Sweet Surrender: Summer Real Food Recipes

Summer calls for a little more sweetness, wouldn't ya say?

I mean just the vast amount of fruit in season and extended days are pretty darn sweet as it is!



Wanted to share these 5 fun, summer-y, sweet treats with you today.



If you enjoy those and want a collection of FORTY-TWO just like 'em, I'm excited to share the BRAND NEW Sweet Surrender: Summer Real Food Desserts e-cookbook with you. It's available for purchase now and for a limited time -- ya know ...seasonal things.  ;-) There is something for everyone in this collection. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, not vegan, just sweet, sweet + tart / savory, 3-ingredient and 5-minute options, more traditional baking-type options, plenty to have outdoors on the grill or campfire too!



There are no ice pop recipes in that collection because I made a whole ice pop collection for you for free recently! If you missed it, here it is. And a printer-friendly version is here.



Keep in mind ... these are indulgences! They are not PFF-balanced. They are meant to be occasional, fun + nostalgic treats but made with more wholesome ingredients than most indulgences have.



Hope you're having a pretty SWEET week so far (see what I did there?)!



XO,

Summer Popsicle Recipe Collection

Most popsicles are like my trolls...

Cold on the inside and 90% artificial. 



HAHA! Heard that joke as "my wife is" and you know I had to switch that up. ;-)



If you've been checking out this blog for at least a year, you might remember that I shared a popsicle recipe collection last year around this time. If you missed it, no worries because I'm sharing all of those with you today AND SEVEN MORE that I just added. Most of the recipes that call for added sweetener like maple syrup are delicious without it too so feel free to dial that down if you'd like. Many are still indulgences, so just keep that in mind! And while they are all cold on the inside, these treats are the real deal -- nothing artificial about 'em.

Which one are you gonna try first? Tag me in your pictures if you make these! I wanna see. :-)



Can you believe the unofficial kickoff to Summer is here already?? I'll be half partying / enjoying and half working. With TRANSFORM: Body + Mind in session now plus my new, revamped 1:1 coaching program about to make it's debut to those who first signed up for the interested list (with more openings to come in the near future), there's so much happening behind-the-scenes here at Tara Allen Health! 



Hope you have a very happy Memorial Day Weekend.

Party-It-Up Recipe Collection

It's the Thursday after a holiday weekend...

At least if you're in the U.S., it is. I wanted to get this out to you before the holiday weekend, but I couldn't quite get it ready in time. (Did you hear? TRANSFORM: Body + Mind pre-launch group just wrapped up their first week of the 28-day course and it's been INCREDIBLE so far! Follow along in stories on the 'gram for behind-the-scenes.)



Anyway, since I know you and you're not a 1-and-done kinda partier, I have confidence that you'll put these recipes to good use throughout the rest of the season. ;-)



I present to you ... The Summer '22 Party-It-Up Recipe Collection.



Enjoyyyyyyyy,
Tara



P.S. I think you need to be on my newsletter list. You can do that RIGHT HERE.

Popsicle Recipes 2022

Since we're on a roll with the Summer recipes...

HERE are a few fun, popsicles to try. No, they're not loaded with protein but they are made with just a few ingredients and an awesome swap for many other indulgent treats when it's extra hot + sweaty out there. 


I have an exciting announcement to make. If you follow me on social media and watch my stories, you may already know ... I've been busy creating a COURSE. This 28-day course is perfect for those who want to boost their metabolism, lose fat and / or put on muscle, and do so in a HEALTHY and sustainable way. I'm about to take a small pre-launch group through but this course will be available for its first public launch in September (with signs ups likely starting in August). If you want to know alllll the details -- including cost and what to expect -- check out THIS LINK and be sure to join the waitlist if you are interested. Trust me. ;-)


Happy Tuesday,

Summer Smoothies

Hey there,

Surprise! Today I wanted to share my new collection of summer smoothie recipes with you.

Smoothies are one of my favorite ways to get in extra nutrition as a meal replacement or snack. You'll notice each of the recipes is for one serving, but feel free to bump that up so you have some to share....or pour into ice pop moulds for a quick dessert!

My suggestion? Pick one or two of these to try this week. Add the ingredients to your grocery list and jot down a quick meal plan for the next few days or week.

Did you know that when you wait until it's time to eat to decide what you'll have, your primal brain takes over? That's why it becomes much harder to choose something healthy in the moment.

Instead, by planning your meals at least 24 hours (or more) beforehand, you can tap into your pre-frontal cortex (your "human" superpower brain) and make decisions based on your long-term goals.

You deserve to set yourself up for a win!


Enjoy,
Tara



P.S. Here's that link for the recipe book again. Feel free to print it out or save it for future reference. :-)
