ChocoAvo Pudding

Makes 10 servings. 1/4 cup each (super filling stuff!)

Ingredients:

8 med size ripe avocados
1/2 cup coconut milk
8 tablespoons unsweetened dark cocao powder

(I love holy Kakow Or Nativa.. Just look for only ingredient being “cacao” NOT Cocoa on the label)

6 tablespoons raw honey (taste to determine)
4 ounces of dark chocolate ** must say Cacao.. NOT Cocoa (72% or higher), melted

My fav is “Taza Chocolate- WICKED DARK”

4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
fresh mint for garnish
optional – sliced berries on top or layered is awesome!

Directions:

Remove avocados from the skin (and pit) and place in a food processor. Blend until combined and creamy.

Add in the milk, cocoa, honey, chocolate, vanilla and salt, blending until pureed, scraping down the sides when needed to combine. Taste and season/sweetened additionally if desired. Blend for a good 1 to 2 minutes until completely creamy.

Put in fridge for 24 hours before FOR best consistency . This is VERY filling stuff – about a 1/4 cup serving is great as a snack or dessert.

FREEZE this to last up to 5 mos! Just take it out for about 3-4 hours to defrost OR place in fridge overnight to defrost.

Why Avocado’s are awesome

Okay.. so you’re a pretty smart person, right?! You watch Ted Talks, listen to NPR and scroll through Huff Post:)

You get that avocado’s are healthy. But did you know that they totally help you burn fat, drop inches, keep you smart, stay full longer and help decrease anxiety?

They totally do ALL that

Wait, but you don’t want to eat too much, right?! I mean they have a lot of fat.

WELL, let’s clear that up for you. I’m gonna let you in on why I eat 1-2 avos a day and am staying at my lowest body fat ever + last check up at the doc with blood test, says I’m uber healthy on all my levels!

I’m gonna keep this quick and simple – Let’s go over exactly how much you can have – based on your daily activities. PLUS the big bullets on what avocados do for you, so you can impress your friends:)

(If you’re a nutrition nerd like me, or just super curious I put all the nitty gritty info on our green buddies at the end)

HOW MUCH AVOCADO YOU CAN EAT, to stay healthy and not get fat

1 whole large avocado/ day for the human that moves for 1.5 hour total per day.. that should most of us.

Nope this doesn’t have to be a gym full hour workout. This rule applies for anyone moving around lifting stuff!

This could be a bunch of 2×4’s as you build that new deck, the laundry basket and swiffer as you clean up your house. Or heck! even that football or softball as you play catch in the backyard. BUT this does not apply to you if you have your hiney in a seat all day.

What if you’re super active?

Go ahead and stick with 1.5 LARGE avocado. not the lil’ guys

What if you’re on your butt most of the day?

Stick with half a large avocado OR 1 small avocado..

Here’s why you should totally get this superfood in your daily life.

1. Chock full of essential Monounsaturated Fats.. MUFA’s = The good fats! Here’s why they’re great for you

Increase nutrient absorption = all those kale salads, chicken breasts and cauli rice you’re eating.. wouldn’t it be great if your body’s cells hoovered those nutrients right up so you got full faster, decreased work on your gutt, and actually used all that stuff way easier for all the stuff you NEED to do, like think and pick up stuff:)

Yup! that’s what happens when you literally take in the good stuffs from your foods way quicker and easily.. thank you MUFA’s!

Make you full faster. That’s cause MUFA’s increase Leptin.. Your “I’m full” hormone.

Hunger is the busy person’s enemy! You gotta get stuff done, you can’t be hangry and filling your time with looking for food or sitting and eating all day, right? slam some avo on that burger patty, turkey sausage, eggs or salad and you’ll gain an Additional 2 hours btwn meals.

Boosts Brain Health. All our hormones (chemical messengers) travel on pathways.. Synapses.

