Fit Mommy - Lose the Baby Weight Recipe for Success

Good Morning Fit Mommies! =] I hope you guys had a great weekend. As soon as babies and kiddos enter your life it seems like life takes off at super speed and there's never enough time to get laundry done, get ready, pack the diaper bag AND eat! Here are a few of my favorite snacks for on-the-go that both you and the little ones will love. 

Mommy and Me Snacks: baked apple crisps, frozen Greek yogurt pops with agave nectar and Mommy's Trail Mix: whole-grain Cheerios, dried cranberries and sunflower seeds

PORTION CONRTOL - The Kid's Plate. Use a kid-sized plate to check your portion control. (Your meal should be 1/3 protein, 1/3 whole grain and 1/3 veggie.)

Lose the Baby Weight Checklist

Start your morning with protein and Omega 3s - you've all heard it before, breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Don't skip breakfast - you're body will go into starvation mode and start saving the fat! Always get fueled up for the day ahead! 

Three snacks a day - never let hunger build! - Veggies and Fruit are AWESOME snacks. 

Maintain portion control for your dinner      

Good luck! YOU CAN DO THIS!! 

No Equipment - CrossFit Work Out - 1 Week

Happy Sunday! =] I hope you all are having a great weekend. It's been a little over 5 months since Baby Lo was born and I've been somewhat bored with my routine lately.

Skinny Drinks // Power Shake Recipe

Shakes are great for getting all your nutrients on the go and great for those who have a hard time consuming veggies. Keep in mind your body needs lots of fuel if you're exercising and shakes shouldn't  necessarily  replace your meals.

1 Scoop of PEScience's Snicker Doodle Select Protein
500 ml Almond Milk or Coconut Milk

1/3 cup of frozen Spinach  (I promise you can't taste the Spinach!)

1 tbsp ground Flax Seed

1/2 cup frozen Berries

1 tsp ground Cinnamon

1 Banana

Mix all the ingredients together and enjoy!

The PE Science Snicker Doodle Protein is without a doubt MY FAVORITE! It doesn't have a chalky taste - it's great for cooking too. I use a TON of PE Science's products and I'm extremely impressed with the quality.
