Coconut Milk is my Jam!!!

This Saturday’s Mom & Babe event was a HIT!! The babes were fantastically cute and great participants! I heard the mom’s learned a lot and we even got a little sweaty. Here’s a moment where I’m coaching a proper squat while holding baby nice and close!

Saturday I also launched my Core Rehab Protocol for new moms! Videos and PDFs on how to progressively and safely rehabilitate your core no matter your birth experience or if you have diastasis. Check it out here! Many clients have used this progression to successfully strengthen their core in as little as 10 minutes a day. A strong core is key to reducing lower back pain and injury, re-tightening stretched out muscles, stabilizing your spine and much more.
Ahhhhh canned coconut milk – I LOVE YOU! I’ve been combining 1/3 C chia seeds with 1 can Native Forest Coconut milk (because their cans do NOT have BPA like Thai Kitchen does), cinnamon/nutmeg to taste in a glass jar and letting it set in the fridge overnight! GLORIOUS!

Need reasons to consume chia seeds? Here’s 20! I personally put chia in water with lemon and orange Ameo essential oils to drink throughout the day. You can throw them on salads, in oatmeal, whatever! They have no taste and actually enhance the flavors of whatever they’re mixed with.

Tonight I’m attempting this combo: chia, coconut milk, Aloha vanilla protein powder, cinnamon and shredded coconut. I’ll post pictures on Instagram (come follow along!) tomorrow.

What’s Aloha you ask?! Well, this bomb-ass company I discovered! The best part? If you use code: COLLEEN113 you get $20 off your first order!! So far I’ve consumed the chocolate protein with some coconut milk (from the can) – cool gelatinous texture, yummy! And the Berry Greens Pack which was good. I definitely will drink it cold next time. It was room temperature at my studio and I think I added too much water. I know for next time with the Greens and the Chocolate Greens.

 Not only does this company have great products, their mission, passion and branding is beautiful. I love and support companies with heart! Check them out and place an order! Your bod will be happy you did!

Talking about a happy bod, have you rolled with Yoga Tune Up Balls yet? Check out these pregnant mommas, and some kids, rollin’ at the studio!

How cute is this? It feels good for everyone, young and old! But seriously, these balls get into small knots EVERYWHERE to release tension and help you relax. Purchase your own set here!

Lastly, at Father’s Day dinner last night, I consumed my first IPA and carbohydrate in almost a month! At Signature’s in Penfield (so so so good by the way) I sipped on the beer throughout the meal consumed maybe 3/4-1 C of small potatoes with artichokes. Yesterday, I also had my first indoor game so that helped my body absorb and instantly refuel my muscle glycogen stores with the carbohydrates from dinner. I had high ketones this morning so I’m good!

That’s all for now! So much goodness happening! Please let me know if you need anything!

Mucho love,

Colleen
