Any red wine lovers out there!? 🍷

Have you ever noticed how your mouth is stained after drinking? You can thank mega purple for that!

Mega purple is a thick grape juice concentrate that can be added to red wine. Wine producers add it to help standardize the bottle, adding color and massive amounts of sweet fruit flavor (it has a whopping 68% sugar content)

Gross right?! And with no nutrition label they don't ever have to tell you it's in there! 😡

Scout and cellar wines are clean crafted and lab tested to ensure the wine has NO ADDITIVES, EVER! No mega purple here!! Just grapes and sunshine🍇☀️🍇☀️🍇☀️🍇☀️

Happy Thursday!
It's been much too long since I've posted on here! And this is why 🍷
I've discovered a wine that falls in line with my health goals🤯 and I've been busy sharing it.
It's time I share it with you!

Anyone love wine but not the side effects?? I've got some exciting news for you😁

I'm loving this new (to me) way of roasting spaghetti squash.
I was having a hard time cutting it raw so I put the whole squash in the oven untouched.
I let it roast about 15 minutes 400° and then cut it in slices. It was the perfect texture for an easy slice.
Drizzle with olive oil and return to the oven until tender.
Remove the seeds and replace with your favorite sauce or topping.
Today was a pesto meat sauce😋

Enjoy!

🌈Eat the rainbow🌈

What does that even mean??
When I make my morning smoothie I try and get every color of the rainbow involved.
Here I have strawberry, carrot, mango, kale, blueberry and cherry. But why?

Every vibrant color of your produce helps your body in different ways. When you consume all of them together a synergy takes place producing even greater health benefits.

It can be hard to get every color of the rainbow in every day. That's why I choose to also add whole food concentrates to my diet. This is a simple way to assure I'm getting the proper variety every single day.

Do you eat the rainbow or stick to your favorite color?

The new FAST FOOD🌟
When I have a little extra time on the weekends I make my dinner x2

Tonight was stir fry. I doubled the veggies and put half in a freezer bag. This will make for a nice quick meal during the busy work week.

Meal prep may take a little extra work but it's worth it to keep on track and feeling good!

Very excited it's Friday!
Equally excited I get to try this tonight🍷

I gave up wine for a while because it gave me awful stomach problems the next morning.
After a little research I found clean crafted wines don't bother me! 👏

It turns out most wines you get in the stores are full of added sugar, additives and chemicals to give them uniform taste and color year after year😝

Clean crafted wine has one simple ingredient: GRAPES🍇that's it!

My tummy certainly knows the difference!

▪️coconut aminos
▪️salt
▪️pepper

The croutons are from Big Y
Topped with grilled chicken
Delicious every time! 😋

🌱Tower to table🌱
Hallie loves to pick kale to put in her smoothie every morning.
Keeping things hands on helps get her involved and more likely to eat what we make.
I feel good knowing it's home grown with no chemicals and packed full of nutrients! 🌟

🌟Morning Routine🌟

I start every day with the rainbow of fruits and veggies🌈
I try to pack a variety into a delicious smoothie that masks the healthy stuff from my girls.
We all love them! They taste AMAZING and are a great start to the day

Pictured here is pineapple, mango, blueberry, cherry, beets, strawberry, spinach, chard, kale, cinnamon and a vanilla protein powder that has an additional 15 plants!

What do you like in your smoothies?

Dinner tonight: ginger lime shrimp risotto with roasted veggies (olive oil) and grilled salmon.
I ran out of my omega supplement so I thought I would make that the focus of my meal.
Great for 🧠and💜health
I also notice a difference in my hair, skin, and nails!
How do you get your omegas??

My lunch box staple these days. A quick, easy, clean burst of protein when I just can't make it to lunch time! The Chomps beef was my favorite, which is why it's not pictured😋

Over the last 2 years we have been slowly swapping out things in our pantry for healthier options.
Why not do the same with wine?! 🍷
We are very conscious about what we eat, organic, simple ingredients whenever we can. When we discovered clean crafted wine, it was a no brainer.
No added sugar, no chemicals, great taste, yes please!
Take a peek and give it a try. Your body will thank you! (Think, no more morning headaches😉)

Happy Saturday! Time to sit for the first time this week and relax. FitVine was the winning choice, as always 🍷. If we decide to have wine it is always red. Although whites are delicious they are higher in sugar and lack the polyphenols of red wine. Studies have connected having a glass of red wine a day with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Just remember to drink organic to avoid any risk of pesticides. Fitvine tests all of their grapes for toxins and impurities. Drink up!

We’re always trying to improve our sleep as parents of toddlers. Always feeling stressed and tired. REM sleep is extremely important for over wellness. This stage of sleep is critical for learning and memory. Whereas deep sleep restores the body, REM sleep restores the mind. This is where you consolidate everything you have learned throughout your day. Increased REM will also boost your mood throughout the day.

This is where I struggle. My deep sleep is good but REM typically suffers. Why? I have noticed through my Oura Ring that when my body temp is elevated my REM is low and I’m exhausted when I wake up.

In comes the newest biohack. The chili pad! This is a pad that goes under your mattress cover that cycles cold water through it. You control the temp with a remote. I’ve been setting it to 56-58 degrees. Last night was day three using it and it was the best recorded night of sleep I have tracked in a year. Over 2 hours of REM and deep sleep. I felt amazing this morning. I am pleased with the purchase!
