 Omelet you in on a little secret....🤫 . See what I did there? Lol . But seriously, if you aren’t adding goat cheese to your egg dishes from time to time, you’re missing out! . It has such a creamy texture and a nice tangy flavor that just takes things up a notch. . For this omelet I sautéed mushrooms, onions, baby sweet peppers, summer squash and tomatoes (appx 1/3 cup of each) with avocado oil, a dash pink salt and black pepper, then set aside to make the omelet (2 whole eggs, 2/3 cup egg whites, basil and pepper). . After cooking the egg mixture in a large nonstick skillet, I put 1 Oz of Sharp cheddar cheese on top to melt, then the veggies on one half, then 1 Oz of goat cheese to finish it off. Fold over the other side of the omelet and voila! . It was the bomb diggity! . If you get a chance to try it, let me know! This one (massive) omelet fed my husband and I as well as our 4y/o, he loved it too! . . . . 🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽 #thebreakfastclub #omelettes #deliciousness #newrecipe #wonderfullyfitmom

 Let’s talk making healthy choices on the go.
If you’re in a position where you can’t eat a prepared meal such as for a work meeting or dinner engagement out, it’s more than possible to make good food choices that won’t leave you feeling bloated and lethargic. Oftentimes I will opt for a salad, then omit toppings that will add unhealthy carbs, sodium and fats. That includes croutons, cheeses and dressings. I will ask for them to be served on the side so I can control how much goes on. Also be sure to opt for lean protein such as grilled chicken or steak, places like Chipotle carry pork and chorizo as options but these are often heavy on fats. Things like pico de gallo can add tons of flavor without upping the carbs or fats too much as well, so it’s a great way to incorporate improved taste in the meal. Don’t forget, the My Fitness Pal app also allows you to search menus for healthy options based on the geolocation of the restaurant, so utilize that to help you make better choices before you order! #fridayvibes #lunchtime #eatingout #wonderfullyfit  Banana Chocolate Chip Protein Muffins All of you know that I can’t resist a new muffin recipe! A full bushel of ripe bananas provided just the opportunity for me to experiment with a family favorite, which turned out so delicious! I hope you enjoy this simple recipe, it was a total hit at the Pelly Household! First, preheat the oven to 350F and prep your muffin pan with liners or non-stick baking spray. Next in a large mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients: 3 large ripe bananas, mashed 1 whole egg 2 tbsp coconut oil 1tsp vanilla extract 1/3 cup Lakanto sweetener (this is a monkfruit sweetener that has no impact on blood sugar, great as a replacement for diabetics or those wanting to reduce sugars in their diet, it’s a 1:1 swap for regular sugar) 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk Blend the following dry ingredients together in a small bowl: 1 1/2 cups Kodiak Cakes protein pancake mix (buttermilk) 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup Level-1 Protein (I used Cinnamon Cookie Batter flavor) 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 cup Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well incorporated, careful not to over-mix!

Makes appx 18 muffins. 107 Calories each, 3.5g Fat 16g Carbs 6.1g Protein   The look you make when you’re totes excited about your protein coffee...💁🏽♀️
. JK, This is real mom life and I was telling my son “no” as he tried to grab a very fragile glass blown pumpkin off the counter 😂 . But seriously, drinking protein coffee is one of the highlights of my day, not just because it tastes amazing, but that it also helps my body to burn fat for the most hours of the day. . Before I understood how my body worked, I would eat 2-3 small meals a day and snacks that I thought were going to help me lose weight, like an apple and rice crackers with a little cheese. . I followed the “calories in, calories out” formula for years, and figured that as long as I ate like a bird and kept it fairly light I would lose weight. . The problem was I wasn’t losing body fat. I would drop initially, but would often gain it back with an extra pound...or five, and struggled to put on lean muscle. . The culprit? Not getting enough protein in my diet. . The thing is, our bodies need about 0.8-1.2 grams of protein per lean body pound to function optimally, and on a good day, most of us aren’t getting 1/2 of that requirement. . In addition, we “eat light”, omitting protein from our snacks which means a high carb/fat mini-meal that signals our body to store fat. . So how do you fix this problem? . Consuming lean protein every 2-3 hours during the day with each meal, whether from whole food sources or a quality whey protein shake or bar. . Since making this switch a little over a year ago, I’ve been able to build more lean muscle while burning off stubborn post-partum body fat. . To be honest, I feel stronger and healthier than when I was in my 20s with no kids...weird right? . At the end of the day, protein has been the major game changer for me, and so many of my clients as well. . If you struggle with getting enough protein in your diet, I would love to help find where you can incorporate more from quality sources to help you get the best results!
