SLB BREAKFAST SALAD

LBBREAKFASTSALAD.png

I’m a breakfast salad lover. A vitamin and mineral rich start to the day is what fills my body up without weighing me down. This recipe from Flamingo Estate is filled with gut happy ingredients including fermented coconut yogurt.

Ingredients

  • 1 large head escarole, cut into 1” pieces (or any other lettuces you love)

  • 2 avocado, sliced

  • 2 cara cara oranges, peeled and sliced (save the rinds to make an easy cleaning spray for your home)

  • 1⁄4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

  • 1⁄4 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt

  • 1 tbsp poppyseeds

  • 3 tbsp lemon juice

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 1⁄2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • Handful sprouts

  • Himalayan pink sea salt

  • 1⁄4 cup fresh dill leaves

  • FE seed brittle (recipe found on the FE website) *optional

Steps

  • Place the coconut yogurt, poppy seeds, lemon juice, olive oil and black pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and transfer to a large bowl.

  • Add the escarole to the large bowl with the dressing and toss to coat. Add the coconut flakes and sprouts, tossing again.

  • Layer they dressed escarole on a platter with the avocado and cara cara slices. Top with crumbles of seed brittle and dill.

  • If you’re craving some protein, I love to top this salad off with a fried egg.

  • Enjoy!

SLB TURKEY MEATBALLS

SLBTurkeyMeatballs.jpg

This week’s member recipe is my go-to healthy turkey meatballs. I’ve been making them for a while and while they’re not my Italian grandmother’s recipe (they’re more of a Swedish meatball) they do work with a maranara sauce and are a breeze to make.

Making great meatballs is all about memorizing a basic ratio that you can adjust to suit your taste and you can use any meat — even fish if you want to take it in that direction. I use ground flax and egg to bind it together but you can add breadcrumbs for lightness if needed. You can then serve these turkey meatballs with red sauce, brown sauce, rice, cauliflower rice, quinoa or salad. Mars loves them on a toasted baguette with cheese or with spaghetti. I like to batch cook these on Sunday and have them on hand for an easy weeknight meal and everyone is happy.

INGREDIENTS 

  • 1 pound ground turkey

  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tablespoons ground flax

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped white onion

INSTRUCTIONS 

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you use foil, spray with cooking spray.

  • In a bowl, add ground turkey, cumin, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, egg and onion. Then add flax. Add more if necessary or feel free to add some breadcrumbs for lightness. Gently mix with your hands until well combined. Careful not to over-mix or the meatballs won’t be moist and tender.

  • Use your hands to mix (roll them in your palms) the mixture into meatballs. Place on parchment lined baking sheet. Some people prefer using a medium cookie or ice cream scoop which will make 12-15 meatballs, 1-inch in diameter. You can definitely make them in whatever size you’d like, just make sure they are all relatively the same size so they cook evenly.


TO MAKE TURKEY MEATBALLS IN THE OVEN

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through.

TO MAKE TURKEY MEATBALLS ON THE STOVETOP

In a large skillet heat two tablespoons of olive oil at medium-high heat. Cook the meatballs in batches until browned on all sides for about 6-8 minutes. If you’re planning to drop these in red sauce stop browning at 4-5 minutes and then place in red sauce on low for a few additional minutes.

LAUREN BOGGI'S MATCHA BEAUTY TONIC

Remember this recipe from April 2020? I still drink it almost daily and thought that it’s the perfect time to revisit it.

Spring in quarantine is the perfect time to establish (or re-establish) a self-care routine. Self-care doesn’t have to mean a luxurious day at the spa or come with a heavy price tag. It can be super simple. For example, I've been enjoying this Matcha Beauty Tonic every morning with my phone and computer turned off.

I love matcha. It provides a delicious nutrient-rich energy boost pre and post -Studio LB. And it has so many amazing benefits. It gives you the zip of coffee without raising your heart rate.  It also keeps you satiated and works as a fat blocker by blocking the ability of digestive enzymes to break down fat, a step necessary for fat to enter our cells. So instead of absorbing and storing the fat, it gets passed through the body. Matcha is also rich in chlorophyll, which alkalizes and detoxifes the blood. By increasing its pH, the body has a better chance of getting more oxygen and nutrients to cells for healing. I notice that my skin looks more radiant and I feel revitalized when I drink it.  

