HAPPY, HAPPY FRIDAY!!!! During the week, on my LissaLean Facebook page, I posted a picture of a recipe that unexpectedly I fell in love with. Completely regretted not making a double batch of it. Therefore, I felt it absolutely worthy of sharing with you: This dish packs a lot of nutritional punch and is […]
A few weeks ago on my Facebook page, I asked what people would like to know more about in regards to nutrition. One of my very disciplined and fit friends threw out the topic of IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros). As an excited and newly certified nutrition coach, I welcomed researching this topic and […]
GOOD MORNING!!!!!! It has been a long, long time since I’ve written, but let me explain. I had lost some general oomph and didn’t want to just blog to blog. I want to give you content that you can hopeful relate to. With that, I set out to educate myself. And I commited to not […]

Nonetheless, the lil’ wee in-between hours when I snack…that is where the damage occurs. When I say damage, I mean […]
A coworker the other day seemed disappointed I didn’t want to order a sub from the sandwich shop with her. She said, “You always bring your lunch! I’m trying to do that but what I bring is so boring!” Found out that her lunch packing skills consist of yogurt and some fresh fruit. That’s not […]
46 calories per truffle, 15-20 truffle balls per recipe…yes, please! This is just what us sweet tooth lovers are looking for: Lemon Ginger Truffle Balls!
