A bit about Valerie – aka: Coco

Living a healthy, clean & active life - using a paleo lifestyle as my template. I love to cook using real, whole foods from proper sources, as well as bake sweet treats for my never-ending sweet tooth! CrossFit is my 'drug of choice' :) And running is my meditation time. If I'm not in the kitchen, you'll find me with my hubby/family - enjoying life!

Hanging with my kids is one of my favorite things

Hanging with my kids is one of my favorite things to do!

You raise them and hope that they turn out to be decent human beings. And then they are grown ….and way beyond decent!

It’s so fun to now be friends with my “kids” and enjoy their special qualities within each one of them!

Mother’s Day was so fun trying to get to the Hollywood sign. I have been to the sign …so I wasn’t really caring about the destination- I was fully enjoying the journey with Kylie and Dustin! Colie stayed back with her own kids. We missed her but totally understand that she is now a momma too!

I am truly thankful and blessed! 💛

Lots and LOTS of new faces here - so I thought I would take a sec & tell you a little about myself! 👋🏼

First of all (for the original followers), as you can see - I am not spazicoco anymore - well, still a spaz but ….name changed to ‘a daily dose of coco’! So it IS me! Stay put 😉

New peeps here …THANK YOU for following and catching my daily doses of life!

I’m a happy wife, momma of 3 grown adults and 2 adorable granddaughters!

I live in So Cal and LOVE to be outdoors. Favorite weekend past times are babysitting M&M, riding bikes, walking at the beach, hikes and hanging with friends and family!

I’m 57 going on 37 🤗 I follow a paleo lifestyle and have for about 11+ years …and have never felt better!

I rewrite groceries lists if they are too messy (and yes, I still use pen and paper!).

I don’t wear tennis shoes unless I’m working out - it’s usually sandals, flats, booties or boots 😉

I love my coffee & piece of dark chocolate every single day!

I like living a healthy lifestyle by way of food, safer products and daily movement! 🌟

I am called Coco because mannnnny years ago (1980ish), when my first niece was born - being the only dark one, in a sea of blondes - they gave me a special name of Coco ….and it stuck!! And since I’m a dark chocoholic, it worked!

I was hacked at my other IG of cocospaleokitchen and lost all my photos, videos and 54k+ followers 😩 I made so many wonderful connections and miss it! I decided to just remain positive and move on …so this IG migrated into a combo of both spazicoco and cpk! If you’re a cpk follower- yay!!! Glad you made it here 💛

I’m happy you’re all following along and allowing daily doses of me to trickle into your lives! Please message with any questions or comment away 🤩 I love to connect with all of you!

Pinch of salt
2 large ripe bananas

In another bowl, mix flours, coconut sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Whisk together. Then add to the banana bowl and mix til incorporated.

Make the topping in a small bowl, using a fork to smash all ingredients together.

I love this!

I instantly thought of our mentorship group - and how everyone is so supportive of one another …cheering each other on. There isn’t a detection of a competition from person to person.

I do however, compete within myself and strive to meet goals that surpasses my last goal!

No one else is my competitor, but me. While I silently compete within myself & strive to hit my goals …….I will also be cheering you on, celebrating your victories!

Whether it’s in business, in school, in the gym ….whatever it may be - be your own competitor & improve on you, based on where you once were! You really are the only person you need to impress!

Do you even collagen? Did you know we stop produci

Do you even collagen? Did you know we stop producing collagen naturally, in our 20’s??!!

OK! So I have been taking collagen for yeeeeaaars but in powdered form. Fast forward to a couple of months ago, I decided to checkout this liquid BioCell collagen and was AMAZED!

Not only did I not have any joint pain, I saw hair growth in areas that weren’t growing (temple area) AND my hair stopped shedding as much! I also noticed and felt my skin being more supple, as well as nail growth (too much! 😬) and strength.

Another huge bonus by adding in the Trim BioCell collagen, was that my middle area was less bloated & I began seeing ab muscles 🙌🏼
**Trim has the same amount of collagen & hyaluronic acid as the other BioCell’s BUT has added CLA to inhibit dat storage and use fat, as well as promote lean muscle mass.

The Trebiotics are added in to help with my gut health. Our gut is our 2nd brain and literally reacts to all the things we put in and on our bodies! We need (yes, NEED) to make sure our gut is in check to keep us healthy AND WELL! The Trebiotics has pre, post and probiotics all in one scoop!

Do you want to thrive in life? Are you ready to feel good? Let’s thrive together as well as grow old gracefully 💛

Click link in bio and tap the ‘My Daily Dose’ tab and check out these products. You can most certainly delete anything from the cart (I added the Trim + Life bundle as it saves a few dollars buying it that way …but there are also single bottles in the cart too). Message me with any questions!

**edited as I misspoke in video - Trim has the exact same amount of type 2 collagen & hyaluronic acid as all of our BioCell collagens - but has added CLA!

I cooked 3 eggs, 3 sausages and spinach for my hub

I cooked 3 eggs, 3 sausages and spinach for my hubby and I. Why didn’t I make 4??? Well …here’s why ➡️ there were only 3 @pedersonsfarms spicy breakfast sausage left in the package & there were only 3 eggs left in my carton …so I went with it (I have unopened, of each …but ‘eh’ …let’s just divvy up what’s opened)!

Hubby got 2 eggs and one sausage and I got one egg and 2 sausages!!!! I think I WON! 😉

Scooped up the yolk that runneth into the spinach with a @mikeys cassava tortilla!

That’s what was for breakfast 😋 What was on your plate?

Easy like Sunday morning ✨ I’m battling some

Easy like Sunday morning ✨

I’m battling some crazy allergies & sitting here, with my head back to keep my nose from dripping, is all I need/should do right now!

I really don’t like to give in to things - I like to be up and about but I try to tell myself, what I would tell others ….and that is, “It’s ok to give in and be still!”

So. I’m enjoying this moment, in hopes that steering clear of the outdoors today, will help my allergies relax a bit!

What am I doing for my allergies?? I’m diffusing frankincense, doubling up on vitamin c, rubbing ‘Breathe’ essential oil on my chest and now, just vegging with my Buttercup in lap!

So here’s to a nice relaxing day! Enjoy yours, no matter how you spend it!
