Speaking of smoothies, I share my fav protein on my stories today and said I would share the recipe and I thought I would just post it here so you can refer back to it whenever you need. The good thing about the protein I take is it really is a full meal replacement just on it’s own… you don’t need to add anything to it to make it a full meal. Now, I am going to be honest it is just okay tasting if you just mix it with a milk of your choice, but if you add just two ingredients I promise it is SOO good! Oh my it is seriously do die for!  This protein powder has 24 grams of protein in a single serving which according to Lee, is very good. In fact, he did his calculations on this nutritional facts and he was very impressed! He has informed me he will be switching to this protein once he finishes his MASSIVE container he got from Costco lol. He said the macros ingredients are very good. To be honest I don’t know a whole lot about that but the way he explained it to me is you should have 2 to 1 protein vs carbs or more. So basically you should have twice as much protein as you do carbs in a protein supplement and this does… it actually has more than double.

Last, the coffee flavoured protein is ELITE…the coffee flavoured protein blended with milk and lots of ice, I it tastes like a frap! Such a good little afternoon treat!

Okay, I am going to share two recipes. They’re both super quick and delicious but the one only has 3 ingredients which is right up my alley! The other has a few more if you’re looking to switch it up or add some more healthy fats in there!

Funky Monkey Smoothie (My fav)

1/2 banana
1 heaping scoop natural peanut butter
About half a cup of your milk of choice (I use Almond)
Scoop of Chocolate Meal Replacement Shake (24 grams of protein!)
ICE- don’t skip the ice!

Blend it up and enjoy…. seriously so good!

Berry Chocolate Smoothie (Lee’s Fav)
1/2 cup frozen berries from Costco
Scoop of peanut butter
Milk of choice (he uses almond)
1/4 egg whites
Handful of spinach
ICE- again don’t skip the ice!!

Blend and enjoy!!

Yes, this is where you will find the mini egg cheesecake recipe you’ve all been asking for… actually, here it is. You have waited long enough! 100/10 make this. It takes almost a full 24 hours so prepare yourself for that but when I say it’s worth it, I mean it.

Okay, let’s recap the week. It was Easter weekend which means this week consisted of tonnes of overeating, leftovers and catch up from taking Friday and Monday off… yes we took both days, the perks of both being entrepreneurs. Speaking of being an entrepreneur, I’m sure you’ve heard but I am back at work!! Well, I guess I’ve technically been back at work with TMS for quite some time, but I took 6 months off from Shop Teach but I am back and it feels good(ish).  I say ish because if I am being totally transparent, it does still feel a little soon. Although Halo is 6 months and I took WAY longer than I anticipated. I still feel a little sense of guilt for having to go back to work. Of course, most of the work hours will be when she is napping or sleeping at night, but there will be times where she will have to be with Lee or our parents so I can work.  It also means my brain is going a mile a minute with what all needs to get done and that means I am not fully present with her all the time and that makes me feel like a bad mom. I KNOW how fast this time goes. I’ve seen it with Dane… one minute he’s 4 pounds swimming in preemie clothes and the next he’s yelling at me from the basement asking me to come hit bombs (home runs) with him lol.  But, such is the life I choose, that is one of being my own boss, which can be challenging but of course, also comes with perks. All that being said, I hope you love this drop as much as I do! I hope you will take some time to look and see if anything catches your eye! To those who have messaged, commented, or sent an encouraging DM, thank you so much for the support, it truly means the world to me!

What I cooked /ate:

The Mini Egg cheesecake which I already shared the recipe for but if you missed it, here it is again! Other than that I really haven’t cooked a lot! My mom sent us home with a tonne of leftovers from Easter dinner (jackpot), my Inspired Go salads have been getting me through lunches, by the way if you’re on the fence about trying these, do it, they’re unreal. We made a couple pizzas using the shells they sell at the Italian Star Deli. I believe they bring in from Solo Italia in Ogema. If you haven’t tried these go to Italian Star Deli and grab some- they freeze beautifully and make the best pizza! We always have a few in the freezer for quick dinners.

What I’m loving:
Okay, this is random but the Honolulu Cookie Company now sells mini bites at Coscto… you MUST get them but prepare yourself, you will eat the entire bag in less than a week they’re that good. If you haven’t had Honolulu Cookie Company cookies, they are a Hawaiian delicacy- shortbread cookies that are to die for!

What I Wore:

This week I wore a whole lot of Shop Teach because the drop is happening TODAY! You can shop it here! If you happen to snag a few of the pieces and need some style inspo look no further!

Joggers are Shop Teach we have a few sizes available, I’ll link them here!

Have a great week, besties!

This past week has been a busy and exciting! Halo started solids which is absolutely WILD to me! It legitimately feels like she was born two months ago and yet here we are, eating avocado! We are doing baby lead weaning with her, we did the same with Dane, and I really enjoyed the process.  I know there are some parents out there who don’t particularly love this stage but I really do. I welcome the mess and throwing food!

What I Cooked/Ate:

I made a few new recipes this week and they were all really great and would definitely make them again. I have always really loved Hello Fresh and although I haven’t ordered them in a while (I’m thinking of doing it again) I do often pull up their recipes and make them at home. I happened to have all the ingredients for this gnocchi recipe (don’t you love when that happens) and so I threw it together and let me tell you it was SO good and it took 15 minutes. The longest part was frying the Italian sausage.  I will be adding this to my rotation for sure. I also had some asparagus that I found in the back of my fridge that was looking at little haggard, refusing to throw it out, I hit up Pinterest to find a cream of asparagus soup recipe. Typically when it comes to soup I just throw stuff together and very rarely follow a recipe but I haven’t made asparagus in a long time so I needed a little refresher. I ended up finding this one, a super basic/ easy recipe that turned out incredibly delicious… I bought asparagus again and will be making it again next week!  I also got to try Inspired Go this week! I have been wanting to try it forever but just never have. My sister was heading out of town and had one left that she didn’t want to go bad so she gave it to me. It was the chopped salad and well, I have since placed a large order for next week! It was so good, I’m hooked!

What I’m loving;

Nerd Gummy Clusters… I am addicted. I can’t stop with them they are my guilty pleasure these days.  They’re hard to come by but you can get sometimes find them at Walmart and London Drugs. I’m also loving my Joe Fresh platform rain boots they have been so perfect for heading out with Dane.

What I Wore:

Tee is coming soon to Shop Teach…

Have a great week babes!
