We’ve got a wonderful treat for you in store today…. Quinoa Banana Bread: An Easy High Protein Snack Yep. A tasty and moist banana bread made with quinoa for staying power and an added protein boost. It’s less than 150 calories per serving if you cut it up in to 10 generously thick slices. And of […]

Most people will read “healthy whole wheat beer bread” and think “whaaaat?!” Beer bread can’t be healthy because it has alcohol in it. You’re right. Beer is not healthy, especially since alcohol is toxic to your body. Seriously, it’s poison. I think in 2012, a few studies appeared highlighting the benefits of beer. I’m not sure if

Saddle up because today we’re making a healthy margarita recipe! One shot… Hey! Mas tequila! Two shots…  Courtesy of Sammy Hagar Is that too early for a Monday? I imagine this post is much more appropriate on a Friday, when you’re craving a drink from the busy-ness of the week. Let’s just say I’m helping you get

Happy Friday everyone! Lately, I’ve had a love affair with coconut. I really never had it growing up and now I just can’t get enough! Last week was the Avocado Coconut Smoothie and now we’ve got a healthy coconut macaroon recipe. Any suggestions for something coconutty next week? The inspiration for this healthy coconut macaroons recipe was from

Yep, protein powder cookies. How could it get any better than that? You’re taking two great things and making them one. Sorta like marriage or chocolate ice cream. Seriously though, the internet, Pinterest, and blogging communities have come a long way in healthy baking. Protein treats don’t have to be dry, crumbly, tasteless, or strangely

It’s finally summer! And hot days without air conditioning calls for cool drinks and no cooking. Which brings me to this strawberry lemonade smoothie. I’m not usually a big smoothie person because I would rather chew my food than drink it. But when you get your greens, protein and fats in one drink, I’m game.

These are by far the best high protein and healthy chocolate chip blondies that I have ever made – in fact, they are better than any healthy and high protein baked goods I have ever made. Yes, better than my brownies. Even better than my dark chocolate protein bites. They have a great buttery taste and are super

I realized when putting together the Thursday newsletter that I haven’t posted a recipe in a while. So I quickly whipped up these Dark Chocolate Protein Bites as a quick high protein snack. They only took 5 minutes to mix together and the best part is that there is no baking required! They remind me a bit

zucchini. It’s such a weird word isn’t it? It wasn’t until I started writing this post that I actually thought about it. I really love zucchinis. It’s such a mild vegetable that it can be used in almost anything. Zucchini Bread, zucchini noodles, zucchini brownies… tell me that those don’t look good. I dare you! Anyways, it was a

I have a confession to make. I LOVE pulled pork. Unfortunately, healthy pulled pork is a bit harder to come by. My husband I visit BBQ joints often (there’s quite a few good ones in San Luis Obispo!) and no fail, I opt for pulled pork. I’m sure looking back in my Instagram feed, you’ll

Whenever I eat at a Mexican restaurant, enchiladas always sound sooo good. I love the sauce, love love how the meat wrapped in tortilla is drenched in delicious cheesy and spicy sauce. What I don’t love however, are the calories and fat and carbs that comes along with it. High protein is where its at.

Growing up, my mom would always make us french toast on the weekends. We’d pile on the syrup and powdered sugar, making a sweet coating over the bread, absorbing the syrup, somehow sticking to our hands even if we were really careful using our utensils. This recipe isn’t like that. It’s still delicious, easy, and
