Healthy fats are Okay!

One of my favorite lunches is avocado tomato salad with lemon and olive oil. I only add a small amout of olive Oil but this is a filling lunch and it's good for you! 

This is also something that taste better as it sits so if you have a 9-5 job and need a quick easy lunch idea to make in the a.m. I use to do it all the time and it always tasted so much better once I had my lunch break at work. ;) 

Enjoy guys!

On The Go Healthy Breakfast Muffins!

Probably not the type of muffins you were expecting but this low carb high protein recipe will keep 

you ready for your day and help you shed pounds. There are a lot of photos of these muffins that go around on instagram and pinterest with vague ways to make them. So this morning I decided to test it out and see how they came out. First of all they are exactly like an omelet but bite and travel size. Second, they are really easy to make and you can add whatever ingredients you want. Keep in mind this nutrition info is based of these specific muffins. I hope you guys enjoy if you give these a try Please don't forget to follow my blog for more post like this! xo

Ingredients:

2 cups spinach (organic)

1/2 onion (diced)

6 cherry tomatoes (wasn't sure if I'd like it so I started small)

3 slices of trader joes uncured peppered turkey bacon

10 whole eggs

Salt, black and red pepper.

Cupcake liners

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Beat eggs add seasonings of choice 

Mix other ingrediets in separate bowl.

Add a little but of egg to the liners to weigh them down then add other ingredients after you've chopped and mixed them.

Then pour egg over filling the liners

NUTRITION FACTS:

111 Calories for 2 muffins

Calories from fat: 60

Protein: 9.6 grams

Carbs: 1.8grams

Sugars: 1.0grams

Now as far as time I first out them in for 18 minutes and they weren't done then out them in for another 15 until they began to get puffy. And a toothpick/knife came out clear.

Depending on your oven start with 20 minutes and see if you need to leave them in longer :) 

Hope you guys enjoy these as much as I do!

These are my two new favorite things for the month of april ;) hope you enjoy.

I've been drinkin..... WATERMELON..

Hey guys,
Are you ready for the best spring/summer cocktails that are all natural and lower in calories and sugar and GREAT tasting.. ? Ok good.

I've made this a couple of times for peoples birthdays and parties and without fail people love it every time... This occasion I'm celebrating my 24th birthday early with my close friend and we decided to ditch some of the calories as well as the processed junk in juice and drink mixers.

(If you are under the age of 21 just skip the alcohol)

you can do this a couple of ways so I'll give you the options. Please comment below letting me know if you give this a try and what you think.
(always remember you can get creative and work with what you have add or subtract things you think may be better for you)

Ingredients:
Pineapple or Watermelon
Fresh Jalapeño
Fresh Lemon (lemon juice, or organic lemon aid)
if you opt for fresh lemon juice you'll need some agave or stevia.
I used Ciroc coconut vodka but I've used tequila and salted the rim before for a margarita.

Directions:
I used mason jars for fun and decoration but any glass or cup will work perfectly.
thinly slice some watermelon or pineapple and place in the cup.
Add 3 thin slices of jalapeño also.
Add a drop of your lemon juice or organic lemon aid (if you use lemon juice add agave or stevia to taste)
And then Muddle them with sturdy spoon or anything you can squish them down with lol
add larger chucks of your fruit and a few more slices of jalapeño.
add 1 1/2 shot of your vodka or tequila.
 Mix back and forth between two cups to evenly distribute the flavors.
Pour over ice and serve right away. Or leave over night to get a better spicy-sweet drink.

If you are someone who wants a mild drink take the jalapeño's out after you muddle them and get the spiciness you want.

if you keep them in the fridge over night you wont need ice but if you serve rigth away add some ice.

xoxo.
sending positive vibes your way.

Skip the potatoes and go with faux tatoes.

if you're trying to lose weight, stay healthy or just cut out some of the carbs try this cauliflower mash. It doesn't taste much different than traditional mash potatoes and you get to ditch the high carb. :)



give it a try and let me know what you think.
