No-bake almond butter chocolate oat bars
May 20, 2020 at 11:08AM Sharing this quick and healthy no-bake snack recipe: almond butter chocolate oat bars! They take less than 10 minutes to put together and make an awesome gluten-free snack. Holler to all of the moms out there cooking 18 meals per day and cleaning up each time. In the morning, I like to drink my collagen coffee and wake up for a bit while I make the girls’ breakfast. I finish cooking everything, make a little something for myself a bit later, clean up the damage, and then it’s, “Hey mom…” cook, clean, repeat the rest of the day. I feel like the kiddos grow so much over the summer and are constantly snacking and hungry! (All the fresh air and swimming will do it to ya.) I’m trying to keep the fridge and pantry as stocked as possible and also have healthy options that they can grab themselves. Different types of fruit, “baby cheese” (the little Babybel cheeses), energy balls, veggies with dip, bagels with cream cheese, yogurts, trail mix, cereal, and jerky have been some of their staples. And bars. SO MANY BARS. I’ll buy three boxes and within a couple of days – gone. I decided to try making bars just to have as backup and to switch up the usual rotation. I had some little helpers in the kitchen and they can attest to the fact that these bars are amazing. They’re not too sweet, slightly chewy, very chocolatey, and give a
A Nutritionist’s Dried Strawberry + Coconut Beauty Bites
May 20, 2020 at 11:20AM Jennie Miremadi’s berry coconut beauty bites are just the kind of snack recipe we’ve been learning to make while at home this spring. These bites are simple, last in the fridge a few days and keep us from going nuts with unnecessary Postmates orders. Jennie is the queen of managing emotional eating well, a topic that’s never been more relevant as we deal with a wide range of emotions right now. These beauty bites come from Jennie’s full day of eating for beauty menu. They qualify as beauty food because they’re full of blood sugar-balancing ingredients that will keep you full for hours and free from gluten and dairy, ingredients that can cause bloating and breakouts for some. STRAWBERRY COCONUT BEAUTY BITES Makes about 17 bites INGREDIENTS: 3 Tbsp organic, raw almond butter 1/4 cup of raw almonds 1/4 cup shredded organic coconut (+ more for rolling balls in, if desired) 2 Tbsp chia seeds 4 Tbsp water 1 Tbsp collagen peptides 1 cup freeze dried unsweetened organic strawberries 1/8 tsp Ceylon cinnamon 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp honey pinch of Himalayan pink salt DIRECTIONS: Mix collagen peptides, water and chia seeds in a bowl, stirring frequently until collagen peptides are dissolved and chia seeds have absorbed the water. Add chia-collagen mixture and all remaining ingredients to a food processor. Process until ingredients are thoroughly combined and a dough forms. Measure out 1 tablespoon of strawberry almond butter dough, roll into a ball, and repeat. Roll balls in shredded
Like All Good Things, Pressed Juicery Now Comes In Bowls
May 20, 2020 at 11:05AM We’ve been waiting for the launch of this top secret product for months now. Finally, Pressed Juicery bowls are here and our only wish is to pack two big melting bowls of high-protein acai blends for a walking date on the beach this Memorial Day weekend. Here’s what you need to know: Pressed Juicery has finally translated their epic juice flavors out of the bottle and into the bowl this summer. Only six California neighborhoods will be lucky enough to try the first bowls, including Venice and Hollywood (see if your fave location is included!). There are three bowls available, all made with an acai, oat milk, pea protein and coconut cream blend. That’s what makes these bowls unique — not only are you getting a surge of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein and healthy fats from the acai, but the addition of oat milk, pea protein and coconut cream means these bowls are incredibly dense with even more protein, fiber, and healthy fats than just about any bowl out there. The bowls can be ordered in three styles; Original, Superfood and Power — each one under $10. + Original: This clean take on the classic features the original mix of banana, berries, granola, and honey, made with a balanced ingredient base including acai, oat milk, coconut cream, and no refined sugars. + Power: The Power bowl is packed with protein, thanks to a toppings mix of drizzled almond butter with banana, almonds, granola, and
The One Nutrient Missing From 90% of American Diets
May 20, 2020 at 11:00AM As unexpected as it may sound, our gut health is foundational for all things beauty, especially for clear and glowing skin. While many foods and supplements work in concert to optimize our gut health from leafy greens to probiotics, fiber is a non-negotiable. In fact, without fiber we may have a hard time absorbing beauty supplements like collagen and vitamin C. Almost 95% of us don’t consume anything close to the doctor recommended 30 grams of fiber a day. We can take all the new supplements and beauty potions we’d like, but if our fiber intake is off it will be tough to achieve anything near optimal gut health. And without a healthy gut, clear skin, good digestion and a healthy weight are hard to come by. To get the doctor recommended 30 grams of fiber a day, we’d need to eat 3 pounds of baby spinach, 8 cups of blueberries, or 10 bananas daily. Supplementing with a simple drinkable version like Bellway is the easiest way we’ve found to keep our fiber intake up every day no matter what we’re eating or where we’re headed throughout the day. One serving of Bellway gets you 18% your daily recommended fiber. We love to pack along a stick pack of Bellway’s easy-to-dissolve powder in flavors like Raspberry Lemon, Mixed Berry and Lemon Lime to drink in the afternoons. Getting enough fiber in our diets is one of those crucial pillars of health that is easy to
Get a Taste for Travel Without Leaving Your Home
May 20, 2020 at 10:00AM It’s no secret that I love to travel. We were in New Zealand when the world started shutting down this spring and miraculously got out of the country on one of the last flight before they fully shutdown! That’s another story for a different day. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t looking ahead to some sort of travel. We always have a trip on the horizon worth looking forward to but not right now! I thought it would be fun to share some thoughts about getting a taste for travel without leaving your home. What are your favorite parts of travel? I think it’s helpful to start by reflecting on your favorite things about traveling… do you love trying new foods? Do you love the fact that your cell phones are basically non-existent? Do you love reading on the beach? Do you love adventuring? Is it the new-to-you languages? What are your favorite parts of traveling? Once you’ve realized what you love the most, I’m guessing the ideas for recreating at home will come fairly naturally. If you love trying new foods, find a new recipe! (Specific ideas coming below!). If you love that your cell phones aren’t present, […] The post Get a Taste for Travel Without Leaving Your Home appeared first on The Healthy Maven.

