Do you think Justin Bieber wants my recipe? ☕️🍫🍰😂😆 During the luteal phase, I get those “I need chocolate right now or else” cravings. I know I’m not the only one getting this subtle reminder that their period is en route. Instead of inhaling a sleeve of Oreos (like I used to in the good ol’ days), I love to intentionally whip up a nutrient-dense mug cake at the end of the day. This little bad boy is packed with protein from both the protein powder and the egg (~28g of protein)… leaving me full and satisfying the strong-a$$ sugar cravings. This is why it’s my go-to treat in those last few days before my menstrual phase begins! Ingredients (serves 1): - 1 ripe banana (mashed) - 1 egg - 2 tbsp flour (all-purpose or whole wheat) - 1 tbsp whole milk - ¼ tsp baking soda - 1 scoop preferred protein powder **Any sweet tasting flavor works best like vanilla, cinnabon, or caramel I personally love using equip prime protein in my baked goods - code BALANCEDBEYARS** - ½ tsp cinnamon - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 1 tbsp chocolate chips - Mash banana in a microwave-safe mug. - Mix in egg, milk, and vanilla. - Stir in flour, protein powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. - Fold in chocolate chips. - Microwave 1–2 mins until set but soft in center. Rest 1 min before eating. #lutealphase #hormones #menstrualcycle #ttc #pregnant #hormonehealth #dessert #hormonal

Anyone else just fully rely on their sisters advice (who’ve been through pregnancy & motherhood with multiple kids) instead of doing their own research? LOL 😁 Anytime I come across something new or have a Q about pregnancy, I’m immediately texting: ‘What did you do for this?’ ‘Should I add this to my registry?’ ‘Do I need this?’ ‘Worth it… yes or no?’ ‘Should I buy this book or that one?’ ‘Can I have your doulas number?’ ‘Who is your pelvic floor PT?’ ‘Can I eat this or do this while pregnant?’ ‘Can I borrow some of your newborn clothes?’ ‘What maternity clothes should I get, or can I borrow yours?’ ‘Who is your PC for your kids?’ Sisters coming in clutchhh, way better than google 🤣🙂‍↔️🔒👯‍♀️ BTW!! This is exactly what we want our @balancedbeyars page to feel like for you… like we are allll sisters in different seasons of life, here to share real advice, tips, and what actually helped us! We gotchuuu. We’re so excited because soooo much more to come with our rebrand + new offerings eeek…. stay tuned 🥹👀💕 #pregnant #firstpregnancy #ttc #pregnancytiktok #pregnancy #pregnancysupport #sisters #pregnantlife

Organic decaf lattes at home just hit different when you’re preg ☕️✨🤰🏼 I’ve been loving the Santa Maria Decaf beans from Sacred Cups, it’s a collection from @PurityCoffee … organic, clean, smooth, & third-party tested, which just gives me so much peace of mind for both me and Starburst girlie! (our code BALANCEDBEYARS30 gets 30% off for new customers, valid until 8/6.) During the first tri, I couldn’t even look at coffee or matcha without gagging… tragic. But second & third tri? The love is back, baby. And while I still love a good coffee shop latte to treatyooooself, it really got me thinking about what’s actually in the beans/cup… especially while preg. Ever looked into coffee bean quality before?! Coffee is actually one of the most heavily sprayed crops out there **deep sigh** 😔. So much of what’s on the market isn’t organic, hasn’t been tested for mold or toxins, and if it’s decaf… chances are it wasn’t even swiss water processed (major key!). Some of us have no idea what’s ending up in their daily cups of coffee, and if you’re drinking it every day, twice a day, that stuff adds up!! We are so picky about the beans we use 🙂‍↔️. This isn’t fear mongering… just something I’ve become way more mindful of because pregnancy has made me EXTRA intentional about what I’m putting in my body. I’ve actually been drinking purity’s decaf coffee for yearsssss, but now it means even more knowing it’s something I can trust during pregnancy too! The santa maria decaf has been a fave lately. It’s bold, rich, swiss water processed, and makes the best honey cinnamon latte with whole milk... truly a 10/10 ☕️. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your coffee beans (especially if you’re in your TTC or pregnancy era), I seriously can’t recommend this one enough.

Sharing how I’ve been combo feeding my daughter!!! 👶🏼 Low milk supply has unfortunately been part of my journey with all three of my kiddos. This time around, I’ve found a rhythm that feels really good for both of us— nursing first (which was important to me that I continue doing), then topping her off with a few ounces of formula. We’ve been using @ByHeart formula! It’s made with organic, grass-fed whole milk (never skim!), and includes a patented protein blend that gets closest-to-breastmilk. I’m so impressed by their dedication to providing formula fed babies with high quality nutrition that they deserve. (PS: it’s non-gmo and has NO corn syrup, gluten, maltodextrin, soy, hexane-extracted DHA, artificial growth hormones, or palm oil!) So grateful and relieved there’s a high-quality option that I feel really good about giving my daughter.

We are beyond excited and so grateful that our little miracle rainbow baby is on the way in October!!!✨ - Julie Last year on my 30th birthday, I was going through a miscarriage, and this year on my 31st, I’m celebrating a little bb growing inside me 🥹 Crazy to think this is almost the exact same timeline as last year—getting pregnant, going in for ultrasounds—the dates line up almost to a tee. It wasn’t planned that way, but it gives me chills. This community has been everything. The love and support over the past year… through grieving, navigating IVF due to being a carrier of a gene mutation, figuring out how to show up on social media/ work while ALSO protecting my peace, has truly meant the world to me. Through the ups and downs, I’ve felt safe sharing parts of my journey with you, without judgment, knowing you were rooting for me (and trust me, I’ve been rooting for you too in the DMs!!) 💛 Sharing this news with you means so much, and I’m beyond grateful for our BBH fam—your unwavering support through so many seasons means everything. And the sweetest part? This little one will have two cousins born in the same year—Alaina and Carly welcomed their babies, too. Having all our babies so close in age feels like such a gift, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the bond they’ll share. 💛 So much more to catch you up on, so stay tuned for updates!!! Should we share the gender?! 👀 We know it… hehe.