Spring Matcha Beauty Tonic

Ingredients
1/2 tsp. matcha
Choice of nut or oat milk to taste
1/4 tsp. ashwagandha (adaptogen/stress relief)
1/4 tsp. reishi (superfood/immune booster)
1/4 tsp. mesquite (superfood/blood sugar stabilizer and protein)

Directions
Scoop matcha powder (start at 1/4 tsp. then adjust according to your taste), ashwagandha, reishi, and mesquite into a cup. Fill cup with hot water, and then whisk in your choice of milk until it starts to froth.

SLB SKINNY MARGARITA

SLBMarg.png

(Repost from 2020)…This has been my go-to libation since Quarantine began. My girlfriend Janeesa and I came up with it together as she doesn’t drink tequila but subs in Mezcal. It’s the perfect mix, and it’s about as light and limey as it gets. You can sub in your preferred brand of lime sparkling water but the Key Lime La Croix is perfecton. Cheers!

Ingredients

2 ounces silver tequila

1 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice

Heavy splash of Key Lime La Croix

Ice

Salt

Directions: Combine all ingredients in a shaker and add ice. Shake and strain into a salt-rimmed rocks glass and garnish with a lime wheel.

TWO-A-DAY

LaurenBoggi.jpg

My goal is to help motivate women to achieve a strong, toned, feminine body without going overboard. I want them to become their best selves - shining at their absolute brightest.

Whether it’s post-Activation, pre-summer, or as the world is currently opening back up two-a-day season is here. I don’t recommend training like this regularly (it’s not necessary) but I’m often asked how to ramp up your results and safely take on two SLB workouts in one day and how to best do it.

If you’re currently completing a full-length workout each day, I recommend tacking on one Quick Burn workout daily for four or five days to begin. If you really want to see your progress, I recommend following our 7-Day Meal Plan. Diet is everything, guys. You cannot out work a poor diet. It takes being constant, disciplined and focused.

You receive three to four new workouts each week, but you also have an extensive workout library that’s just shy of 700 workouts and there are SO many gems in there. There are so many ways to use SLB and at the end of the day it should work for you whether it’s your main thing or your sidepiece.

Know your Goals

Part of it is understanding what your personal goals are. From there, you can achieve your goals. For example, if one of your goals is fat loss, you’ll want to lift heavy during full length workouts (unless I say otherwise) and also choose workouts that target the large muscles of the lower body (fat burners). FYI: I create at lease two of these for you each week.

Make it Personal

Head back to a favorite or peruse the Quick Burn library. There’s no reason to fear mixing it up. If you've been adding your favorite workouts to "Favorites" in SLB, this is a great place to start. Search for the individual workout by name or under its category (Cardio + Sculpt, Sculpt or Quick Burn). Our workouts are always evolving, so something from 2019 or 2020 may feel really fresh.

Play with Props

Do you always start with cardio or sculpt? Why not start from a new perspective and search a prop that speaks to you? By beginning with something you love or maybe something you haven’t done in a while like a dowel workout, your workout will feel more personal, fun, and revived.

Program with Purpose

Each week I make sure we’re balancing the body with a mixture of flexion, extension and rotation along with incorporating both standing and grounded work. You’ll also notice equal balance of weighted work, cardio and sculpt. Grouping movement together by function and purpose helps to give more context to the week. Once you start balancing things in this way, you’ll see what you have too much or too little of. Doing too much cardio or repeating the same workout everyday won’t get you very far or do you much good.

When you work from a place of balance, your weekly schedule will feel purposeful. If you don't want to think too hard, you can repeat an entire week from a previous month.  I do my best to make sure nothing goes untouched, under or over-worked in a particular week, so you know it's always a safe bet to follow a full week. 

Less can be More

Quick Burn workouts really work in 30 minutes or less. With every workout, I make sure you are in the total-body zone so that you don’t create muscle imbalances. The art of programming can be tricky to get right, and it’s easy to overwork or underwork parts of the body when you’re DIY’ing it. When you’re not following the weekly QB schedule, make sure you’re choosing a Cardio + Sculpt and Standing Abs workout each week. Lifting heavy will give you way more burn for the time.


