This segment on on the Noon Show was packed with meal prep ideas for breakfast and loaded with protein! When you start your day with protein you’ll be more focused & your blood sugars will stay stable giving you the energy you need to crush your day!

Both of these recipes are found in reels posted this last month on my instagram if you’d like them. They’ll keep you full & start your day right every time! Prepping for breakfast makes it so much easier to not skip it!

HEALTHY GUT - Did you know one of the strongest predictors of gut health isn’t a supplement… it’s variety in your diet? 🌱

According to Dr. Rob Knight, creator of the American Gut Project, people who eat 30+ different plant foods per week have a more diverse and resilient gut microbiome than those eating fewer than 10.

So here’s your challenge this week 👇
Start tracking how many plants you eat each day.
Fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds—it all counts.

It’s not about being perfect… it’s about building diversity.

This is why I always say:
Eat the rainbow every day. 🌈

When we go back to real, whole foods—the foods God put here for us—our bodies respond.
Better digestion. Better energy. Better overall health.

So… who’s in? 🙋‍♀️

Tip #3: Upgrade your sugar

Sugar is one of the biggest contributors to inflammation—and it can be very addictive.

But if you know me, you know I still love a sweet treat here and there. The goal isn’t perfection… it’s making better choices more often.

As you start reducing sugar, something really interesting happens—your taste buds and microbiome begin to shift. You’ll crave less sugar, enjoy naturally sweet foods more, and feel satisfied with smaller amounts.

Start by upgrading your go-to sweeteners:
• Swap white granulated sugar for organic evaporated cane sugar
• Try lower glycemic options like coconut sugar, monk fruit, or allulose
• Use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup (just in moderation, since they still impact blood sugar)

These simple swaps can help support better energy, balanced blood sugar, and overall gut health.

Tip #2: Upgrade your oils

So many pantry staples are loaded with inflammatory oils—and most people don’t even realize it.

Oils like vegetable, canola, corn, and peanut oil are highly processed and can contribute to inflammation in the body.

Instead, start swapping in more supportive, whole-food fats:
• Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
• Avocado oil
• Virgin coconut oil

I also love cooking with ghee or tallow—both are traditional, stable fats that your body knows how to use.

Don’t be afraid of fat.
Healthy fats don’t make you fat—but the wrong fats can absolutely impact your health and waistline over time.

These small swaps can make a big difference in reducing inflammation and supporting your body at a cellular level.

Tip #1: Upgrade your flour

If you’re used to white flour, a simple first step is switching to an organic, unbleached flour. Conventional flours can be treated with chemicals like glyphosate, which may negatively impact your gut microbiome.

If you really want to take it a step further, start incorporating more whole grain flours. You can grind your own or buy them pre-ground from a health food store. Some of my favorites:
• Kamut
• Spelt
• Wheat (non-GMO & organic)

They add more nutrients and support better digestion while still tasting amazing.

If gluten isn’t sitting well with you (think bloating or gas after eating), you might try gluten-free options like:
• Almond or coconut flour
• Oat flour
• Or blends like Bob’s Red Mill or Cup 4 Cup

Your gut will often tell you what it needs—you just have to start listening.

Because this isn’t about perfection—it’s about small, sustainable changes that actually make a difference.

3 simple tips to eat more whole foods 🥕

Eating healthier doesn’t have to be complicated. A little prep makes it so much easier to follow through.

1. Keep a veggie tray ready 🥦
Slice up carrots, celery, broccoli, and grab some snap peas—store them in a tray in your fridge. This makes it easy to add veggies to quick meals like grilled cheese or quesadillas on busy nights.

2. Wash your fruit ahead of time 🍓
When fruit is washed and ready, you’re way more likely to eat it. Keep it visible and easy to grab for meals or snacks. (If you haven’t seen it, check out my “Berry Wash” reel!)

3. Batch cook your sweet potatoes 🍠
Bake a batch at 350° for about an hour and store in the fridge. Reheat for an easy side, stuff with BBQ chicken, or slice and air fry for a healthier fry option.

Healthy eating becomes easier when the right foods are ready to go.

Small habits = big impact ✨

Chocolate Chia Pudding 🍫✨

This has been one of my latest make-ahead snacks because it tastes like dessert but is packed with fiber, protein & healthy fats to keep you full and energized 🙌

Plus… chia seeds are amazing for digestion & gut health because they’re loaded with fiber that helps support a healthy microbiome 💛

Here’s what you need 👇
• ½ c. chia seeds
• 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
• 2 c. milk of choice
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Dash of sea salt or Redmond Real Salt

Simply whisk everything together in a quart jar or glass container, let it sit a few minutes, stir again several times (VERY important unless you want one giant chia blob 😂), then refrigerate once the seeds are pretty suspended. This make take 5-10 min.

My favorite ways to eat it:
✨ With granola for crunch
✨ Mixed with greek yogurt or kefir for extra protein & probiotics as breakfast
✨ Topped with berries
✨ Drizzled with my peanut butter + MCT oil drizzle 🤤

Healthy snacks & meals do NOT have to be boring. 🙌 This chocolate is filling & satisfying!

Don’t run out the door without breakfast. Get that metabolism going with these easy Overnight Oat Recipe! It’s a staple around here and satisfies that sweet tooth in the morning but won’t spike your blood sugar as much as yogurt because we add some extra protein and the bonus is adding more probiotics with kefir!

Overnight Chia Oats

In a quart jar, add:
1 ½ c. organic rolled oats
1 ½ c. organic milk
1 ½ c. whole fat greek yogurt
Dash of vanilla
2 Tbsp. chia seeds
2 Tbsp. maple syrup (optional)
I use protein powder to sweeten mine when I make it up in the morning.

Add all the ingredients into the quart jar and stir until everything is incorporated together well. You may have to mix it a couple times to make sure that the chia seeds don’t all float to the bottom. Don’t put in the fridge until everything is well suspended.

To assemble in the morning, put ½ c. to ž c. overnight oats into the bowl, then add Ÿ c. of kefir to the bowl. Add ½ scoop protein powder or enough to sweeten it just right. Stir until well combined and add more protein powder if you need it sweeter. Then top with some fresh berries & granola! Enjoy!

Tired of buying berries… only to watch them go to die in your RIP drawer? 😩🍓 Berries are too expensive to be letting them go bad before eating them!

This is the simple trick I do every week to keep them fresh and ready to eat:
✨ Fill a bowl with 8 cups water + 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
✨ Add berries (I like using a strainer for blueberries to keep them contained)
✨ Let soak for 5 minutes
✨ Rinse well + dry completely

The vinegar helps remove bacteria + mold spores so they last longer. Once dry, store in airtight containers — they’ll stay fresh for a week or more!

Healthy eating gets so much easier when food is washed, prepped, and ready to grab. The goal is to make eating healthy CONVENIENT! Once you’re in the habit of doing this it becomes so much easier! Stick with it! Your family will thank you (and so will your budget!)