Think of healthy fats (avos) like fresh concrete on an old road. Now think of your hormones (messengers) as cars. Avos and other healthy fats keep that road smooth, free of potholes and cracks.. Now when you need to think a lot (exam, work mtg..) or react quickly to anything (game of catch, distracted driver in front of you) you’re gonna do it all faster and better – because you paved that road!

Boosts Gut Health– Did you know that your gut is literally your “second brain” Truth! That’s because your gut speaks to your brain via the vagus nerve. Don’t worry about these details (you can nerd out with me later in person on that) just know that healthy fats coat your digestive tract and keep you from feeling tired, bloated,gassy and crampy.
Make you Sleep Better – This is thanks to that Leptin hormone (same one that makes you full faster and keeps you full). With more Leptin – comes increased melatonin. That does not mean you will get sleepy when you eat avos.. Just sleep BETTER when you do get your ass to bed:)

You know what drops Leptin? (This is what you DON’T WANT to do)

CARBS, sugar, alcohol.. Just OPT OUT of that fruit smoothie or piece of toast at breakfast. Instead add 1 small Avocado to your smoothie.. take out some fruit AND take the toast away – add more avo to your plate!

OKAY – there’s a TON of Nutritional Bene’s – Here’s a couple links to them all

Dr. Mercola science and info on Huffington Post

Medical News Today Article

– But here’s the quick jist on nutrition

They pack

Fiber
• Potassium (more than twice the amount found in a banana)
• Vitamin E
• B-vitamins
• Folic acid
reduce risk of cancer
increase bone density
reduce anxiety and mood disorders
improve vision
help absorb vit D and calcium
Reduce Depression!

ONE small caveat- Avos are Omega 6 MUFA’s .. that means the more you eat- definitely increase your Omega 3’s

(fish, MCT oil, coconut products – milk, flakes, oil, walnuts, macademia’s, brazil nuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, hempseeds, flaxseed)

Baked Kale Game changers

Having high quality veg on hand is a HUUUGE game changer to keeping lean and healthy.

My most easy AND fav go to is baked kale. I make cook up about 3 heads every friday and it lasts me for a full week. The rreal GAME CHANGER is what I add to it.

Gomasio + Mustard Powder. These 2 components actually lower your risk of cancer, improve brain health + Kick up muscular endurance + strengthen yo’ bones!

Gomasio – asian condiment made up of sesame seeds and seaweed. Both of which are chock full of calcium and protein to kick up endurance and improve bone density!

Mustard Powder – WHEN added to greens and cruciferous veg it releases SULFORAFANE. This is a really cool compound naturally occurring in these veg that is literally anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory.

Do this: Preheat oven to 435 degree Farenheit

Take 3 heads of kale, De stem ( or rip open 3 bags from Trader Joes) Toss in a bowl with 3 tbsp Olive oil – Add:1.5 Tbsp Mustard Powder AND 2 tsp Seaweed Gomasio- massage with hands for 1 min – to break up and release the magic:)

Spread on baking sheets and cook for 4 mins. That’s it! Put it in a large bowl and save to reheat (stovetop only) for a super quick meal.

Just toss a simple protein on top.. sliced turkey, sausages, a couple eggs and you’ve got the best dinner or lunch you can get:)

VIDEO! Bulletproof your coffee in 1 min at home daily

Okay –

So, unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ve most likely heard of Bulletproof Coffee. This stuff is sprouting up all over – Juice Bars, Whole Foods there’s even Bulletproof cafes! At least here in Seattle.

So fitting! Not just cause we’re gaga over coffee.. also because we have a lot of hard working tech and software people.. People that need their brains firing at superhuman levels + not turning into a doughy mess while they are changing history daily. Guess what – Bulletproof does that for you.

