Did you hear on ? 30-30-3. 30g protein at breakfast (or at least that much in each meal for me), 30g fiber a day, 3 probiotic foods daily. Not too hard. Fun goal. New way to create some recipes. This ice cream makes 2 servings and is about 289 cal. 33g protein and 4g fiber with 2 probiotics added per serving. Yay for gut health! To make: 1 c low-fat kefir, 1 cup low-fat probiotic cottage cheese, 1 sachet chocolate protein powder, 2 TBS allulose, 1 TBS high polyphenol cacao powder. Blend. Freeze overnight. Add to your - add a bunch of frozen raspberries, 2 TBS crushed walnuts and a few sugar free choc chips and use the mix in setting. With a little planning and being intentional- you can hit any goal! Probiotics do survive the freezer and Google said that’s after two months. This ice cream will be gone in 2 days.

I’m going to start posting more of what I do and use. Not because I think I’m amazing or feel “influence-y.” But I realized I get asked a lot about what I do. Live and online. I have a system and things I’m passionate about. They’re very easy for me, but I realize not everyone knows where to start. I take a lot of time and care to research A LOT. Like- a ton. I feel better now than I did in my 20s-30s and it’s because I’m intentional. I want to age really well. What’s the point of living long if you feel crummy or waste your days thinking and wishing you were “doing better?!” I choose to “do better” often. Like… 80% or more of the time. It’s starts with my food (clearly, it’s what I mainly post about but it’s soooo much more). Workouts. Supplements. Peptides. And now I’m doing better with what I use on my skin, clothes and dishes. It’s really not hard once you make it a lifestyle. So I’m going to start sharing more! I’ll do the research and save you loads of time. is my latest find and I’m digging it all. Dm me for a discount if you want it.

I take a lot of supplements in pill form. I tried switching some to gummies because (gag- you can only take so many), but I noticed some made me feel bloated. So I wanted to find a powder that did all the things a few of my supps did and tasted great. is that magic! I’ve been taking inositol for a while to keep my cycles going as long as I can. Peach Perfect has Myo-inositol and d-chiro inositol in a 40:1 ratio which helps insulin sensitivity, ovarian function and people with PCOS. It’s also got my basic vitamins covered: D, Mag, zinc, omega 3. I CRAVE the taste and it helps me down my water too. I add electrolytes and it’s the best morning concoction! Love it so much they gave me a code for you. Perfectpeach.com/livinglean. Code LIVINGLEAN

Ladies. Stop saying creatine will make you bulky or bloated. delivers it in the most fun way possible- FLAVORED! If ya hate plain water like I do- this is the trick plus they add BCAAs and collagen. My slushie has 1 cup of water, handful of ice cubes, 1/3 cup frozen blueberries, 1 scoop extra collagen and 1 scoop of the peach flavored “booty builder” creatine. I could drink this every day post-workout! If you want a discount (I highly recommend it!) it’s peachperfect.com/livinglean

Sometimes it’s the little things that save calories and carbs (without sacrificing flavor)- and in this case- a huge boost of fiber and protein. Something like 90% of people don’t get their daily fiber needs met. Fiber helps your gut health. It can help with weight management too. So instead of using panko or regular bread crumbs- I made my own with a single everything bagel. One bagel is only 80 calories and has 38g of fiber! You should be aiming for at least 25g a day, so these get you there easily and they don’t bloat! To make this chicken- simply pound out four small chicken breasts so they’re a bit thinner. Whisk two eggs and set aside. Cube one bagel and air fry for 9-10 min or until crispy like croutons. Blend to fine crumbs. Mix with 1/2 cup grated fresh Parmesan, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, salt and pepper. Dip each chicken breast in the egg and let the excess drip off. Coat well in the crumb mixture. Coat with olive oil cooking spray on both sides (or drizzle with a little olive oil) and air fry for 10-12 min or until cooked through. Serve with marinara or a drizzle of hot honey. I have a link with a discount for you. I love them that much that I asked for one. So dm me if you want it- or just go to Whole Foods, Amazon, Walmart or their site. Their bread is amazing too!

Can’t stop making these! Even my sweet potato-hating son devoured them. Yep- finally converted him. Japanese sweet potatoes aren’t as sweet as the regular ones and don’t get as mushy- maybe that’s why. These develop a resistant starch overnight which is so good for your gut and better on your blood sugar. I mash them the next day and place in a casserole dish and whip up some eggs and veggies and pour on top and bake. The potatoes make a crust and you can slice it and eat like a quiche. Comment if you give them a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Whipped this together after the gym in 1 minute to add about 15g of protein to my protein cottage cheese pancakes. I say it all the time- but the key is protein powder. Y’all- I’ve been cooking with protein powders for years- like over a decade (and I got really good at using them as a Quest media chef). This one is special because it mixes so well, has no grittiness or stickiness (if you know wheys well…you know what I mean) and it’s a deep, rich chocolate with no funny sweetness or aftertaste. Nutella has loads of sugar and palm oil. Mine has protein, is way lower in carbs and fat. But it’s rich, nutty, chocolate-y and has a super dope consistency. Anyway- comment if you give it a try 🍫

I use two Hydrate electrolytes a day. Most people need them to actually absorb the water they drink. (And by most- it’s everyone. Yes you). They taste amazing. Aren’t filled with junk. And aren’t too salty. This slushy recipe was a home run. My son wouldn’t share it with me. Their subscribe and save deal is SOOO 🔥. https://corvive.com and click on hydrate.

You know that pretzel toffee people make during the holidays? It’s so easy and you can make it without sugar, WITH added protein and it tastes just as good but won’t spike your blood sugar. Recipe in the video. Enjoy!

Recipe in video. Each serving (recipe makes 2) is only 244 calories, 26g protein, 5g carbs and 9g fat. So filling. So fun. Like a spoonable PBJ sandwich. .power cinnamon crunch is the key ingredient!

Making nut butter is so easy. Ya just need a good blender. But what makes it fun are all the additions you can add to make it like a healthy treat. I typically use cashews as the base and add a dash of monk fruit for sweeteners and some sugar free chips and in this batch some crushed .power pretzels. Use it on apples, rice cakes, low carb toast or, if you’ve got willpower, just a spoon.
