About Me

Hi! I’m so glad you stopped by. I’m Leah, a 34-year-old that lives in South Florida with my husband and two daughters. 

I’m a mother first (and a wife too, hi Josh!) but my other “baby” is this blog. I started Leah’s Plate in 2015 because I found that when I ate healthy, real food, I felt so much better—and I wanted to share that passion and learning with the world. When I became a mother, making sure my girls ate healthy, real food became a priority for me, so sharing kid-friendly healthy foods (and other wellness-focused aspects of motherhood) is a focus of mine as well.

I enjoy sharing simple, nutritious meals made with wholesome ingredients that don’t take a lot of time to make. There’s nothing I dislike more than seeing an intimidating long ingredient list, so all of my recipes require just a few clean and simple ingredients and recipes that won’t have you standing in your kitchen all day. I’m all about keeping healthy eating uncomplicated. Therefore, all of my recipes are quick and simple.

My goal is to help people realize that eating healthy doesn’t have to be complicated for you or your kids. I’m a busy mom who doesn’t have hours to spend in the kitchen — and I know you’re busy too! I want people to know they, too, can live a busy lifestyle without sacrificing health—and that they can make that happen for their family, too. I also love proving that healthy can be delicious!

Aside from cooking, I also love fitness; especially yoga, kickboxing and weight training. Yoga definitely keeps me grounded and calms my body and mind in a whole new way.

I’m also passionate about clean beauty products and non-toxic household products, so you’ll also find tidbits of this on my site as well. I guess I can say I have an overall passion for health and wellness! I truly believe that when you’re healthy in ALL aspects of life (food, fitness, non-toxic living) is when you’ll feel your best mentally and physically.

I’m currently enrolled at IIN (Institute of Integrative Nutrition), so by August 2021 I’ll be a certified nutrition consultant. I’m already taking on clients, so reach out to me if you’d like to schedule a consultation to see if I can help you with your health goals! My true passion in life is helping others feel their best.

I hope you enjoy my blog! Always feel free to comment on my posts with any questions or comments. I’ll always do my best to get back to you! Xo

Creamy chia pudding with all the toppings - love t Creamy chia pudding with all the toppings - love this for a satisfying breakfast! Chia seeds are packed with fiber and most of us don’t get enough fiber in our diets...

To make the chia pudding: in a blender add 1 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup chia seeds & 1/2 ripe banana (the banana is optional, but I love that it naturally sweetens it & makes it nice and creamy. Blend then pour into a jar and refrigerate overnight (or for at least an hour). Add desired toppings. I love fresh berries, grain-free granola & hemp seeds. Love some almond butter drizzled on top too!
You know my blender spinach muffins that I’m obs You know my blender spinach muffins that I’m obsessed with?! Well they recently got a little upgrade with CHOCOLATE! 
It’s basically the same recipe as my blender spinach muffins, but with the addition of chocolate & chocolate chips! Definitely a fabulous way to sneak some greens in for yourself and kids if you have! Full recipe is on my blog:

Have a great weekend loves.
Officially one of my new fave smoothies!! This blu Officially one of my new fave smoothies!! This blueberry zucchini almond butter shake is such a great way to get some veggies in! Thank you for this recipe @flora_and_vino 

1.5 cups almond milk
1 tbsp ground flax
1 tbsp almond butter 
1 scoop vanilla protein (can use vegan protein or vanilla collagen).
1 cup frozen blueberries 
1 frozen zucchini (I steam it first, let it cool, then chop it & freeze it). 

Blenddddd baby! So creamy & delish!!
I remember about two years ago I had a cough that I remember about two years ago I had a cough that was lingering so I went to a doctor that I had never been to before just to get checked out and make sure everything was okay. The doctor spent under 5 minutes with me, barely checked me out and almost immediately wrote me a prescription for an antibiotic. I was questioning why I was taking an antibiotic and he didn’t really take the time to explain and rushed off to another patient. I trusted my gut instinct that I didn’t need an antibiotic (I am definitely open to taking them was necessary), and 5 days later my cough went away on its own. I could dive deeper into this, but wanted to share that I am so glad I have found a doctor that spends adequate time with me - whenever I need - for as long as I need. You deserve that!! We all deserve that. 

I’m so lucky to be in such great hands with @steadymd - they’re an online doctor that’s available via an app on your phone and you can reach out with anything anytime! I spent over an hour last week on the phone with my functional MD going over bloodwork. All of my questions were thoroughly answered. A functional MD is the best fit for ME (my doc takes a whole person approach to health & understands things like training, recovery & nutrition), but whats so great is SteadyMD matches you with a doctor that aligns with YOU and your specific medical needs, diet, lifestyle and goals, not just someone who's local based on a quick quiz you take! 

SteadyMD is so convenient and refreshing and is EXACTLY what I've been looking for in a doctor. Plus it's super convenient - No co-pays. No waiting rooms. Just unlimited access to a doctor who “gets” you.

Click the link in my bio or visit steadymd.com/leahsplate to get started. 

Thank you so much to SteadyMD for partnering on this post! I’m so grateful to partner with a company I believe in so much 🤍
Peanut butter & banana French toast roll ups!!! De Peanut butter & banana French toast roll ups!!! Def a big hit w the girls!! 

First cut the crust off the bread (I used sprouted organic whole wheat) and then flatten with a rolling pin. Spread a layer of peanut butter over the bread, followed by thinly sliced banana (the banana just covering 1/4 of the bread), then roll up. Dip the entire rollup in egg & almond milk mixture (1 egg, 2 tbsp almond milk, cinnamon & 1/2 tsp vanilla extract). Cook on a frying pan over medium heat in coconut oil (or grass-fed butter). I heat up the frying pan a few min before placing the rollup on it. Cook for 2 - 3 min on each side. Drizzle some peanut butter on top & ENJOY! 

It’s a beautifullllll day here in South Florida, so planning to spend the rest of the day outside w the girls & Josh. Putting my phone away & being present in what’s REALLY important (which is the people you’re spending time with in REAL life), not scrolling mindlessly on social media - something I’m really working on! 🤍
