The question I am asked most often is, “What should I eat after a workout?”  Followed by, “How do I get in all of the protein and vegetables I need?”  This amazing shake is a great solution to both. 

To learn more about why fueling before and after a workout is important, read about how fasted workouts do more harm than good right now.

Ingredients:

1 Scoop Truvani Protein Powder, chocolate (or your favorite protein powder)**

Heaping Handful Frozen Cauliflower Florets

1/2 C Frozen Mixed Berries

1 Tbsp Almond Butter

1 C Almond Milk or water

Directions:

Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until smooth.  Add more liquid if the mixture is too thick.

Ideas and substitutions:

To pump up fiber and Omega-3’s, add Ground Flaxseed or substitute it in place of almond butter.

Use your favorite milk or milk substitutes in place of almond milk. 

Chocolate cherry version – Sub frozen cherries in place of mixed berries.

Pink Powerup smoothie version – Use Vanilla Truvani Protein Powder and your choice of frozen mixed berries or frozen cherries

Blue Powerup smoothie version – Use Vanilla Truvani Protein Powder and frozen blueberries only.  Add a small chunk of frozen banana for this version to make it a little sweeter if needed.

** Look for a protein powder that has around 20-25g protein, less than 5g carbohydrate, no Sucralose or other artificial sweeteners (stevia leaf extract and monk fruit are the best option if your body tolerates these), minimal chemical additives.  Truvani is a pea-based protein and adding almond will give your body all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein.

Gaining Fat?  What Your Peri/menopausal Body is Telling You

Should Perimenopause be a Weight Loss Pause?

If you are over being frustrated by your body, are tired of being tired, and feel like everything you do makes things worse rather than better, it is time to learn how to take care of your body NOW!

Let me help. 

If you are deep in the Perimenopause transition, you need to REWRITE YOUR SELF-CARE MANUAL with How to Powerup Peri/menopause: the Complete Guide 

Or 

If you are Perimenopausal or menopausal and feel like you are constantly struggling with inflammation, bloating, exhaustion, constipation, and sudden weight gain.  It is likely you suspect it is due to what you are eating, but don’t know what or how to change.  You need the Powerup and Reset Program.

In perimenopause and menopause our hormones are totally different, so our approach needs to be different too.

Best news is, the approach we need does NOT include:

• Punishing amounts of exercise
• Starvation
• Unrealistic goals that take you way out of your comfort zone.
• Fasting
• Keto

It DOES include:

• Feeding ourselves the BEST foods on a regular basis to assure out body it is fed and cared for.
• Editing our exercise to make it efficient and effective so we don’t waste time spinning our wheels.
• Learning to apply easy and strategic self-care to help our hormones settle down.

Have you tried and failed to change your health in the past?  Consider this:

1. Now is the time to take your health seriously.  What we do RIGHT NOW decides if we will spend our golden years sick and broken or thriving and enjoying life.  

2.  Just about EVERYTHING you read or see in Health Media is NOT designed for women in Perimenopause or menopause.  Our hormones are DIFFERENT than men and younger women.  Things that work for other people are likely to make things WORSE for you right now.  

3.  We cannot afford to waste time with-fast fix weight loss schemes that will likely cost us precious bone and muscle, cause us to gain belly fat, and can even cause us to become more at risk for heart attack and stroke. 

Everything in How to Powerup Peri/menopause: the Complete Guide and the Powerup and Reset Program are designed for women in Perimenopause and Menopause to:

• Help you feel better RIGHT NOW
• Find your best health and make it last a lifetime

• Increase or preserve bone and muscle, the key to aging well
• Keep our cortisol levels down
