The Easiest French Dip You’ll Ever Make and it’s packed with protein🤤
Tender, fall apart beef slow cooked right in my @cookmagnifique Claypot Multicooker, topped with melted provolone, sweet caramelized onions and served with a rich au jus made right in the pot for dipping.
This is one of those meals that feels restaurant worthy but takes very little effort. Everything cooks together until the beef is perfectly tender and packed with flavor.

Chocolate mousse that’s rich, creamy and packed with protein, but made with a few simple ingredients.
If you’ve never added cottage cheese to dessert, this is the recipe to start with. Blending it smooth creates that silky texture, then folding in whipped cream gives it that light, airy mousse texture.
Makes 2–3 servings, depending on how generous you are. 😉
Ingredients
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, honey or monk fruit sweetener
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• optional: 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (I use Naked Nutrition Chocolate Naked Whey Iso)
Whipped Cream (or use store bought)
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1–2 tbsp monk fruit sweetener
• Splash of vanilla
Or use coconut whipped cream if you prefer.
Optional Toppings
• Cacao nibs
• Dark chocolate shavings
• Coconut flakes
Directions
1. Blend cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, salt and protein powder until completely smooth.
2. Whip the heavy cream, monk fruit and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in two additions.
4. Chill for 30 minutes.
5. Add toppings and serve.
Creamy, fluffy and packed with protein, this one feels like a real dessert while helping keep you full and satisfied.

🍓Strawberry & Cream Baked Oats
This breakfast tastes like strawberry shortcake, but starts with just a few simple ingredients.
I used Strawberry Cream Naked Oats from @nakednutrition to create these soft baked oats, then topped them with Greek yogurt and fresh strawberries for an easy breakfast that feels a little more special than a regular bowl of oatmeal.
I love that Naked Oats combine protein (20g/serving!) and oats in one product, making it easy to create satisfying breakfasts without needing a long ingredient list.
Recipe:
• 1 cup Strawberry Cream Naked Oats
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
Mix everything together and pour into a small baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes or until the center is set.
Top with:
Greek yogurt, fresh strawberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup if you like
A simple, high protein breakfast that’s perfect for or meal prep. 🍓🤍

A balanced plate doesn’t need to be perfect or complicated. Start with simple, whole foods that help support digestion, steady energy and overall health.
✨ Non-starchy vegetables: broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers, spinach, cauliflower, green beans
✨ Protein: chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu
✨ Fiber-rich carbs: oats, sweet potatoes, quinoa, beans, berries, fruit
The goal isn’t cutting out foods. It’s building meals with protein, fiber and colorful produce so you stay satisfied, support stable blood sugar and give your body the nutrients it needs.
Small choices repeated consistently tend to make the biggest difference.
