High Protein + High Fiber Chocolate Pudding

Looking for a chocolate dessert free from refined sugar and starches? This delicious healthy chocolate pudding is easy to make and high in protein and fiber! Looking for a healthy chocolate pudding with no refined sugar and starches? Look no further than this High Protein Chocolate Pudding! This easy recipe for healthy chocolate pudding started out with me experimenting with one of my new favorite dairy products out there. I ordered raw and grass-fed cottage cheese from a local farm and it’s the best cottage cheese I’ve ever had. It eventually inspired the creation of this super-healthy high protein chocolate pudding recipe. I used most of the cottage cheese to make a lasagna (I use it in place of ricotta because it has a higher protein content). But I still had a ton leftover. So, I thought it would be interesting to make a protein packed, high fiber chocolate pudding with…

This easy gluten-free pea, chicken and mushroom pasta is the perfect springtime dinner! Bursting with healthy fresh spring produce and herbs, it’s creamy and delicious. I love spring!

It’s light out after 6 pm. My sons are taking off their jackets and refusing to put them back on. Spring is in the air! Best of all – spring produce is popping up at the farmers market! My market is bursting with fresh herbs, mushrooms, peas, asparagus – you name it. So I came up with a delicious gluten-free chicken and mushroom pasta.…

It works from the inside out to keep you and your skin happy, smoothie, wrinkle-free and healthy! When I was pregnant, I was terrified of getting stretch marks like my mom. While there is nothing wrong with stretch marks and most women have them to dome degree, I was afraid of getting them. You see, my mom had the worst stretch marks from pregnancy. To this day, I’ve never seen anyone with worse stretch marks. They were long, thick, discolored and covered her from her belly button all the way around to her spine. She talked about how much she hated them constantly, and worse, how much she hated what pregnancy did to her body. So when we were thinking of getting pregnant,…

Paleo Steak Tacos

I eat tacos at least twice a week. These paleo steak  tacos are one of my faves and it’s one I keep on repeat. At least a few times a week my husband will come home and say “What’s for dinner? Is it f*cking tacos again?!” Don’t worry – he’s just kidding. He loves tacos, even though he makes fun of the amount I consume. Do you guys remember a few years ago when the taco diet was a thing? People were losing weight just eating tacos from Taco Bell of all places? TACO BELL. GRADE D MEAT. Meat that’s mostly made up of soy. Total garbage. But I thought to myself, this is a diet I can get on board with. Tacos all day? Sign me up! I’m not sure how tacos originally got the reputation as being a less than healthy food, but they’re actually quite nutritious, especially…

Wrinkle Reducing Berry Smoothie

Despite the title, no, this is not a smoothie for your face. Although that doesn’t sound like a bad idea. I’ll have to try that. This smoothie actually works from the inside out to help reduce and even prevent wrinkles. Wondering how? COLLAGEN. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body.

This is why we see more wrinkles, brittle bones, arthritis and less lustrous hair with age. One reason for both cellulite and stretch marks is a breakdown in connective tissue. Collagen helps our skin remain firm and elastic. Collagen helps the skin retain structural integrity. Remember that collagen is a protein, a protein that helps form the connective tissue of the skin. If it’s lacking or damaged, this will result in wrinkles (as well…
