    A little intro about me

    Hi, I’m Michelle, creator of Diet and Fries, where healthy living meets real life. I’m Gen X and part of the hybrid generation, blending cultures and flavors in everyday life. I grew up eating Filipino and Asian food, and living in California means I also enjoy Mexican and American food. That mix is exactly what you’ll find here, simple, easy recipes inspired by real life. I share quick meals for busy schedules, affordable food ideas, and easy workouts at home or at the gym. My approach is all about balance, following an 80 20 lifestyle that focuses on nutritious meals, staying active, and still enjoying the foods you love. If you’re looking for easy recipes, balanced lifestyle tips, and realistic wellness routines that feel doable, you’re in the right place.

    this might be my new go-to… 🍓🍵

    super easy to make at home too

    Ingredients:

    • 1/4 cup frozen strawberries

    • 1/3 cup milk (for matcha)
    • 1 tsp matcha powder

    👉 Optional add:

    • honey or maple syrup (if you want it sweeter)

    If you’re looking for something refreshing but don’t want another coffee, this strawberry matcha latte is such a good one to try. It’s light, a little creamy, and not overly sweet, with just the right balance of fruity and earthy flavors.

    I didn’t think strawberry and matcha would work together at first, but this combo is actually so good and really easy to make at home. It’s perfect for warmer days or when you want something different from your usual routine.
