Banana Cream Pie Protein Smoothie

When it comes to post-workout smoothies I'm looking for a good shot of protein, some clean carbs, and something I don't have to choke down. I'm also looking for something quick and easy. As a blogging, homeschooling, wanna-be-farmering mama ain't nobody got time for complicated post-workout nutrition. I'm lucky enough to sneak in a workout! I think I've come up with the perfect post-workout

KETO Cocktails: The Lemon Drop

I love a good glass of red wine now and then, I mean it's practically a health food, right? ;) But sometimes I just want a cocktail. I'm all for moderation and having a drink now and then, but I'm just not down with the calorie, carb, and sugar counts of some of my favorites. Seriously, have you ever looked them up? Eek.

Not sure, but somehow I had never tasted anything mango before I married my husband.  I also wasn't very into nutrition then either. Lots of junk food was consumed. Lots. I had a vague concept of healthy, but tended toward the

Built For Her Phase 1 (Renew) Recap

 I was provided a copy of Built for Her for review purposes. As always opinions are 100% honest and my own! If you follow me on Instagram you heard that I'm blogging through a new program. This year my focus is on being consistent and I didn't want to lose the momentum I gained from my streak at the beginning of the year. I was struggling a bit on my own though, and had completely plateaued
