Naan bread is a great side dish for so many meals. It is also super easy to make! Try this healthy version and tell me what you think!
You will need just a few ingredients to make this bread. You need self-rising flour, non-fat greek yogurt, salt and garlic powder (optional). Easy peasy, right?!
Self-rising flour
Add 1 3/4 cup self-rising flour to a bowl.
Non-fat Greek yogurt
Then add 1 cup of non-fat greek yogurt.
Last thing you will add is 1/4 tsp salt & garlic powder.
Mix ingredients together to create a dough ball. Divide dough into 6-7 pieces and then form into small circles or rectangles.
Cook on the stove top over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side.
This recipe makes about 7 naan breads. You can make more or less depending on the size you create.
Muffins can be a very popular item to grab for breakfast, but most muffins are FULL of sugar, fat and calories! I have a healthier version for you to try!

I’ve got a second gift guide for you, but this one is nutrition focused! These are all things I love and use ALL the time!
Let’s start with coffee! Who doesn’t love a nice cup of coffee? Too many coffees these days have pesticides sprayed on them, mold and less than ideal coffee beans. I found a brand I love called Purity. The coffee is pesticide & mold free, organic, and part of the rainforest alliance group. You can get a light, medium, or dark roast and even decaf!
If coffee is not your thing, I have a great tea for you! I have been using this organic tea for years! The brand is Teecino, and they have a variety of flavors to choose from. You can get tea bags or coffee like tea.
Let’s switch gears and talk about protein powders. I have a few favorites to share! First up is Clean Simple Eats! They have awesome flavors, and have now added pancake mix! I love their nut butters too!
Another favorite is Pro Dough Bakery. They have awesome protein powders, cupcake & crepe mixes, pancake mixes and my all time favorite donut mixes. All gluten free and minimal ingredients! Use my code: Juliejonesfitness to save money!
Here is another mix I use daily, Mix Hers. I love their HerTime mix and hydrate & boost! So delicious and a daily dose of vitamins! If you shop now, you can save 30% with code: juliej30
The last thing I will share is my love for Thrive Market. Thrive market is an online store that delivers food straight to your door! I love it! I order my vitamins through them, pantry items, and pet items. If you have never checked it out, it’s a great way to shop & save money!

Can you believe that Christmas is almost here?! Have you started shopping yet? Here are a few ideas for the fitness fantastic in your life or for yourself 😊.
First we will start off with basic & affordable gifts:
Foam roller
Foam rollers are great! They help with muscle recovery and increasing flexibility. they are very affordable too! Check this one out for $10.99.
Resistance bands are great for traveling, using as an alternative to weights, and for adding extra resistance. They versatile bands are an easy gift for only $12.99.
Another great accessory to have on hand is a fabric Glute band. These bands turn up the intensity on any lower body workout without skipping or rolling for just $18.99.
I love these! These weights can be used around your ankles or wrists. They are comfortable to wear and add extra fire to your workout. For $18.99 you can really turn things up!
Let’s move on to awesome accessories to have in your home gym that cost a little more.
Stability Ball
I use my stability ball often! I love using it for core work, lower body work, and back exercises. It is an essential in my home gym. You want to make sure to get the right size though. If you are over 5’7 in, get a 64 cm ball. If you are 5’6 & under, get a 55 cm ball. These balls are amazing for just $24.99.
Slant boards are a great tool for stretching your calf muscles, ankles, and Achilles tendon. I also love using mine for heel raises squats. There are many different kinds, but I love this one for only $34.99.
If you want the ability to work on pull ups or chin ups, this is a great option that does not take up much space. You can also use it for hanging core work or a dead hang to stretch your back. For $24.99 this is great to have. I use mine daily!
This is just a MUST have! If you want to build muscle, you need weights! I love these weights by Amazon Essentials. They have a comfortable grip and you can just buy the sizes you need or want. Prices vary based on size.
The kettlebell is a great option to have on hand for weight training. The handle has an easy grip and you can get them in various sizes. Prices vary by size.
I recently fell in love with my portable neck & back massager. It feels so good to sit and relax while this cute little device massages my core muscles. This is a real treat for only $34.99!
So obviously we need to wear clothes while we workout, and having something comfortable abs cute yo wear is important! I have tons of brands I love, but CRZ YOGA is the one I wear the most. Their ButterLuxe leggings are so soft! For $32.00 they are an awesome deal!
You can’t go wrong with their tanks either! I love the length of this one, which covers everything and has a built in sports bra! They have so many cute colors too! These tops are a great deal for $26.00!
Let’s move into items that really complete a home gym but cost a bit more. These are investment pieces that are worth it in my opinion.
Aerobic Step
An aerobic step has so many great uses from cardio to strength training. You can buy a simple step with adjustable feet to get the job done! This one is a great deal at $34.99!
If you want a step/bench that can give you a lot of options, this one is amazing! I have had mine for about 4 years now and love it! It can be an aerobic step and 2 heights, a bench that can incline & decline with a foam top on it. It is a bit more at $130.00, but you get a lot more too.
This bench by Spoxfit is fantastic! I have had mine for about 2 years and use it ALL the time! It can incline, decline, be flat and fold up to store! It’s a great bench that has a comfortable padding for just $119.99!
I can’t say enough good things about my plyo box! I love it and use it a lot! I love how stable it is for steps up and hip thrusts, and it is easy to move around. It also gives you 3 height options! For $59.99 you can’t go wrong!
This is on my wishlist this year! Walking pads are great for when the weather doesn’t allow you to get outside for a walk. It is small than a treadmill and costs a lot less, so it is a great option. You can also use it under a walking desk to get more movement in. The drawback is that you can only walk, but if you are like me and you don’t want to run, then this is a great piece of equipment! For $199.99 you can get a walk in from the comfort of your home without a huge price tag.
I hope these ideas help you shop for yourself or the fitness lover in your life. These are just a few of my favorites, but I would love to know your favorites too!
