Guilt-Free Coffee Syrups
Cozy, flavorful sugar-free/low sugar syrups for your coffee - all of the taste, none of the guilt
I found this recipe on TikTok and have been using it consistently lately. So yummy and this doesn't feel “diet”. Tammy gives me great ideas for a “base” to make sugar-free coffee syrups too.

Sweet & Savory Morning Meals
Morning meals that satisfy sweet and savory cravings - high-protein, ready in minutes
These are SO yummy! I've been making these in batches and use them for breakfast, snacks, and sweet tooth cravings.
Pumpkin Protein Muffins
A yummy, savory breakfast with simple ingredients.
-Hashbrowns. I use Lamb Westons brand (they come in a brick shape), in the airfryer on 390 for 13 minutes.
-1 or 2 eggs overeasy on top
Optional:
-Vegetables of choice. I used mini sweet peppers and onions.
-Hot sauce of choice. I used Franks Red Hot.
You could also scramble the eggs or use grated hashbrowns. I just love the runny yolk mixed with the hashbrowns! Enjoy it with a cup of ultrafiltered milk like Fairlife or Aldi's brand for some extra protein.

Protein-Packed Dinners
Macro-friendly meals that fuel your day - hearty, tasty, and protein-packed
This is so yummy! My husband is pretty picky and is hesitant about new meals, but asked for this again after trying it. I serve it with wonton strips for some crunch, toasted sesame seeds on top, and edamame as a side. You could do a side of rice as ...
Egg Roll in a Bowl
Macro-Friendly Sweet Tooth Fixes
Guilt-free desserts that hit the sweet spot without sabotaging your macros
My favorite protein bar and quick-fix for a sweet tooth (especially if my protein is low for the day). The macros are slightly different between flavors sometimes, but they're usually around 200 calories and 20g of protein.
I haven't found a flavor that I haven't liked yet, but my favorites are Caramel & Cashew and Chocolate Dough!

This was inspired by the Chik-fil-a salad with strawberries. So fresh and yummy!

-About 2.5 oz of cooked chicken breast cubes
-2.5 oz of strawberries (I cut mine in halves or quarters)
-1 tbsp parmesan cheese
-1 tbsp red wine vinegar

About 178 calories (for spring mix version) and around 23g protein. You can add cucumbers, carrots, other vegetables or berries, or some crunchy nuts as well.

Chicken and Strawberry Salad
I love a good dip! This is protein-packed and sooo yummy.
-About 3.5 oz of shredded chicken (I prep in the slow cooker prior, but you can use rotisserie chicken too)
-4 tbsp of plain non-fat Greek yogurt
-1 oz Monterey jack cheese
-2 tbsp light cream cheese (I use Philadelphia)
-Celery sticks, organic tortilla chips, or other dipper choice
Heat up chicken, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and Monterey jack cheese until cheese is melted. Transfer to bowl or plate.
Without dipper options, this comes out to about 360 calories and 52g of protein, and it's a HUGE portion.
