Spring Roll #formation
Preparing Asian inspired food intimidates me, but I love it. Spring rolls are near the top of the list, prepared in any way but very specifically when eaten raw, they leave a fresh and light feeling of fullness. Depending on the ingredients used you can really focus on the flavors and not the packaging. Obviously I…

Office Snacking: Nature Box
If you’re reading this, you probably have a problem. It could be with sweets, it could be with salt, but it’s probably the combination of both and eating too much of either at the wrong time. I consistently prepare my own snacks by either pre-packing fruits, nuts and vegetables OR baking something healthy enough to pass…

(Added bonuses folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and manganese.) I planted a pack of $1.89 Arugula seeds on May 5th. By July 5th here’s what happened. …

Banana Choco Protein Bites
Forever in search of the perfect “healthy – but satisfying” snack, I struggle with selection just like everyone else. The worst foods are the easiest accessible and also CHEAP. The strongest muscle I have against my cravings is my mind and I’ll admit – I don’t always win – i’m the MVP of justification. I came across a super easy solution that also…

Spicy Pineapple Salmon skewers
I like to be excited to eat the lunches I meal prep. My excitement doesn’t allow for any temptation of purchasing expensive and perhaps unhealthy food throughout my work day. I LOVE the control I have over the ingredients I eat on a daily bases and knowing there aren’t any additional additives or preservatives gives me…

Watamelonwata: Infused Watermelon Water recipe
Instead of cucumber this week I subbed in watermelon when infusing weekly water. Nothing against watermelon, I just live in NYC and actually carry groceries with my hands. Hint: Melons are HEAVY! I instead purchased prepackaged (lazy I know) fresh watermelon chunks to use in this easy detoxing recipe. Although I’m not bored of my usual…

Save some for your SELF pt2 : Conversation & Cake
Preface: I thought this piece was past due. Though I speak freely and give thoughtful advice on the state of relationships, within my community and without, I never speak on my own experiences. I listen to popular opinion, panels of experts and advocates for both genders. I am my biggest critic and i’ve learned…

Banana, Avocado… so Smoothie
After the beet fiasco I started contemplating other “strange” (to me) fruits and vegetables to add to my dinner smoothie pool. I had a few avocados in the fridge so it seemed natural that blending with bananas would create an amazing texture. The taste I wasn’t sold on – so I added some peanut butter … and a…

Berta’s Beet root Smoothie
I dislike beets. I’m pretty confidant I went an entire decade without laying hands on one of these red roots. So I have heard beets are delicious, and more importantly have ridiculous nutritional value. (a good source of dietary fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin C, iron & vitamin B6) Last year I added beets to my juicing list and was pleasantly surprised when…
