Happy Friday ya'll!!! Just wanted to share the recipe for the smoothie I just made. It's really tasty. Ingredients: - 2 frozen bananas (if using fresh ripe, you may need to add more ice) - 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest, it's zest from about ½ an orange. - 1½ cups fresh squeezed orange juice (about 2-3 oranges) - ¾ cup unsweetened oat milk or almond milk - ¾ teaspoon pure vanilla extract - 4-6 ice cubes (or more if you want it thicker) - 1 tablespoon agave optional (I don’t think this smoothie needs it, but if you’re into things extra sweet, go for it.) Blend and enjoy!!! 🍊 🍌

Happy Thursday ya'll. Yes… you can enjoy chocolate and stay aligned with your wellness goals. These dairy-free dark chocolate morsels (69% cacao 🙌🏽) are one of my go-to sweet, satiating snacks when I want something rich and satisfying without going overboard. Dark chocolate in moderation can help curb cravings, provide antioxidants, and leave you feeling satisfied instead of spiraling. The key is mindful enjoyment versus mindless snacking. Wellness isn’t about restriction, it’s about conscious choices. Are you team “I need something sweet sometimes” or team “I can skip sweets”? Cheers to balance. 🍫🍫🍫

If you’ve felt your motivation dip, routines wobble, or old habits creep back in….you are not failing, you are normal. The middle of January is where intention meets real life.This is the moment most people give up, not because they can’t do it, but because they expect perfection instead of progress. You don’t need to start over or have to be perfect, you can be present. One small aligned choice today still counts. Pause. Breathe. Recommit gently.Drink more water.Choose one nourishing meal.Take one mindful walk.Release the all-or-nothing mindset. Momentum isn’t built in January 1st energy, it’s built right here. What’s one small thing you’re recommitting to for the rest of January? You’re still in this and I’m right here with you. 💫💜💫💜💫

Hey ya'll! I made some vegan cheese sauce for the chili cheese nachos I made today. It's an all-purpose cheese sauce if you are looking for a non-dairy option. Here's the recipe. It's really tasty. Ingredients: 1/4 cup raw cashews, soaked 1 1/4 cups peeled and diced yellow or red potatoes 1/2 cup peeled and diced carrots 2 to 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast, to taste 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or refined coconut oil (or a light tasting oil) 2 1/2 tablespoons water 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste 1 medium garlic clove, peeled 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon white wine vinegar, to taste Sriracha or other hot sauce, to taste (optional) Directions: 1. Soak the cashews in a bowl of water overnight. Drain and rinse. (For a quick-soak method, bring a small pot of water to a boil and turn off the heat. Add the cashews to the hot water and soak for 30 to 60 minutes. Drain and rinse.) 2. Add potatoes and carrots to a small pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes until fork tender. Drain. Alternatively, you can steam the veggies until cooked through. 3. Add all ingredients except hot sauce to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, a splash of water or oil can help it along. Sample the sauce and adjust seasonings as desired. Add Sriracha (or other hot sauce) as preferred, if you’d like to give the cheese a spicy kick! 4. The sauce will keep for up to one week refrigerated in an airtight container. Let me know if you try it out. 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
