Chocolate Protein Crepes

These chocolate Crepes are divine.

Yes they are gluten free. (since that's the first thing you always ask haha).

They are PACKED full of protein. 

But did you know they were also FULL of Superfoods ?!?!

Yes, 30+ BOTANICAL superfoods!!!!

Being a cancer survivor ... this is my daily non-negotiable. 

My ONE thing that curbs my cravings, helps me stay alkaline, gives me all my vitamins, minerals, adaptagens, amino acids, and a FULL DAY's supply of fruits and veggies. 

All for less than the price of a starbucks. 

WHY people still buy sub-par vitamins and supplements is beyond me. I only take the BEST. Botanical, organic, farm to table supplements. If you would like to try them you can send me an email to ask any questions, or you can check them out here. 

You can make it as a shake, you can make it as ice cream, pancakes, waffles, granola, yogurt, pudding, pie.... you choose. I would LOVE to help you with this solution in your life. 

Today I chose to make crepes, and they did NOT disappoint. One thing though... I don't fry my crepes. I am crepe flipping inept. So ... I found a solution. I bake them. Problem solved. Super easy and they come out perfect every time. 

If you are in my nutrition program these are 1/2 purple and 1/2 red per crepe. If you aren't on my nutrition program you SHOULD BE! Send me an email and let's get started! 

Chocolate Protein Crepes

4 eggs

1 scoop Shakeology  (I used chocolate)

1 cup 2% Greek Yogurt

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 dropper vanilla creme sweet drops

nonstick cooking spray

parchment paper

*Optional

Fruit of choice

Coconut whipped cream

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine Eggs, Shakeology, Greek Yogurt, Vanilla Extract, Vanilla Sweet Drops in a blender. 

Blend until fully combined and smooth. 

Prepare a baking sheet (that has edges) with parchment paper that has been lightly coated with cooking spray.

Drop 1/4 cup of batter onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat, being careful to space out the batter into circles. I could only fit 3 per sheet. 

Bake for 10 minutes. 

Remove from oven to cool slightly. 

Add to your plate and top with fruit, and if you want you can add healthy coconut whipped cream like i did. ( canned coconut milk in the fridge over night. pour out liquid and use solids, whip together with vanilla creme sweet drops and WALA!)

Or if you would rather, just add peanut butter:

Antibiotics... how they help and how they harm, and how to be proactive

GOOD MORNING! It is my last day of antibiotics and I could not be happier. Antibiotics are extremely helpful—they kill bad bacteria, stopping them from multiplying and allowing the body to fight back. But because they kill good bacteria, too, they can also do some pretty significant damage.

You know how antibiotics can sometimes get things moving down there a little faster than you'd like? That's because they're going to town on all kinds of bacteria—good and bad—totally disrupting the order of command in your intestines. Some people never recover. Researchers found that participants who took more than three antibiotics within a 5-year period were 1.5 times more likely to develop irritable bowel disease #IBS —specifically, ulcerative colitis or #Crohns disease.

Then there is the damage to your waistline... You're probably aware by now that there are antibiotics in your meat—but do you know why they're there? They're used to fatten up cows and chickens before they're slaughtered. A study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that antibiotic use in childhood not only influences childhood weight gain, but weight gain for years to come as well.

Then there is the affects to your brain...When antibiotics annihilate the bacteria in your gut—good and bad—they're affecting your mind, too. According to a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, just a single course of antibiotics may be associated with a higher risk of #depression and #anxiety .

So this is why I am doing a 21 day detox after Thanksgiving. Because I feel like a plumped up chicken, My mind is definitely hazy, and I sure don't like running to the toity.

ONE of the awesome supplements I will be taking on the detox has an ABUNDANCE off Bacillus coagula which is the most most impactful probiotic out there! It REALLY helps people who struggle with gut health/ tummy issues.

The detox also comes with an anti-inflammatory that soothes your digestive system, Fights #Cancer cells and also boosts BRAIN FUNCTION!! HOLLA!!!

That is just a few things it does. Its safe, botanical, organic healthy and will IMPROVE your health vs. hurting it with starvation or breaking down your digestive system which is what most detoxes do.

If you are wanting to do a post holiday DETOX or CLEANSE hit me up! 

I help people get healthy naturally. Being a cancer survivor I learned how necessary it is to detox after indulging. I have got your back! My passion is to help others stay cancer free.

When ENOUGH is ENOUGH its time to take ACTION and change your life permanently

Hey beautiful.

Yep, I am talking to you. 

Right now I want you to STOP the negative self talk and realize how amazing you are. 

So you have dark circles under your eyes, from taking care of EVERYONE else but you. 

