Healthy Snacks

I always like to have healthy snacks in my fridge or snack cupboard for myself and my family to easily grab without to much effort. I try to include at least a protein in the snack as well as a fruit or vegetable. Here is my go-to list
  • Greek Yourt + Honey + Fruit
  • Guacamole + Veggies
  • Veggies + Hummus
  • KIND bars
  • Apple Slices + Almond Butter
  • Banana + Almond Butter
  • Shakeology
  • Homemade Protein Balls
  • Popcorn (plain) + Almonds
  • Cottage Cheese + Fruit
  • Raw Almonds
  • Raw Cashews + Strawberry
  • String Cheese + Grapes
  • Protein Bar
  • Homemade Trail Mix
  • Homemade Granola Bars
The weeks meal plan is a little Bland, I'm getting back to the basics to see if I can get my HORRIBLE eating habits under control. When I don't have my meals planned out and prepped then I usually just find something quick and easy to eat and it usually is not healthy as I'm sure you all can relate.
Breakfast will be vegetables and eggs. I usually steam veggies for dinner and then use the leftovers the next day in my eggs. I also like to eat something sweet for breakfast so I will usually eat a couple kiwis or strawberries.
My morning SNACKS are always Greek yogurt with some sort of fruit in it, this week I'm going to have kiwis or fresh pineapple. I always try to provide fresh fruit for my family instead of the fruit in a can in which always has added sugar and a bunch of other stuff.
Lunches are going to switch off between my nourishment bowl and Chicken Tostada. The nourishment bowl is crammed packed with nutritious food that is very good for your body and of course the Chicken Tostada is delicious.

Flynn Lee

We welcomed our third baby boy into this world the morning of December 29, 2015.
It 
was such a beautiful experience even as a planned csection. I was 39.5 weeks when I had him. I was able to have skin to skin with him right after he was born. 
I was also able to breast feed as soon as we got into the recovery room. Which is what I wanted. 
We are still going strong with breast feeding 5 weeks later. My goal is to breast feed him until he is 1 year old. 
I'm still pretty sore from the surgery and plan on taking it easy until my 6 week checkup and if I'm allowed to get back to working out then I will start there. I have been honing my healthy eating habits the last 2 weeks along with walking everyday and I feel great.
