This is for all of the chocolate lovers out there. Not only is this smoothie decadent from the cacao nibs but it gives you the perfect crunch to satisfy your sweet tooth. Trust me, it’ll be one the whole family will enjoy! I try to keep my pantry and freezer stocked with smoothie essentials to fit my family’s cravings - from things like cacao nibs to a variety of protein powders, I like to be prepared. What I always recommend to my clients is to have protein powders with flavors they truly enjoy, which is why I suggest keeping a vanilla and chocolate protein on hand as they will influence your smoothie flavor but you can make so many different...
When the sweet tooth seems like it can’t be tamed, I know there are plenty of ways to satisfy it without spiking my blood sugar. For starters, I honor it. Craving sweet things is hardwired into us and restricting or swearing off sweets entirely can backfire and make the craving even stronger. I always tell my clients to replace before you remove, so if you want to reduce the amount of sweets you eat, find healthier options to replace the sugar-filled versions. Take cereal, for example. Cereal is a quick easy breakfast or late night snack, but conventional versions are filled with sugar and starting or ending my day with the inevitable blood sugar rollercoaster ride that follows is not...
I love starting my day with a super green smoothie and this Green Ginger Smoothie definitely fits the bill! Ginger is known for suppressing nausea, especially during morning sickness. It’s also thought to improve inflammatory conditions, play a role in blood sugar control, and support digestion - all benefits that fit nicely into the Fab 4 world! Speaking of blood sugar control, I’ve been so impressed with just how balancing my daily Fab 4 Smoothies are and I’ve been able to see that in action thanks to my continuous glucose monitor (CGM), Levels. Levels makes it so easy to track my blood sugar and see how the foods I eat impact my blood sugar in real time with their easy...
If you’re looking to up your fiber game, look no further than this fiber-packed Super Seed Fab 4 Smoothie! It’ll also give you a hefty, plant-based dose of protein and healthy fats to keep you satisfied for up to 6 hours! Nuts and seeds are a staple in my diet. As I mentioned, they provide protein, fat, and fiber so they make for a great addition to any meal. I also recommend them as a bridge snack and love nuts like pistachios that make you work a bit to get to the good part - that can slow you down and help keep your snacking in check. Whether your nut intake comes mostly from nut butters or you like a...