Elevate what’s Pre-Existing

It’s amazing how a few small tweaks can unlock your workouts freshness and vitality. Something as simple as working with a 2 lb. heavier weight or adding ankle weight can make a huge impact.

Let it be a Work in Progress

Finally, it’s important to allow your workout and your progress to be a work in progress. You have to accept that fitness and progress takes time, and the biggest visible progress will come from diet. It isn’t a race, and there’s no finish line, so try to relax and enjoy the process.

SLB Roasted Tomatoes

Looking for the perfect simple and delicious side? I was recently in Miami and my italian friend, Betta made the best roasted tomatoes for dinner. Sharing her recipe here. You can use any type of tomato but Roma tomatoes are the best for this. There are no measurements, so make it your own. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • Roma tomatoes

  • Olive oil

  • Minced garlic

  • Oregano

  • Basil

  • Parsley

  • Capers

  • Sea Salt and black pepper

Directions

Cut tomatoes in half, and remove seeds and liquid. Arrange them cut side up on a foil lined baking pan and dress them with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, capers, salt and pepper. Place them in the oven at 350 and slow roast for two-three hours. Remove them and sprinkle with your choice of herbs (basil, parsley, more oregano) and more salt and pepper.

SLB CARA CARA CREAMSICLE

This refreshing recipe pays homage to the food court classic, the Orange Julius (also my first job) and the Cara Cara orange. Cara Cara oranges are a cross between two types of Navels and were first discovered in Venezuela in the mid-70s. They have a bright orange peel, pink insides, and undertones of sweet cherry and berry flavors. They're juicy, so sweet, refreshing and delicious. Abundant with fiber, vitamin C, folate, thiamine, and potassium.

Unlike the very unhealthy and processed original, this healthy version isn’t low glycemic but it IS good for you with fiber, protein, Vitamin C, and has a nice, smooth consistency. If you want to reduce the sugar in this recipe, use a smaller piece of citrus and 1/2 banana or omit the banana entirely and sub in more coconut meat. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup nut milk

  • 1/2” piece of ginger, peeled

  • 1 Cara Cara orange (tangerine and blood orange also work well)

  • Citrus zest - zest the entire orange

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (I love Heilala) or vanilla powder

  • a few pieces of frozen coconut meat (approx 2” per piece) or 1/2 packet of Zuma Valley

  • 1 frozen banana

  • Ice

Directions

Put everything except the water into a food processor or high speed blender until desired consistency is reached.

Tip: You can add protein or collagen (I love Dose & Co in this) to this recipe and it also works well as a healthy cocktail mixer - add vodka.

Lauren's 7 TIPS TO LOOKING & FEELING CONFIDENT IN YOUR SWIMSUIT

LaurenBoggi.jpg

Happy Spring Break! It’s time to shed the layers. Whether you’ve been homeschooling and haven’t moved much in the past year or you’re in the best shape of your life, SLB is here to help you move, eat with think with intention.

I’ve been in the fitness industry and have worked with (mostly) women for almost two decades. Each year as winter turns to spring women call on me when they want to feel their best and level up. As I learn about what they want to change about their physical bodies, I also help them do the mental work and identify what they love about themselves. More than the results they achieve with SLB, I love to help women build confidence and realize that their body is the most uniquely beautiful and the most amazing thing that they will ever own.

I’m a pro at making myself look larger and longer both on and off camera. If you’ve only seen me on camera and have never met me in person, I’m shockingly petite (5’0 tall and under 110 lbs.) but I’ve always been incredibly curvy. I’ve gone through stages where I didn’t love my curves and wished I was like, AT LEAST 5’2”, but over the years I’ve learned to really appreciate and truly love my body. I’m here to tell you that loving your body takes time but it’s not difficult to do.

Here are my seven tips to looking and feeling comfortable and confident in your swimsuit in 2021.

Identify and Own your Strengths

Instead of picking yourself apart or comparing yourself to someone else, focus on your what makes you uniquely beautiful. I promise that you can identify one thing you love about yourself and that will turn into ten.

