YOU GUYS, do you use BFF (Better Body Foods) Avocado oil?? Its unrefined, nothing added, all organic. SO PURE. You need to make this your new BFF! I use this oil literally on everything. All my salads with a little lemon, everything I bake, including the recipes I’m about to share, cookies, potatoes etc.. the list goes on. I posted HOW I BAKE MY VEGGIES with this oil, so check that out!
Onto the recipe, guys this recipe is SO beyond perfect to add to your Thanksgiving feast this week and it’s ridiculously easy, with only 4 ingredients! I made this for TJ and I a couple weeks ago, and we have it as a veggie side for dinner A LOT.
Wash and cut bottoms off of the brussels sprouts, then cut in half.
Place brussels sprouts in a larger bowl, Drizzle on avocado oil and coconut aminos, I honestly don’t measure, I just pour it on! Enough to cover all of the brussels sprouts evenly.
Place the mixture onto a pan and salt & pepper.
Once oven is heated, set them in the oven to cook for 20-25 mins.
When they looked soft and cooked, and a tiny bit crispy take them out. Put them back in the bowl and crumble 2oz of the cranberry goat cheese on.
Then dish up and enjoy!
I’d love to know who make these for Thanksgiving! Please share if you do, and tag me & I’ll repost!
Now that I’ve hit 17 weeks, I think I’m onto back to eating normal & healthy. I quit dairy again and its helped so much with my zit problem, so I’m off the ramen train! I wanted to quickly share the things I’ve been eating during pregnancy. Everyday is a little different. I eat a lot and now that I’m working out, I need EVEN MORE. So I’m just going to walk through my day with you and give you some easy recipes to quickly throw together that are healthy for you and the baby!
First things first, I have a cup of coffee and froth my almond milk, sweet leaf peppermint sweet drops, cinnamon and a little peppermint mocha creamer. Normally I just have that and I’m off to the gym, but I can’t work out on an empty stomach during pregnancy. I’ll either eat a piece of toast with grassfed butter, or 1/2 cup oatmeal with peanut butter or nuts, and raspberries.
When I get home from the gym I’ll do my celery juice, I blend with the Blendtec & do 1-1/2 cup waters, 7 celery stalks and then strain it. Then I’ll eat my official breakfast.
Ginger berry smoothie with 3 eggs and 2 yolks with 1/3 avocado!
Blend 1 cup water, handful of spinach, sliver of ginger, 1 cup frozen berries (I get mine at costco) & thats it! Super simple. I like to keep everything I make very easy, but healthy.
SNACK
So after I usually wait at least 2 hours before eating the next thing, but it just really depends. Sometimes I’m onto the next thing an hour later. But in this case it was 2 hours later.
PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL
1/2 cup gluten free oats
1/2 cup water or more
warm up for 1 min
add in 1 tbsp peanut butter and mix around
Top with raspberries
LUNCH
QUINOA EGG BOWL
I prep my quinoa every week, so I’ll do it for TJ and I for the whole week. I’ll make 2 cups with 4 cups chicken broth and cook in my Aroma Pot. That way I can throw in bowls very quickly all week long. Here is the recipe.
3 eggs, 1 yolk (over easy or how you prefer) & 1/3 avocado
DIRECTIONS
Heat up oil, and add onions. Cook until translucent on high.
Add veggies and reduce heat to medium. Sautee then cover for a couple minutes, coming back to stir again. Do this until the veggies are cooked through.
Add your cooked quinoa, then add soy sauce and let the quinoa heat up for a couple minutes. Mix around and dish!
Top with your eggs and avocado!
Let me know if you have any questions! The whole purpose to share this post was to show you what kinds of things I’m eating now that I feel better and ready to eat all the good stuff. All of these recipes have killed my heartburn and acid reflux! I’m happy to report I have none! So hopefully this will give you an idea of what foods to help you with heartburn and just overall feeling better. I avoid dairy for the most part because thats what I noticed makes my acid reflux worse.
