Chocolate Covered Kiwis🥝🥝🥝
3 Ingredients, all the flavor. I am in a constant struggle with sugar, good and bad. I can avoid processed sugars for the most part, but sugary natural fruits call to me. Most of my favorites are high in carbs and full of delicious sugars. I’m in the process of approaching a keto-friendly…

Naturally Sweetened Kiwi-sicles 🥝🥝🥝
I like dessert after filling myself with fresh green things for dinner. After all these years I still crave sweets. On the occasion, I give in to a tbs of delicious but boring peanut butter but luckily, I have a few other more inspiring options. In the summer, popsicles hit the spot in more…

Misfits Markets 🍊🥒🥕🥬
Last year I subscribed to a produce delivery box service. Initially, I began researching a service for my parents, in an effort to force them to eat more fresh produce. I realize it’s not so easy for everyone – I can find cheaper fresh and organic produce here in NYC, if I actually search,…

ohhh hello ALOE! 🍃
Can we talk about how amazing ALOE VERA is for a moment? Growing up, my grandma had long green prickly stalks growing near her lamps (that are now my lamps), sometimes in just water filled mason jars. She never bothered with them but they seemed to always grow. I do remember when she’d cut a…

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…

The recipe below is one of…

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,…
