Fresh Start Strawberry Smoothie

December 28, 2015 By Gwen Brown 4 Comments

My favorite FRESH start smoothie recipe- sugar free, packed with protein, and SUPER yum!!!

This strawberry smoothie recipe is my reset button. I developed this recipe last year when I started on my protocols with Dr. Rob for my adrenal fatigue issues. At one point in my protocol, I was supposed to drink a green smoothie every three hours for three days, and then until day 14, I was…

Gingerbread Milkshake

December 9, 2015 By Gwen Brown 22 Comments

Just like my Frozen Eggnog Milkshake that’s my other favorite this time of year. And yeah…even the Peppermint Chip counts too. Anything that keeps me out of the drive through…

October 19, 2015 By Gwen Brown 30 Comments

When I was a kid, we lived less than a mile from a Big Star grocery store, and I would walk up there at least once a week with my allowance to score some treats. I usually went for the candy aisle, but one week, a 3 pack of giant streusel orange muffins caught my…

Know what your low carb muffin needs? Streusel.

You’ll need: butter, protein powder, and a low carb sweetener…

SO GOOD!!! I LOVE lemon and raspberry together! This sugar free berry syrup recipe is bursting with the flavors of raspberry and lemon- a Trim Healthy Mama Fuel Pull!

Homemade Fruit Bottom Yogurt Recipe

February 9, 2015 By Gwen Brown 43 Comments

My homemade fruit bottom yogurt recipe brings back some delicious memories. My parents were into super healthy eating when I was a little kid, and we didn’t get much in the way of sugary treats, but we were allowed to choose our own flavor of yogurt. As a child, one of my very favorite treats was…
