Burnout does not always look like falling apart. Sometimes it looks like remaining remarkably functional while creativity quiets, decisions become heavier, and our own signals become harder to hear.

Earlier this month, a dear friend and her daughter brought these over while I was recovering from surgery. It’s official, these are a new favorite in our house… gluten free, dairy free (if using dairy free chocolate chips), and so easy to throw together.

There is something magical about starting the day with greens. In our home, this smoothie is part of our morning routine that invites in a little bit of that magic to kick off each day.

I love to spend time in the kitchen modifying and coming up with new recipes. Some creations turn out great, some… not so much. These protein bites will not disappoint! They’re a great substitute for your favorite snack or protein/granola bar and they’re tasty too.
