Blueberry Coconut Superfood Smoothie
I try and drink one green smoothie per day but my taste buds were bored with kale and spinach as the green components. I did some research and decided to order Vitamineral Green to super boost the nutrition of my smoothies without adding spinach or kale. A large container is around $60 but the […]
Raw Summer Fruit Tart with Lemon Cream
I found some amazing peaches and blueberries last week at the Farmers Market. They don’t need any cooking or extra sugar so I used them as a topping for this healthy raw tart. I love raw desserts because they taste amazing and so I don’t feel guilty about having a second slice. And when you’ve […]

The secret to this salad is shredding the vegetables into super thin strips. […]
