Paleo Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burgers

Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments.  In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun!  paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky

Mock Green Tea Frapp Protein Power Smoothie

I LOVE me a Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccino . I craved them like nobody's business when I was pregnant with Baby O. I still splurge on the real thing once or twice during the summer, but you know I would love to have them all. the. time! I am however trying to lose weight, so that's a no for me.

It's really, really good!  This Mock Green Tea Frapp Protein Power Smoothie is packed with great ingredients and has far fewer calories and sugar than the real thing.

30 Easy Prep and Pack Whole30 Lunch Recipes

The Whole30 Program is amazing. I highly recommend it. Every time I've done a Whole 30 I have felt AMAZING by the end. It's a very empowering experience. It is not however an easy one. Mostly because the food prep can take much more time if you're used to grab and go options. A little planning ahead and you can definitely make it through the 30 days. When it comes to Whole30 lunches, 3 things worked best for me: Quick and easy salads. Prepping food on Sunday. Cooking too much at dinner and eating leftovers for lunch the next day. I thought I'd share 30 of the awesome Whole30 lunch recipes I've found from my favorite bloggers (and a few from me!). I've included all three options I listed above. Some quick and easy salads, some to prep an entire recipe on the weekend and then portion them for lunches that week, and some to be cooked for dinner and the leftovers packed for lunch the next day. Play around and see what works best for you. This list

Purple Monster Protein Smoothie Recipe

Smoothies are such a tasty way to add protein and nutrients to your diet. I love adding berries, greens, whey protein, veggies, and whatever else I have on hand that will improve my daily nutrition. They're the perfect nutrition hack for my often crazy schedule lately.  I'm a total smoothie addict. I love them for breakfast, post-workout, snacks... smoothies, smoothies, smoothies! For the nutrition of course. I suppose it doesn't hurt that the way I make them they taste more like a dessert! This is my favorite protein smoothie recipe lately. There's just something about the Creamy Vanilla protein and berries together that is absolute perfection. I especially love it post workout, and it's really bright purple, which is fun. Hey, real food can be fun too. This Purple Monster Protein Smoothie is packed with protein and provides 2 of your daily fruit servings. It makes a great post-workout protein shake, dessert swap, or it can even serve as a protein-pa

Sweet Chocolate Mint Protein Shake Recipe

I've talked in the past about how I do better when I up my protein a little . It seems like my workouts and recovery go more smoothly and I just overall feel better. Upping my protein (and fat) and lowering my carbs also seems to help me feel more satisfied and keep my blood sugar stable, which of course helps in the long run with weight loss. Yet, somehow, I always wind up back at not eating enough protein. I'm finding that I really have to be mindful about it. So, I'm refocusing on upping my protein a bit and for me that means whey protein. In a shaker cup. In protein smoothies. In protein shakes. All the whey protein! It's just a quick and easy way I can add more protein to my diet with my already busy day. Plus, it's pretty tasty if you make it right! People ask me a lot which whey protein is best. Wild Foods recently sent me some of their products to try out and I'm pretty smitten with their Wild Whey. It's super clean and I really love the ta

To Track or Not to Track + Free Tracking Printable

Do you track? To track or not to track seems to be a popular question these days.  Studies have shown that people that keep a diet and fitness journal have better results. It's been observed time and again that people who simply write down what they eat and drink have greater success in weight loss than those who don't. Tracking appears to be an integral part of any successful weight loss plan. But why? Tracking can be quite enlightening. Simply writing down what we're already doing can cause many a light bulb moment. Tracking will shine a light on our eating and exercise habits. It's amazing how we think we eat and move and how we really eat and move can be completely different. Many people are amazed at the reality of their diet and exercise situation once they've simply started tracking their days ( myself included ).  Turns out we're terrible estimators. It's amazing how wildly different what we think 4 oz is and what 4 oz really is can

KETO Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes

I'm building quite the little collection of low carb pancake recipes! And, if I do say so myself, these Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes are a seriously tasty addition.  They are a quick and super easy breakfast option for your low carb diet. Whether you're getting bored on your  egg fast  or just a LCHF  or  keto  style eater these  are for you! With only 6  grams of carbs  for the ENTIRE RECIPE they'll fit nicely into your plan. This recipe makes 3 or 4 decent sized pancakes and comes in at  348 calories  according to my tracking in My Fitness Pal. I generally eat the whole thing and double the batch if hubby wants some too. It easily doubles or triples or quadruples...to feed however many you'd like.  I love to make a giant batch on Sunday and have them ready for the week. Just reheat in the microwave and go. Though, I personally kind of like these cold, straight from the fridge. They taste like little slices of cheesecake that way. Yes, yes, I know. If yo
