These little bite-sized protein balls are not only raw and vegan, but they only take 10 minutes to make (no baking required!) and they're so tasty! I just made them for the first time a few weeks ago and I've been hooked ever since. They're a great pre-workout boost since they're loaded with protein from oats, [...]
One of the reasons many of us struggle with maintaining a clean diet is lack of time. Daily meal preparation can be extremely time consuming, which I think is why a lot of us end up purchasing store-bought food – because it’s faster and easier than slaving in the kitchen after a long day of [...]
This watermelon vodka slush is the best summer cocktail ever! You only need 3 ingredients - watermelon, ice and watermelon flavored vodka. Not only is it super easy, but considering it's primarily made with fresh fruit, it's pretty healthy compared to other cocktails. This is my go-to drink when I'm looking for something fun to [...]
Have you ever had chocolate peanut butter Luna bars? Well now you can make your own rice crispy protein bars at home, with only 5 ingredients! I recommend using brown rice crispies for a healthier version, but if that isn't available to you, regular rice crispy cereal works just fine. Barbara's and Nature's Path make a [...]
I've been dabbling with a lot of keto-friendly brands lately, mainly because it would be great to be able to eat bread and pasta again without all the carbs. I've tried a few cauliflower-based brands that I wasn't crazy about, but this weekend, I discovered the motherlode of all things low-carb: THIN SLIM FOODS. GUYS. [...]
Ever since I was a little kid, cereal has always been my favorite food. Even in high school, my stepfather used to joke and ask my mom if I ever ate anything besides cereal. Unfortunately, I stopped eating it in my 20's due to the carb bloat I would get around my midsection from all [...]
So, I’m trying the Keto diet. Which I’m sure you’ve heard of, since it’s all the rage right now. (If you haven’t, the short version is that it focuses on a high fat, low carb diet so that you’re body burns fat.) The real reason I’m trying it isn’t because I’m trying to lose weight, [...]
I published a post recently on my favorite keto brands, which includes everything from keto bread, bagels and pasta to keto-friendly chocolate and sweeteners. So now that we have the keto-friendly ingredients, what recipes do we make with them? As a vegetarian, high-protein diets can be a little tricky, but they're not as hard as [...]
Last year, as my mid-30's came creeping around the corner, I started noticing things about my skin that I had never noticed before. Did I always have under eye bags? And forehead lines? And loose skin in the middle of my neck? I've always had good skin, so it wasn't something I really paid attention [...]
Confession: I found a similar Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe on TikTok (anyone else addicted?) and decided to alter the ingredients to make it a keto-friendly version! At first I thought there was no way you could make flourless cookies that taste great with only 5 ingredients, but I have to say, they came [...]
This burrito bowl is one of my favorite lunch dishes, and it's so simple to throw together. You're welcome to use any kind of cheese for the topping. My personal favorite topping is crumbled goat cheese, but shredded light cheddar or part-skim mozzarella are both great choices, and those on a vegan diet can use [...]
You know when you go to a food blog and you have to scroll FOREVER until you reach the actual recipe? Photos, pop-up ads, paragraphs about their weekend plans... Yeah I don't do that. That was one of the reasons I created this blog. I wanted everything to be quick and easy - not only [...]
If you’re anything like me, then you’ve had those nights when you’ve snacked a little too much in front of the TV... and those mornings when you wake up to find a little pouch has replaced your formerly flat stomach. (Confession: I love to snack at night. Which -I know- is the worst time to [...]
This Raspberry Lime Rickey cocktail recipe got a photo makeover this weekend! I made a batch of these for a friend's bachelorette party on Saturday and they were the perfect poolside drink. :) Raspberry Lime Rickeys are one of my favorite cocktails because they're only about 120 calories and 6g of sugar per drink. Soda water is [...]
I'm always on the hunt for new healthy snack ideas, especially ones that contain minimal ingredients and no added sugar. Behold: homemade fruit roll-ups! With only 1 ingredient required: fruit! Which means these are not only super easy to make, but they have no added sugar, and are 100% all-natural! Now if you'd like to [...]
