One thing that gets me through super busy days is an easy protein salad.

Watch my 5 min Video below on what exactly this is and how to easily make it happen.  Recipe and product info below video:)

Perfect for summer afternoons!  Pair 1.5 cup of this with 3 cups of salad (red bell pepper, kale and spinach) OR seed crackers (Mary Gone Crackers) or scoop up with large slices of bell pepper, celery sticks or lettuce wraps. Keep the bread out, even if it’s GF.  You’ll feel better without it:)

Each week I simply swap out the main protein source,  I keep the rest of the ingredients the same. This way we don’t get bored and our body’s stay super healthy with varied nutrients. See below for my core recipe, then pick one of 5 protein sources.

5 cans of canned chicken, canned salmon, or tuna (CLICK for info on wild planet = best brand of canned) OR 14 Hard Boiled eggs OR 2lbs cooked chicken breasts chopped.

• 8 stalks of celery thinly sliced
• 1 red onion, diced
• 2 tbsp of Primal Kitchen- spicy mayo CLICK for Info 
• 4 tbsp of goat milk yogurt – plain CLICK for Info 
• 2 tsp of mustard powder
• 2  tsp curry powder/ turmeric ** feel free to use “gomasio” OR pink himalayan sea salt & black pepper

open and drain canned meats/ fish OR Chop Hardboiled eggs OR Chop Turkey/ Chicken breast

Put into a large bowl. Add all above ingredients. Mix well. Place 1 cup mix in small containers.  Enjoy with options above (crackers, toasted seed muffins, cucumber, celery, salad mix)

Here’s why high quality cacao (unprocessed and unroasted chocolate) is amazing for you:

1. It keeps your immune system high and inflammation low-  This is due to the fact that cacao is packed with protein, fiber and antioxidants, low in sugar, sodium and cholesterol.

2. It helps keep your body lean and enhances cardio health-  Thanks to  high amounts of  iron and magnesium.

3. It helps you sleep better and burn body fat– The high magnesium content helps your body and brain relax. This gets your stress hormone (Cortisol) to drop. Once cortisol is down you can stop holding onto pesky body fat.

4. It keeps you calm and happy! Cacao is high in tryptophan, a powerful nutrient that is key to making serotonin, and Anandamine. These are “trigger mechanisms for endorphin release.” (Psychology Today 2018) Serotonin and endorphins are the feel good chemicals in our bodies that also help reduce anxiety.  CLICK HERE for info on chocolate and YOUR endocannabinoid system!

So what’s the big take away? Enjoy Cacao!  Just DO NOT add cow milk or sugar..

Why cow milk is NO Bueno! Cow milk has Casein A1. This is a high inflammatory protein. If you are focusing on your immune health, you have allergies, are overweight or have poor cardio health – Casein type 1 is bad for you.  You can enjoy other dairy products like – goat, sheep, buffalo, almond, coconut, oat, hemp & rice (no soy)   CLICK here for Dr. Gundry’s tips and info with A1 casein

1. Don’t buy/ enjoy any with added sugar–  The only sweetener that should touch your cacao is raw honey or date powder. When COW milk and sugar are added you get bad results. You will lower your immune system, gain body fat, suck wind and fight muscle growth.  Simply check the ingredients!

(Even coconut sugar is a no no with cacao. Non nutritive sweeteners (basically any sugar) DE- grade the quality and benefits of cacao)

1 serving size = 1 tbsp powdered or the size of both of your thumbs put together. I stick to this rule and enjoy great cacao daily.

Here’s my favorite chocolate recipe. I eat 3-5 of these balls a week.

Been snacking on carby, sugary stuff?  Stop, please.

We are STILL in a pandemic and this stuff will quickly wreck you. Both your immune system and mental health will take a hit. Your body urgently needs healthy fats.

If you’re craving sweet, have something with healthy fat in it. Like a high quality choc bar (CLICK HERE for “TAZA wicked dark” my go to fav bar)  + Here for why less cow dairy & best choc facts. A quick fix is 1 tbsp of almond butter with maybe some coconut flakes (unsweetened)  Scroll down for my VIDEO with my absolute best sweet snack that quells stress cravings and helps you sleep better. Scroll down for easy recipes!

There’s a simple fix!  “Fat Bombs” If the name throws you off try out “Awesome Balls”  These are small balls made of

• Healthy Fats– coconut oil, coconut flakes, avocado, ghee or grassfed butter   CLICK HERE for why coconut oil IS good for you (video + backed with hard science)
• Healthy Proteins–  Cacao powder or nibs, Nut or seed butter(almond, cashew, macademia, sunflower), Spirulina, meats
• Anti-Inflammatory spices/herbs– Turmeric, cinnamon, pink himalayan sea salt, nutmeg, black pepper, cardamom (you can go as far as mushroom powders, ashwaganda…)
• Raw Honey +/or Dates– The only nutritive sweeteners that will not increase sugar cravings

Let’s keep this simple. Directly below is your most basic recipe. 10 servings  (2×2 inch single balls )

• Cacao- 2 tbsp
• Coconut oil – 4 tbsp
• Raw Honey- 2 tbsp
• Raw Nut/seed butter – (I use almond) 1 tbsp
• Pink Himalayan sea salt – 2 tsp
• unsweetened coconut flakes , small 1/4 cup

Simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl. With very clean hands – form into small balls. ** it does help to let the mix sit in the fridge for about 30 mins, less messy to form balls with more solid coconut oil. Enjoy 1 immediately!  Put the rest in your fridge for up to 3 weeks (freeze for up to 5 months)
