Post-Workout Breakfast: Eggs with Kale

by Arielle J on August 7, 2014

For a post-workout breakfast,
your body needs certain high protein and
low carbohydrate foods,
like eggs with kale, colorful veggies and
crackers, to help your muscles recover and
refuel you.

At my event with Sweaty Betty,
I explained that it’s a very important meal
because you don’t want to “reverse” the effects of your workout
with a high caloric meal and something tough to digest.
You also want to choose healthy options
that will keep your endurance and strength up for
your next workout.

What you need to eat after you workout is specific to your own body
and bio-individuality. What you should eat post-workout is also dependent
on the type of workout your doing (a spinning class vs. a light yoga class)
and where you’re working out (in an air conditioned room vs. outside in the heat).

In general, the best post-workout meal
is high in protein and low carbohydrates.

See below for one of my favorite post-workout breakfasts:

Post-Workout Breakfast: Eggs with Kale, Zucchini,
Tomatoes, Organic Goat Cheese and Crackers
What You Need:
– 2 organic, pasture-raised eggs
– 1/2 tsp coconut oil or a few sprays avocado oil
– 1/4 cup sweet white onions, chopped
– 1-2 kale stems, chopped
– 1/2 zucchini, sliced
– yellow tomatoes, sliced
– 1 serving of Marys Gone Crackers Black Pepper (about 16 crackers)
– 1/2 tsp organic goat cheese (optional)
– dash real salt
– dash simply organic black pepper

Directions:
– scramble eggs in a bowl
– add onions, zucchini, kale stems and tomatoes to pan with a little oil and cook on medium heat until oninos are glassy
– add scrambled eggs to pan with veggies and cook for a few minutes until eggs are cooked and not wet
– add some goat cheese on top and let it melt a little
– sprinkle some sea salt and pepper on top
voila!

My Vision Board Manifestion

by Arielle J on July 31, 2014

I manifested something TOTALLY amazing!

This year, I posted up a few images of magazines that I wanted to be featured in.

Well, my dreams came true – I not only was featured in a few magazines, I’m the host in a new cooking series for one of my favorite magazines!

Tomorrow, it launches…and it’s with one of the magazines I originally
pinned up on my vision board.

More about vision boards and how to make one yourself:

WHAT:

Every year, I create a new vision board –
a display of colorful and inspirational images, words, photos and graphics
that resonate with me, uplift me and help me envision what I want my life to be.

I POST UP: images of healthy relationships that I want in my life,
tickets from events that I loved attending and tickets to concerts I want to attend,
inspiring cards from clients to continue to inspire me, photos of people that I want to meet,
images of the type of family I want to create with my husband,
words that remind me to be bold and believe in myself,
images of women loving their bodies and images of success, happiness and positivity.

MY INSPIRATION: I originally learned about vision boards in one of my first lectures with Gabrielle Bernstein.
I’ve always loved putting together collages, so this was a fun project for me.
Also, the question “where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?”
is totally torture for me. I can’t answer it words, but I CAN answer
how I want my life it look like in the form of photos!

WHERE: I strategically place the vision board on the wall right across from my side
of the bed, so it’s the last thing I see before the lights go out,
and its the first thing I see when I take off my eye mask in the morning.

WHY: When you go to sleep seeing colorful, beautiful, inspirational dreamy images
and you wake up with these amazing images, you end up living a dreamy, proactive,
inspiring life.

And, well, the things you post up may even manifest in your own life!

TRY IT! So go ahead and grab some magazines that are sitting in your bathroom,
cut them up and post them up! Tag me on instagram so I can see your vision board creation.

P.S. It’s really fun creating vision boards with
friends, family and colleagues!

I’ve had some vision board “parties” where I’ve invited my friends over and
told them to BYOMS (bring your own magazine and scissors!) and we’ve made vision boards together!

Sign up for my newsletter here to get a sneak peek at the first episode of my cooking series with one of my fave magazine.

be inspiring. be dreamy. be well.

The Best Post-Workout Foods

by Arielle J on July 24, 2014

I believe that the best types of post-workout foods are those high in protein (approx 65%) and good quality carbohydrates (approx 35%)

Why? Good quality protein helps replenish and recover muscles from the strain of the workout and curbs hunger without weighing you down, while good quality carbohydrates help re-fuel your body to ensure quick recovery. When you workout, glycogen is depleted so if not replaced by good quality carbohydrates and energizing foods, your body may begin to break down muscle tissue.

After you workout, you want to put foods into your body that your body will love you for eating so be conscious not only how much you’re eating and what types of foods you’re eating, but the quality of the protein and carbohydrates you’re putting into your body, as well.