SO WHAT your tummy is stretched out from the LIFE you brought into this world. Maybe you haven't had time or money to make it to the hair or nail salon so a messy bun is a constant companion on your head. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! 

I realize first hand how much of our identity is given up when we decide to have children. I also know Mom's would not change a thing. We give our ALL to those we love. But... I am here to remind you.

YOU GOTTA FIRST LOVE YOURSELF!!!

You have those precious eyes watching. What do you want to teach them? 

Self love?

or

Self defeat?

It is a humbling experience to become a mom and no one quite prepares you for that. I know what it is like to have a tummy that feels like jello and NO energy to do anything about it. Which led me to just eating comfort food to console my self loathing thoughts. 

Is this you?

This is the place I was in 3 years ago. I was fat, sick and nearly dead..

Well maybe not, but I sure felt like it. I was 6 weeks POST operation for the removal of 3 cancer tumors in my body. My tummy had been sliced open 8 inches for the biggest tumor to be removed which REALLY did a number on my self esteem. I looked 6 months pregnant because of the HUGE tumor that was growing in my uterus.  Frustrated, defeated and full of tears I remember laying in bed thinking "THIS IS NOT THE WAY LIFE IS SUPPOSED TO BE!" 

I hated my skin, hated my hair, hated everything about me. I was angry at the world and I KNEW that I didn't want to feel that way any more. NEVER again! I made the decision to give myself the love I needed and wanted. So I could learn to love others and help others stop hating themselves. I never looked back. I didn’t feel good and I had to make a change. I was introduced to yoga, clean eating, and superfoods through my Cancer recover counseling and ended up getting more education in nutrition. I also documented the process and what I learned in my book: Nourish - The beginner's guide to eating healthy and staying fit. 

I fell in love with inversions. Headstand, handstand, pincha, but I could not hold them for long and my alignment was not awesome. I knew I needed more muscle and toning. I had lost 10 lbs just from adding superfoods and yoga into my life and I finally had more energy to add more. So I started adding a 30 minute workout to my life. What happened next...

Over the course of those next 3 months I focused on “ME” for at least 30-45 each day. I would push play for my workout session. I sweated, I cried, I thought I would never change, but then right before my eyes my body started to change. As I embraced clean eating and drank Shakeology daily my skin began to glow, my hair and nails got stronger, and I had more natural energy! I was stronger and I started to have more confidence. WHAT!!!! I was THAT girl who NEVER had EVER Stuck to a fitness program in my life. I always started our the year making a New Years Resolution to get in shape and then I was gone in 2 weeks and stuck paying a membership for the year. I was the girl who would walk into a gym, take some classes and then walk around doing the weights (COMPLETELY WRONG) acting like I knew what I was doing, then I would go make a huge italian dinner with bread and noodles and loads of wine. I had never permanently changed my diet before, but, I liked it! I mean I REALLY liked who I was transforming into, and I LOVED the way my LIFE was changing. 

This is my transformation of 2 rounds 21 day fix and 1 round 21 day fix extreme and Shakeology. Total time 3 months.

Total weight lost from start to finish -65lbs. 

I started running little groups of other women and men that wanted to change their lives too. 

That is when the miracles started rolling in!

My best friend Penny has lost OVER 100 pounds so far!

My daughter lost 35 pounds!

And that was just the beginning! As of now I personally have been able to help HUNDREDS of people reach their goals. I also started a team that is joining forces with me and we all work together to help people as much as we can. 

My inversions sure changed too!!!

I can say that because of my team, the support of the challenge groups and the other women in the group I truly have found a way to love the skin that I am in! 

We all have imperfections.  I earned my imperfections and I learned to love them! They are a part of who I am. Does this speak right to your heart??? Then maybe its time for you to trust me and finally take that leap of faith and join my next challenge group!

So now, my job as a coach is to pay it forward. I am going to be launching a specific accountability and support group that is geared towards matching you up and with a fitness program and nutrition guide to meet your needs but to walk you through the process of changing your unhealthy habits, creating a more positive mindset, embracing your imperfections and chucking the word diet to the wind. We are not dieting, we are creating a healthy lifestyle. Because we are supposed to be ABUNDANT in ALL areas of our lives. 

So STOP making excuses and make a DECISION to change instead. I promise you will work just as hard on your excuses that you will on effort towards your goals. So why not work toward the POSITIVE?

What Do I Need For This Group?

Shakeology does that! It is my saving grace because quite honestly there are days that I am so busy that I don’t have time to make a balanced meal so this is my go to!! It has EVERYTHING your body needs, and is superfoods! Plus it really does taste awesome!

There is no more trying to navigate this change on your own. We are working at this together.

–My goal is to get you a program that you are excited about and that you start and complete it. I do not want it to be something that sits on your shelf and collects dust!
