Blackberry Activated Charcoal Smoothie Bowl (Vegan+GF)
I’m back from Hawaii but I’m still craving all the fruit. So charcoal in a smoothie, health benefit or aesthetic benefit? Let’s be real, it’s both. Ever since I started taking food photos I’ve definitely loved jumping on any visually captivating health trends. It’s not just for looks though. Charcoal has a lot of reasons to be consumed aside from it’s striking color. I remember my mom using it when my youngest sister was born because it’s great for helping relieve gas in infants. Another benefit, it’s great at filtering toxins. Have you ever used one of those nifty water-filtering pitchers, yeah well those have charcoal in them. It has a similar effect…

Acai Dragon Fruit Berry Smoothie Bowl (Vegan+GF)
I’m pretty sad to say it but I think yesterday was my last day of skiing for the season. We’ve been going up to Schweitzer Mountain Resort so much this season and I’m proud to report I’ve improved a lot on my form. All through February the weather was bitterly cold and we got dumped on with snow but this week has seen a huge shift in temperatures. I think it’s safe to say that yesterday was clearly the end of the cold. The sky was crystal blue, the rooftops were dripping streams of melting snow, and everyone on the slopes was shedding their layers throughout the day. In fact, I’m currently…

Energizing Ginger Berry Maca Smoothie (Vegan+GF)
It’s been a minute since I’ve shared a smoothie recipe. I guess it’s because they are such a common thing in my house that I think of them as sort of mundane. While I don’t have a smoothie every single day, I do usually end up making one everyday for others in my family. Of course, those are usually very basic with mostly fruits. This one however, is more my style of smoothie when I am in the mood. Now I don’t know if you’ve heard of this little health hack before but you have to try it. It’s cauliflower, and hold on just a second before you bale. Believe me, I…

Chocolate Tahini Smoothie
So It’s the weekend and I know we’ve all got life going on all around us so I’m keeping it short and sweet today. I’m just popping in to share this smoothie recipe that I made this past week because it’s one any smoothie lover is going to be thrilled with. That is, of course, unless you’re one of those fruity smoothie people who think chocolate should be strictly in desserts. You’re not, right??? This smoothie is simple, fast, and only a few ingredients. It’s also gluten free, dairy free, and vegan, and you can adapt it very easily too. For example, peanut butter is a great sub for the tahini and if…

Berry Coconut Breakfast Smoothie Bowls (Vegan+GF)
Can I tell you a little bit about these bowls please? I’m just so excited ’cause I know your going to love them! Am I the only one who has noticed the smoothie bowl craze taking over the internet? Well whatever the case, it is and everyone is cranking out the most gorgeous and colorful creations of fruitiness so I couldn’t help but start to feel left out, right? To be completely honest, the first time I saw a smoothie bowl I thought it was a pretty lame idea and I didn’t see myself ever wanting to make one. I mean, smoothies are supposed to be what they claim, smooth, so that they can…

Strawberry Limemade Green Machine Smoothie (Vegan)
Happy friday peeps! It’s hitting the peak of the summer heat, well maybe not the peak, but the later end of the summer turns into a dryer heat that isn’t as stifling. Right now you can cut the air with a knife it’s so humid. This is the only time of year that reminds me of my childhood growing up in Nashville’s muggyness. It makes me think of the Twilight Zone episode where the sun is getting closer to the earth and everything is melting. Only, I don’t think I get to wake up and find out that the world’s actually freezing over instead like the lead female character did. (I’m a sucker for the classics.) K, now about…

Healthy Heart-Beet Superfood Smoothie (Vegan)
I think I’m finally coming to terms with the fact that I will never own an unstained piece of clothing again. Almost everything in my wardrobe has either been; stained for ages with each new stain being added like a battle scar, stained in one spot that is just impossible to miss and looks like a hobo, or is destined to be stained in a matter of minutes as soon as it enters the kitchen. I’m really not that messy most of the time but if you only knew how much time I spend in the kitchen you would understand that the odds of keeping my clothes clean are not in my favor.…