If you want a fit, sexy, strong and healthy body, these are some of the best post-workout foods:

Chickpeas – are complex carbohydrates so they give you sustained energy, less cravings and better moods. Eat them straight out of the box/can as a post-workout snack, roast them in the oven and top onto salads, or blend them up with a little garlic and olive oil and make some fresh, home-made hummus. Just make sure to soak them before you eat them for better digestibility.
Lentils – high in protein which helps muscles recover, potassium which helps regulate blood pressure and magnesium which aids in muscle contraction and relieves you from cramping and chronic pain.
Tempeh – tempeh is made from soybeans, and its fermented so its less processed and easier to digest than processed soy, like tofu. High in protein and fiber, so it’s the perfect post-workout ingredient. Sautee with some coconut oil and add vegetable and soba noodles or slice up and add to some eggs.
Salmon –
Hemp seeds – high in fiber and protein to keep you full longer, therefore help to reduce sugar cravings and help your muscles recover
Coconut water – rich in potassium and electrolytes to help balance your bodies pH, maintain fluid and help muscles function
Coconut oil – anti-inflammatory AND your liver metabolizes the fat as energy, so it will help your muscles recover and energize you post-workout too. Put a teaspoon in your post-workout protein smoothie, or spread a dollop on a brown rice cake with some almond butter and raw honey.
Cinnamon – anti-inflammatory and great for boosting your metabolism so sprinkle some into your post-workout smoothie or on top of some full-fat plain organic yogurt with berries and hemp seeds
Walnuts- full of omega-3s so anti-inflammatory. Sprinkle a few into your smoothie, add some to a trail mix with some spelt pretzels, or sprinkle on top some yogurt or chia pudding.
Turmeric – anti-inflammatory so will help your muscles recover. Also, it’s anti-bacterial so it will help beautiful your skin and prevent breakouts

Post-Workout Meal Ideas:

Morning: eggs with turkey bacon and veggies on a brown rice cakes
Afternoon: salad with chickpea croutons, lentils or salmon or tuna
After work: spaghetti with white bean and turkey bacon or salmon with a side of sweet potatoes fries sprinkled with cinnamon and coconut oil

Hope you use some of these ideas for some post-workout “#fitspo” (fitness inspiration!)

Quinoa Bolognese with Kale – a healthified version of the Italian favorite, which is typically made with cream,
non-organic meat and pasta.

This is a perfect recipe to make when you’re craving Italian food and perfect for
the meat eaters in your life.

And best of all, it’s made with healthy, delicious ingredients AND ready in less than 20 minutes!

When my body “needs” meat (the times when I’m feeling physically, mentally and
emotionally weak (especially around my menstrual cycle), I choose good quality,
local, organic, grass-fed meat to put into my body.

Last night I was craving Italian food. And, after days of hiking and traveling in
Aspen, my body needed something delicious and filling, so I decided to make a healthy
version of Bolognese and instead of pasta, topped it with quinoa!

– 1/2 tsp pepper

Directions:
1. Cook quinoa according to instructions.
2. While quinoa is cooking, in a a sautee pan, cook onions with a 1 tbs water and 1/2 tsp olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and pepper.
3. Once onions are cooked and soft, add meat, rest of sea salt and pepper and let cook approximately 7 minutes until meat turns pink to brown.
4. Add basil, parsley, kale and mushrooms and cook for 3-5 minutes.
5. Add tomato sauce and stir it all up.
6. Once quinoa is done, place quinoa in a bowl and add bolognese mixture on top.

Wedding-Day Wellness: How to Get Gorgeous Glow!

by Arielle J on July 7, 2014

Wedding- Day Wellness: My tips for a gorgeous glow for your wedding
was featured in this months issue of Destination Weddings Magazine
(July/August 2014).

Top tip when you’re a traveling bride-to be: Take a probiotic.
The healthy bacteria will ease digestion, prevent bloat
and help clear up skin during jam-packed days of travel and
wedding activities.

Here are two probiotics that I recommend:
– Innate Probiotic
– Juice Press’ Proviotic

How to take a probiotic:
– Take with 1 cup of water
– Take on empty stomach
– Take first thing in morning, on empty stomach with 1 cup water
– Take every 2 days so your body doesn’t need to rely on it

be cleansed. be hydrated. be well.

Chocolate Chip Ice-Cream Cookie Sandwich
Ingredients:

– Take cookies out of freezer and spread 2 tbsp of ice cream on the bottom(flat) side of one cookie

– Using the side of a spoon or sharp edge of a knife, lightly “shave” or “de-cream” the remnants of the ice cream off the sides
so the sides of the sandwich are “flat”
– Place chocolate chips in a bowl and dip each cookie sandwich in the chocolate chips until the sides of the sandwich are coated.
– Place the sandwiches on a tray or in a muffin tin and freeze until ready to serve.
Voila!

Serves: 6
