Hello and welcome back to another episode of Wellness Our Way.

Today is a solo episode, so it's just going to be us.

And what I wanted to do was go through all of the things that I wish I had known about when I first started my journey. And we're going to cover a lot of different things. Okay, I've got some food, pantry staples, snacks. I've got my favorite things from my morning and evening routine. We're going to go through my favorite beverages. And then at the end, we're going to go through just some general advice and words of encouragement that I would have told myself knowing what I know now at the beginning of my journey. But before we get into it, we got to go through my weekly report. And if you're new here, I'm going to break it down super quick. It's just a really fun way to document the things that are bringing you joy right now. So each letter in the word report stands for something different. R is for recommend.

E is for E. fun way to document the things that are bringing you joy right now. So each letter in the word

report stands for something different. R is for recommend. E is for eating. P is for practicing.

O is for obsessing. R is for reading. And T is for what I'm treating myself too. So we're going to

start with what I'd recommend. And while this episode is going to be full of a lot of different

recommendations, if I had to pick one thing to recommend right now, it would be chocolate bone broth protein. Especially for my girls that have tried bone broth and you just cannot stomach the flavor, but you want similar benefits. You guys, this is so good. It's from Paleo Valley. And what I'll do is I'll heat up some cashew milk on the stove top. I'll add in about

a scoop and a half of the chocolate bone broth protein and one scoop's around 13 grams of protein. So it's a decent amount of protein. I'll froth it up, add a dash of cinnamon and pour it into a mug. And it's also just a good coffee alternative if you want to feel like you're sipping on a latte first thing in the morning. So that is something that I'm recommending right now. E is for something I'm eating right now,

and that is fruit salads. I like salads with minimal lettuce. And I have tried a lot of different salad combinations. Even like when I go to sweet green, there is something about eating too much lettuce that just hurts my stomach every single time. And it's so funny because a lot of people

think like, oh, it's the healthiest option on the menu, which, yes, for some people, it might be, but for me, I always have like the worst stomach aches if I ate a really big salad. So one of the salads that I've made in the past that I love is a watermelon salad. And I'm a big texture person. So I'll chop up some watermelon, hickama, cucumber.

I'll put some

pistachios in there, some basil, and then I'll add it to like salmon or I'll even make like shrimp

tacos. And then I just made this peach salad. It was so good. So it was peaches, cucumber, hickama,

avocado, basil, pistachios, very similar to the watermelon salad. And then I added a little bit of butter lettuce. So if you're somebody that has a hard time digesting lettuce, I definitely recommend trying butter lettuce. Because for me, I notice that I don't really have stomach cakes after I have it. And I just add a little bit into the bottom of my bowl. And then I'll add my fruit salad and some type of protein. But salads with minimal lettuce have been my go-to lately.

P is for practicing. And what I've been doing a lot lately is walking after my meals. So I just got
