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 daily morning coffee.

Bulletproof coffee is A great breakfast option for busy humans who want to stay on track with busy days. No need to worry about eating breakfast + you stay full for 3-4 hours.

** Caveat! If you have high cholesterol, take out the ghee or butter below. All human bodies are different, If you are not worried about your cholesterol than proceed with directions below AND listen to your own body. If you do bulletproof coffee for a few days and you don’t like how you feel, don’t do it. It’s not right for you.

Scroll down for step by step video + products to buy. Remember you do not have to do this, listen to your own body. If you need more breakfast choices feel free to email me @ bre@burnbrightercoaching.com

If you are a skeptic of coffee CLICK HERE for my super awesome guide to understanding coffee (If you’re adding ANY types of milk, cream or sweeteners you need to read this)

CLICK on any product name below for the Amazon product info/purchase link. (Quality is always paramount, don’t go cheap on what you put into your body)

FIRST you need is a Great Coffee or espresso maker. Here is the one I use from Nespresso Vertuo Line. Very good quality & just $148.99 You can do pour over or french press as well.

Pro – tip ! Go for “Espresso” ( not coffee) keeps your energy more stable – less caffeine crash. Also the darker the roast – the LESS caffeine there is. I go light for this reason:) Click here for more great coffee nutrition facts

Below is what you need to make Bulletproof coffee

2 ESPRESSO Pods (less water is better) NESPRESSO
1.5 tbsp MCT Oil (I like Sports Research or Bulletproof brand)
1/2 tbsp GHEE ( I love Fourth and Heart) or Bulletproof Brand GHEE (If you’re struggling with the butter/ ghee- use less- 1-2 tsp and increase slowly over the course of a month up to 1 tbsp)
1 battery powered whisk to blend – I like the BEAN ENVY CLICK HERE ($14 off Amazon)

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

concerns/ questions? connect with me: brebrighter@gmail.com

This is the ultimate game changer for high performing humans. Who came up with this? Bulletproof coffee is not a fad.

One rich dude from America simply picked up on what nomads in Tibet had been doing for centuries with Yak Butter Tea. Thank you Dave Asprey of Bulletproof.com Asprey used his wealth to spread the word and create knowledge and resource around bulletproof coffee. His discovery got him to stay out of the hospital + he lost over 100 lbs and skyrocketed his brain power. He is a gift to busy people who want to up their daily performance.

So WHY Bulletproof coffee?

See my links (here & below) for more science on Coffee, MCT oil and Ghee/ Butter

#1. Its the most simple and fast breakfast option that keeps you full for hours and keeps your body super healthy.

#2. Bulletproof is highly thermogenic (gets your body to burn body fat).

#3. It tastes delicious ( rich and creamy) + it keep your full for 3-5 hours. Hunger is the busy person’s nemesis

#4. It ramps up your mental focus and memory recall. If you need to have your brain firing on all cylinders, you need bulletproof!

#5- It’s chock full of nutritional benefits, SUCH AS:

1. Coffee Beans are chock full polyhenols, pantothenic acid, magnesium, potassium and more CLICK HERE for all that info + why coffee decreases a bunch of scary diseases.

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.CLICK HERE for more great info!

3. GHEE/ Clarified Butter OR Organic grassfed Butter- Both are great for us because of the presence of CLA – Conjugated Linoleic Acid and Butyrate. CLICK here to learn why both very healthy and how to make the best decision for yourself

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

If you’re really feeling sketched out by me recommending butter to you – I get that- CLICK here for an article with research from Dr. Mercola

So if you would love to

lean out, boost your brain power, stay full longer and totally boost your overall cellular health – You need to start making bulletproof coffee.

I’ve been doing it for 6 years now every AM – and my blood pressure is amazing, I’m able to stay full for 4 hours in the AM – soo needed as a busy person. No need to figure out breakfast!

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 will definitely suck wind through your workout.

Workouts
Healthy eating
Overall more healthy living- sleep, hydration, etc..

This is where we WANNA say ” It’s the holidays! Let go a little and enjoy” – right?!

Well, I don’t know about you – but I am sick of looking back at bad holiday photos.. you know the ones where you instantly look at yourself and think “Gross!” – Plus let’s face it – Do you really like feeling like you need a nap all the time and like you were poured into your pants?

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!

So to help us all out – (Me, included ) I set up four simple steps (PLUS my fav party healthy appetizer- It’s suuuper easy and quick to make) that make it freakin’ easy to feel great AND love the way you look in all the photos:)

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!
