easy avocado 🥑
Sporting events are an easy reason to fall off your path of clean healthiness. This year instead of the stacked nachos – try this easy avocado with pita chips or rye wraps. Avocado is high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fat (the “good” kind of fat) and full of fiber – a great choice nutrient dense…

Smoothie Bowl Berta
Smoothies bowls are just smoothies in a BOWL with healthy delicious toppings! Kinda like a healthy sundae. Smoothie Bowls are all the rage right now because they are gorgeous to gaze at and just as tasty. I make a smoothie daily so I figured I’d give it a go with the random stuff I…

Pineapple Express – green smoothie
Under 200 calories. Quick and easy – because I usually have all these ingredients in the fridge or freezer if you substitute the kale for spinach. Tastes clean and slightly sweet, best tasting when you use frozen ripe bananas. Great for breakfast or a post workout snack. What you need Pineapple (fresh) – 6 or…

Blackberry-Ginger Infused water
I consume blackberries all year round. Incorporating them into infusing has quickly made them my favorite berry. Blackberries are slightly tart, and at peak have a gentle sweet flavor – always rich in color they provide a beautiful base each time I infuse. Further more they are high in antioxidants. The recipe below is one of…

Strawberries & Cream: Breakfast
Super easy and only THREE ingredients. Plain Greek yogurt is a bit boring but full of protein – liven it up with a few fresh strawberries and some crunchy granola. My version of strawberries and cream stays fresh all week long so, its wonderful for #mealprep breakfast or a quick healthy snack. Try and…

Berta-Banana Muffins| it’s my Breakfast!
If you know me in every day life, then you know i’m a sucker for sweets … and an outright savage for cake and cupcakes. True to form the only sweets I considering eating semi guilt free are MUFFINS. Also true to form, i’m VERY concerned about what actually goes into the delicious muffins my local…

Mason Jar Salad: Quinoa and Kale #4
Number 4 in my magical Mason jar installment. The latest just may be the greatest in this case. Recently … (I mean as recent as this month) I discovered I LOVE red quinoa, I’ve used regular quinoa in the past but as a nutritional filler, not because I loved the taste. But this red quinoa, kind…

Spicy Mushroom – Strawberry Salad
The “hardest” part of this recipe is sautéing the mushrooms just right. Mushrooms are also the most special part of this quick and easy salad, they create a base layer for the milder feta and sweet strawberries. Spring mix or spinach fresh strawberries feta cheese mushrooms red pepper flakes salt olive oil Slice and about…

Lemon, Ginger, Basil #infusedwater
One of my most favorite #infusedwater recipes. Lemons are in fact the fruit I prefer to all else because when drinking i’d rather sour than sweet. Try this for detox, debloating and cleansing. Or for plain old crisp refreshment. 1 lemon slice 1 jalapeno slice few shaves of fresh ginger 1 pineapple slice 1 large…

Peanut Butter and Strawberry smoothie
I can barely believe I haven’t posted this phenomenal find before now. I would prefer to have pancakes with butter and honey EVERY Saturday morning but since that’s not realistic I often defer to one of my other most favorite breakfast concoctions. The Peanut Butter and Jelly smoothie. It’s so simple it only requires 3 ingredients,…

Mason Jar Cobb Salad #3
I love great big messy cobb salads. More often than not, there are so many extra ingredients that the health factor is null and void. Cobb salad seems like a good idea – but really it’s just a tasty and filling farce, any healthy aspects of the salad are drenched in dressing and bacon!…