I’m No Makeup Expert, But These Are the Easy-to-Use Products I Swear By
May 20, 2020 at 06:30AM I was never particularly good at art when I was at school. In fact, I’d say I was rather bad at it. I couldn’t tell my Monet from my Cézanne, I had absolutely no talent when it came to colour mixing, and my eye for light and shadows was virtually nonexistent. Fast-forward to now and I’m ashamed to admit that, even as a beauty editor who spends over eight hours a day playing with makeup, my practical creativity when it comes to art is still somewhat lacking. Granted, I haven’t had to endure an art class in well over 10 years, but masterclasses with some of the best makeup artists in the world are part and parcel of this job, so you would have thought I’d learned something at least. And sure, I’ve picked up a few basic tips along the way, like nailing a winged liner(ish) and mastering simple contour techniques, but when it comes to complexities such as a smoky eye or a dewy but full-coverage base, I like to leave it to the experts. Don’t get me wrong. I do love playing with makeup, and I know a great product when I see one, but when I compare my results to those of someone with a little more artistic flair, I find myself deflated and somewhat disappointed. And this is by no means news to me. I have been aware of my shoddy makeup skills since the early stages of my career. The minute I found myself
These Zara Candles Were Created by Jo Malone, and They’re Only £16
May 20, 2020 at 06:30AM I have a confession to make. I know that I’m a beauty editor and that I am supposed to live and breathe all things makeup, skin and hair, but candles are my one true love. Sure, I still get giddy with excitement when a new bronzer is released, and I love geeking out over skincare launches, but nothing has the power to make me go weak at the knees quite like a candle does. (My favourite ever is Malin + Goetz Otto, £42.) And the only thing on the planet that I love more than a great-smelling candle? An affordable great-smelling candle. So when I heard that Zara had plans to create a line of candles to sit alongside its existing Zara Emotions perfume collection, I could barely contain my excitement. Created in collaboration with Jo Malone CBE, the fragrances have been favourites of mine since they launched late last year. Not only do they look rather chic on the shelf, but the scents are also powerfully fresh, long-lasting and unique. I’ve had several people stop me on the street and ask after them. In fact, much like Jo Loves scents themselves, the Zara Emotions range delivers expensive-smelling scents that evoke a sense of nostalgia that has you going back for more. And now, there are candles for £16, which, might I add, just like the perfumes, have a lingering scent that fills a room in a way only the most expensive do. Honestly, since discovering them, not only have I ordered six
Trust Monikh—Our Girl Just Found 3 Amazing Summer Pieces
May 20, 2020 at 06:18AM There are hundreds of thousands of influencers in the social ether, but only a handful who we religiously stalk in order to virtually steal the clothes off their backs. Our primary target is Monikh—the London-based styling and shopping guru who seeks out the very coolest buys from every corner of the retail world. From her inspiring tips on re-wearing her well-chosen investment items to hunting down the coolest high-street pieces, her Instagram feed @monikh and website are a veritable hotbed of things you’re going to want to purchase immediately (and will never regret). Each week, Monikh will share her new picks exclusively for you… Since the arrival of May, I have had summer on the brain, and so my shopping picks all this week have a real holiday feeling (despite our lack of travel plans for the foreseeable future). I have been sticking to minimal staples recently. However, the change in weather has me craving ’70s prints. Each of my picks this week has a retro colour palette and really distinctive prints. So what are you waiting for? Keep scrolling for my three summer buys. These ethically made woven bags are not only gorgeous, but they also hold a beautiful story of supporting households of the Kamba tribe in Kenya. Each basket is made out of old jumpers and each is unique. I may be going back to my old ways of minimalism, but I will always have a soft spot for that ’70s vibe, and

But now, we definitely have a killer routine which makes my butt cheeks shakeeee haha!! __ It’s super important that you pay attention to those “rules”: 1) squeeze your butt for every repetition 2) move your leg with the “strength” of your glutes and think about your butt cheeks leading every movement 3) don’t release tension and relax at the lower point of the
