Huge meatball salad!! Just did a little improvise. Brussels sprouts, green beans, avocado and cucumbers. Just kind of threw it all together with some lemon juice, salt and everything seasoning 😋. #cleaneating #fab4meal #healthydinnerideas #healthyhabits #eatmorefat (at West Chester, Pennsylvania)

Meal prep this week- really simple- chicken, broccoli, avocado and 2 Brazil nuts for those nail gains 💅🏻☺️. I also made meatballs in the instant pot for dinner this week. #mealprep #lunchideas #mealprepsunday #cleaneating #summerscoming #toneitup #balance #healthyhabits (at Chester County, Pennsylvania)

Back to the OG smoothie. #glowinggreensmoothie Trying to give myself a little break from all the protein powder smoothies, and this was the smoothie that started it all for me in my health and fitness journey ☺️. Romaine, celery, spinach, lemon, pear. I just feel so healthy after drinking it! So when I’ve had a weekend of not engaging in the best food and drink choices (cough cough this past weekend) green smoothie it is! #balance #healthylifestyle #healthyhabits #kimberlysnyder #greensmoothies #greensmoothiecleanse (at West Chester, Pennsylvania)

In the morning I’ve been doing tea with a scoop of collagen and loving it 👌🏻. I am a creature of change, so I’m always changing things up in my morning routine and recently it’s been this! Over the years I’ve done water with lemon, apple cider vinegar, green smoothies, celery juice, water with chlorophyll and I’m sure there are plenty of drinks I’m missing and then I just rotate in whatever I feel my body needs ☺️. Pretty sure there were probably some times I started with beer in college too 😬. #morningroutine #collagenpeptides #vitalproteins #morningtea #morningmotivation #teabox (at West Chester, Pennsylvania)

Better yet 0g! However, I usually just look for less than 5g. Trying to find a good protein bar with less than 5g... needle in a haystack. Anyone have any recommendations for bars with less than 5g of sugar?! I’ve tried Quest but I think I over indulged back in the day and now I just can’t do it. Trying to get away from bars and focus on the less processed the better, but I do enjoy them so in the meantime 🤷🏻‍♀️. #healthyhabits #healthylifestyle #proteinbars #sugaraddict #bodylove #smallstepseveryday #onethingatatime #makingchanges (at West Chester, Pennsylvania)

Friday night dinner post workout 💪🏻. Salmon, cauliflower gnocchi, green beans and leftovers from my meal prep this week. I also went back and added 1/4 avocado! 🥑 I added 1/2 tsp of nutritional yeast to the gnocchi. It was a struggle to eat all of this and now I’m sooooo full. But it was delicious 😛. Longest week EVER so I’m thinking I need to make some room for ice cream! #cauliflowergnocchi #salmon #healthydinnerideas #dinnerideas #healthyhabits #healthylifestyle #postworkoutmeals #postworkoutmeal (at Chester County, Pennsylvania)

Homemade guacamole 😋. I pretty much go through a whole avocado a day, wether it’s in my smoothie, with my lunch or on a slice of toast. Don’t be scared of fat. It keeps you full for longer and helps support memory and clear thinking! ☺️ #fab4meal #healthyfat #guacamole #plantbased #healthysnackideas

A little random assortment before yoga class tonight! Now that I’m done with my masters after two years I’m not sure what to do with myself! ☺️ I always wanted to do more yoga, and due to work changes I’ve been so stressed so I’m putting that into action! Namaste! #yoga #makingchanges #flexiblemonday #healthylifestyle #healthyhabits #healthyhappylife #exceptforwheniindulge #healthyish (at West Chester, Pennsylvania)

So this weekend I tried this lavender flavor (P.S. I love lavender!) and the melon mint one. The lady at the store raved about how much better the mint flavor was, but I did not really taste a difference in either flavors? I felt they both just tasted like collagen. Anyone else or do my taste buds just suck? #vitalproteins #collagen #collagenbeautybooster #collagenpeptides #collagenbeautybuilder #stronghair #strongnails #lavenderflavor (at West Chester, Pennsylvania)

Dinner time! Used some of my left overs from lunch today. Never realized they had a $8 deal where you pick and then get two sides! Been on a cauliflower rice kick. Just been grabbing the bags from @traderjoes and mixing it up with some veggies and seasoning 👌🏻. Apparently other people are catching on because I grabbed the last two bags! Meal prep going down tomorrow between writing up my research paper for my last assignment for my masters!!!!!!! 🍾🎉🎊🎉🍾. #dinnerideas #dinnerbowl #cauliflowerrice #healthydinnerideas #dinnertime🍴😋

These are a three (of many) of my favorite “healthy” junk food items. After a night of celebrating my 30th, Sunday turned into a legit Netflix and binge day. I had about 10 meals and could not fill myself up! #bottomlesspit This is what I started off with- @traderjoes sweet potato fries 😍, @amyskitchen pizza, and I tried a bag of the nacho @sietefoods chips everyone kept talking about! I have to admit they were a tiny but on the spicy side for me 😬. But I love the sea salt and lime 😍. #traderjoes #netflixandeat #sundayfunday #sundayeatday #notsohealthyelf #pizza #nachochips #sietefoods (at Chester County, Pennsylvania)

Went back to my OG green smoothie today just because I’ve been craving it lately ☺️. -1 Romaine heart -2 pieces of celery - 1/4-1/2 avocado -1/2 pear - lemon juice - handful of spinach - scoop of @vitalproteins It’s just always so refreshing and just gives me a pick me up when I’m in a slump. Let alone I feel #healthyaf after having it 💁🏻‍♀️. Especially after having a couple days of indulging for my birthday 🎂 . #greensmoothie #healthyhabits #healthylifestyle #bbgcommunity #healthyeating #glowinggreensmoothie (at West Chester, Pennsylvania)

Not the most exciting post but small changes can make a difference! Morning breath tip- when you wake up in the morning🧖🏻‍♀️, first thing you should do is brush your teeth (and scrape your tongue if you’re into that👅) before drinking or eating anything. If you think about it- your body has been detoxing all night and there’s a reason why it’s called morning breath 🤢. If you drink something right away, then your just swallowing back down everything your body just worked on getting rid of overnight! So before I drink my water, lemon, chlorophyll or whatever I’m in the mood for that morning, I always brush my teeth first thing! I know most people want to brush after they have their meal or their coffee but maybe try brushing first and then pop in a mint after you eat! #oralhygiene #tonguescraper #tomstoothpaste #morningbreath #detox (at Chester County, Pennsylvania)

Morning green smoothie and dandy blend “coffee.” Getting me through this week as my first week back from two week spring break 😩. Grateful to have that time off though! #fab4smoothie #bewellbykelly #eatwellbewell #smoothies #dandyblend #coffeealternative (at West Chester, Pennsylvania)

Spring is in the air! Woke up and heard the birds chirping!! 🐦 Everytime I start to feel that though I feel like Mother Nature is like jokes on you and BAM snow storm. Crossing my fingers for warmer weather from here on out 🤞🏻.

This has basically become my staple meal- eggs and broccoli with @traderjoes #everythingbagelseasoning and then almond butter on either these crackers (also from Trader Joe’s) or Ezekiel bread. Sometimes I’ll do one with almond butter and one with avocado 🥑. You could do this for breakfast, lunch or dinner! I usually have it for dinner because it’s easy and I’m tired 🤷🏻‍♀️. #healthyhabits #healthylunch #healthylifestyle #traderjoes #everythingbagelseasoning #bbgcommunity #bbgpwr #fab4meal (at West Chester, Pennsylvania)
