My 4 biggest pregnancy cravings...

I’ve heard about pregnancy cravings my entire life, and most of the time they are strange out of the box type cravings that only a pregnant woman would understand. IYKYK

I thought it would be fun to share my top pregnancy cravings with all of you! As a Certified Holistic Nutritionist I try to always been very aware of what I eat and how it fuels my body and my energetics; that being said pregnancy is a whole new game and I wasn’t sure what to expect.

The first trimester I had more food aversions than food cravings. I have never been a big meat lover, which is odd because growing up family ate a ton of meat. This pregnancy, especially the first trimester, meat was such a trigger for me. In fact, I had to go upstairs while my husband cooked chicken because the smell made me so sick.

I didn’t really start to notice my cravings until I was well into my 2nd trimester. My biggest cravings have been… green juice (like 1-2 per day!), fresh cold fruit (blueberries, strawberries, apples, raspberries, blackberries…all of it), peanut butter (turns out you can put peanut butter on almost everything!), and coffee.

I was pleasantly surprised when I realized my body was naturally craving green juice and fresh fruit…what can I say baby is very on brand! lol These were both already a part of my diet, but the amount I am consuming of both have gone up tremendously. (and for those of you who think fruit is bad for you and your blood sugar…mine is the lowest it’s ever been…like ever.)

I feel like peanut butter is every pregnant woman’s craving. The amount that I have gone through this pregnancy is…well it’s a lot, let’s leave it there! I have been using peanut butter as a protein and a healthy fat for smoothies, oatmeal bowls, and so much more.

My last, and definitely my most surprising craving has been coffee. I was never a big coffee drinker, and pre-pregnancy only really drank it if I went out or on the weekends with my husband. Coffee has never been my thing…until now. I’m not sure if it’s the fact that I “can’t have it” / need to limit my caffeine that makes me want it or just the taste itself. I’m leaning towards the latter. I don’t crave it for the energy boost, but for the actual coffee taste. After talking to my Doctor’s and doing some research myself, I learned that my coffee craving is actually due to my anemia. Apparently when you are anemic you often crave coffee and the bitter flavor. This is why I will forever consider myself a student, always learning something new!

My take on pregnancy cravings is very similar to my take on cravings in general. I do not believe in restricting, especially because it can become a very unhealthy habit quickly. Instead I feel it is okay to give into your cravings, occasionally, and in healthy moderation. Sitting down with a box of cookies every night is not healthy moderation, but allowing yourself to have 1 small cookie a day or a few days a week is totally fine. When we restrict and forbid certain foods it can quickly become an issue, especially mentally, and frequently leads to binging on that food. Listen to your body, and see what it’s really asking for. For example, my body isn’t really asking for coffee it’s asking for more iron and heme, so that’s what I give it.

I’d love to know what your biggest pregnancy crave is or was?!? Comment below and let me know!

How to have more energy without caffeine

This has been one of my most requested blog posts, so I’m going to share my secrets with you today!

I gave up caffeine in June, and the months leading up to that breakup I drank very little caffeine. This was a huge deal for me because previously when I was all about the hustle and grind, serving other people and not taking care myself, I was drinking a ton of caffeine! It was legit fueling my day. I would have multiple cups of tea every day and a few coffees or espresso shots per week. I couldn’t get through the day without my caffeine.

Now looking back I realize that I was using caffeine to cover up my extreme fatigue from over working myself and prioritizing the needs of my clients and my work over myself. Fortunately, I realized this early in 2021 and had some massive changes personally and professionally.

So how do I do it all without caffeine now?!?

I focus on flooding my body with nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and the enzymes it needs.

I focus on getting good quality sleep - this is a non-negotiable for me.

I hydrate - my goal is 100 oz of pure clean water every day!

I swear by the Lean and Green Body® morning routine.

I eat a ton of greens. GREENS = ENERGY

If I need a pick me up I drink a lemon water, go for a walk outside, stretch, put on some fun music, or have a dance party!

