How I Stopped Binge Eating

Reading Time: 6 minutes Hey everyone! Update on the...

Hi there! My name is Hannah Updegraff. Welcome to my wellness blog where I combine my food and feelings! I’m the content creator, recipe developer, chef, and photographer behind the Heartbeet. I’m NYC based, drink matcha every morning, and love to travel. On my blog, you will find plant-based recipes that are gluten-free and dairy-free. I also share my relationship to food and how it’s evolved into something beautiful. ♡

run run run as fast as you can! this is my new and

run run run as fast as you can! this is my new and improved recipe for my infamous matcha men! last year I adapted a gingerbread cookie recipe and it was much more difficult to make. this one is super easy and 100% created by me. I love matcha men because they are mean and green yet sweet and a little spicy. the perfect treat for this holiday season! also egg free and vegan (っ˘ڡ˘ς)

MATCHA MEN

DRY INGREDIENTS

♡ 1/4 cup coconut sugar
♡ 1 cup gf flour
♡ 1 tbsp matcha powder
♡ 1 tbsp flax meal
♡ 1/2 tsp baking soda
♡ 1/4 tsp of sea salt
♡ 1 tsp ground ginger
♡ 1 tsp cinnamon
♡ 1/4 teaspoon all spice

WET INGREDIENTS

♡ 1/4 cup applesauce
♡ 1/2 cup maple
♡ 1 tsp vanilla extract
♡ 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted

INSTRUCTIONS

♡ preheat oven to 350 degrees
♡ mix dry ingredients in a large bowl
♡ mix wet ingredients into another bowl
♡ add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir. eventually mix with your hands and form into a ball of dough.
♡ put ball of dough into the large bowl and cover in the fridge for 30 minutes
♡ clean counter and sprinkle AP GF flour onto it. get dough and sprinkle flour onto it so it doesn’t stick to the rolling pin/counter.
♡ roll out dough until it’s pretty thin. get cookie cutter and cut out matcha man.
♡ place matcha man onto parchment on a baking tray and put in oven for 10 minutes. when you take them out, strain some matcha over them!

NOTES

♡ dough may be a bit sticky at first. in this case add more flour. In the opposite case, wet hands but not too much. slowly dampen or dry dough until it’s the most workable.

my go-to meal these days 🥰🌸

I eat mostly plants but I consider myself to be a flexitarian. salmon is one food that has helped my depression. It always gives me so much energy and it makes me feel the most productive. I love the combination with fresh and spicy flavors too! spicy salmon boats are the best (っ˘ڡ˘ς)

♡ vegan sage pasta sauce ♡

made this recipe a little while ago and probably going to shoot it again. I was going to wait for when I had bright light but here we are haha. it’s super creamy and sagey and it looks green here because I used it on GF spinach pasta. It’s normally a beige tone. this recipe is for about a bowl so if you’re making it for the whole pasta, double the batch.

♡ INGREDIENTS ♡

♡ 2 tablespoons of olive oil
♡ a dash of sea salt
♡ 1 garlic, minced
♡ 1 handful of sage, thinly sliced (chiffonade then rough chop)
♡ 1/4 cup rice milk
♡ a squeeze of lemon juice
♡ 1 small spoon of tahini
♡ 1 tsp of nutritional yeast

♡ INSTRUCTIONS ♡

♡ heat up olive oil in a pan with garlic and sage. cook for a minute or two. the key is to get a fragrant smell from the sage.
♡ add the rest of the ingredients and stir until emulsified (the lemon is crucial for this).
♡ pour over fresh pasta and enjoy ☺️

you don’t have to be healed in order to be helpf

you don’t have to be healed in order to be helpful (to yourself and even others). you can still have a purpose while figuring it all out. I used to see purpose as this huge thing that I would attain in the future. something that would someday happen when everything is ‘just right.’ but in this mindset it’s really easy to let life pass by without soaking up the richness of it. what is something you can do to stay in purpose today? it doesn’t matter how big or small as long as it’s with intention and love. It could be...

♡ making that phone call
♡ speaking up for yourself
♡ moving your body
♡ eating something that gives you energy
♡ showing up to that thing despite all of the doubt
♡ checking something off your to-do list
♡ making a to-do list
♡ saying “no” to something that isn’t serving you anymore
♡ saying “yes” to whatever makes your heart happy
♡ putting your health first

whatever your daily purpose is, follow your heart. the mess always reveals answers.

ps. love drinking matcha every morning and looking out my window. it makes me inspired for the day. 🍵🌥

I put this beetiful cheese in the heartbeet salad, but it’s also really amazing with hemp seeds on top with sesame crackers. It’s packed with vitamins and minerals and has a beautiful hue to brighten up any salad, veggie, or cracker 💖 ps. my sister said it’s fire 🔥 go give it a try - recipe in the link in bio 🥰

♡ your vibes speak louder than your words ♡

this is something I read in @gabbybernstein book. It has always stuck with me. there used to be times when I would just have these weird feelings about things but not really any solid evidence to back it up. I would think “well I don’t have any evidence.” but the truth is that I did. my evidence is my intuition and this quote really put that into words for me. if there’s a feeling that you’re getting that you can’t explain, go with it. you have your own best advice. and if everything feels like a mess, it’s really just pushing you closer to your purpose. follow your intuition - go with your gut. it will never mislead you.

pictured: my daily mint matcha pre-blended 🍵🍃maybe I should just start calling this intuitive matcha haha

♡ having myself a fresh little salad 🥗 on this hot ☀️ day. I love making recipes for my blog and through blogging I’ve discovered what recipes I like to make the most: green recipes with plants. making too many sweet (well, sugary) recipes make me feel sick, so I’m going to go with what my body loves the most 🥰 intuitive eating is what makes me happiest, so it’s what I share 💗💗💗 what makes you happy? #theheartbeet #greens #greenrecipe #saladrecipe #berrysalad #vitamins #eatrealfood #intuitiveeatingjourney #intuitiveeater #dowhatsbestforyou #intuitiveeating #trustyourintuition

♡ I’m an ENFP on Meyers and a 4 on enneagram and a gemini too
♡ my favorite color is pink if you couldn’t already tell

♡ I’ve always felt very emotional. I cry a lot (I laugh a lot too) and sometimes feel like I have this heavy stone in my chest.. this is why I call my blog the heartbeet. It’s everything I feel within but I wear my heart on my sleeve.
♡ I used to keep my emotions inside more and now I let them out and do not feel shame from it. the truth is the real freedom

♡ cruciferous crust ♡

I love pizza sooo much, but it hurts my stomach so bad. I’ve always been a little allergic to dairy and sensitive to gluten and bready things so this is why I made the cruciferous crust! I can still have my craving and still feel good! this is a part of my intuitive eating ٩(^ᴗ^)۶ I experimented with a ton of different cauliflower crust recipes and I like the extra flavor the broccoli gives it. Not to mention the mean and green colour 💸 the recipe is in the link in bio on my blog and look out for my stories today for a little cooking show I put together starring me and my delirious quarantined self. Spoiler alert: (っ˘ڡ˘ς)🍕✨
