What I Eat in a Work Day

Sheina FernandesLeave a comment

Hello loves – Happy Tuesday!

I often get asked about what I eat in a day or how I keep I stay healthy work. First off, each body is different and has different nutritional needs. I’ve personally learned so much about food throughout the years that today I pretty much know what I need to keep my body energized and healthy.

It’s a little hard to tell what my day/meals will look like since I don’t follow any diets/or count macros ( I’m just avoiding red meat lately). And even though my meals change daily, I thought it would be fun to share with you what I eat in a regular week/work day.Read More »

Hello loves! How is your week going?

Hope you had a great Memorial Day Weekend!

I got to go to Cody, NE with my American family and I had a BLAST ! On Saturday I got to spent part of my day at the rodeo, on Sunday we had my american grandma’s 90th birthday party, and on Monday morning we spent time at the family’s ranch as they were doing branding. Such a fun and much needed long weekend!

Anyway, I am sure we all ate while more than we needed over the weekend so, I decided to share with you a old and delicious “low-carb” recipe!

It is delicious, healthy, and super easy to make!

Ingredients:

– 80g finely chopped cooked broccoli

– 60g light tuna

– 10g flexseed grounds

– Seasonings (I used pink salt and oregano)

LOW CARB PANCAKE

Sheina Fernandes7 Comments

Good morning! How are you?

Hope you had a great Easter!

I loved my Sunday… I got to spend some quality time with my American family and friends, we had a delicious “country style” lunch with a homemade cheesecake and easter cupcakes for dessert, played outside games, died eggs, and enjoyed the beautiful and peaceful day out in the country!

I do believe that being healthy is living with BALANCE and that we need to treat ourselves sometimes WITHOUT NEUROSES… I enjoyed every bit of that homemade cheesecake with a strong and warn Brazilian coffee, which was worth every single calorie!!

And to help us to get back to our healthy eating routine, today I am going to share with you a LOW CARB pancake recipe for a delicious breakfast or even snack.

LOW CARB PANCAKE

Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs whites
  • 10g flaxseeds flour
  • cinnamon to taste
  • Coconut oil
  • Natural peanut butter
  • Red berries or any fruit of your preference

First, whisk the egg whites until they become frothy. Now add the flaxseed flour and cinnamon, and whisk the egg whites for few more seconds. Transfer the mixture to an coconut sprayed skillet in medium heat and flip the pancake until both sides turn to a golden color. Lastly, spread peanut butter on the pancake and top it with the red berries.

TIP: serve it warm and enjoy with a freshly brewed cup of coffee!
