Sunday Things… 8.21.16

August 21, 2016 by Leah Goldglantz

Sunday Things by Leahs Plate 8.21.16 1024x682 - Sunday Things... 8.21.16

Helloooooo from sunny Southern California!! I’m visiting my dad out here and loving life right now. He moved to Orange County about 5 years ago, so it’s such a fun place to visit! Not only am I loving getting to spend some quality time with my father, I couldn’t be happier to be out of the super humid and crazy-hot South Florida summer. The weather here is just perfection and I’m finally able to be outside without feeling like I’m going to melt! However, traveling with a baby is SUCH a different world to me! The time change is SO tough with a baby! We’ve been up at 4:30am every day ahhh.

I’m loving all the health food options out here! Also, I had the absolutely pleasure of meeting Jeannette from @shutthekaleup and Holly from @hollyskeepingitreal for lunch at Cafe Gratitude this week. They are both such inspiring mama/health-obsessed friends that I met through Instagram. It’s so nice to connect with people in person that I’ve been chatting with virtually for over a year 🙂 We had some REAL talk – it was so nice to have so much in common with them! Holly actually makes an amazing organic deodorant that truly works – check out her shop on Etsy. On a side note, if you’re ever in Southern California and love vegan food – you MUST check out Cafe Gratitude. I had the ‘magical’ burger and it truly was magical 🙂

Now about my favorite finds from this week:

This gluten-free mac n cheese looks so delicious! I am definitely making it soon!

This rainbow coconut smoothie bowl – have you seen something more gorgeous?!

These banana muffins with olive oil & dark chocolate – OMG!

These chocolate avocado almond pudding pops look SO GOOD!

These baked sweet potato fries with a cinnamon cashew dip look so addicting!

This orzo summer salad looks so fresh and amazing!

These berry bliss overnight oats look so yummy!  You can get 10% off all Philosophie products by entering promo code leahsplate10

This healthy garlic herb chicken salad is the perfect thing to make a big batch of and have throughout the week!

How yummy do these no-bake salted caramel cups look?!

I like to make my own baby food, but some days I just don’t have the time. It’s difficult to find store-bought baby food that I approve of and recently discovered Once Upon a Farm. Read the ingredients – there’s absolutely no additives and it’s all organic. Just the way us mama’s like it 🙂

These are my new favorite yoga pants – I’ve been wearing them a bit too much actually, haha. They are seriously SO comfy!

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!

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 🤍
