Cold brew of my dreams 💭

My love for @rebbl runs deep, so when they shared that they were laughing a new Awake + Protein line I was PUMPED!

Awake+ offers three delicious NOOTROPIC coconut milk lattes with 10g of plant-powered protein and 200mg Lion’s Mane Mushroom extract, which is clinically proven to support cognitive function 🧠

It tastes like a caramel vanilla latte! 😋

Most people don’t know this… Pinterest is NOT

Most people don’t know this…

Pinterest is NOT social media! It’s actually a search engine (like google) 🤯

And the best part? It’s takes less than an hour of work each week to see results in your business.

✨ 450 million people are on Pinterest each MONTH and there’s no such thing as a popularity algorithm. Likes don’t matter over there!

✨ 85% of people say they go to Pinterest when starting a new project aka looking for guidance & support

✨ 97% of searches are unbranded which means Pinterest users are open to whoever would be that solution

✨ You are 7x more likely to influence people in their purchase journey than other social media platforms

This is exactly why I’ve been using Pinterest in my own business for the past several years.

Pinterest is my #1 driver of traffic to my website + how I’m able to spend LESS time online and more time enjoying my life 😊

I’m opening up 3 spots inside the Pinterest Lab for the month of April. This is a 1:1 coaching program that will teach you exactly how to…

✅ Develop your unique keyword strategy to get your content in front of the right people
✅ Create boards with optimized descriptions
✅ Create pins that stop the scroll (there’s a specific way to format them!)
✅ How to add your original content to work for your and get your offers in front of your ideal client (there is a strategy to this)

I’m walking you through everything step-by-step!

Click the link in my bio for more info or send me a DM with ‘PINTEREST LAB’ and I’ll send you the link!

Early bird pricing of $333 goes through this Friday. After that, the price increases to $444!

PEANUT BUTTER STUFFED DATES 🥜 🍫 The ultimate

PEANUT BUTTER STUFFED DATES 🥜 🍫 The ultimate sweet treat that tastes like a snickers but is refined sugar-free and full of fiber 👏🏻

Here’s what you’ll need:

Medjool dates, pitted
Peanut butter (any nut butter will work!)
@hukitchen chocolate gems

I like to store them in the freezer to make them extra chewy, but you can also keep them in the fridge if you prefer them a little softer!

And I didn’t even post about my offer on IG 🤯

And I didn’t even post about my offer on IG 🤯

Pinterest has completely changed my business, to put it bluntly.

I’ve been less interested in posting every single day on IG and more interested in soaking up these last few months we have living up at the cabin 🥲

I wanted a way to market my business + grow my audience without needing to be “on” 24/7.

Curious how I signed 2 private clients and grew my email subscribers by over 350 people this past week? Scroll to read more ➡️

IG is great for building connections + relationships, but Pinterest is a powerhouse for marketing.

98% of my clients find me through Pinterest.

If you’re still just using Pinterest to find your dream kitchen inspo or the best GF chocolate chip cookie recipe, your missing out on web traffic and clients.

To put it lightly, you’re leaving thousands of $$$ on the table 😱

REALITY CHECK: Do you have an offer that you’re currently selling? 🤔

SWEET POTATO CHOCOLATE MOUSSE 🍫🍠 I’m not

SWEET POTATO CHOCOLATE MOUSSE 🍫🍠

I’m not exaggerating when I say, this is easily my favorite dessert recipe right now. I was shocked when I made it the first time how perfectly creamy, sweet, and decadent this mousse is! And no, you can’t taste the sweet potatoes at ALL! 🙃

Save this recipe for Valentine’s Day! 💗

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup cooked sweet potato (skin removed)
1 cup full fat coconut milk or coconut cream
4 tbs cacao powder
3 tbs maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
Pinch of salt
A few squares of @hukitchen chocolate

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Bake sweet potatoes until soft to the touch. I find cutting them in half and baking at 425F for 40-50 minutes is perfect.
2. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until creamy.
3. Add to a glass jar or bowl and add a chopped up @hukitchen chocolate bar on top.
4. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours (but if you can’t wait, it still tastes phenomenal as is!)

It’s like Cocoa Puffs but better 🤤 Sometimes

It’s like Cocoa Puffs but better 🤤 Sometimes you just crave a bowl of cereal (I can’t be alone on this one), but frankly, I would never even think of buying traditional cereal because it’s like having a bowl of sugar for breakfast 😳

@magicspooncereal is a high-protein, zero sugar, gluten free cereal that takes you back to your childhood but without all the garbage ingredients! Each serving has 12-14 grams of protein 💪🏻

My favorite flavors are cocoa + peanut butter! And they’re even better mixed together 😋

MARBLE CHOCOLATE BARK {dairy-free} 🍫 I don’

MARBLE CHOCOLATE BARK {dairy-free} 🍫

I don’t know what it is about the marble swirls, but there just so satisfying 😍

This is an incredibly simple recipe and only requires two ingredients and comes together super quickly! I like to keep the bark in the fridge and enjoy it on its own or chop it up and serve it over ice cream 😋

INGREDIENTS:
1.5 cups of dark chocolate chips (I used @hukitchen chocolate gems)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (I used @pascha.chocolate)

This would make a fun Valentine’s Day dessert! I love getting Jonah some fun Valentine’s Day treats and chocolate bark is one of his fave + @simplygum has become his new go-to!

