Hey everyone! It's been a while since my last post. I hope you haven't been missing my recipes too much. ;) To make up for not posting for a while, I'll be sharing a wonderfully rich chocolate treat today. Not only are these RAW Chocolate and Raspberry Bars sweet and chewy...they also keep fresh a long time (you'll keep them in your freezer the entire time, only taking them out a minute or two before having a bar). If you're not too crazy about raspberries, you can easily substitute them Read more [...]

I have one more smoothie recipe for you guys. I created this one over the weekend. I call it: Strawberry Sunshine Smoothie. Not only does it look like a glass full of sunshine, but it tastes like sunshine would if you could drink it. After this one, I promise I won't post more smoothie recipes for another month or two. ;) I've had nothing but smoothie recipes for the last week. They're just so good though, I can't get enough! Talking about not getting enough...during lunch break, my husband and Read more [...]

Good day Paleo people! Today is a great day to treat our bodies right, recover from the long work week and gather some energy for the coming week.  The way I am doing that is by getting in extra hours of sleep, winding down, taking my time to do stuff and giving my body nutritious foods. Yesterday I promised to share a great lunch smoothie recipe with you all, and that's exactly what I am gonna do! This smoothie has lots of greens and lots of flavorful fruits; it makes for a perfect combination. Read more [...]

Happy Friday everyone! Today, I've decided to juice all day again. I’m just on a juice craze. Love it. Love how it makes me feel, how much energy I get, how much more focused I am and how it does my body good. I started my day with this Berry Banana Breakfast smoothie; a pretty fantastic way to start my day, if you ask me. It was a total energy booster. After I drank my drink, I went to the gym and did a bit of cardio...nothing too crazy though, as I want to have a low-key day and let my Read more [...]

Day three of my smoothie week has arrived! And guess what's in store for you? A smoothie that tastes just like cherry candy. Meet the delicious Apple Cherry Smoothie! A perfect drink for whenever you're craving sweets; it truly hits the spot. I gulped it down, barely stopping to breathe. The best part about this smoothie is it's only 184 calories! What a winner. I'll definitely be making lots of this one at home. Hope you guys like it as much as I did. Cheers! Tools You’ll Need:        Read more [...]

Today is day two of my smoothie craze. I woke up, had some tea and got my fruits ready to be “smoothied”. There’s nothing like having fresh, juicy and flavorful fruits first thing in the morning. It’s refreshing, soothing and sort of exciting. It’s exciting because not only do fruits taste incredible, but they also provide us with various minerals and vitamins that we need on a daily basis. My body was craving tropical fruits today, which probably meant that I was in need of specific Read more [...]

Last Thursday I started the Dr. Oz 3-Day Detox Cleanse and I've decided to share my experience with you guys! Let me start by saying that I had a great support group. My in-laws and my husband followed the detox along with me, and this made the experience a lot more enjoyable! It's great to have people go through challenges with us; if you're thinking about starting a detox or a cleanse, I highly recommend having a close friend or family member follow it along with you. To get ready for Read more [...]

Cereal. Americans’ breakfast of choice.  It’s crunchy, sweet, accessible, fun to eat, and incredibly tasty. There’s a flavor for everyone out there; you can find fruit tasting cereal, Oreo cereal, plain cereal, diet cereal, gluten-free cereal, you name it. I used to have a bowl of cereal every morning in high school and college; this was before I turned Paleo, of course. It was for sure my go-to breakfast item and one of the things I looked forward to the most in the AM. I loved the Vanilla-Almond Read more [...]

Who here loves chocolate? If that’s you, then you’re in luck. These Chocolate Date Granola Bars will make your taste buds sing. They have a hint of coconut and are plenty of sweet; if you dig coconut, chocolate and all things sweet, then I definitely recommend you go to your kitchen and start making these right away. They take hardly anytime at all to make and you can store each granola bar separately by covering each with plastic wrap (cover each bar all the way around, so that it keeps Read more [...]

I just made these lovely little treats. Aren’t they super cute? They remind me of an egg (must be because Easter's in the air)…only they're a lot prettier than an egg. ;) These are truly a fantastic Easter dessert to make for the family. They are fun to eat, cute looking, sweet, nutty and very nutritious! The perfect combination if you ask me. They're also super easy to make. Go on. Give 'em a try!   Tools You’ll Need:        Baking sheet        Parchment paper        Read more [...]
