About

Meet Jaycee

I’m a registered dental hygienist currently living in Arizona with my husband, Ty. I’m OBSESSED with food and fitness and want to share all of my favorite things! Because life is so much better when you eat what you love and love how you feel✨

Hey friend!

I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Jaycee, the foodie and creator behind My Protein Pantry. I create protein-packed recipes that fuel your body and taste really good. Whether it’s a post-workout smoothie or a hearty dinner, I’m here to share easy, healthy ideas that fit into your busy life.

I started this blog because I believe healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring or complicated. I’m so excited to be a small part in your journey and hope you find lots of recipes you love!

When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll most likely find me at the grocery store (mostly kinda kidding), at the gym, on a walk, or sneaking in a good book.

I currently live in Arizona with my husband Ty and our son (our cat, Gus).

The only thing keeping you from what you want is your story about why you can’t have it.

FAQ

I created My Protein Pantry in October of 2023. Before that (around 2020-2021) I’d started a blog called “Simply Mindful Eats” that I never fully finished and ended up deleting. I’m so grateful I listened to my gut and took another chance!

99.9% of the time, I’m cooking one of my own recipes. I pull them up on my laptop to have right there while I cook! I would never post a recipe that I didn’t already love and make myself.

I am a registered dental hygienist and worked clinically before transitioning to a full time blogger/content creator.

For grocery, I love Walmart, Costco or Sprouts. For most (if not all) of my favorite kitchen tools, I love Amazon.
