Eating Elevated

Tonight's dinner featuring @blueapron dinner #2, Tagorashi Chicken Lettuce Cups. So tasty, and so many leftovers for tomorrow's lunch 😊 • • Tonight's version of his vs. hers, feat. whiskey and water 😂

Had so much fun trying out the @blueapron Whole30 approved menu! It pushed me out of my comfort zone to try new cooking techniques 👩‍🍳. This week's dinner #1 was a mexican-spiced barrimundi with a kale + sweet potato salad. My favorite part was the fresh squeezed clementine juice that marinated the kale. So fresh!! 😋 I'll definitely be incorporating that into more meals in the future. #januarywhole30

All week long, I look forward to weekend @whole30 breakfasts 😍😍😍. Today's theme was CRISPY EVERYTHING 🎉. Crispy eggs. Crispy kale. Crispy sausage. Plus bloobs and basil! (The best combo) My secret to crispy everything? Good ol coconut oil 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 • • ALSO, the weekend means an extra big coffee. My coffee gets a little fancy, but I LOVE the taste and the benefits. See what's in it 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 • • @foursigmatic coffee because it doesn't give me jitters like regular coffee // @fourthandheart ghee for filling fats // @nutpods dairy-free creamer because it is the ONLY dairy-free creamer, in my opinion // cinnamon // @vitalproteins #collagen for so many reasons- clear skin, stronger nails, shinier hair, and gut health. Blend it all up for the most delicious, filling, super coffee. • • Happy #januarywhole30 day 13!! 😊😊 (at Orem, Utah)

His and hers "taco" night 🌮. Who out there is doing a solo Whole30 like me?? 🙋🙋🙋 My boyfriend usually eats Whole30 dinners with me, but taco night is an exception, and I can't blame him...

HOLLAAAAAA for @butcher_box delivery day!! 😍😍😍 So. Much. Meat. This is my second box so far and I have to say that I LOVED the first. Tasty, high quality, grass-fed, organic meat all year round? Yes please 🙋🙋🙋 my favorite is all the steak. Mmmmmmm 😋 • • Click the link in my profile for a YEAR OF FREE BACON 🥓🥓🥓 honestly a little mad that I didn't sign up when this deal was going on 😡

Pretty excited about today's #januarywhole30 snack lineup! 🥕 Carrots are great on their own, but dipped in a SPICY THAI DIPPING SAUCE?!? 🌶️ 😍🌶️😍🌶️😍. It turns out, @primalkitchenfoods mayo and @yaisthai almond sauce are a match made in heaven. • • Plus, this @zupanoma gives me NO excuse for not getting my veggies in! 🥕🥕🥕

It's day 10 of the #januarywhole30. You've made it 1/3 of the way there and you're probably so sick of food at this point... talking about food, cooking food, cleaning up after food. So at this point, keep it ✨ SIMPLE ✨. Find the things that make it easy to stick to your @whole30 template. Tonight, for me, that meant a 15 minute dinner of kale, store bought guac, leftover sweet potatoes, leftover dressing, and taco meat. Happy whole30ing, friends! 😊

Favorite after dinner treat in my favorite mug ✨ details are in my stories! #januarywhole30

One year ago today, @eatingelevated was born! 🎉🎊🎉🎂 I started this account because of a gut feeling of wanting to get more involved in the health community. And WOW am I glad I did!! I've made SO many connections, learned so much, and I'm even starting to partner up with some kick ass brands. There's so much more to come this year, I know it! 😊

@whole30 CRISPY PULLED PORK SALAD 💃💃💃 (cause this salad makes me want to dance). Pork is the only topping, but the real magic is in the dressing. Details below 👇👇👇 • • 1/4 cup @primalkitchenfoods mayo 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup @zupanoma tomatillo kale jalapeno (the real star of the show 🌟) 1/2 avocado 🥑 Handful cilantro S + P • • Blend it all up, mix with greens of your choice, and top with crispy @nomnompaleo Kalua pork. Then (extra credit) drink the rest of the @zupanoma for extra greens if you're still hungry!

CHAI LATTE, @whole30 STYLE 😍😍😍 • • @teavanatea chai @vitalproteins collagen for that froth @fourthandheart ghee so it's smooth @nutpods to make it creamy (duh) @llbean slippers. A vital ingredient.

My kind of rainbow 😍🌈😍🌈😍 @artisanaorganics is perfect for your @whole30 because of the minimal ingredients. Wanna know what's in their cashew butter? Organic cashews. What's in their almond butter? Organic almonds. How it should be 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 • • Next time you're at the grocery store, check out the ingredient list of a mainstream peanut butter. That shit is SCARY 🙅🙅🙅 • • Note, this is not an ad, but they did send me some free samples to support me in my #januarywhole30. So nice ! 😊 And perfect to add to my collection of their products. The pecan butter is UNREAL 😍 try it out and let me know what you think!

When my partner in crime takes food pictures, this is what I get... 😂 what a goof. • • Chicken Tikka Masala tonight, his favorite!

@whole30 tip of the day: veggies don't have to be green! 🥕🥔🌶️ If kale, spinach, and chard, scare you, that doesn't mean that the @whole30 isn't for you. There are plenty of nutritious veggies for the green-a-phobs, including cauliflower, peppers, carrots, potatoes, summer squash, and more. This is a Moroccan chicken dish over sweet potatoes and cauli rice, from @realfoodwithdana in the new Fast & Easy Whole30 cookbook. • • That being said, I HIGHLY recommend trying out different methods of preparing and cooking your greens! Often is poor preparation that turns people off. • • Cheers to Day 3 of the #januarywhole30 !

First big learning experience of the #januarywhole30 came yesterday! It was not a fail. It was a WIN. The @whole30 is all about learning what habits you have, crutches you've been using, and your cravings (the worst 👿). So bring it on, learning experiences ✌🏼 • • So, I meal prepped a TON yesterday, and as I always do, nibbled as I prepped. Just little bites here and there. Well it turns out, little bites of a lot of things add up to a whole meal! By the time I was done making this beautiful salmon "cous cous" cauli salad, I was already full! 🙈 Whoops! Looks like mindless munching has crept back into my routine. • • What have you learned in the #januarywhole30 so far??

Keeping it ✨ SIMPLE ✨ for lunch with @safecatchfoods tuna + @primalkitchenfoods mayo + arugala + @patiencefruitco. • • If you've watched my stories, you'll see that I posted FIVE recipes that I'll be making for this week's dinners. This is NOT normal for me. I usually make one recipe/week, and the rest of the time I'll create different combinations of prepped meats and veggies (saves time and 💰). This week is mainly just because I'm so darn excited about my new @whole30 cookbooks 😃 • • If this is your first Whole30, KEEP IT SIMPLE. no need to go overboard and get fancy with you food. Just make real food. It'll taste good, I promise.

@whole30 breakfast doesn't look too different than any other breakfast... 😂. Today's scramble had kale, sweet potato, sausage, bloobs, and eggs. Plus a @foursigmatic coffee with @fourthandheart ghee, @nutpods, and @vitalproteins collagen. Yummy and filling 😋
