Pre-Workout Loaded Rice Cake!

When I leveled up to lifting heavy weights, I sometimes used to find that I didn't have the energy that I needed to get through my workouts and finish strong. I started to make sure to eat a little something, maybe 30 minutes to an hour beforehand, and it has helped a ton!

I don't like being really full when I exercise, so this is a snack that I came up with that delivers protein and carbs, and even some fiber and healthy fat! This simple, loaded rice cake really helps keep me going during my lifts, it does not weigh me down or make me tired, and it's so yummy!

I make delicious and satisfying high protein, high fiber, low calorie meals!

When I hit my 50s and went into menopause, it felt like my body had been taken over by an alien! Despite cooking at home and eating whole, clean foods, I started gaining weight, felt exhausted all the time, and—let’s be honest—I was mad at everyone!

I found myself visiting doctors often, desperate to feel healthy again.

Everything changed when I discovered the power of prioritizing protein at every meal and lifting heavy weights to build muscle! I finally feel like myself again!

I make delicious and satisfying high protein, high fiber, low calorie meals that work if you are in a calorie deficit, looking for protein, trying to build and retain muscle or just want some inspiration in the kitchen for what to cook and eat!

I can’t wait for you to join me in my kitchen!
