  • Overnight Steel Cut Oats Muesli

    Did you know you can have overnight oats with steel cut oats?  You can eat them raw.  Just need to soak ’em and soften ’em! It’s a truly terrific way to start your day.  This little bowl of goodies is so darn filling! 

  • 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…

  • Maple Pecan Breakfast Truffles

    Happy Friday, folks!I was a little preoccupied with my new job earlier this week – just nerves of starting, making sure I had all my little ducks in a row, and celebrating the start! Then I found myself with an unexpected four day weekend!  Hoorah!  I am so excited. Yesterday was spent being thoroughly lazy.  The…

  • 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…

  • Lots o’ Dried Blueberries Granola

    Whew.  Hump day’s over. I don’t know about you, but I had a particularly never-ending day, which isn’t really like me.  Maybe it’s because I didn’t really get my relaxation on this weekend, or maybe it’s just because I’m a little moody.  But I’m so happy this day has finally ended.  I also have fantastic…

  • 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…

  • Tofu Huevos Rancheros (w/ the Vegg)

    Happy Friday, folks! I have an exciting post for you today that is long overdue.  I was really fortunate to receive a sample of this awesome product – The Vegg.  It is a vegan egg yolk.  Just mix with water. Guys, I cannot tell you how awesome this is.  I promise I’m not saying it…

  • 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 🙂

  • Papaya Lime Banana Smoothie

    Time for the spring and summer smoothies to start coming back!  This weekend was an amazing moment of summer – I fit in a bike ride, kayak trip, outdoor dive bar, and a couple little walks.  And a splotchy ridiculous sunburn (stupid spray-on sunscreen!), dehydration, and overall forgetting how to prepare for such fun activities.
