Can we just talk about green smoothies for a minute?? Green smoothies are everything. Once you make green smoothies a part of your routine, I guarantee you will notice when you don't have. They are often my go-breakfast...a quick superfood meal, the best healing + recovery if I’m not feeling well or my feels feels out of balance, if I'm doing a full body detox, or if I notice my skin is looking dry and not-so-vibrant. They are the easiest way to pack raw greens into your diet

Women are busy. We’re superheroes, really, balancing marriage/relationships, kids, careers/businesses, the household, the meals, family, friends, appointments, the social calendar…I can go on and on. While being a superhero is impressive and honorable, it’s not uncommon at the end of the day, when all (or some) of the boxes on the to-do list are checked — the family is fed, the dishes are done, and the kids are asleep — there isn’t much energy left for ourselves.

Whipping up super tasty dishes is fun...we all want mouthwatering food, but if health is our priority, we want to ensure we are getting the most out of our food nutritionally, as well. Healthy food that tastes great is actually possible. Why not strive to craft and create delicious dishes that are packed with the most nutrient-dense, healing and nourishing foods nature has to offer. Like I always say...eat for w

Hi there! So we are on day 5 of our full body detox, by Dherbs, which is a 21-day raw program with an herbal regimen that cleanses all the systems in the body. I do this cleanse at least once every year. My husband finally got on board to try it last year and was committed to doing it again this year. (Proud wife moment!) It definitely can be intense and challenging your first few times. But as a veteran to this detox and being someone who is very seasoned to preparing raw fo

Let’s talk about grocery shopping!!! Continuing our conversation on time and scheduling in meal prep, we know that grocery shopping is an important part of this process. Once you have your nutrition plan or meal plan and you know your macros, it’s much easier to plan what you are going to eat.
