Anyone who knows me knows I love desserts and snacks :D Here’s a great protein packed snack that will fill you with energy and help you enjoy your weekends while sticking to your fat loss goals. It’s packaged in a tasty little muffin, which is fun and flavorful, while being filled with superb nutrition. Enjoy two as a single serving!! ​ 

A big part of eating for fat loss is keeping your metabolism going all day long with sensible meals and snacks. In theory, this is simple and easy: eat small-medium sized portions every few hours throughout the day. 

Unfortunately very few people do it right, resulting in frustrating weight gain. 

The content of your snacks and small meals is of utmost importance. If you’re eating the wrong thing every 2-3 hours then it’s easy to gain weight quickly, rather than what you want, which is to drop fat and look fitter. 

Let’s jump into the 3 Essential Snacking Tips that I have for you today to keep you on track and burning fat all day long… 

There are few things as smile-inducing in life as a chocolate chip cookie…in any form. The form we are enjoying today is that of cookie dough balls! These moist, yummy, cookie dough balls are the perfect quick energy snack to pop into your mouth in the middle of a busy afternoon. Just don’t be surprised when you find yourself smiling from ear to ear! 

What makes these cookie dough balls a healthy source of energy rather than a fattening treat? The ingredients that we are using, of course! Whole oats, natural peanut butter and high quality protein powder create a trifecta of wholesome, complex carbs, usable protein and satiating, good-for-you fat. Also important is the distinct lack of simple sugars that you’d find in traditional cookies. Enjoy! 

Looking for a healthy oatmeal muffins recipe? This recipe uses no flour, no sugar, and no oil but still produces moist delicious muffins - and Gluten-free if you use gluten free oats. 

If you’ve ever tasted packaged junk food (and who hasn’t) then you know just how addicting it can be. There’s a reason for this – the food companies actually formulate each bite for maximum craveability. This is done with a special tantalizing blend of sugar, fat and salt. 

But while junk food tastes pleasing…it’s detrimental to your fat loss results. 

Not sure what exactly classifies as junk food? You’re not alone, especially these days as many junk foods are being deceptively marketed and packaged as healthy choices. 

Have you ever wanted to take a bite into that heavenly slice of dessert, without that feeling of guilt hitting you right afterwards? Well dreams come true with my High-Protein Lemon-Blueberry Bites! Here’s how you make ‘em:

I'm back from 6 weeks away, so here I have for you a healthy treat that tastes just as good as a cheat meal! Did you ever think I would send you a recipe for cookies?! While it may seem crazy that your favorite fitness professional is sending you a cookie recipe, just wait until you see the ingredients. Let’s just say that there’s zero guilt in enjoying one of these wholesome chocolate chip cookies – preferably while it’s still warm out of the oven. 

Wondering what to do with local, organic fresh grown fruit? Let’s turn it into a guilt-free protein cobbler! 

Most cobbler recipes are laden with extra sugar and fattening crusts, but not this recipe. This uses peaches, but feel free to substitute with apples or pears. Traditional cobblers and pies are filled with fat and sugar – this recipe is much lighter, but will satisfy your sweet tooth just as well.
