Even though the holidays are over, ’tis the season for big mugs filled with warm, sweet drinks. My hot chocolate cravings have been through the roof, so I knew I had to alter the Swiss Miss tradition I loved as a child, into a healthier alternative. I’ve been loving using my Vitamix for drinks since…

CinnaBUN UNDONE Bites
When the new Tone It Up Cinnamon Roll protein came out, I knew I had to try and create a million delicious things with it. When I meal prep, I try to stay pack homemade fresh, snacks before grabbing pre-packaged goods like bars (unless I’m in a pinch!) Protein bites are the perfect solution for that….
Apple Pie Superfood Oats (GF)
As soon as the temperature starts to drop, my cravings for a warm porridge-like bowl go through the roof! Before learning about my oat allergy, oatmeal was my go-to comfort meal. With that said, it definitely left my tummy not-so-happy, so this recipe mixed in a ton of superfoods, seeds, and protein to thicken the consistency…
Pumpkin Chia Seed Pudding
This is one of my absolute favorite recipes for fall! I especially love chia seed pudding as a snack, or a quick, on-the-go breakfast that’s grain-free and delicious. Chia seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, and they provide fiber, iron, and calcium. My #protip is to always blend the…

My Version of Progress
It’s been a while since I’ve updated you all on my fitness and body journey. While it’s easy to follow through Instagram, it’s almost impossible to share my story at lengths in such a visual-centric platform. With that said, it has been almost two years since I started engaging with the Tone It Up community…
Finding Home
I cannot believe it’s been three years since I moved to Chicago. Four apartments, One World Series win, Three jobs and a dog, later…here I am, and I couldn’t be happier. My decision to move here in 2015 was definitely somewhat impulsive. At the time, I was living with my Mom in New Jersey, only…

Coffee Smoothie
Just so it lives on forever, I felt like I HAD to publish my go-to favorite breakfast on my blog. It’s been at least six months on repeat that I’ve had this coffee smoothie 2-3 times a week. It is SO good and I just love sharing it with you all. Coffee smoothies are my…
Bun Undone Burger
I must confess, I am obsessed. When I first attempted to recreate my paleo turkey meatballs into burgers, I had no idea how good they would be. Admittedly, I cannot stop making them…no shame ;). Before I truly learned about nutrition and started cooking on my own, we would head to our local grocer and pick…
