Key Lime Pie Green Smoothie

Who doesn’t like pie, smoothies and graham crackers? Or, limes, frothy toppings and sweet breakfasts? Big mugs, green things, and meals packed with goodness? All of these things? Can be your next green smoothie. Because green smoothies don’t have to be a “pinch your nose to scarf it down” experience. They can taste like pie…

I’m not one to make New Year’s resolutions. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever made a resolution. But as 2011 was drawing a close I made a small promise to myself to get back to putting my health first. 2011 was full of ups and downs, new beginnings and endless work hours. Though I’m…

Pumpkin Spice Smoothie

Pumpkin Spice Smoothie

Oh heavenly orange squash that marks the first day of Fall, how I’ve missed your versatility. Pumpkins are filled with complex carbohydrates, fiber, anti-oxidants, and vitamin A… but I’ve been avoiding them. I blame it on end-of-summer-denial syndrome. Yes, it’s something many of us struggle with *tear* But in an effort to keep up with…
