Struggling to fit in breakfast before dashing out the door each morning, leading you to skip it and just hold out until lunch with your favorite drink? You're not alone.
Need a breakfast that's quick, easy, and deliciously satisfying? You've come to the right place!
I'm excited to share my current go-to favorites with you. These include my top protein powder pick (after trying numerous brands), the best flavor combos, and the most enjoyable ways to consume them!
Here are my top recipes at the moment:
Combo #1:
- 1/3 cup Arbonne Essential Meal Protein Powder (chocolate)- 8 oz Almond Milk (or your preferred nut milk or water)- 1 cup frozen cherry berry mix (my choice is from Aldi)- 1 cup frozen kale greens (they're undetectable, I freeze a fresh bag)- 1 TBSP Almond Butter (delicious!)- 4-5 ice cubes and a splash more water if needed
Blend and savor the flavor!
Combo #2:
- 2 scoops Arbonne Feel Fit Strawberry (scoop included in the bag)- 1 cup frozen strawberry/banana mix (again, Aldi's my go-to)- 1 TBSP Almond Butter- 8 oz almond milk, water, or your milk of choice

Are you doing "all the right things," like eating 1200 calories a day and exercising, but not seeing the scale budge?
Do you feel more stressed when consuming so few calories compared to when you're not counting at all?
In today's episode, I'll discuss how living in a constant calorie deficit, or chronic dieting, may actually prevent weight loss. Your body requires rest and nourishment. Discover how eating more and spending time in maintenance mode throughout the year can set the stage for successful fat loss.

Do you feel apprehensive about abandoning macro counting, meal prepping, and strict adherence to a food plan? Are you worried that without these controls, you might lose restraint and indulge excessively, leading to weight gain?
Have you attempted to let go before, but the slightest increase on the scale sent you into a panic, preventing you from proceeding?
In this episode, I'll provide you with five steps or practical tools to help you conquer the fear of ending your diet. It's about teaching your body to experience a state of nourishment. This isn't a green light to eat indiscriminately; it's about overcoming the trepidation of diet cessation. You'll learn to replace fear with trust, understanding how to eat according to your body's needs.

Do you "fall off the wagon" when the holidays arrive? Do you give yourself permission to eat whatever you desire during life's special events?
Do you "start over on Monday" after indulging in two slices of wedding cake over the weekend?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be adhering to a social norm that contradicts the concept of food freedom. This pattern of behavior can prevent you from achieving true liberation from food-related stress, making you feel obligated to partake simply because it's a special occasion.
Life brims with special events, occasions, and foods. Rather than approaching them with trepidation, fearing a loss of control, consider preparing for these events with the proper mindset and mindfulness.
If we succumb to "falling off the wagon" consistently, we'll never attain the freedom to savor life's pleasures without the subsequent guilt and shame.
I'm eager to learn about your progress in this journey; feel free to reach out to me at taraj@dietditching.com.

If you are consumed by and obsessed with this number, it's time to check your heart and your thoughts. It's time to see, understand and walk out the value that God has placed on you.
In today's episode, I am sharing 3 lies that I lived by, that you may connect with. But, I am giving you 3 biblical truths to combat these lies, change your heart and your thoughts to match up with how God sees you!
