  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • sea salt
  • splash of vanilla

add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until thoroughly combined. grease a loaf pan and line the bottom with a strip of parchment paper. pour batter in and bake for 40 minutes at 350. let cool completely before slicing- it will be moist and needs to set! topped here with vanilla yogurt mixed with lemon juice.

Lean on This: A Holiday Season Mental Health and Wellness Guide

When I create content, I always begin by asking myself what would have served my 15-year old self, a young girl consumed by an eating disorder, who felt absolutely helpless and misguided. What type of soft reminders and tough love did she need to pull herself up?

The holidays were hell for me when I was struggling with body image and disordered eating. I felt suffocated by the intimacy and food-focus this time of year brings. That’s exactly why I felt called to create this Holiday Season Mental Health and Wellness Guide. If you’re anything like I was, I hope these words bring you a sense of relief, armor you with peace of mind, and allow you to grow through hard times.