Drop into the Physical

I like to use movement to break negative patterns and shift my mindset. The quickest and easiest way to upgrade your mood is to move. You can literally move the negative out of your mind and body, because movement can chemically change how you feel. Emotion is enhanced by motion, and movement can make you feel good, sexy, strong, beautiful and empowered. I’m biased but there is nothing out there that will tone and shape your body as quickly as Studio LB. Combining cardio and resistance training is key and even if you’re just doing our Quick Burn workouts, you are guaranteed results in as little as ten workouts. It’s as instant gratification as it gets.

Self-Care

Take a bath, apply a mask or a spray tan, and just flirt with life a little bit more. Love and the libido is a vital sign in your well-being and your body’s eco-system. I’m not just talking about sex. Everything in life is connected to the heart, desire and feeling alive. I’ve learned that love really starts at home – within ourselves. Feeling sexy (for myself) allows me to tap into my creativity, confidence, all that is feminine and ultimately - loving my body.

Wear what feels good

Forget about what’s trendy and stick to what you feel the most confident and comfortable in…and smile. Nobody will notice your insecurities if you feel good and look authentically happy.

Eat with LB

A few days before you’re planning on being in a bikini, drink plenty of water and decrease sodium and foods that cause bloating. It's not a case of healthy vs. unhealthy – choose still over sparkling water and stay away from raw veggies like cabbage or broccoli and beans which can cause bloating. I always choose anti-bloat options like sauteed greens and grilled chicken before I show major skin.

Posture Perfect

Stand up straight with your shoulders pulled back and down and with as much confidence as you can gather. Lengthening your spine out through the crown of your head is literally the quickest and most effective change you can make.

High Pony

Volume or “big hair” draws attention to the upper half of your body, balancing your silhouette and providing a distraction from any parts you're not in love with at the current moment. A high pony adds two inches in height and stretches you out. Even a sun hat will do the trick!

SLB EXTRA GREEN SOUP

SLBExtraGreenSoup.png

I’ve been making this soup for years and it began as a means of using up collards, celery, and other greens that were in my fridge, and it’s become a recipe that feels new with each change of the season and is especially a great transitional recipe between winter and spring.

It’s easy to make, good hot or cold, and the flavors are mellow. If you’re looking for an easy, healthy way to eat more greens–one that’s neither a smoothie nor a salad–this soup is the answer.

This soup is light so if you’re looking for more heft you can top it with rice, quinoa, legumes, or pepita as a means of adding texture and weight.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups vegetable stock

  • 1-2 cups escarole (chopped)

  • 1-2 cups broccoli florets (chopped)

  • 2 large handfuls of spinach

  • 1 onion (diced)

  • 1 large handful of collard greens or kale, (chopped & stems removed)

  • 3 celery stalks (diced)

  • 1/4 cup parsley or cilantro (chopped)

  • 2 Tbsp of olive oil

  • 1-2 lemon or lime (squeezed)

  • 1-2 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp Bragg liquid aminos or sea salt

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-5 min until it begins to golden. Add the celery and saute for 1-2 more min. Add the broccoli, salt and pepper and sauté for 1-2 more min. Add the vegetable stock and simmer for about 10 min, until the broccoli is tender. Add the escarole, spinach and kale and simmer for 2-5 more min, then remove from the heat. Stir in the chopped parsley or cilantro and transfer to your high speed blender or use an immersion blender. You may need to blend in two batches depending on the size of your blender. Add more vegetable broth, salt and pepper as needed to reach desired consistency and seasoning.

SLB Spring Wellness Staples

LaurenBoggi.JPG

We’re tilting towards the sun and I’m sharing a few of my favorite hero products, superfoods, beauty and wellness staples that help me stay healthy (and feel pretty) now and throughout the pandemic.

What does “superfood” mean to you? The word itself may invoke imagery of kale and flax, but I like to think of it on a more personal level. Eating healthy is all about self-discovery and what works for you individually. There is no magic food that will keep you 100% healthy but some are really next level. Hero products are those that have changed my life, and that I can’t live without.

Olive Oil - I love olive oil and being Italian it’s the one food that I’ve grown up enjoying everyday. I’d bathe in it if I could! Just as olives are a superfood, high-quality olive oils are as well. Wonder Valley and Flamingo Estate are my favorites.

Alkaline Water - I drink alkaline water everyday but I always struggle getting enough water in everyday. The Bodum Water Kettle changed that. It’s my secret to drinking more water daily. The sleek modern design looks great in any kitchen and you can’t beat hot water in less than one minute.