Instead of covering up my body’s needs, I tune into them now. I am more in touch with my body than ever. Part of this is due to pregnancy, but part is due to massive healing I have done this year. I took inventory of where I was (mind, body and soul) and looked at where I wanted to be…I identified what was holding me back from living my best life, and made the necessary changes.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying a warm cup of tea or coffee, especially on these cool mornings, but if you are looking to cut down on your caffeine intake or eliminate it completely I would recommend following my list above. Instead of focusing on what you are taking away (caffeine) focus on what you are adding (nutrients, water, greens, etc).

If you’ve cut out caffeine or are looking to I’d love to hear from you! Comment below and let me know what your experience has been!

10 Non-Dairy Foods that are High in Calcium

I’m hoping by now that we all understand the importance of calcium in our diet. Calcium is essential for our heart, our bones, our nerves and so much more. Many Americans turn to dairy to achieve appropriate levels of calcium in their diet, however these sources are typically fortified with calcium and do not naturally contain high levels (if any) of calcium. There are several non-dairy food items that are natural high in calcium and extremely beneficial for your health.

10 Non-Dairy Foods that are High in Calcium

1. Kale and leafy green vegetables

2. Chia seeds

3. Sardines

4. Canned salmon

5. Lentils and beans

6. Almonds

7. Rhubarb

8. Amaranth

9. Edamame

10. Figs

The Blog is Back!

I’m back! I took a little two week break from the blog to rest and restore. I have been writing my blog twice per week for six years, and every now and then I think it’s healthy to take a step back to rest, to remember my why, and come back with fresh eyes. 

I would love to know what you would like to see more of…recipes, nutrition tips, wellness, yoga, meditation, mindfulness…comment below and let me know! xxx

6 Benefits of Adding Vegan Days to Your Diet

The vegan or vegetarian lifestyle may not be for you, but adding just 1 or 2 vegan or vegetarian days in to your diet per week can have a tremendous impact on your health!

I recently posted a blog with an update on how I’ve changed my diet this past year, and how I am feeling eating mostly vegan. Check it out HERE

Here are 6 ways adding vegan or vegetarian days into your diet can boost your health:

Better digestion! Animal protein is really tough for our bodies to digestion, breakdown, assimilate and eliminate; so when we take it out of the equation we often experience better and easier digestion.

More energy! Like I mentioned above animal protein is really tough for our bodies to breakdown, it takes a lot of our energy away from our personality, our work, our endurance to breakdown and digest meat; so when we take it out of the equation even for a day or two, we experience more energy and vitality.

More nutrients. Vegan and vegetarian diets are typically much more nutrient dense, and tend to be higher in fiber, potassium, magnesium, folate and Vitamin A, C, E, and K.

Find a healthy weight. A diet free from animal protein and animal fat can lead to weight loss, and will allow your body to naturally find it’s perfect weight. Much of this has to do with the three previous points: better digestion, more energy, and more nutrients.

Lower blood sugar levels. A vegan and vegetarian diet tends to promote lower glucose levels, better A1C numbers, and lowers ones risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Heart health and lower cholesterol. It is well documented that a vegan and vegetarian diet can help to lower cholesterol levels. After all cholesterol comes from animal products so when we eliminate or limit these our cholesterol levels naturally drop. Decreasing the amount of animal protein and animal fat will also benefit our heart, and prevent or help with clogged arteries and decreased heart function due to poor dietary choices.

I believe that some people do require more animal protein than others; but I also believe that we do not need nearly as much as many assume we do. I am here to educate you and provide you with science based facts. There are several reasons to add vegan days into your diet, and your health is just one.

Would love to know if you have any questions on adding in vegan days or if you’ve already incorporated them into your weekly routine! Comment below and let me know! xx

Life Update! I've made some major changes to my diet...

I have made some major changes to my diet this year, and thought it was time to let you in on what I’ve been doing!

To start I just want to say that aside from food allergies I really dislike food labels. I’m not a fan of all the trendy diets and my education shows that many will lead to organ issues down the road. {terrible!}

Instead I prefer to eat mindfully and intuitively. If you’ve been reading my blog for some time you know that I avoid gluten, dairy and eggs due to food allergies; other than that I listen to my body and eat according to what it needs. I do not deprive and I do not restrict.

