Hey Chick,<\/p>\n

What do you get when you put together love, healthy recipes and our sweet FNE grads?\u00a0 An INCREDIBLE, delicious must make recipe that will have your date coming back for\u00a0 seconds:)<\/p>\n

Today we are super PUMPED to feature a recipe from one of the fab graduates from our\u00a0Fitness & Nutrition Expert Program <\/a>\u2013 the incredible Liz!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"IMG_5785\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Liz started the Fitness & Nutrition Expert program <\/a>with us in September 2015<\/strong> and her passion for health, love and inspiring others literally made our hearts swell with pride.<\/p>\n

She is now owner \/ operator of her own business,\u00a0Honestly Social, and opening her new health biz, <\/strong>\u00a0creates her own schedule and still has time to hike and explore the beautiful outdoors\u00a0of Vancouver, BC\u00a0.<\/p>\n

We asked her to share a little about how her life has changed in the last little bit before we get into her yummy recipe:<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the FNE program I was able to develop of strong sense of self empowerment and community, and gained the knowledge and tools to spread the healthy love far and wide. Not only am I the best version of myself, I am a source of positive vibes for those around me. I now have the insights on how to create a life I don’t need a vacation from and inspire others to do the same.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Since completing the FNE program, I have launched a social media marketing business for heart-centered entrepreneurs called Honestly Social<\/a>, AND I am working towards launching a second business in September 2017, which will encompass life coaching, accountability coaching, wellness and nutrition programs and adventure retreats! When you complete the FNE program you feel like you’re part of the FIT CHICKS family, and that you have the unwavering support of Laura, Amanda and the rest of the graduates to take on your wildest dreams!”<\/em><\/div>\n

Ok…enough from us!\u00a0 Let’s get to food and LOVE….Liz, take it away!<\/div>\n

\u201cCouscous? Rice? Quinoa?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell then WHAT is it?!\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n

\u201cCauliflower!\u201d I squealed with delight, and proceeded to tell him all the delicious, organic, ingredients in his bowl.<\/p>\n

Is your first \u201ccome over to my apartment, and I\u2019ll cook you dinner\u201d date just around the corner? Have you frantically scrolled through Pinterest in search of an impressive, \u201cI tried but not too hard\u201d date night recipe?<\/p>\n

Notes: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Want more protein? Add saut\u00e9ed organic chicken breast.
\nCan\u2019t have dairy? Sub the goats cheese for tofu to make it a vegan dish. Sub the parsley for cilantro and lemon for lime.<\/p>\n

Conversation Starters: <\/strong>
\nKale provides an excellent source of vitamins B6 and C, carotenes, and manganese. It is also a very good source of vitamins B1, B2, and E, fiber, iron, copper, and calcium. Limiting \u201cwhite stuff\u201d is one of the best ways to feel and look your best! White rice has had the fibre stripped from it and all that\u2019s left is little sugar bombs! With the exception of cauliflower, (and some dairy if you can tolerate it) white is not right! (FIT CHICKS, 2016)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
