High Carb Hannah

Now I’m 6 weeks postpartum and finally back on my green smoothie grind.
I’ve actually been having tons of fruit and smoothies lately because they’re just so easy with a newborn. Like… it’s a whole different vibe throwing things in a blender vs trying to stand there and make pancakes right now 😅
And honestly, I’m really trying to prioritize my health in the highest way possible. The sleep deprivation is real lol… so I’m doing whatever I can to keep my energy up naturally.
This green smoothie is basically like a green juice, but way easier. It’s one of my most popular recipes for a reason. You get all the freshness and nutrients without dragging out the juicer or dealing with the cleanup.
It’s loaded with celery, cucumber, spinach, apples, and I like to throw in some frozen fruit to make it extra creamy. You can totally mix and match based on what you have.
Low fat, super high in antioxidants, tons of fiber… all the good stuff that actually helps you feel good and start your day strong.
If you haven’t tried it yet, this is your sign.

11 years counting and we’re just starting the greatest time of our lives
🩵💙

One whole month with our baby boy. I can’t even put into words what this has been.
So so much love, wrapped up in sleepless nights and tired days. I’m soaking up every second because I already feel how fast it’s going. I wish I could stop time.
I remember telling Derek when we brought him home… I don’t think people hype up having kids enough. It’s just beyond anything I could have imagined. The absolute best thing ever. Truly indescribable.
Yes, it’s hard. Very hard. But the reward is something you can’t explain until you feel it. Seeing his little smile, watching him fall asleep peacefully after a feed, having him close to me every second… it’s the greatest gift I’ve ever been given.
I still can’t believe I get to spend the rest of my life with him. Just so, so grateful 🩵
And thank you to my friend for capturing these moments so beautifully. Photos I’ll treasure forever. Love you sister 😘

On today’s episode of what can I make that requires almost no effort but still feels like a real meal…
sushi bowls 🤍
this has been one of my go-to lunches lately because it’s so simple but actually satisfying
I’ll make a big batch of rice in the rice cooker, enough for a couple days, and then just build bowls as I go
rice, cucumber, shredded carrot, avocado, sesame seeds, tamari… done
it’s basically your favorite sushi roll thrown into a bowl without all the work, and it just hits every time
I love that it’s minimal ingredients, super fresh, and I can throw it together in a couple minutes once the rice is made
definitely on repeat right now

I didn’t realize how much mental energy food was taking up… until I stopped thinking about it.
Lately I’ve just been going back to basics. Same breakfast. Every day. No decisions, no creativity, no “what sounds good?”
Just this oatmeal.
It’s cheap, filling, super healthy, and I can make it half asleep which is honestly the goal right now.
I keep the base exactly the same and just switch up the toppings depending on what I feel like or what’s around.
Today I did coconut + peanut butter and banana because I need a little more healthy fats right now. Other days it’s just berries. Sometimes I load it up, sometimes I keep it simple.
That’s it.
No complicated recipes. No overthinking. No trying to be perfect.
Just something that works… on repeat.
And honestly it’s been kind of freeing.
So if you’re feeling the overwhelmed by food I challenge you to try and eat the same thing for one meal everyday this week. It’s kind of a game changer.

Made these sticky Asian noodles and honestly… they’ve been carrying me lately.
The last few weeks have been a complete whirlwind. Newborn life is no joke. Between cluster feeding, being nap trapped for hours, trying to remember if I’ve eaten, running on broken sleep, and just figuring out this whole new rhythm… it’s been a lot in the best and most exhausting way.
This is one of those recipes that just works in this season. You can throw it together fast, use whatever veggies you have, and it actually tastes like you put in way more effort than you did.
I made a huge batch and have just been grabbing it straight from the fridge and eating it cold at the counter for lunch while holding the baby… and somehow it’s even better the next day. Like the sauce soaks in and gets extra sticky and flavorful.
Simple, comforting, filling… exactly what I need right now.