Adding this one thing to your business will comple

I like to call these “adult fruit snacks” 😋

I like to call these “adult fruit snacks” 😋 @simplygum Fruit Bites are made with real fruit (because we don’t do fake fruit around here) and natural pectin instead of gelatin!

Jonah is the biggest fan of fruit snacks and when he tried these, he said “I would eat these over fruit snacks any day.” 😏

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE 🍪 I’m such a

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE 🍪

I’m such a sucker for an extra chocolatey gooey cookie 🍪 And if you’re a peanut butter 🥜 fan, you’re in for a TREAT (pun intended 😉). I took my good old single serve chocolate chip cookie and made a few changes to make this the ultimate Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie 🍫

Plus, I added a @simplygum Triple Cacao Chocolate Date Bar for some extra chocolatey goodness! Simply bars are made with organic dates, organic dark chocolate, organic coconut, organic sugar, roasted almonds and sea salt 👌🏻

SAVE THIS POST FOR LATER‼️

• 4 tbs almond flour
• 1 tbs cacao powder
• 1 tbs peanut butter (or any nut butter)
• 1 tbs applesauce
• 1 tbs maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• @simplygum Triple Cacao Chocolate Date Bar (chopped)

Mix all ingredients together and bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes. I highly suggest eating it right out of the oven while the chocolate is still melty 🤤

If you make it, let me know how you like it! And don’t forget to snap a picture and tag me 😍

Is the cost worth it? All too often we spend life

Is the cost worth it?

All too often we spend life waiting for the “right time” or a sign that now is the right time.

Instead of waiting to do something you’ve always wanted to do, take the time to design and plan out your life. Write down the exact steps you need to take to get there.

Or better yet, the questions that are keeping you stuck, then go find someone who knows the answers.

You must move differently if you want different. One year from now, you can either have a year of progress or a year of excuses.

The choice is yours.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BANANA SMOOTHIE 🍫 🥜

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BANANA SMOOTHIE 🍫 🥜 🍌

If you’re an OG follower, you know I’ve had a longtime obsession with @rebbl ❤️ I’m a big functional mushroom gal and @rebbl is one of the first brands that turned me onto them!

Their Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana flavor recently launched and has 16g of plant-based protein (from organic peas), adaptogens like ashwaganda, macadamia root and reishi, immunity support from zinc and naturally occurring MCTs from coconut to support efficient metabolism + energy levels 💪🏻

I like sipping on @rebbl just by itself or I’ll add it to my smoothies for a boost!

SMOOTHIE INGREDIENTS:
1.5 frozen bananas
Handful of frozen zucchini
1 medjool date
1 tbs ground flax
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
4 oz @rebbl Protein Chocolate PB Banana
6 oz water

Add all ingredients to a blender and blender until smooth and creamy. I like to top my bowls with cacao nibs for extra crunch!

CHOCOLATE CAKE {GF + V}🍫🫶🏻 🍰 The fir

CHOCOLATE CAKE {GF + V}🍫🫶🏻 🍰

The first time I made this cake, I wasn’t expecting Jonah to love it because he’s not a big chocolate cake fan. He was so obsessed with it, he asked me to make it
AGAIN! He says it takes like milk chocolate rather than dark.

It’s perfectly moist, fluffy, tender, and extra chocolatey with the BEST chocolate frosting ever 🤤

CAKE INGREDIENTS:
1.5 gf oat flour (make your own by blending whole rolled oats until finely ground)
2/3 cups @navitasorganics cacao powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup + 2 Tbs water
1/2 cup plant-based milk
3 Tbs @chosenfoods avocado oil
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract

FROSTING INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup vegan butter (I used @miyokoscreamery)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2.5 - 3 cups powered sugar
3 tbs plant-based milk
2 tbs melted @hukitchen dark chocolate gems

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Whisk to combine.
3. Add all wet ingredients to the same bowl. Whisk thoroughly until completely smooth.
4. Pour batter into prepared cake pan. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release air bubbles.
5. Bake for 20-24 minutes. Test with a toothpick - it should come out clean when done.
6. Place pan on a cooling rack for 25 minutes.
7. Place a cooling rack or large plate upside down, on top of the cake pan. Flip the cake onto the rack or plate. Allow cake to cool completely before frosting (at least 1 hour).
8. Time to make the frosting! Beat butter and vanilla with an electric mixer high for a few minutes, until smooth and creamy.
9. Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar at a time and mix until super velvety smooth. Add a tbs of milk at a time as well.
10. Add the melted chocolate and best until smooth.
11. Frost the cake.
12. Finish the cake off with shredded @hukitchen chocolate bar. Simply use a cheese grater to shave the chocolate on top of the frosting.

ENJOY! 🍫 🍰
