  • Mint & Cucumber Cooler Green Juice

    Quick juice recipe for you!  All summer long, I was drinking more smoothies than juices.  Which totally makes sense, it’s just what my body wanted.  But lately I’ve been missing my green juice habit, so I’m trying to get back into it!  I did some juice prep this weekend so I could make juicing a…

  • Beet & Berries Juice

    I mentioned in my weekend recap that I was craving beets last weekend.  Of course, I had to look up what nutrients are in beets – what health benefit do they have that I am lacking to give me such a craving?  Well, that smart body of mine must have known that beets help detox your…

  • Sweetened Condensed Soy Milk + Chai Coffee Latte

    There have been a lot of times when I’ve seen a recipe or wanted to make something and thought I’d really like to have sweetened condensed soy milk.  But when I saw this simple and delicious looking recipe for a chai spiced latte (with coffee, not tea) from Giada DeLaurentiis, it was more of a necessity. …

  • Blueberry Muffin Protein Smoothie

    A few days ago, I posted a picture of this smoothie on Instagram – if you follow me, you probably noticed how damn excited I was. This was an accidental creation that I am super proud of.  It was one of those mornings when I was running really late and wanted to make a fast smoothie…

  • Chocolate Chai Protein Shake

    Got a quick fantastic drink for you today!  I have been working on my own healthier vegan version of a Wendy’s frosty — this is not that recipe, it still needs to be perfected — but I’ve been going through some chocolate almond milk ice cubes in those recipe trials.  I’m also adding them to…

  • 100 Calorie Matcha Coconut Slushie

    Happy July 1st, folks!  I planned to do my final recap of my June Salad-a-Day Challenge today and post a salad recipe.  But I got home hot and thirsty and in need of a pre-dinner snack, so I whipped up this smoothie (the third day in a row I’ve made it) and decided the hot…

  • Busy Woman’s Matcha Latte

    Hi, internet friends!  How was your weekend?  Mine was fun, but a little bit busier than I expected!  Preston (the bf) and I babysat his niece and nephew for most of the weekend.  It was a pretty fun weekend filled with lake time, playgrounds, ice cream, and kids movies.  But it was a little ridiculous…

  • Busy Woman’s Iced Mocha

    GUYS, GUESS WHAT I did yesterday!!! I gave notice at work!  Yikes.  I got a great opportunity at a different firm.  I’ll be much more legit-lawyer than I am at my current job, so I’m really excited.  Plus mortified.  I have two different offices right now, so had to give notice to two bosses and…

  • Endless Energy Strawberry Rhubarb Smoothie

      I made a light summer-ready smoothie this weekend with two new experimental ingredients. First up is maca.  Want some serious energy from a natural source?  Done.  Maca is a root.  You can buy it raw sometimes, but it’s difficult to find.  You can also buy maca powder, which has been dried and ground.  Maca…

  • Carrot Pineapple OJ + Green Smoothie

    Quickie post today!   Just a wonderful juice recipe that is fantastically sweet and refreshing.  Perfect for a summer morning.   Then I blended it into a smoothie with some greens.  Hope you enjoy one of these summer treats to cool you down 🙂
