Fiber

Feel better without depriving yourself. Simply increase your fiber intake daily! You will have more energy, poop better, lower cholesterol & lower your risk of heart attacks, strokes and dementia (caused by arterial plaques)

Oatmeal is one easy way I boost my fiber intake. I love this set up after a workout (or mid morning on a busy workday) to replenish muscle glycogen and to keep me full longer so I can get more done:)

Fiber. The body’s unsung hero

Research published in 2015 proved that a diet high in fiber reduces the chance of lung disease by 40-50%. So yes.. Fiber can literally help you sing more:)

Fiber also:

  • Reduces inflammation (lowers C-reactive Protein)
  • Balances hormones
  • Keeps you feeling full
  • Moves out toxins
  • Balances Blood Sugar
  • Reduces Cholesterol

I will add my favorite fiber foods & recipes through the next 2 months (Nov & Dec 2022) along with recipes and a guide on high fiber foods. For now shoot for at least 20g of fiber/ day.

Here’s a couple recipes to get you started:

Best Smoothie! Video with guide.

This is my favorite smoothie recipe!  Chris and I enjoy this 6 days a week.  I suggest pre-making these & setting up two in the fridge. Keep up with busy days, stay full longer, feel and work better.

Here’s what is in One serving

Put all in a blender, mix well and put in 3-4 vessels. Freeze 1-2 to make it last longer and take some work off you in upcoming busy days:)

PRO TIP!  Make this just twice a week. I make enough for 4 smoothies on Fridays (I just freeze the other 3)  I don’t have a smoothie on Sundays.

Then I make it again on Wednesdays for 3 days. This helps me stay on track better.

No time to make a smoothie? Just toss in 1 scoop bone broth with 1 scoop amazing grass to a blender bottle. Add in water when you’re ready, shake it up and chug it down. (This does not taste as good as the full blender smoothie)
