What do your yogurt bowl toppings say about you? Mine would say that I’m pretty mild, but let to let loose every now and then (see pool of almond butter 😍). One of my favorite yogurt bowl combos with cinnamon roasted apples, @coyo_organic natural yogurt, sliced almonds, flaxseed and @traderjoes raw almond butter. #losingitwithmelissa #yogurtbowl #paleorecipes

Do you meal prep? I’ll admit I never used to be much of a “meal prepper” especially since I worked from home most days, but now that I am in an office everyday it’s important to me to always have something on hand so I never run out of options.
I just find it helpful to have these foods on hand so I can mix and match with different meals. For example I’ll have those roasted potatoes with some eggs for breakfast, or maybe save them with some chicken for dinner. It gives me a little bit of freedom without having a rigid meal plan, but allows me to never run out of healthy food.
What I prepped:
1) Roasted chicken thighs shredded
2) Roasted potatoes
3) Roasted rainbow carrots
4) Organic spinach
5) Organic blueberries #losingitwithmelissa #mealprepideas #sundaymealprep

It’s recently come to my attention that I missed #nationalbagelday a few days ago, and while I really can’t keep up with all of these national days, I can get behind one of my favorites from the blog these Paleo Bagels with @ottos_cassava_flour
These nut free bagels are gluten free, grain free and seriously delicious with just about anything. I love to top them off with @kitehill almond cream cheese spread and some eggs 🤤 or to just toast them up and eat them as is 🤷‍♀️ Get the recipe by clicking the link in my bio, or you can also grab it here 👉🏻 https://losingitwithmelissa.net/paleo-bagels/ #losingitwithmelissa #bagels #paleorecipes

One of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn is how to let go of control.
Letting go of control is not easy for me at all. As someone with a history of anxiety, control is the one thing we don’t want to lose. Anxiety demands that we keep control over everything at all times. I’ve come to the realization recently though that no matter how hard I try to fight the universe, it doesn’t serve me any purpose besides stressing me out even more. With jobs, and losing our home, the more I tried to control the more the universe pushed back.
The ocean to me is such a perfect reminder of the beauty is releasing control. The waves come, and then they wash away. Storms come, and then they pass. You can’t control this from happening. Through every shifting season and change, the ocean adapts. What’s left is still beautiful. Today, chose to embrace the changing of the seasons in your life however large or small. Sending you all the love 💕 photo: @risephoto.co #losingitwithmelissa #embracechange #embraceyourself

Hands down one of my favorite #whole30friendly sides has to be these crispy smashed potatoes, not only because they are so versatile for any meal but it’s also the only veggie I can get my husband to eat! Anyone else have a hard time getting a hubby/child to eat veggies? It’s a process 🤣

These crispy smashed potatoes are ready in less than 30 minutes, and make a great startchy side veggie to any meal. -

Why have I not been air frying cauliflower gnocchi this entire time? @traderjoes you need to update those cooking instructions because as far as I’m concerned air frying is the only way from now on 👍🏻 Also serve it up with a wild caught salmon with @nutcrumbs Italian nut blend. It’s such a good breading alternative for those looking for more gluten free friendly alternatives and tastes great on salmon, trust me 😜 #losingitwithmelissa #salmondinner #paleorecipes

👏 EAT 👏 THE 👏 PANCAKES👏👏 This is your Sunday reminder that we don’t have to “save” food for a certain day, occasion, milestone or after a workout. We should eat when we’re hungry and eat foods that are not only nourishing, but eat freaking foods that we enjoy.
I used to have the mentality that heavy meals like these pancakes should only be saved for special occasions, and that I was going to have to work out afterwards to burn off the calories. That’s not really a way to live is it? I eat foods that work for me, but also foods that I enjoy. I don’t eat in a way that feels restrictive to me, and there’s so much freedom in knowing what feels right for me.
If you’re going out to brunch today with friends, release the feeling that you have to work off what you eat. Release that you have to stick to perfection. Instead, enjoy the moment and enjoy the company. You’ll always have another day to get in that workout or another day to eat those health foods. #losingitwithmelissa #intuitiveeating #eatthefood

On a scale of 1 to a dozen paleo chocolate chip cookies, how excited are we for Friday? 🍪🍪 I don’t know if it’s the full moon or what, but I’ve been feeling some type of way the past couple days and I think the only remedy is wrapping myself up like a burrito and eating copious amounts of these paleo chocolate chip cookies from the blog. My essentials for these are using @bobsredmill coconut flour, @traderjoes raw almond butter and topping it off with @evolvedchocolate signature dark chocolate bar because as you can see, they don’t melt on the cookies and that’s clutch in my book. I highly suggest saving this recipe for later when the full moon is really in all its glory 😬 #losingitwithmelissa #paleorecipes #cookiesofinstagram

Did you know that January is National Soup Month? Yeah neither did I 🤷‍♀️
-
Well since I’m in the know now, I’m gonna make sure to make me a bowl of this Paleo Creamy Kale Soup at some point soon because it’s hands down one of my favorite soups from the blog. I love all of the flavors it has, especially with the bacon. Better yet it’s #whole30approved so you can celebrate National Soup Month accordingly, even if there were only two people who actually knew it was National Soup Month 🤣
