Ali Gets Shredded

Hello, my name is Ali and I’m a former Starbucks addict. I’m talking, go every single day addict! Anyone else?? No? Just me!? Oh well! Recovery isn’t too bad 🤪 And I’m not entirely against Starbucks products ... just me going though that convenient drive thru on a daily basis! Ha!! But lately I’ve been feeling some good old fashioned iced coffee! So while I was at Target last night I picked a container of their new blonde roast iced coffee and this morning I am sipping on some deliciousness! You will need: Iced coffee (you can use whatever kind you’d like) Ice - obvi 💁🏽‍♀️ Unsweetened nut milk Heavy whipping cream Cool whip & my secret ingredient — chocolate swirl ketones!

Motivation Monday ✨ I am learning everyday to allow the space between where I am & where I want to be INSPIRE me 40 weeks pregnant with Breyson —Today I knew after I had B my body wasn't going to just bounce back. I knew I was going to have to work really hard but life threw me some unexpected curve balls.... 1 year postpartum, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s & 2 1/2 years postpartum, I found myself in the absolute WORST crash of my life! There have been countless ups & downs between these pictures. But I can honestly say I am SO much stronger now because of them! Physically AND Mentally! I used to let how far I have to go intimidate & frustrate me. Now, it truly inspires me to give it my best. I know you that no matter what life throws at me — I'm going to keep on fighting! 🙌🏼 Change takes time! It doesn’t happen overnight! Love yourself & your body in the process!

Let's talk recipes! How many times have you seen an AMAZING recipe and wished for all of the ingredients to just go ahead and make it!? I know I have on more than one occasion! Well today, I saw this amazing recipe for cannoli pancakes and thought, WOW! I haven't had many cravings for sweets these days #ThanksKetones ... but I couldn't resist the thought of trying this recipe out for myself. But then I got to thinking and knew I could definitely swap a few ingredients out and make it keto friendly! AND I had everything I needed to create this TODAY!! So here you go, guys! <3 A completely Ketofied recipe for Keto Kannoli PanKakes ;) see what I did there?? You will need: For Kannoli 2 cups heavy whipping cream 1/3 cup powdered Swerve 1 tsp cinnamon pinch of nutmeg 1 cup ricotta 1 cup Lily's chocolate chips For PanKakes 1 cup almond flour 1/4 cup coconut flour 2 tbsp granulated Swerve 1 tsp baking powder 6 eggs ...

New fat bomb coming at ya! And, whoa ... it is GOOD! Lemon Cheesecake Do I have your attention??  GOOD!! <3 You will need: 1/2 cup coconut oil 1/2 cup unsalted butter 8 ounces of cream cheese 4 tbsp Swerve 2 ounces of freshly squeezes lemon juice zest of 1 lemon The texture of these is absolutely perfect! I like to let mine sit out for just a couple minutes to slightly soften. The coconut oil gives them a slight "crunchy" texture. It's like eating a candy bar! Bust out your mixer! Throw in your ingredients and mix until smooth! Spoon your batter into a plastic bag and cut a whole in one of the corners. Gently squeeze your baggie into your silicone molds ... or use a mini ice cube tray, silicone cupcake cups or even directly onto wax paper.  Freeze until firm! Try not to devour them all in one sitting! And be sure to pin this for later! <3 *UPDATE - here is the nutritional info for 1 o...

I feel like I need to preface this post! Guess what guys, I AM NOT PERFECT!  And here lately, I've been craving pizza! Which is super weird for me because with my gluten sensitivities, I rarely crave it ... mostly because it makes me feel SO AWFUL!! Thankfully, a few weeks back, we went to a friend's house who is also on this keto WOE and she made the BEST keto-friendly pizza! Tonight  I made it for myself and sure enough, it was as heavenly as I remembered! I seriously think it's even BETTER than the "real deal!" You will need: 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese 3/4 cup of almond flour 2 tbsp of cream cheese 1 egg seasonings of preference First, preheat your oven to 425.  Next add your mozzarella cheese and cream cheese to microwave safe bowl. I cubed the cream cheese first so it melted easier! Microwave for 1 minute. Then stir! Then back into the microwave for another 30 seconds (or until melted) ... m...

Her results have literally blown my mind! 🔥 In 10 DAYS ... she’s down 10 pounds & OBVIOUSLY major inches!

I've been so excited to share this recipe with you guys! Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites have quickly made their way to my list of best grab and go keto-ISH friendly foods for those crazy busy days! These delicious little delicacies have been enjoyed since their arrival at Starbucks! The name along makes me feel so fancy for just ordering them! And let's face it, at $5 per order they should! It's no wonder that I'm saving so much money now by skipping my daily Starbucks run! Anyways, with my new found energy and love of trying out new recipes, I've decided to try my luck at these in my Instant Pot! The recipe I found uses the same ingredients listed on the Starbucks website and avoids adding extra equipment like a Sous Vide machine. One less thing to clutter up my kitchen! And pleasantly, I found this recipe to be really, REALLY close to my beloved Starbucks version! This recipe is simple, quick and only uses a few ingredients that you probably already have...

One of my favorite things to make for breakfast is eggs! They’re quick, easy & budget friendly! Since transitioning over to a ketoISH lifestyle, I’ve been collecting new lower carb recipes to try out. This one did NOT disappoint! 🤤 You will need... 2 eggs 1-2 slices of bacon Your favorite cheese 1 ripe avocado Equipment wise, I did all of the cooking on my griddle — but you can use whatever works best for you! There’s nothing wrong with a good old fashioned skillet! 💁🏽‍♀️ I also found these handy little rings to make perfect circle eggs! Amazon 😉 To start, out these rings on your griddle — mine is nonstick, so you may need to spray your pan! If so, use coconut oil spray! I cook everything on a lower setting so I avoid burning the house down if I have to go separate my kid & my kitten (🤷🏽‍♀️😂 It’s almost like having two kids!) On my griddle, the temp I cook at is 275 on the stove, I’d cook on either the 3-4 setting.  ...
