Trying a new protein powder!
Ok so I just finished my workout, well, after my workout I had to open my YL boxes and smell the new oils! Creamsicle for the win!! All three are really good. And as for one purpose, roots and wings: one purpose is my favorite!

But what I’m really impressed about is how good the protein tastes!!! And normally use:
Chocolate protein powder
Or plain and add a scoop of cocoa powder
Greens powder or frozen açaí greens
Collagen (2 scoops for 22 g protein)
2 scoops cocoa powder
Frozen strawberries 
Sometimes a banana 
Unsweetened vanilla or plain almond milk
Ice

I decided to only use the almond milk, strawberries and banana with YL’s new collagen, power meal and greens….and no cocoa and it is so good!! I wasn’t expecting it to taste good without sweetener or cocoa powder!  Tomorrow I’ll try with cocoa powder bc I love chocolate but wow! I’ve tried a lot of protein powders for flavor, price and quality. 

I do see ”natural flavors” in there so I’m wondering what that’s about but the other protein that I was using also had that. The only thing is the price factor. I haven’t compared but I don’t think I really can as my other protein didn’t have any vitamins like this one has. 

Being honest…this gives me 29 g of protein (20 power meal, 5 collagen and 4 from the fruit and almond milk) I like to get 50g in at each breakfast, lunch and dinner. That way I got that before was adding more collagen. I could do that but the container only has 25 servings. I’d go thru it pretty quickly if I have 4 scoops a day. We’ll see. This is my main breakfast every morning post workout. I workout 7 days a week 4 days weights, 2 days HiiT/step/metabolic and a yoga/stretch/mobility day. 

So this totally passes the taste test! I’ll have to wait and see what my stomach says.

Hey there! I’m Allison, a homeschool mom of 4 boys, married to Peter. Three of my boys have graduated, and I still have one in high school. 

We live in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Life here is beautiful, a little loud, and full of wrestling matches. We’re definitely a work in progress, and that’s real life.

A little about me and how I got here...

I started at Villanova studying accounting, then ended up working as a computer programmer building websites in the mid-’90s. A few years later, I became a stay-at-home mom and never looked back.

My wellness journey began in my 20s when I struggled with endometriosis. It opened my eyes to how much our daily choices matter. 

I started with food, then slowly learned more about what supports a healthier home and body.

That journey grew into a passion for helping other moms see they don’t need to do it all. They can start small and grow.

When my oldest was little, he once sprayed Shower Power in his mouth. Let’s just say Poison Control and I were a little too familiar back then. 

That moment stuck with me.

Even though I had already started making changes with food, it took me longer to connect the dots between cleaning products, toxins, and everyday wellness.

These days, I’m navigating life as a homeschool mom, college mom, and now a mom whose two oldest boys are married. We also have two girl poodles, and they help balance out all the boy energy around here. 

I love teaching about real life wellness, simple swaps, fitness, and homeschooling. I also love whole foods, exercise, pickleball, and reminding moms they need some alone time before starting the homeschool day. 

You can’t teach from an empty cup. 

Fresh milled flour has also become a big passion of mine. I love baking from freshly ground grain, and I believe a lot of what bothers people is the processing, not just the gluten itself.

I’m passionate about helping homeschool moms 35 and up create a calm, fun, organized home, reduce toxins, and feel more confident about what really matters. You got this. Let’s take it one step at a time.

If that sounds like you, I’d love to help.
