My mission is to teach women of faith how to equip themselves with healthy habits, mindset skills, and efficient self-care practices so that they can walk in freedom and abundant life, show up as their best self in service of others, and are able to function at their highest capacity in order to fulfill the God-given purpose for their life! Stewarding our body well is important, but there is a bigger reason behind why than simply being healthy; it is a means to being more effective for God's kingdom.

Checking In

A lot of people see the new year as a chance at a fresh start, and as such, use it as an opportunity for positive change(s). I have really started to move away from an “all or nothing” approach. I now (generally) consider it to be a less effective method, and have abandoned it in favor of an approach of moderation and balance. Let me…

1 Minute Protein Breakfast Cake

Topped with berries An easy breakfast recipe that you can make quickly when needed in the morning. It also keeps well in the refrigerator, so you can even ahead of time if you want to. It tastes so good, it really qualifies for dessert, but its macros make it an ideal pre-workout breakfast! Topped with banana coins, PB2, and…

“Clutch” Banana Muffin Tops

I seriously cannot say enough about Clutch Bodyshop‘s Baking Mix! It’s a vegetarian/vegan friendly protein mix that you can use for waffles, pancakes, shakes, baking, raw recipes, and more. The taste is crazy good. It is naturally sweetened with stevia, so for those who prefer natural products, that’s another bonus. You’d never know from the way they…

Cottage Cheese Waldorf

So I’ve been MIA. We recently bought a house and are still in the move-in phase. Combine that with an hour commute each way to work, trying to maintain consistency with my workouts (before going to work), keeping on track with meal prep, and attempting some form of social life doesn’t leave a lot of time for blogging. I will do what…

Green Pancakes {High Protein}

I love that this recipe only requires a blender to prepare the batter! I am all about saving time when making meals. These pancakes are great to make ahead and freeze for a healthy breakfast on the run during the week. I often make a batch on weekends and pre-bag them into servings for for my husband to grab…

Valentine Superfood Truffles {AKA post-workout protein power balls}

Besides just tasting good(I enjoy eating!), I believe that most of what I eat should serve a purpose. This recipe satisfies my post-workout recovery needs, but can also pass as a stunning treat. With the ingredients used, these qualify as nutritional wonders that are decadent enough to be dessert. Perfect for a Valentine’s day treat! Because…

Double Chocolate Chunk Protein Brownies!

Once upon a time, there was a recipe. I decided to play around with it (go figure). It’s not that it wasn’t good; I was just inspired to take it in a different direction. Fast forward a bit. One idea led to another…and to multiple experiments. #Recipe rabbit trail. This is one of those recipe…

New Quest Bar Flavor!

Just a quick post to say that I am super excited…because…I was able to get a box of these bad boys yesterday! They technically don’t even go on sale until tomorrow! I can’t wait to try one! I am already brainstorming recipes…. Maybe more protein truffles… (Update! We now have these!!) Honestly, I am surprised…

WIAW #2 + recipe

Snow cone! So…no… that’s actually NOT part of my WIAW. Yes. That was a joke. Yes. I am a nerd. I live in Alabama…and we have snow. Which I am not so much used to. I am also not used to being confined indoors for this long except by choice. But, I get 3 PAID…

PB&J Sweet Potatoes (#StrangeButGood)

I am convinced that peanut butter and sweet potatoes were meant for each other! My hubby on the other hand… not so much. When I announced this, he gave me a look that I often get from others in reference to the foods I eat (#strangebutgood). Even if you don’t agree with me on the…
