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…

Plant-Powered Oat Protein Bars (Vegan+GF)
Okay, tell me if you do this too…. You’re walking down the protein bar aisle slightly holding your breath because you’re so hoping that the one or two brands that aren’t complete trash happen to be on sale. Then you check the price and realize that even if they were on sale they’re still a little pricey for you to be buying on a regular basis. Then you console yourself by realizing that unless you’re traveling or extremely short on time they really aren’t the best option. Am I the only one? Maybe it’s just me. I do know that there are some really delicious options for making protein packed bars to eat…

Wow, January is over already? That was so fast! I have a feeling the rest of the year isn’t going to be any slower, but I’m kind of wishing there was a pause button. You know, so we could get our lives together a little bit. I don’t know, maybe that’s part of the beauty of life, that none of us know what we’re doing. What I do know is that 2020 has plenty of space for all the healthy treats. This being one of my favorites lately. Now before I tell you about the recipe maybe some disclaimers are in order. Again, this is 2020 and things aren’t the same as they…

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…