 Let me just add that I am at a point in my life and through lots of nutrition school, (college, graduate and post graduate work in nutrition) so when I say I do not deprive and I do not restrict - it does not mean that I sit home eating a box of cookies and a bag of chips. No way! It has taken me a long time but I have a really healthy relationship with food, and I understand how certain foods make me feel. I am at the point now where I would rather feel amazing and vibrant all the time, so I avoid foods that will take away my energy and my vibrancy. My energy is too precious to be wasted.

That being said I have never been a big fan of animal protein. In the past six months I’ve intuitively been making conscious changes and listening to my body and I have pulled away from meat even more; not for diet reasons I simply just do not have a taste for it right now. This may change one day, and I am open to that as well. I eat animal protein (wild caught, wild raised, organic) when I desire it; right now that is about 0-2 times per week. This may seem unattainable or unrealistic to some, but it wasn’t a conscious change. I didn’t wake up one day and say I think I’m going to stop eating meat, no lol. Instead I intuitively listened to what my body was asking for…

….and I have to say I have never felt better.

So although I do not attach myself to the vegetarian or vegan label (because I will eat meat if I desire it, plus I drink bone broth, use collagen, and bee pollen) I do find that adding vegan or vegetarian days into your diet can do wonders for you body.

I would love to know what diet changes you have made lately, or are trying to make?

The Perfect Post-Workout Snack

BANANAS 🍌

this fruit gets such a bad rap due to the amount of sugar & carbs in one banana - and it’s not a great choice for some people… no food is perfect for every body 😉

that being said...there are sooo many incredible benefits in bananas!

• improve digestive health
• support weight loss
• support your heart
• high in antioxidants
• boost energy
• muscle recovery
• fight cancer

The perfect post workout snack… you guessed it, a banana!

A banana with a tsp of nut butter is an excellent post workout snack - high in electrolytes, potassium, carbs and protein - it will help you recover faster and prevent muscle cramps! Plus this snack costs about 25 cents if you buy organic, amazing! This fit everyones budget.

Making Organic Food Accessible for All!

The conversation about organic food and the price of eating organic has been a hot topic (again) lately. Many people feel that organic food is “unattainable” for everyone, and many people feel that it is too expensive for their family. This is a conversation that I am so passionate about, so this blog series is my attempt to help educate and teach you why organic food is so important and how you can in fact afford it.

Organic food is essential for a healthy body. Conventional food (non-organic) is loaded with pesticides, herbicides, and toxins…and has bene proven to cause disease and illness in the body. You can not wash off these toxins, and ultimately you end up ingesting them. Once ingested it is very difficult for your body to fully eliminate them…often times they get stored in your liver or kidneys along with heavy metals and other toxins. Eating organic is much cheaper than cancer, heart disease, and the variety of other illnesses linked to these pesticides, herbicides and toxins.

It' is not essential that you eat everything organic. The Environmental Working Group releases a list each year of the Dirty Dozen - the foods you should absolutely buy organic - and a list of the Clean Fifteen - the foods you do not have to buy organic, but can if you choose to.

I understand that at some stores organic food is ridiculously priced…$2 for one lemon is crazy!! This is price gouging and is a clear example of companies trying to take advantage of consumers, it drives me crazy. For years Whole Foods was known as “whole paycheck” to some due to their high prices.

I have had a love affair with Whole Foods since 2011, and it is still one of my favorite places to shop. When Whole Foods and Amazon merged I noticed a huge drop in prices, especially if you are an Amazon Prime member. I actually find better deals on organic foods at Whole Foods than I do Publix (equal to a Shop Right, Krogers, Stop n Shop etc), it’s amazing! You would think the “conventional” grocery store would have the cheapest prices, but that is not always the case. It’s important to know where to shop and how to shop. My husband and I love going to the local farmers markets as well to buy organic produce and support local farmers.

I always create a list before going grocery shopping, this keeps me on task and avoids too many unintentional purchases. We shop at three different grocery stores monthly to get everything we need, our weekly go-to’s are Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s.

