75 Medium: Week 8 Recap (Meal Ideas, Workouts, and Inspo)

Chicken Sausage and Ditalini Soup

Food

I have had the idea in my head for about 3 months now to make a chicken sausage, kale, and couscous soup. Somehow, I ended up with spinach instead of kale and Ditalini instead of couscous. But regardless of how we got here, this chicken sausage and ditalini soup is delicious with a creamy Parmesan and tomato broth! This recipe…

Does pesto and ranch sound like a weird flavor combination to anyone else?

Catch me putting @fairlife chocolate milk in every Catch me putting @fairlife chocolate milk in every recipe while pregnant 🙂‍↕️

Without toppings, this clocks in at about 7 grams fiber, 12 grams protein, and 16 grams carbs, so it was a perfect bedtime snack for me when I had gestational diabetes!

3-INGREDIENT CHIA SEED PUDDING
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 cup Fairlife chocolate milk
(optional) 2 tablespoons low-carb vanilla Greek yogurt (such as Two Good)

1. Mix the chia seeds and milk together well— cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
2. Remove from fridge and stir well, taking care to break up any clumps
3. Stir in yogurt and, if desired, top with whatever toppings you want (I love fresh raspberries and chocolate chips, granola, mashed cherries, etc) #fibermax #carbconscious #highproteinlowcarb #hyperfixation #pregnancy

📍Feste: super cute gift store in SoHo
