Another incredible client transformation! PLANT POWER BABY! @lisawanner1 you should be SO proud of yourself for all your hard work and dedication day in and day out! Lisa was NOT plant-based prior to starting but wanted to see what it could potentially do for her overall health & wellness! ... Her vegan fit journey! I came across Claire’s Vegan Fit Program and I decided to take the plunge and try something new! What did I have to loose!?I am feeling better than I ever have, inside and out. Through Claire’s program I started working out more efficiently and followed her meal plan to nourish and transform my body. I am so shocked by the change in my body and my habits! WHO’S READY FOR THEIR VEGAN TRANSFORMATION Dm me for info!

I know times might be tough right now but just remember tough times don’t last, tough people do. A little throwback action. Itching to start hitting pads again! Anyone else?

How to Create a Perfect Vegan Lunch Bowl You know why I love bowls? Constructing them helps you to think a little harder about the constituents of your meal. And this is an invitation to think about balance, aboutobtaining an array ofnutrients on one plate. Having a balance of protein, fat, and carbs is essential for energy production, and they all play important roles in satiety and fullness after meals. ... Step 1: Pick Your Veggies Most of my bowl ingredients get piled over a small bed of dressed salad greens or steamed greens, but this isn’t always the case. Sometimes I’ve got leftover roasted zucchini or steamed green beans, or another vegetable that I served as a side dish the night before and had extra of. No matter the case I’ll use this bed of veggies as the base on which I pile everything else. Step 2: Pick Your Complex Carb I think about my complex carbs/starches as being the energy powerhouse of my meal, the ingredient that helps to keep the engines running. They will almost always feature sweet potato, whole grains, legumes, or some other starch. Here are some of my favorite choices: QuinoaRiceMilletSweet potatoBeans + lentils Step 3: Pick Your Protein A great vegan lunch bowl contains a great source of protein. Protein is also essential for tissue repair, for countless enzymatic reactions in the body, for healthy hair and nails, and for maintaining muscle and bone health. My favorite plant proteins for lunch bowls are: Cubed tofu or smoked tofu Marinated and baked tempehBeans, lentils or edamame beansQuinoaHemp seedsBig Mountain Food Crumbles Step 4: Pick a Healthy Fat Fat, just like the other two macronutrients, helps to keep us full. Here are some of my favorite plant-based sources of fat: Olive oil (as well as flax, hemp, and other nut/seed oils)Tahini and other nut or seed butter-based dressingsAvocadoHemp seedsCashew cheeses Step 5: Pick a Dressing or Sauce This is up to you - I like creating my own. My go-to is extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, and flax seed. What’s your fav bowl recipe?