I consider being in the know and grocery shopping part of my job! It helps me to create fun new recipes for all of you, keep my family healthy by practicing what I preach, and find sales for my clients. Truth be told I love grocery shopping! The pandemic ruined that a bit for me, but I have hope that someday we will find our way back to “normal life”. For now I mask up and try to go at off hours to avoid large crowds.

In an effort to provide more free content, and make organic healing food available to more people I am going to be publishing a few recipes on how to feed a family of 4 on a budget…all organic! I understand that the pandemic has hit people really hard financially, and I want to show you that you can still eat healthy (and organic) and stay on budget. Our health is our greatest wealth, and is so vitally important. I hear so many stories about people eating fast food because it is cheap and easy…there is nothing cheap and easy about disease and illness, and it’s my job to help you prevent that.

First recipe comes next week! Stay tuned!

The Easiest {and tastiest} Roasted Asparagus Recipe Ever!

Roasted Asparagus

Ingredients:

Organic raw asparagus

Avocado Oil or Grapeseed Oil

Pink Sea Salt

Black Pepper

Directions:

Pre-heat convection oven to 425 degrees

Wash and trim asparagus.

Lightly sprinkle oil, salt and pepper over asparagus.

Bake for 20-25 minutes (or until desired crispiness is achieved)…we find that 22 minutes for a full bundle is just perfect!

Enjoy!

Lean and Green Body® Pancakes!!

One of my goals for 2021 is to bake more. I have some serious food allergies and it makes it tough to enjoy foods that I once did. So it is my goal to make these foods from scratch - leave out all food allergens - and put my own Lean and Green Body® spin on it!

Over the weekend I made Lean and Green Body® Pancakes!

The pancakes are free from gluten, dairy, soy, tapioca, eggs, gums and fillers…they only contain a few simple ingredients!

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose gluten free flour

1 TBSP organic raw coconut sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup organic almond milk (or milk of choice!)

1 “Neat Egg”

3 TBSP organic vegan butter or oil

2 scoops of Vital Proteins Collagen

Splash of organic vanilla extract

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together and let batter sit for 4 minutes

After 4 minutes, scoop batter into ceramic fry pan and begin making pancakes! You may make the pancakes as big or as small as you like. I like to add a sprinkle of cinnamon onto the raw pancakes in the pan. Cinnamon is great to help balance blood sugar levels. Flip pancakes halfway through cooking process, you will notice they will turn a golden brown when ready to flip.

In order to make these pancakes high fiber I would recommend topping them with chia seeds and hemp seeds. This will add approximately 14 grams of protein per serving!

You can then top with any pancake topping you like!

I enjoy adding fresh fruit and a drizzle or organic pure maples syrup.

You could make it super fun and add chia seed whipped cream!

I can’t wait for you to try these out at home and let me know what your think!

This was my first try and I can’t wait to begin testing out more recipes in the near future.

Best Food & Drink in St. Pete!!

My husband and I snuck away to St. Pete for a few days after the holidays to relax and recharge. We had never visited the city before, and were super excited to check it out!

Like many others virtually all of our trips were canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19, and we began exploring our home state more…Florida has so many beautiful places to check out! We have decided to continue this in 2021.

I would not necessarily call my husband and I “foodies” although we do enjoy great food. We love finding healthy, local, and organic food when possible…along with all the juice bars!

Here are a few of our favorite restaurants we visited and would highly recommend…

Annata

Quaint wine bar down by the water, would highly recommend for date night or happy hour!

The Naked Farmer

Our favorite food! We had this several times as well…including on our way home. More of a take out place, but incredible local and seasonal bowls.

2nd and 2nd

Best brunch!! We had brunch here twice, and loved everything we tried.

Hollander

Fun vintage vibe! Really great daily specials…heard the desserts were amazing!

Red Mesa Cantina

Great lunch spot! Yummy tacos and a cute outdoor patio.

The Lure

One of my favorites spots, we visited several times on our trip! Great outdoor dining vibe… eclectic menu of sushi and tacos…pretty much all my favorite things.

The Mill

Another favorite! Best drinks and fun menu items. A must when in St. Pete!

Cassis

Great happy hour and brunch, super cute date spot near the water.

We had the best time in St. Pete and are already planning our next trip!

