful. So if you are trying to lose weight or burn fat this is a great healthy coffee recipe for you!

Side note: If you love coffee you will DEFINITELY love this recipe. 

So here it is for the coffee lovers out there that need a good healthy and delicious cup of coffee! I have perfected this cup of coffee. It took me months to finally perfect it. 

Healthy Ingredients

1 cup of brewed coffee

1 scoop of collagen 

1 tablespoon of  honey

Dash of cinnamon

1/3 cup of coconut or almond milk (my personal fav is the califia one!)

I mix all the ingredients to a cup and then I put it in the blender for 2 seconds and you are done!

Sometimes I add coco whip on top!

My go-to Breakfast

by

Everyone has breakfast and meals that they love to make every morning. For me breakfast is definitely my favorite meal of the day. Not just because I get to eat, but to eat healthy nutritious food that I know will give me energy throughout the whole day.

Here is my go to breakfast for a simple, easy, and delicious meal to start off the day:

Ingredients:

  • 2 organic cage free local eggs
  • 1/3 cup of cage free egg whites
  • 2 teaspoons of Ghee butter
  • 3 pieces of central market black forest bacon
  • Sprinkle of Cinnamon
  • 1/2 a banana paleo birch benders waffle

toppings on waffle: banana, walnuts, local raw honey and coconut whip cream

Steps:

  1. Cook bacon first (because it takes the longest). I normally cut my bacon in half to cook it better
  2. While bacon is cooking start on the eggs
  3. Heat pan to medium and use 1 teaspoon of ghee butter in the pan
  4. In a seperate bowl scramble the eggs and egg whites together
  5. Cook the eggs until its pretty much done then add the bacon back into the eggs and cook for a little bit longer
  6. Heat waffle maker or heat another pan (if you want a pancake instead)
  7. Add water to the birch benders paleo mix and add cinnamon
  8. Once waffle is cooked add ghee butter and toppings and you are good to go 🙂

I hope y’all try this sweet and savory breakfast and let me know what you think!

My Top 7 Amazon Products for Healthy Lifestyle

by

These are my top 7 amazon products to having and maintaining a healthy and happy lifestyle! I have tried SO many products over the years and here are my top 7. These products will help you live a happier and healthier lifestyle for God! Just remember that God is the only thing we need in this life and everything else is just a blessing!

Garden of Life Organic protein powder-

This is the BEST protein powder! I have tried SOO many protein powders and this by far beats every single one! I use this protein powder almost every day in my oatmeal, protein shake, smoothie, pancake/waffle. Why organic?

Garden of Life Pre-workout-

BEST pre-workout ever.

I have tried SOO many pre-workouts and most of the products I have tried used to give me the shakes and my heart would beat almost uncontrollably and I felt very unnatural. Although when I came along the garden of life pre-workout I fell in LOVE with it! It has NOTHING artificial in it and its only 50 calories!

 

Hydro Jug Pink

I have tried many hydro jugs and this one is the BEST. It doesn’t leak and it holds a gallon which is what I drink in a day so it’s perfect for making sure I am drinking enough water!

 

Star-west greens powder

Greens powder is a very interesting and controversial thing because many people believe that we can just eat a salad and we dont need actual green vitamins. However, the vitamin content and mineral content has decreased by 40% in the past 30 years. If you wanted to get the same vitamin C that your grandma had you would have to eat 8 oranges compared to your grandmas 1 orange. I believe this product is very helpful and getting proper nutrition and vitamins to nourish your body.

 

 

 

Garden of life Probiotics

This product is one of my favorites because we do not get enough probiotics in our food in order to digest food. I have struggled with digestion most of my life and this product changed everything! This product is essential for a healthy gut and sliming down your stomach and helping digest your food better!

 

 

Multi Collagen Powder

Want to get long hair? Do to grow your nails? Want a healthy gut? Would you like to have clear/soft skin? Well, then this product is for you! Our bodies are made up of collagen therrefore we NEED collagen in order to thrive! If you are looking for a healthy you, I highly recommend getting this collagen! I have tried many collagens and this by far is the BEST!

 

Just so you guys know, I am with the amazon affiliate program. So I do make a tiny commission off of this, but it’s not about the money. It’s about showing y’all good products for a healthier and happier lifestyle for God!
