Happy Friday!

Hi Mama, happy Friday!

Happy Passover & Easter to y’all!

Every two weeks when I write this email, I look back at my photos to see what I want to share with you. It’s SO fun to go back and look at my camera roll. If you haven’t done that recently, 12/10 recommend. I honestly forget about what happens each week, so going back and looking at the photos is a great reminder of all the things we did, even if it feels like I got nothing done.

I was so wrapped up in making sure everything was set for Charli’s first passport that I COMPLETELY FORGOT to check my own passport. It turns out it’s expired. So I am going to handle that this week and have to get a rush passport. Our next trip is in 2 weeks, so why wouldn’t I make it interesting?!

Today is the last day of the EQUIP Foods BOGO 40% off sale! This is the protein that I LOVE and use for smoothies, in my greek yogurt bowls, and bake with. I love this protein powder because it is an animal-based protein, but is also dairy-free, so a great option if you are avoiding dairy. I know, I said I mix this into greek yogurt but I limit the dairy that I have, and greek yogurt is one of the only dairy sources that I tolerate (if you want support with figuring that out for yourself, let me know and I’ll send you some resources!). The other thing I love about an animal-based protein is that it is also high in collagen, which is great for gut health.

If you’re like me and wait for the last minute to do anything, go ahead and check out EQUIP before the sale ends tonight!!

I made these cottage cheese protein cookies to have as a snack with the kids, and they came out really yummy! They’re a little fluffier than normal cookies, but still good and higher protein than regular cookies (the macros are about 5g protein, 8g carbs, 8g fat). If you use a low fat cottage cheese and a brown rice flour instead of almond flour, they’d be lower fat if you were looking for that, but these were super yummy this way! I used BPN Vegan protein for these cookies- I like to use that for baking because it is a closer consistency to flour than my Equip one, and I like to save that one for yogurt and smoothies with the babies.

Here’s the recipe if you want to try them!

In case you missed it, I moved the Moms Training Club back to an Instagram broadcast channel! If you aren’t in there yet, WYD?! You can join HERE 🫶 

See you in two weeks, same time same place.

Xoxo,