Stress Management Supplement - Moon Juice SuperYou is an adoptogen that I take every morning and it just makes me feel great and takes the edge off. I’m more focused and a better human and mom.

CBD Skincare - Happy Dance™ is a line of premium CBD products by Kristin Bell made with moms in mind and I swear the bath bomb has helped get me through the pandemic. I love it so much that I’m on the subscription. It’s next level moisturizing and knocks you out cold and I use the coconut melt and body butter everyday.

Mask - I’ve been using Adipeau as a sleeping mask religiously since September and it keeps my face as fit as my body. It is an anti-inflammatory and prevents skin atrophy (thinning of skin cells), wrinkling of the skin, and loss of elasticity.

SLB SHAMROCK SHAKE

This week I’m sharing my healthy Shamrock Shake recipe. It’s simple, dairy-free, vegan, and St. Patty’s appropriate but this delicious minty smoothie can be enjoyed anytime of the year. I make this for Mars a few times a month and he prefers oat milk and no cashews (photo above), but if you add cashews the consistency is thicker like a shake and it will keep you full, longer.

Ingredients

  • 1 large handful of spinach

  • 1 handful of fresh mint (approx 6-8 leaves)

  • 1/4 avocado

  • 1 cup of oat milk (or milk of your choice)

  • 1/4 cup raw cashews (optional)

  • 1/2 banana

  • Ice

Directions

Put everything except the water into a food processor or high speed blender for approx 1 min. until desired creaminess is reached. 

*Tip: Use pre-cut frozen banana if you’d like the smoothie will be thicker like a shake. If you do add cashews you might have to increase the amount of milk, or add water.

SLB SO GREEN SOUP

CDA9BF23-DF96-4A05-8E8F-0ACBA847D99F.JPG

I’m sharing this week’s member recipe with everyone. My So Green Soup recipe changed my life years ago and it was such a staple that I even sold it at my studios after I had Mars. So Green Soup (cold) is delicious, energizing and keeps you full while leaning you down. It's high in healthy fats and protein, balances blood sugar and takes only minutes to throw together. Make a batch on Sunday & it’ll stay good in the fridge through Tuesday.

SLB So Green Soup
1 bunch raw asparagus
1 avocado
1-2 cups h20
1 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup fresh dill
1 lemon, squeezed
1 tbsp Bragg liquid aminos
1 clove garlic
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt
2-4 lemon balm leaves
1/4 tsp spirulina (opt)
1/4 tsp hemp seeds
1/4 tsp chia seeds

Place all ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Add a bit more water if it's too thick for your liking.

SLB INSTANT MATCHA MILK

LaurenBoggi.jpg
slb_matchamilk.jpg

This week I'm sharing my instant matcha milk - a quick and easy, dairy-free cashew milk matcha that's made in the blender. I love matcha. It provides a delicious nutrient-rich energy boost pre and post-SLB. And it has so many amazing benefits. It gives you the zip of coffee without raising your heart rate. It also keeps you satiated and works as a fat blocker by blocking the ability of digestive enzymes to break down fat, a step necessary for fat to enter our cells. So instead of absorbing and storing the fat, it gets passed through the body. Matcha is also rich in chlorophyll, which alkalizes and detoxifes the blood. By increasing its pH, the body has a better chance of getting more oxygen and nutrients to cells for healing. I notice that my skin looks more radiant and I feel revitalized when I drink it regularly.

SIMPLIFYING HYDRATION

Two Glasses of Water, Irving Penn (1970)

Two Glasses of Water, Irving Penn (1970)

If there is one health myth that will not die, it is this: You should drink eight glasses of water a day. Guess what? There is no science behind it. Personally, I’ve always had hydration guilt because I’ve never in my life drank eight a day, every single day. And that’s something to feel good about. As with everything, is not always about the numbers. I’ve always tried to keep go by how my body feels and not complicate hydration.

According to most doctors, we should listen to our bodies and shouldn't drink more than our body wants. Similar to when we eat, the body tells us when we’re full by taking that exhale. The discomfort we feel when we drink too much water is a protective mechanism to prevent over-hydration. Water intoxication is a real but rare phenomenon that occurs due to an excessive intake of water (usually during exercise), when the amount of water intake exceeds that of water excretion by the kidneys. As a result, the sodium concentration in the blood is diluted, and hyponatremia develops. When this happens, your body's water levels rise, and your cells begin to swell.

