Quick and easy, nutrient dense snack (or meal depending on how many things you put in it)...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I love smoothies as they are an easy way to get a lot of protein, and they are so filling and keep me satisfied for hours. I love to snack so this is helpful for me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This specific smoothie is: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-1 scoop vanilla protein powder⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-3/4 cup almond milk⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-1 cup frozen berries⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-1 cup of spinach⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-2 teaspoons chia seeds ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Another one of my favourites includes raspberries and chocolate, I'll share that one next time!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Now that I'm a fitness trainer, people always ask

Now that I'm a fitness trainer, people always ask me how they can specifically lose their belly fat, or get rid of their big thighs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But here's the thing. Unfortunately you can't target fat loss - your body will choose where you lose. (I rhymed 😊️)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before getting into exercise I thought I carried most of my weight in my belly (because at the time I was eating and drinking like the 20 year old that I was lol), but when I started exercising and started losing fat, my stomach was the very first place I saw changes. Turns out I actually carry most of my weight in my butt and thighs, and those are the LAST places I will lose fat when I'm cutting, if at all! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everyone's bodys are different. My abs easily show mostly just because of the way my body stores fat, majority of it goes to the lower portion of my body, and for others it will be different, maybe you carry your weight around your midsection. Some will see weight loss first in their face, or their arms, others in their hips and thighs. We are all unique! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now all that being said, if you want to lose fat (not weight as the number on the scale isn't the only way to see progress ) DON'T FOCUS on a specific area of your body at all! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Focus on your workout and how much stronger you're getting. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Focus on eating healthier. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Drink more water. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Walk more. Move more. Stretch more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Love every part of your body and what it does for you every day! ♥️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
