This stack of Pumpkin Cacao Protein Pancakes is like a giant plate of warm, fluffy, fall GOODNESS. You know how I said I am a chocolate enthusiast? Well, I am also a pancake enthusiast. Especially when they are protein pancakes made from clean ingredients! Not to mention - there are cacao nibs mixed in to the pancake batter for an extra kick of flavor. I am so obsessed with these and I have made them several times since I tested the recipe. They are so tasty and so easy to ma

Raise your hand if you LOVE chocolate. If you're not raising your hand - I don't believe you. Like I have said before, I firmly consider myself a chocolate enthusiast. Whenever I have a craving, it's usually for something sweet, rich, and chocolatey. But luckily: chocolate isn't all that bad - when you eat it the RIGHT way! Cacao powder, the purest form of chocolate you can eat, is LOADED with antioxidants, fiber, and is even a natural mood booster (no surprise there). But wa

It's that time of the year again. I swear September hits and my body goes: "Oh look it's fall now, time to get the seasonal head cold." Resting may be the most DIFFICULT part for me when I get sick so I aim to fuel it with foods that will keep my immune system strong. I made this Blueberry Vanilla Immunity Smoothie on my Instagram story yesterday with Hush Up & Hustle's Blender Bombs & it's the PERFECT combo of superfoods for an immunity boost.

I definitely consider myself a protein shake enthusiast. I also consider myself a cake batter enthusiast. Literally, give me ANYTHING cake batter flavored and I will be guaranteed to love it. Cake batter ice cream, cake batter cookies, cake batter itself - I have even tried cake batter flavored CHEWING GUM before. It may sound gross, but it was surprisingly pretty tasty. There's just something about the sweet, vanilla flavor that I find so delicious! The good news is, it is S

Yes, you did read the title right. HEALTHY DONUTS! This has been a heavily requested recipe - and not surprising, I mean who DOESN'T love donuts?! I made a Sweet Cinnamon Cake Protein Donut recipe awhile back and it was super popular, so I figured I would make a frosted chocolate version. Chocolate glazed donuts are my absolute favorite, but they can run around 340 calories and have 17 grams of sugar each. CLICK HERE TO VIEW: Sweet Cinnamon Cake Protein Donuts These healthy c

This morning's breakfast brought to you by: SWEET POTATOES. That's right. You might not guess it just by looking at this stack of chocolatey goodness, but they have a SECRET INGREDIENT. I went to my grocery store the other day and they had the BIGGEST sweet potatoes I had ever seen. I picked up a few only to get home and realize I bought way more than I could eat by themselves! I am a huge fan of protein pancakes, so I decided to get a little creative with my typical short st

I am SO EXCITED about these Healthy Blueberry Crumble Bars. Kind of because this was one of those recipes that happened by "accident" - spontaneous recipes are the best recipes. I went to my grocery store to pick up some fresh fruit and the blueberries were SO perfect! Like, imagine the plumpest, most vibrant, gigantic blueberries you can possibly think of - that's what was sitting on the shelves just waiting for me to buy. I love this time of the year when fresh berries come

Hello JUNE! I can hardly believe 2017 is already halfway over. June is one of my favorite months because the weather has finally made up its mind about what season it really is: summer! When I wake up in the mornings and it is warm outside, I always crave something cold. For me, eating a cold breakfast in the summer is a great way to refresh and wake myself up. That being said: time to say goodbye to warm oatmeal. I have actually always liked to eat my oats cold (like overnig