A natural approach to treating UTI's

Urinary tract infections (UTI’s) have become way too common in recent years. Many Doctor’s are quick to prescribe a potent antibiotic drug to wipe out the bacteria; while this may do some good initially the antibiotic is also wiping out all the good bacteria in your gut. So while they may have treated your UTI, now you have opened yourself up to a ton of other issues. What if I told you there was a “new” way…a different way. What if you could take something that your body already makes naturally, and it would kill the bacteria without harming your gut. Ready to hear more??

D.mannose is being used to naturally treat UTI’s, primary in women…and specifically women with recurrent history of UTI’s. D-mannose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) that is naturally found in our body, but can also be found in foods like cranberries, apples, oranges, peaches, broccoli and green beans. D.mannose may help stop UTI’s by preventing the bacteria (typically E.coli) from attaching itself to the urinary tract.

Multiple research studies have been completed on the effectiveness of D-Mannose and UTI’s and all show that D-mannose was as effective or more effective than the previously prescribed antibiotic -and it also helped to prevent future infections. D-Mannose can help to prevent recurrent UTI’s as well. Several studies have been conducted, specifically on women, and it has been shown to decrease the recurrence of the type of infections. Which in turn will decrease the amount of antibiotics these women will need to take - leading to better gut health. Urologists are now recommending D-Mannose to their patients for urinary tract health and prevention.

So how does it work? D-mannose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) that is released from the body and is filtered out through the kidneys and urinary tract. While in the urinary tract it will adhere to any bacteria there (specifically E.coli), preventing the bacteria from establishing colonies. It will stick to the bacteria, so the bacteria can no longer stick to each other or the urinary tract wall. The bacteria, and the D-mannose attached to the bacteria, will then make it’s way out of the body.

From my research it appears that D-Mannose is very effective at improving Urinary Tract Infections. D-mannose appears to not only treat the current infection and remove the bacteria from the urinary tract, but it also helps to prevent future infections. If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile you know that I love a good natural and holistic remedy, and am not a fan of antibiotics (unless absolutely necessary) so this is very exciting research for me!

Black Bean Salad

I’m officially in full holiday mode, and have been mapping out our Christmas Day menu. Even though it will just be my husband, myself and my parents I still want to make some fun appetizers and treats!

Due to COVID-19 I thought it would be fun to make individual appetizer plates for everyone, and one of the appetizers I am considering including is my black bean salad. This is a great option because it is super alkalizing for the body, it’s high in protein and fiber ….both of which will keep you full!

This recipe can feed a lot of people, and would also be great for Sunday football or your next virtual happy hour!

Black Bean Salad

Ingredients:

2 cans black beans, drained

1 (15-ounce) can corn, drained

2 roma tomatoes, diced

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup diced green onions

1/4 cup diced pineapple

1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced

4 tablespoons sherry vinegar

The juice from 1/2 lime

3 tablespoons honey (optional)

1 tablespoons salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

Pinch ground cumin

Directions:

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Celery Juice Update!

By now you all know I love my morning celery juice!

Over the past three weeks I have gotten in the habit of juicing every single morning…yes, even on the weekend. I have to say that I love it!

It was not easy to carve out this extra time for myself I the mornings, but with a few tweaks of my schedule and getting up earlier…I have found this super special time just for me in the morning!

I have made celery juice on and off for years now, and would occasionally buy the SUJA version but never got into a set routine for weeks on end.

I recently took a leave of absence and it was during this time that I thought “hey, why not try daily juicing again!”. I had all this “extra” time on my hands, and figured it would be a fun and super healthy little project for me.

Little did I know that I would love it so much! Some days I make 2-3 different juices at time using whatever I picked up from the farmer’s market. I have the entire process down to 20 minutes or less…wash, prep, trim, juice and clean up…pretty impressive!

I am about 3 weeks into my daily celery juice and I feel such a difference in my body. I don’t think I could ever go back. My skin is clear, my eczema is gone, the whites of my eyes are super white, my belly feels amazing and I have zero bloat.

I am going to keep it up and promise to keep you updated on my thoughts and changes along the way!

Have you tried daily celery juice? If so, comment below and let me know your thoughts!
