I’m always trying new recipes and working on ideas for healthy, quick lunches. Tuna is so easy because you can buy it and store it in your pantry without worrying about it going bad for a while. I tend to stock up on tuna because you never know when you’ll want to use it. Whether it’s lunch or dinner, it’s an easy “go to” if you’re in a pinch or even if you just want some delicious tuna.
Read MoreStuffed peppers are always a favorite in my house so I decided to whip up a grain-free batch with a ton of flavor. I am grain-free in my household for various reasons but I assure you – these are hearty and delicious. You’ll never miss the grains with the beans and corn that have been incorporated in.
Read MoreBone broth is all the rage right now and for good reason. It’s benefits go way beyond a delicious, homemade stock for cooking. Your joints and immune system may benefit as well as your skin, metabolism and gut. Although, it seems as if it’s the miracle superfood, don’t go out and buy bone broth just yet. You’ll benefit much more from the REAL stuff made at home (or a reputable company) rather than the store bought varieties that may have additives, excessive sodium, artificial colors and other chemicals.
Read MoreThese are my new FAVORITE cookies. They are a definite go to when I want something sweet but without all of the sugar load and the grains that other cookie recipes have. Over the last few years, I’ve discovered that I’m pretty carbohydrate sensitive. For that reason, I’ve tried to avoid any refined sugars at all cost (the occasional indulgence is bound to happen) as well as most refined grains. I still want to enjoy food and enjoy my favorites – just without the junk.
Read MoreOne of the easiest ways to pack a meal full of nourishing superfoods is through an easy to make superfood shake. What do I mean by a superfood shake? In my definition, superfoods are whole foods that offer a high amount of nutrient density – vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants, lean protein, healthy fats, fiber, healthy carbs, etc.
The superfood protein smoothie is one that contains protein (animal or plant), a healthy source of fat (nuts, coconut oil, seeds) and a healthy dose of veggies and fruit. It can be a fantastic way to get a balanced meal or snack without a ton of prep work or clean up – a win win!
Read MoreWe love a super shake – you can pack a ton of nutrients into a convenient, easy to make shake! They’re great for breakfast, lunch, a meal on the go or even a snack. We’ve got four super shake recipes for you plus a super easy way to prep them ahead of time so you can grab, blend and go. Not only are the healthy and delicious but they’re all gluten free too!
Read MoreWho doesn’t love a healthier dessert, right? Life is all about balance and what’s a balanced lifestyle without something sweet here and there? If you’re looking for something delicious without as much of the sugar and or other additives, this quinoa brittle is a great alternative.
Read MoreAre you trying to eat healthier? Do you need good nutrition in your life? Our guests at our fitness retreat talk often about adopting a better nutrition plan or offer up “I really need to eat better when I get home” statements. Hey – we’re ALL FOR healthier eating but there are some gaps in what it means.
Fitness trainers, nutritionists, health coaches and other industry professionals love to use terms like “good nutrition.” So it’s no wonder there’s confusion. If experts talk like this, it has to mean something, right? But what exactly does good nutrition mean…
Read MoreAre you struggling to understand how much food is enough for you? Whether you’re trying to lose weight or fuel for a particular sport, it’s important to be in tune with your body so that you’re getting the right amount of energy though the food you eat. Appetite awareness is another method in how we can understand how much food you should eat.
Read MoreIt’s no secret that meal prep is a huge factor when it comes to success in healthy eating. Getting prepared is the number one way to stay on track during the week. But, what does meal prep actually consist of and how can you do it without spending hours on this type of task?
Most people already know what a healthy, balanced meal looks like. (Ideas below.) It’s having a system in place for easy access to balanced meals that sets you up for success.
Read MoreHow many times have you started out your day “intending” to eat healthy? For Example, you wake up in the morning, prepare a healthy protein shake loaded with all of the superfoods you can think of and drive to work. You’re proud because you’re so prepared today. You’re walking into the office and figure you’ll drink your shake once you get to your desk and then it happens… you walk into the break room to grab coffee and say hi to your coworkers and on the table are 18 boxes of donuts! So you grab a donut and eat it quickly while walking back to your desk…
Read MoreSpring is here! That means it’s time for delicious fresh vegetables and fruits filling local farmer’s markets and grocery stores. In addition, it’s time to break out the grill! There’s nothing better than a meal made from fresh, local produce and organic meats or fish from the local fish market. This salad is easy to put together (bonus!) and incorporate some crisp, fresh ingredients to help welcome Spring.
