Sometimes a girl (or her hubby) needs a change, and the change I needed was to my morning smoothie recipe. Plus, I knew my husband was feeling a little mid-smoothie crisis, and I needed to keep him as my partner in crime. For the past 3 years I have been diligently preparing green smoothies with my go-to ingredients of spinach, romaine, banana, celery, green apples… give or take a few … [Read more...]
Hormone Balance: What Are Your Stress Triggers?
What are your stress triggers and where in your body do you feel it? We just got back from a family ski trip with two other families... So lots of mini-ski bunnies needing something around the clock (especially my 4 year old). Lots of "mom-eeeeee's", which left me with a short fuse.

Add Cabbage To Your Easter Recipes
Moment of truth: I don't love salad. Yes, I said it, and it felt good! The biggest reason I drink green smoothies and green juice is that I just don't love eating salad. When you order salad at a restaurant, half the time it's iceberg lettuce covered with croutons and dressing. Making a salad at each meal just seems tedious.

3 Tips for Successful Detoxing
Cucumbers, celery, tomatoes… OH MY! Just mention the word "detox" or "cleanse" to a rookie and the brief look of terror that flashes before they cover it up with a, "Oh, no biggie, I drink green juice all the time" is a response we see almost daily. Yes, it's kind of scary to think about wiping the slate clean, especially if you can't visualize the … [Read more...]
Homemade Broth: Types, Benefits and How To
We all know that pre-packaged broth is loaded with sodium, and though there are healthier, lower sodium options available, they can be lacking that rich, hearty flavor we crave during the cold winter months.