Working out aside, how much water should we aim for day-to-day? It’s really all about your lifestyle. Going off our own thirst is the best way to judge how much we need. Just like diet, it’s an individual thing and it all comes down to water in, water out. If you’re doing an intense SLB Cardio + Sculpt workout for example, you’re going to want more water and your body will tell you that. Those who break a sweat will crave more water and the same rule goes with food. By eating a balanced diet high in water-dense fruits and veggies, we’ll achieve about 20-40% of our daily water needs through food. Yet another reason to eat those collard wraps!

SLB GREEN DETOX SMOOTHIE

LaurenBoggi.jpg

I start every day with our SLB Green Detox Smoothie. It’s a great way to get more veggies, healthy fats, and protein into your life, and its NOT a sugar bomb. Where's the fruit? Fruit is healthy, but you'll notice that this recipe along with all of our smoothie recipes are low glycemic (under 20g of sugar) to keep your blood sugar balanced and body better.

Ingredients
1 cup filtered h20
1 heaping handful of kale
1 " " spinach
1 small cucumber
1/3 - 1/2 c. broccoli
1/2 - 3/4 c. parsley
1/4 avocado
knob of ginger
juice of 1 lg. or 2 sm. lemons
dash of cayenne
Ice

LB'S GLOW

LaurenBoggi.jpg

BTS of me tapping in-between shots. You guys ask me all the time how I get a lit from within glow. I work from the inside out by sweating everyday with SLB and I follow a low glycemic, whole foods diet but I also take my skincare really seriously. A few key products that I swear by:

Shani Darden Retinol Reform is key to keeping my skin glowing and exfoliated without irritation or dryness.
Adipeau Fat Balance Activator plumps. I use it as a sleeping mask nightly.
Deesse Pro Mask Next Generation (via Shani Darden) - I rely on red + blue light therapy daily for anti-aging and treating acne rosacea.

BETSY'S ACTIVATION RESULTS

BetsyActivation.JPG

SEVEN DAYS to vertical, musculoskeletal balance, -12.08”, and a healthier 🌱 diet. Meet @bootsycollins810 from Philly. This was B’s 9th Activation with me and she is always my favorite postural analysis/people to “fix”...I swear that I do not make anyone stand wonky on day one!

We work from the inside out and my goal is always to balance her muscularly and take the edge off the bulk/mass. This lighting is not ideal but check out the space between her arms and her bikini bottoms. And her back! 🤯 Betsy has a stunning body and builds muscle easily. She works really hard, and is always up for HH & another workout. Betsy began her fitness journey with me back at Lithe. She currently takes group classes at @rippedphl, does personal training and also fits in Studio LB. Tbh, I can’t imagine a retreat without her. Swipe on IG for her results last year 12 wks post labral hip repair and us three years ago in Little Corn, Nicaragua.

Betsy is strong, very fit, and loves to be challenged on the beach and in-studio. Her challenges are relaxing her traps and balancing her back and hip mobility during core/floor work. Betsy lost 12.08 inches and I love that her entire body is much more balanced on day seven. I cant say that we always see eye to eye on rest days, but I get her type of ‘crazy’ and we have a great working relationship. I adore you, B! Can’t wait for the next one.

SLB GREEN SOUP

SLBGreenSoup.JPG

Our first SLB member recipe is a staple of mine. I always have this zucchini soup on hand and everyone in my house loves it. It’s incredibly rich, filling, nutritious, and nobody ever believes it’s dairy-free. Our weekly recipes will live in-Studio and will be accessible to SLB members only, but I will occasionally share them here on the blog.

SLB KITCHEN

LaurenBoggi.jpg

Welcome to the SLB kitchen! You guys know that I’ve been preaching for years that nutrition is 90%, and for the longest time I’ve been wanting to incorporate food into the mix in a bigger way. In addition to your weekly workouts, SLB members will now receive recipes each week that will live in-studio. Some will be my own and some will be from nutritionists, chefs and food partnerships. I’m so excited to help you guys reach your goals!.
