Our Wedding: Part 1
After 6.5 wonderful years of dating (1.5 of which were our looong engagement), we’re finally Mr. and Mrs.!! Our wedding was a whirlwind of a day, but it was a lot of fun. The whole time it didn’t really feel like our wedding, to be honest. You go to so many weddings over your lifetime, and…

Whip up a batch of these coconut, almond, and date-filled protein bites for a tasty, healthy snack with some staying power. Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best ones.

Apple Nachos with Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and Coconut
Make dessert a little healthier by creating a sweet nacho-inspired dish out of apple slices. Top with chocolate, peanut butter, and coconut for a gourmet treat!

Vanilla, Almond & Date Smoothie
Create this thick and creamy smoothie by combining almonds, dates, and banana with the boost of vanilla protein powder for a snack or meal that will keep you full while also satisfying your sweet tooth.

Comin’ at you with an upper body and core workout today! I try to mix things up and try new exercises in my workouts every once in awhile, but you really can’t go wrong with the simplest ones (e.g. squats, situps, and pushups).
