I love adding hemp seeds to smoothies, because they're fiber rich and packed with nutrients like magnesium, iron, zinc, and B-vitamins. Chia seeds are very rich in soluble fiber, meaning they absorb water and can thus help promote good digestion and elimination. Berries are always a great choice for smoothies, but experiment with adding avocados, apples, oranges, spinach, and other fruits or veggies.

Cold brew, so hot right now. The coffee needs to steep for at least 12 hours, so plan accordingly.

I love me some huevos. Egg for breakfast or dinner; hardboiled, fried, poached, on a pizza, sando, burger, salad and I could go on. A huge plus about eggs is that they are a great clean source of protein that is great to incorporate into your healthy lifestyle! I have always been into eggs for breaky and now that I learned about baked eggs, (thanks to Megs), these are my new go to. They are very easy, you can put anything in them, and they are especially for groups, brunches, etc. Their presentation is clean and very presentable.

Chia inventions were the theme of yesterday. I was getting wild with those nutritionally dense little seeds! If you want to learn more about them click HERE. What makes chia seeds perfect for this raw jam is their ability to absorb almost 10 times their weight in water and create a kind of gel-like consistency (it’s also what makes them a great substitute for eggs in lots of recipes!). This recipe is awesome because it is hard to make jam without using a thickening agent. Thank god chia forms a gelatinous gel!

The difference between blending and juicing.
Unlike juicing, blending these fruits and vegetables in their whole form creates a more of a smoothie type of juice then your would get when using a juicer. The blending process breaks the fiber apart (which makes the fruit and vegetables easier to digest ) but also helps create a slow, even release of nutrients into the blood stream and avoids blood sugar spikes which you get when you juice. Smoothies tend to be more filling, because of the fiber, and generally faster to make than juice, so they can be great to drink first thing in the morning as your breakfast, or for snacks throughout the day.

Good morning everyone and happy Friday! Let's start this weekend out right with a healthy and simple meal! My sister just asked this question, "What's the difference between a frittata and a quiche?"
Basically, a frittata is Italian and quiche is French. A quiche often has a pastry base, whereas a frittata does not. They both can be filled with cheese, vegetables, meat, seafood and/or herbs. Similar to a quesadilla (one of my favorite foods), they can be eaten warm or cold, with a salad, or simply with a spicy salsa fresca!

Persimmons are in season and are probably on your street somewhere!!! If you live in the U.S. and you don’t happen to have a persimmon tree, you’ll want to start looking for persimmons... If and when you do find them, you’re likely to have two types of persimmons to choose from: the Fuyu and the Hachiya. Fuyu (the ones at bottom of the page), look a bit like tomatoes and are considered “non astringent”, meaning they can be enjoyed while still firm. You can eat them out of hand as you would an apple, and they work well in salads and anywhere else you’d use firm fruit.
