The Live Fit Project

One of the biggest problems folks ask for my help with is figuring out meals that are convenient, easy-to-make and well-balanced (includes carbs, fat & protein), especially for their first meal of the day. Breakfast is my favorite meal, and in my opinion, the most important. Yet I often see folks struggle with it. Chaotic and rushed mornings, too tired or simply just not knowing what to have. I get it.

So that’s why I put together this list of my fave breakfast foods to buy on your next grocery shopping trip. If you’ve been following me for awhile you know that I do the majority of my family’s shopping at Costco, but you can find all of these things at your local grocery store.

🥚Eggs & Egg Whites
With so many health benefits, eggs are a protein-rich breakfast staple in our household. Add extra egg whites to your cracked eggs for even more protein. Hard-boiled, fried, scrambled, in breakfast sandwiches, burritos, casseroles, fried rice…there are so many uses. AND super easy to add vegetables to them. (You know I love my veggies. 🌱)

🥞Kodiak Cakes Pancake & Waffle Mix
Who doesn’t love pancakes and waffles? And with the added protein in the mix? No brainer. Top them off with some almond butter, fresh fruit and/or Greek yogurt and done. Make extra and stick them in the freezer so that you can easily toast or microwave them up the next morning.

🌾Oatmeal
Full of whole grains with lots of staying power to fuel your activity and get you through to your next meal. Toppings matter. Check my Reels to see how I make mine on the stovetop or overnight. Pro-tip: mix in egg whites for extra protein!

🇬🇷Greek Yogurt
High in protein. Add fruit, granola, nuts, seeds, nut butter and/or honey for a sweet morning meal. You can also use it in place of sour cream or mayo in burritos or tuna/chicken salad.

🥓Turkey Bacon
With a bit better fat-to-protein ratios than regular bacon (which I also love), turkey bacon is still 🔥.

🫐Frozen Fruit
Nutritious, convenient, great in smoothies and on top of above-said pancakes, waffles, oatmeal and Greek yogurt.

Hope this gives you a little inspo! Do you have any must-have breakfast foods I should be on the lookout for? 🧐

Not saying that there can’t be legit reasons why you are or aren’t doing something. It just means that those reasons are more of a priority to you — and that’s OK.

Accept that priorities can change — that you actually have a CHOICE in the matter of where you spend your time — instead of coming up with all the excuses of why you’re not achieving what you want to achieve.

If something is important to you, you’ll make time for and do all the things to back that up. Period.

If you have health, performance or body composition goals, be the grown adult that you are and eat your vegetables. I don’t care if they’re raw, cooked, fresh, frozen, steamed, roasted, sautéed, fried, air fried, mixed in with other ingredients, blended up or smothered in chocolate with a cherry on top. 🍒

Like, just eat them. Bye.

I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not much of a hiker. Ask me to go and it’s usually a hard no.

🏜 But here I am in Zion National Park on a camping trip with my family and friends, and to really experience this natural beauty, you HAVE to hike. And I was all for it.

🥾 Yesterday we hiked the Narrows which is a long hike through and IN (yes— in!) the Virgin River.

Look how professional I look. We even rented hiking boots, water socks and hiking sticks!

One word to describe the experience and views — ✨UNREAL. ✨

So while ya girl is more inclined to go lift weights or play volleyball for fitness, I think this trip just opened my eyes up to some new experiences that I might normally say no to.

💥 My point — say YES more often.

To things you’ve never tried before, to things you’re scared of, to things that might make you feel uncomfortable (ha, within reason) — but ultimately, to things that will help you GROW, LEARN and become a BETTER version of yourself.

Alright— back to this glorious place called Zion. 🏜🧡
