Dill Tuna Cucumber Boats

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.

You probably know by now, but maintaining a healthy + strong core is one of the best things you can do for your body.

Whether you’re playing a sport or doing a household activity, all of these necessary motions are either generated from the core or they move through it. It’s obviously pretty important to have a strong core!

Homemade Bone Broth Recipe

Bone 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.

Superfood Chocolate Chip Cookies

These 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.

5 Superfood Protein Smoothie Recipes

One 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!