I know this first hand – been enjoying it every day for the past 4 years.. In fact made a VID for you on how to make it at home 🙂

ALL you need is

2 ESPRESSO Pods (less water is better)
2 tbsp MCT Oil (I like NOW brand)
1 tbsp GHEE ( I love Fourth and Heart)
1 whisker to blend – I LOOOVE the BEAN ENVY CLICK HERE ($14 off Amazon)

MUST have OR use blender once espresso is poured on top of MCT and GHEE.

This is the ultimate game changer for high performing humans. It freakin’ better! The creator, Dave Asprey, is a Silicon Investor turned Bio Hacker (figure out how to naturally get humans to perform better) . He had to keep up with multi million deals daily + raising kids + not becoming a fat wreck.. which he was at one time, until he created Bulletproof. Necessity is truly the mother of invention!!

Bulletproof gets your body to burn fat, keeps you full for hours & makes you crush your workouts (Seriously!) Plus – it’s actually chock full of nutrients.

So If you’re into turning heads, getting promotions & feeling ‘effing awesome .. Listen up!

First – Here’s the nutritional benefits

1. Coffee Beans are chock full of amazing nutrients – specifically aiding physical and mental performance CLICK HERE for all that info

2. MCT oil – This is simply the best stuff taken out of Coconut Oil. That creamy white stuff you cook with.. yeah it’s got something seriously powerful hidden inside there. MCT – Medium Chain Triglycerides. This stuff is chock full of antioxidants and Omega 3’s. great for improving memory, daily optimal brain health + It gets you to burn some serious calories.

3. GHEE/ Clarified Butter- You can also use high quality grass fed butter. Difference is Ghee does not contain Casein, which many people’s bodies do not love. If you are lactose intolerant or just have a finicky gut– get bloated or gassy easily – opt for GHEE

Both have great nutritional benefits. This is because Grass Fed Butter OR Ghee are rich in

Conjugated Linoleic Acid– Great stuff made in cow’s bodies that we can tap into. It’s a fatty acid that lowers our risk of

Cancer & Osteoporosis. It also wards off asthma, increases insulin sensitivity (better blood sugar control) AND increases weight loss CLICK HERE for more info from top Docs on this

AND

Butryate . This is a super healthy fatty acid that actually helps us ward off mental deficiencies and mental illness + it’s a top anti-inflammatory. CLICK HERE for cool downloadable infographic on this

PLUS – Ghee and Grassfed butter are high in Vitamins D, E, K and Antioxidants !!

So if you wanna lean out, boost your brain power, stay full longer and totally boost your overall cellular health – You need to start tapping into this stuff.

I’ve been doing it for 4 years now every AM – and my blood pressure is amazing, Im able to stay full for 4 hours in the AM – soo needed as a busy early morning person, I’ve gotten my body fat down to 17% (totally owe it to bulletproof + 5 days a week Kettlebell practice.. and of course good sleep and tons of veg:)

But-my point is Bulletproof has been a freakin’ game changer for me- Go ahead TRY IT!

Follow my step by step Vid HERE. This is how I make it every AM

Just ABSOLUTELY – do not go cheap on this – reg coconut oil and butter will NOT do the job.. In fact it’ll give you the runs, bug your gut and possible make you gain weight – you wil definitely suck wind through your workout.

This is seriously no bueno! I hate it when I my face is puffy, my neck looks big and I’m wearing “flowy” shirts to make me feel better about my belly roll. Thanks a lot holiday cookies and extra glass of wine!

Anti Cold Smoothie

So… When you’re feeling that dull ache in your head and body, like you know you’re headed to sick town, there’s a couple things you can do right away (and every day for the few days) to head off that bug.

Get in more protein – aids in recovery and keeps you strong
Get in more greens – packs in the most vitamins and nutrients

This can be hard to pack in high quality protein and veg, especially with busy days. That’s why I engineered an awesome smoothie that packs a protein and green punch + a bunch of other anti- inflammatory/ immune boosting foods.

Check it out!

I do a full pitcher and pour them into 4 grab and go cups (I prefer – blender ball bottles).

Each day I just grab one and go!
