First, enter my giveaway! Vega Shake ‘n Go, SunButter (donated), Dandy Blend, my (almost) famous and (almost) raw granola, and Kimberly Snyder’s new detox book! Second, check out my Guest Post at Healthy Heyday (and leave a comment for Jody Lynn!) Third: We began talking about weight and the overweight/obesity epidemic in my nutrition course, …
Because I’m feeling like I should reward myself for working hard, I thought I’d splurge on some of my favorite products…and I also have an offer from SunButter to give away one jar of their organic sunflower seed butter to one of my readers. As a result, I thought I’d pair some of my favorite …
I’ve been super busy for the last several days (in a good way). Eight weeks till summer break! 🙂 I think it’s possible I might change the world with these veggie-roons. They’re really amazing. I was surprised at how great they really were—not too sweet, not too bitter. The chocolate totally balanced the carrot perfectly. …
My friend Petra and I have had several discussions about how, when we come up with new recipes, we’d rather not try and make our fab new healthy foods sound like a spin-off of conventional foods.

Yesterday for breakfast, I had this: The day before, I had this: Today? Totally in the mood for a chocolate milkshake (ingredients: cacao powder, vegan protein powder, stevia, vanilla extract, ice): I drank half of this and dumped the rest—so I guess that was pretty wasteful. I know I won’t drink it later though, and …
This weekend I decided I would focus on ingesting more greens—-smoothies and juice. Right now, I’m not growing any wheatgrass—I have to buy more wheatberries, and to be completely honest, I’m way too busy right now to do anything extra (except I am watching Swiss Family Robinson right now with Matthew and Joey in preparation …
Today I wanted a combination recovery plus energy boost smoothie. Â Unfortunately (or fortunately?) it turned out more like a pudding. Here’s the recipe: 1 3/4 cups coconut milk 1/2 scoop Vega powder (chocolate flavor) 2 Tbsp raw cacao powder 1 Tbsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup chia seeds 2-3 Tbsp agave 1 Tbsp maca powder I …
