As you know, I’m a big advocate for unprocessed and real foods. Did you know you can meet your nutritional needs for protein by eating plant foods?! I wanted to share some info on these typical foods that you may not have known are PACKED with protein to fuel your body with tons of other added benefits – WIN WIN.

Being mindful and having some good self awareness will help stave off extra unwanted pounds this holiday. Here are my five tips for being mindful and thriving on Thanksgiving!  (more…)
