Which one are you adding to your grocery cart? 5 i Which one are you adding to your grocery cart? 5 ingredients I add to my athletes’ shopping carts to fill in mineral and micronutrient gaps 🧡
You don’t need a pro contract to eat like you have one.
Training burns through minerals faster than most athletes replace them. These five close the gaps without a single supplement:
🌿 Watercress — vitamin K for bones, vitamin C to help you absorb iron
🫗 Blackstrap molasses — iron for working muscles, magnesium for cramps (make sure it’s blackstrap!)
🥜 Tahini — calcium, zinc, magnesium for bones, immunity, recovery
🧄 Black garlic — antioxidants that clean up training stress
🌱 Hemp seeds — magnesium, zinc, iron + omega-3s + complete protein
If any of these are new to you, start slow and listen to your body — they should make you feel good, not weird.
Save this for your next grocery run.

As I step into my 36 year of living today here are As I step into my 36 year of living today here are a few things that make me a human. Most of all I’m learning that I am enough just as I am and we are all here doing this life thing. It’s hard , it’s messy but I’m grateful for each new day that I can chase excellence and challenge. Cheers to the hard, the joy and what’s to come. I’m so open to whatever is in store and thank you for being apart of it. #laprivatechefs #lapersonalchefs #performancechef

To all the carrot cake lovers this is for you! I m To all the carrot cake lovers this is for you! I made these for my client last week and so many people asked in my stories for the recipe. Hope you enjoy! 

Note- I have not tried other protein powders so you may need more or less milk depending on moisture content. There are a few frosting options as well! 

Carrot cake Protein bars 

* 1/2 cup  nut butter (I recommend vanilla oat butter ) @oat.haus 
* ¼ cup maple syrup
* 2 cups oat flour @onedegreeorganics 
* ½ cup vanilla protein powder  @equipfoods (Chefdanielle) 
* 1 tablespoon cinnamon @burlapandbarrel 
* 1 tsp vanilla extract 
* 1/4 tsp allspice 
* 1/4 tsp ground ginger 
* ½ teaspoon nutmeg
* Pinch of salt 
* ½ cup freshly finely shredded carrots (not matchstick carrots, about 1 large carrot)
* 2 tbsp shredded coconut or raisins 
* 2-3 tablespoon milk, if needed

* In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oat butter, vanilla and maple syrup until smooth.

* To the same bowl, mix in oat flour, vanilla protein powder, spices and salt. Use a spoon mix until combined 

* Add the shredded carrots to the bowl and mix. If dough is dry add milk 1 tablespoon at a time. Mix with hands you want it to be cookie dough texture. Line loaf pan with parchment and press dough into the bottom. 


Frosting - few options 

* 3/4 cup raw cashews (soaked in hot water for 15 mins)
* 1/3 cup coconut cream 
* 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
* 3 tbsp maple syrup
* 1 scoop collagen powder 
* 1 tsp vanilla extract 
* pinch sea salt
* 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
* 1/4 tsp cinnamon 
* 2 tbsp toasted chopped walnuts - optional 

Add all of the ingredients to a high powered blender and blend until smooth. Taste & adjust flavors if needed. Spread on top of dough , top with walnuts if desired place in fridge for a couple hours. 

- can also just melt white chocolate 
- Mix softened creamed cheese with 1 scoop of collagen or vanilla protein powder 
- Mix Greek yogurt with protein powder and some white chocolate chips

Normally I don’t talk about this stuff but I’ve ho Normally I don’t talk about this stuff but I’ve honestly had it. Our bodies are an object to live life through . For those of you new here I’ve battled anorexia since I was 9 and been to treatment twice etc. something I will battle the rest of my life. My body has always been commented on but now that I’m the healthiest and strongest I have ever been Its starting to make me so annoyed. So please think before you speak because you never know what someone is/has gone through. That’s all thank you for reading my rant. #laprivatechefs #performancechef #strongbodystrongmind #edrecoveryjourney
