Grain-free Ginger Spice Muffin Tops
The potential coconut sensitivity that I mentioned on Friday = false alarm. Thank goodness. I spent most of the weekend panicking that my love for coconut had eventually led to a sensitivity. (When you eat too much of one thing, especially when you’re prone to allergies, your body can begin to develop a sensitivity to…
10 Clean Eating Meals
Originally, the plan after my 2 day juice fast was to end it with 1 day of smoothies. Halfway through smoothie day 1 (Wednesday), I decided to extend smoothies to 3 days. Today marks day number 3. Since Wednesday, I’ve stuck to veggie and fruit smoothies and have slowly added millet, coconut oil, and lentils…
