eat clean (+bonus recipe!)

Finally!! Spring time….the sun is out, the birds are chirping and the tank tops are out of the closet. It’s time to step up our diet and exercise routine a notch. And what better way to stay committed and motivated than the always-so-fun-bathing-suit-shopping. Diet is KEY with maintaining health, wellness and weight. You could be working out every second of the day, but without a balanced diet, you are sabotaging your own progress. It’s all about clean eating.

What exactly is clean eating? Clean eating is the idea of eating more fresh and whole foods, opposed to pre-packaged and processed foods. Hello lean protein and vegetables, goodbye fast food. Leaning more towards complex carbohydrates such as brown rice, over white flour. It’s also being committed to replacing saturated fats with healthy fats. Note that people who follow the clean eating lifestyle avoid dairy. It’s not about counting calories, but believing in good quality.

Yes I understand, Spring is filled with outdoor parties with fruity drinks and tasty treats. Don’t worry about temptation, when you can enjoy your own tasty recipes! Check out this one below for guilt free pancakes!

Guilt Free Pancakes
1/2 cup Organic Oats
1/4 cup Almond Milk
1 Large Egg White
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
1 Tbsp of Baking Powder
1/4 Cup Blueberries
In a medium bowl, mix oats with milk. let stand for 5 minutes. Add egg and oil and mix. Continue to add baking powder and blueberries. Pour onto nonstick skillet until golden brown. Flip and cook until desired. Makes 8 pancakes.

it’s…a…_____!

be our guest…or not.

Between the list in your iPhone, scribble on your desk calendar, post-it notes with names, emailed list from in-laws and the late night dreams of just how many people you’re actually ‘forgetting’ – the initial draft guest list can seem overwhelming…or down right scary! Lucky for you, I came across this chart while having my morning affair with Pinterest and I couldn’t help but share it. It is a quick and painless guide to who you really NEED to have make the final cut. Keep in mind – it is your day so if your neighbor, longtime friend or even dog groomer thinks they have a say in who ‘should’ be there, gently remind them that it isn’t up to them to ‘say yes’ to your guests!
