Superfood Smoothie Boosters

So why bother adding superfoods to your smoothie? I mean.. smoothies are already packed with fruits and veggies which are pretty healthy all on their own. But I guess I'm more along the lines of why not? Superfoods pack a lot of nutritional punch in small doses, so adding a little goes a long way! I definitely suggest using a ... Read More

30 Days of Yoga and Green Smoothies

For January I made 2 really big (for me) resolutions - the first is that I was going to drink a green smoothie everyday without exception, and the second was that I signed up for 30 days of Yoga Camp with Adrienne.

Lemon Mint Spa Water

The combination of lemon and mint is incredibly refreshing, especially on a hot day. We've been making pitcher after pitcher of this spa water all summer long.

From Farm to Table

I've always had an interest in where my food comes from, and I think it comes from having a garden my whole life! Everywhere we lived when I was a kid, my parents put in a garden even if it was just a small patch. Once you've had fresh garden produce, it's hard to go back - nothing tastes as ... Read More

Healthy Eating While Traveling

Healthy eating when you're traveling can be really difficult, depending on where you're going. Last fall, we did some hiking and sight seeing through the Canadian Rockies, and I found the food situation to be challenging at times. I ended up going with whatever was available, especially in the more remote locations, and I came home pretty sick (and determined ... Read More
