The Most Important Meal Of The Day
Hey everybody!
Today I am going to share with you my favorite breakfast for on the go!
Protein Shake Oatmeal
Chia Seeds 1 tablespoon
Oats 2/3 cup
Protein Powder 1 scoop (I’ve linked the one I use below)
Milk (Almond or 1%) 1 cup
In a small bowl or Tupperware, add your chia seeds and oats then mix together. Mix your protein powder with your choice of milk in a shaker bottle. When well mixed, pour your protein shake into the bowl containing the chia seeds and oats then stir together. Depending on the day, I sometimes only pour half of my protein shake into the oats and chia seeds then drink the rest later! Pretty easy!
Chia seeds are amazing for you and in my opinion have no taste. They are loaded with nutrients and antioxidants. They have many benefits from reducing inflammation to helping you to lose weight! They are super easy to add into your diet. I think that this recipe will help you to see that!
With this recipe, you can do one of two things. You can make this all at night and stick it in your fridge, then grab it in the morning when you are leaving. The other thing you can do is to eat it right after you make it. I like to bring mine not mixed together to work and eat it immediately after I finish mixing it together. I really don’t like mushy textures so I would rather eat them hard. I know I am weird!!

Delicious and Nutritious Rice Bowl
Hey Everybody!
Today’s meal is a delicious and nutritious rice bowl. This is one of my absolute favorite healthy recipes that I like to incorporate into my weekly meals.
If you are into meal prepping, this is also very good for several days as well.
The recipe below is for one serving so remember to adjust according to how many servings you are wanting to make.
1 cup 90% Lean Ground Turkey
½ cup Pinto or Black Beans
2/3 cup Jasmine Rice
1/3 cup Pico De Gallo
Depending on if I am prepping for the week or for one meal, I prepare this recipe differently.
Prepping: I cook the entire package of my ground turkey. I then cook enough rice proportionally to my cooked meat. I put these in a Tupperware along with my beans that are not heated up. I put my Pico de Gallo in another container so it will not be heated up with the others. I then heat these for about 1 minute and 30 seconds and stir. I check the temperature and if it is good, I add my Pico.
One Meal: If I am cooking this as one meal, I will measure each of the ingredients out and cook them. I then combine them all and eat them right after. (A trick with this is that I freeze the excess meat in freezer bags in the appropriate amount so I can easily thaw and make this meal again.)
I absolutely love that this recipe only has four ingredients. It makes it very easy to prepare and to shop for. I also love to use Salsa Queen’s Pico De Gallo, if you are in Utah it is a local brand and you can buy it at Smith’s.

The BEST Protein Shake
Hey guys!
Today I wanted to share my favorite protein shake recipe with you!
½ Cup Water
½ Cup Milk
12 Ice Cubes
2 Tablespoons Almond Butter
1 Scoop Protein Powder (our favorite is Muscle Pharm Cookies ‘N’ Cream)
Combine the above ingredients in a blender! Blend on smoothie mode and it’s ready to go! This makes enough for one serving! Adding a half of a banana is also an option. I cannot have bananas because I am allergic to them!
I made a quick video below of me making this recipe! I doubled it so that I would have enough for my husband and I!
Protein shakes are a very good way to get in your protein quickly after a workout! You should be getting some protein in about 30-60 minutes after your workout for the best results. Again, I am not a nutritionist, so you should not be replacing a meal with this, it is just to help increase your intake of protein.
I follow a Macro based diet, which means I try to eat 50% carbohydrates, 30% fats (healthy), and 20% protein. I will go into more detail in later posts about this. I have found that by getting my protein shake in. It helps me to keep my proteins up high enough.
I hope you love it! Let me know what you think below in the comments!!
