omggggg i didn’t really know what to call this...spiced pumpkin seed almond butter? it’s a mouthful but it works 🤷🏼‍♀️ it is SO GOOD and good for you not to mention incredibly simple. the recipe is on the blog go check it out and let me know your thoughts! it’s perfect for dipping chocolate (duh), having with apples, on toast, with smoothies, i’m obsessed!
i think it’s safe to say it’s officially fall in NYC 🍂 a new season means new produce on the shelves... at least it should. read up on how to eat with the seasons and connect with our roots. links in bio 🌱 📷 : @chickpea_mag
ok the suspense is over! i made this STUNNING matcha 🍵 on my stories yesterday and 100% of you said you wanted to see the final result & ingredient breakdown (duh!). 💫here it is: @matchaful matcha packet 1 tsp @fourthandheart vanilla bean ghee 1/2 of my leftover @sakaralife blue majik mylk 1/2 tsp @sunpotion ashwaganda this was the most delish matcha latte i’ve ever made even though it was slightly sacrilegious because i made it in my @thenutribullet and not with my whisk (still looking for it 🤦🏼‍♀️). regardless, it was amazing but i realize it was excessive. stick with me-the vanilla bean ghee is not at all necessary. it’s a bit of healthy fat and flavor, but you could just use coconut oil and vanilla extract for similar benefits. i also added ashwaganda because it’s a balancing adaptogen that i’ve really truly been consistently enjoying the benefits of for the past 2 years. the blue mylk is made with almond milk, wildflower honey and e3live which is a blue-green algae and the most nutrient dense food ounce for once that we can consume (blog post about this magic superfood to come)! so listen, i’m definitely not making this on a daily basis but it’s really fun to experiment. my recommendation would be to add in one fun bonus ingredient here and there if you’re interested in trying things out. maybe start with ashwaganda, it’s accessible and great jumping off point in the world of functional food. ⭐️i’m curious to know, what’s your favorite splurge item?
just a Thursday reminder that you’re 100% capable of crushing your goals. just break it down 🤷🏼‍♀️ whether it’s food, exercise, mindfulness, sleep, career or relationship goals- YOU GOT THIS! ⭐️did you know i have a free goal planner on my website to help you get there? links in bio to check it out 😊
“intuition” is a word we throw around a lot in the wellness space but what does it mean? what even is it? how do we access it? it sounds nice. being effortlessly connected to and trusting of your body certainly seems like the goal. but how are all of these people on instagram so in tune with themselves? how do they make it look so easy? well, here’s the deal they’re either a) lying or b) worked their asses off to get there. to be effortless requires effort, but we often need a bit of help and clarity to get there. maybe it’s serious introspection or maybe it’s through 1:1 health advising, but it’s achievable! i’m on the podcast “it’s not about you” with @byfeliciabaird taking about all of this; intuition, social media bullshit, imposter syndrome and how self-worth is plays into it all. give it a listen because i love the conversation we had. it was raw and honest. truthfully, i had just woken up and almost forgot we were recording so i spoke from an unfiltered place in my heart and i hope it resonates with you. 💕 the link is in my bio- i can’t wait to hear what you think. 📷 : @ryonophoto
i made dark chocolate pumpkin muffins 🍫🎃 & it’s a perfect grey saturday to bake them! they’re also vegan and have no refined sugar 🙌🏻 they were (past tense because i just ate the last one) the BEST consistency, super chewy and thick, but you’ll only love them if you’re a fan of rich, dark chocolate so comment below if that’s you and you NEED this recipe!

how STUNNING is @citywellnesscollective (and this is just the entryway). practitioners and facilitators, have you heard of this space? it’s a totally elevated co-working experience. having a sense of community when you’re an entrepreneur is so helpful and i’m totally someone who gets the most work done when i’m surrounded by other inspiring people. health is about your food and exercise but also about your career and community. so how do you thrive? • when do you do your best work? • where do you feel supported?
