Peach season is just about here and I need to share the recipe for my favorite green smoothie ever – it’s called Mint Julep Sweet Tea. The recipe comes from Simple Green Smoothies: 100+ Tasty Recipes To Lose Weight, Gain Energy, and Feel Great in Your Body. This vibrant green smoothie is just what you need this summer to beat the summer heat! I was lucky to be able to work on the photography, design, […]
One of my favorite things to do is develop new smoothie recipes, especially if they are green smoothies. I work closely with one of my favorite companies, Simple Green Smoothies, on recipe development as well as photos and videos. So on any given day, you’ll find my fridge full of various leafy greens and a freezer full of fruit. Not a bag gig! For my own purposes, I wanted to develop a recipe for an […]
Years ago when I was living in New York, I discovered chia seeds. I can’t remember why I bought them, or how I’d heard about them. But in any case, I bought a bag and we started using them, and never looked back. There’s always a bag in my cupboard now. I hadn’t actually thought about that until I was whipping up this Apple Cider Chia Fresca. I couldn’t remember a time when chia seeds weren’t […]
Okay, I know. It’s fall. This totally screams summer…and totally not fall. Now if this were pumpkin, there would be no problem. But it’s still September. Our weather has been all across the board and yesterday, if you can believe it, it was just shy of 90°F. WHAT?! And today is the same. I love it. I’m going to soak in every last drop of that blazing hot weather. Though, I admit it: I totally […]
Monday is the 4th of July here in the U.S. It’s always been one of my favorite holidays – the early morning pancake breakfasts, the laid back lunch at the pool or beach, evening BBQs, and of course, the fireworks. But mostly, I guess, for me it’s all about the fun food and drinks. I’ve teamed up again with Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice to create two festive cocktails for the 4th of July using their newest juice, […]
This healthy, vibrant strawberry smoothie is perfect for breakfast! Called “Pink Sunrise” it will brighten up your morning and get it off to a good start! I’ve never been one to apologize for being absent over here on the blog. Life happens and sometimes blogging has to wait a bit. But I somehow can’t believe it’s been six weeks or so since I last shared a recipe. That seems like forever in blog years! To […]
Oh, boy! Have I got a kickin’ juice recipe for you! It’s been awhile since I shared a fresh juice recipe with you. I go back and forth between fresh juice and smoothies. I think there’s room in my heart for both. But ultimately, I’m drinking one or the other every day. This Turmeric Beet Juice is like the ultimate cleanse juice. Each ingredient helps aid your body in its natural detoxification process. It is […]
Peaches and rosemary were made for each other. It’s as simple as that. I love peaches. I love rosemary. Put them together, and I’m head over heels for it, no matter what it is. As I’ve been dreaming up new ways to eat peaches (like it’s my full-time job), the idea came to me a few weeks ago to make an iced tea infused with rosemary and sweetened with fresh peach puree and a touch […]
On a whim, I sought out a pick-your-own farm near where we live because I have been craving fresh blackberries. They are plentiful in the produce section at the supermarket right now, but those aren’t the berries that make dreams come true. Last summer I picked wild blackberries in Washington State on the side of the road near my great-aunt’s home. They were some of the best I’ve ever eaten. A few weeks ago we found […]
I’m so happy to be part of this super fun #Milkshakeweek in partnership with some of my favorite blogger friends. I am sharing a yummy recipe for a non-dairy, vegan milkshake. There has been no shortage of ice cream in its many forms around my house this summer. I want to feel guilty about that, but you know, SUMMER. My kids are delighted with their once-a-day cone after being at the pool all day. This […]
