This is another recipe that was inspired by family. My grandmother’s favorite dessert was Coconut Cream pie. We grew up eating her favorite dessert on special occasions and this past year for my Mom’s birthday we mailed her one. Again, food brings us close to the one’s we love when we can’t be physically close to them. In my personal...

I will eat a mango any chance I get. They are hands down my favorite fruit and I may or may not battle Edie over who gets to eat the last one’s 😉 Don’t worry, I always give them to her! There is no way I could go through a smoothie series and not have a killer green smoothie recipe....

Fall is definitely my favorite season. Not for the PSL, but for the sweet relief from the summer heat in Florida. We have this one day we celebrate in our house each year and it is the first day after summer where we open all the windows and the porch slider and let the cool air in. THAT is my...

I am definitely on a walk down memory lane with these smoothies! Sometimes I find myself looking to create something new and different with my morning smoothies. I forget that reinventing the wheel isn’t always needed. Thankful to be moving all these recipes over to this blog for safe keeping and easy access. I just love them all so much....

I remember creating this smoothie from January of last year. We had just hit the jackpot at the grocery store and found the BEST peaches. Our whole crew loves peaches and while they were not in season, we felt so lucky to land a few. They were so sweet and this smoothie recipe was inspired by them. I am sure...

There are a few things that I just know I need each day to feel really good. Sleep is priority number 1. If I don’t get enough sleep (7-9 hours) nothing feels right the next day. Water is another vital pillar to feeling my best, with the goal for myself being about 70-80 ounces each day (that goal is two...

Kids are awesome. I am currently upstairs while the kids are on a brain break from distance learning doing these posts. The kids have always been so supportive of this work: they love to taste test, know that pictures are a part of most meals I serve, love asking how my clients are doing and both have said that they...

There was a time in the early days of my being at Institute for Integrative Nutrition for my health coach training certification that I was in a “dessert” smoothie phase. I tried to recreate all my favorite desserts and girl scout cookies into superfood smoothies. This smoothie recipe took me back to the early days. This one is all about...

It is safe to say that the way to my heart is via green smoothie. Anytime we travel I try to find a locally owned smoothie shop to try and we have been to SO many great ones. This recipe pulls from some of my favorite ones that we have had on the road. It took me a long time...

During fall we participated in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and we recieved a weekly farm box. It was like Christmas morning each Friday when we got to pick it up and I was always so excited to create recipes with our local, seasonal and organic produce. My favorite: squash and zucchini! You all know that I use zucchini and...
