Roasted Apple Sauce with Maple Syrup & Flax

Uncategorised

30 Jun

One of my favourite fall/winter snacks is homemade apple sauce.   My signature trick is to roast them so that the natural sugars come out and they caramelize. Yummers! But, what happens when you add a little special secret ingredient that adds fibre, protein, prebiotics and probiotics that aid in digestion? A highly nutritious, damn fine snack!

Enter North Coast Naturals Daily Cleanse.  100% Canadian prairie flax seed, psyllium seed husk and sprouted brown rice bran powder all providing soluble & insoluble fibre, chicory root providing prebiotic fibre and an array of probiotics for gut and immune support. Actually, you won’t even notice it’s there!

Ingredients

6 – 8 peeled and cubed apples
1 t cinnamon
⅓ t cardamon (optional)
⅓ ground ginger (optional)
⅓ nutmeg
1 T maple syrup
juice of one lemon
2 Tablespoon North Coast Naturals Daily Cleanse or Ground Flax

Instructions
  1. Place apples in baking dish and roast (covered) in a 375 degree oven for 45 minutes
  2. Place in high speed blender with all ingredients and blend until smooth

Let’s not over complicate this sh*t shall we?!?! Let’s not over complicate this sh*t shall we?!?!

Save this for the days when your protein goal is looking a little… ambitious. 👀

I was listening to a podcast recently talking abou I was listening to a podcast recently talking about why women in the 40’s and beyond need to stop thinking they need to be smaller. But rather thinking about something strength to carry them through the next phase of life.

Then, almost immediately, I overheard a woman talking about how frustrated she was because the scale wasn’t moving—if anything, it was going up.

And honestly? I get it.

I still catch myself getting wrapped up in the number sometimes.

But what I’ve learned is that when I follow a solid plan, fuel my body properly and consistently strength train, I get stronger. I sleep better. My energy is higher. And, truthfully, I really like the shape of my stronger body.

Maybe the goal isn’t to keep chasing a smaller version of ourselves.

Maybe it’s to build a body that can carry us through the next 40 years feeling strong, energized and confident.

And yes, we can still want to look our best. We just don’t have to make smaller the definition of better.

Who’s coming to this side with me?

Trying the viral HB high-protein pizza 🍕 Okay… I Trying the viral HB high-protein pizza 🍕

Okay… I get the hype. An easy way to add more protein while still enjoying pizza.

For the crust:
• ¼ cup cottage cheese
• ⅓ cup egg whites
• ⅓ cup flour
• 1½ tbsp coconut flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp oregano
• Pinch of salt

How to make it:

1. Mix all the crust ingredients together until combined.
2. Spread onto parchment paper into a thin, even crust.
3. Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes.
4. Remove and add your pizza sauce, cheese and favourite toppings.
5. Bake for another 10+ minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is cooked through.

🍕 Nutritionist verdict: Easy, high-protein and actually feels like pizza. No sad “diet food” vibes here.

Save this for your next pizza night!

5 things I wish I knew when I started strength tra 5 things I wish I knew when I started strength training at 40:

1️⃣ Follow a plan. This is key to see results.
2️⃣ Progressive overload > randomly lifting heavy.
3️⃣ Eat after your workout — protein + carbs.
4️⃣ Recovery is part of the workout. I take 2-3 “active” rest days. 
5️⃣ Consistency. If you’re just starting out, start with 2 days & master that!

Your 40s are a pretty great time to start building the strongest version of you.
