Electrolyte Drink

I sometimes get asked by clients about my thoughts on electrolyte drinks (and tablets, powders etc.)  And until a few months ago I always had the same answer, "unless you are exercising intensively, there's no need."  And while I'm still singing that general tune, there have definitely been times that folks (including myself) could benefit from an electrolyte solution. But…

Green Juice…Served with a Healthy Dose of Reality

Let me paint you a picture. I was scrolling through my Instagram feed and I see picture after picture of gorgeously captured food items. Inspired by these beautifully crafted images, I decided to stage my own photoshoot. I had just gotten a delicious green juice, the sun was shining, and the flowers in the backyard were perfectly in bloom. Glass…

Bowl of Yogurt & Berries

Yogurt & Berries

This snack can give you the illusion that you are having dessert (especially if you are adding the honey or maple syrup!) Unfortunately, most flavored yogurts have enough sugar in them that they should actually be considered a dessert but are often marketed as health foods. The best thing to do is always buy plain yogurt and add your own…

Glass of a Raspberry Smoothie

Raspberry Energy Smoothie

I often think of only making smoothies for the morning but forget that they are also a fantastic snack option, especially during the second part of the day, when my eyelids tend to get a little heavy and I start craving something sweet or salty, or both. I also love making smoothies with my kids as it’s a great way…

Power Green Smoothie

I’m a huge breakfast person. I always wake up starving and usually try to eat something within 30 minutes of rising to get my metabolism going early. But I’ve never been one to have a “go to” breakfast. Somedays I feel like eggs and toast or a big bowl of oatmeal and other days, I’m hungry, but I don’t necessary…

Four Bowls of Blueberry Overnight Oats

Blueberry Overnight Oats

The mornings can be a busy time for any family, especially if you aren’t always on the same schedule. One of my kids is an early riser and likes to eat right away. Another one will sleep as late as we let her and is always the last to have breakfast. For that reason, overnight oats are a favorite in…

Plate of Avocado Egg Toast

Avocado & Egg Toast

I have to admit, I was late to the avocado toast game. In fact, my kids were eating it way before I was. I never have minded avocado, but there was something about it that didn’t seem like it belonged on toast so I was always reluctant to try it. But then I did and now my eggs and toast…

Apple Spice Muffins

As you may guess, there’s a lot of activity in our house with four young kids and both my husband and I working full time. Between school, after school, going the firehouse, lacrosse practice, plus my own private practice, it feels like someone is always running somewhere. Making sure everyone has a healthy snack while going from point A to…

Is Golden Milk Really Magic?

Before I get into it, many of you may be asking what in the world is golden milk? It’s a warm golden-colored beverage that’s not necessarily dairy milk.  The golden part comes from the turmeric spices in it and the liquid is made from a plant-based milk (although some folks make it with cow’s whole milk). It’s a Cure-All Affectionately…
