Tuna is one of those lunches that can either make or break your healthy routine. Traditional tuna packs a big punch with added polyunsaturated fats from mayonnaise, but switching for avocado will give you the good healthy fats your body craves more of and loves. (more…)
Healthy muffins are a great way to feel a little indulgent yet stay on track with your health goals. These muffins are so delicious and light. They make a great breakfast or snack option. You also get a great dose of sweet potato snuck in there which will provide you with a hefty dose of Vitamin A and fiber! (more…)
I love experimenting with all types of smoothie recipes because the possibilities really are endless. I have to keep it fresh because I can get bored easily and I’m not the type of person who likes the same foods every day. Nutritionally, it’s so much better to get a variety of foods than sticking to the same thing every day, so don’t be afraid to try some new combinations! (more…)
I love making my own hummus, and I’m pretty sure it’s my all time favorite food. It’s so easy to make, which makes it so much healthier and cheaper than most store bought hummus. I could eat hummus all day! It’s rich creamy texture is so delicious and it makes the perfect balanced snack with some veggies or some seed based crackers (such as Mary’s Gone Crackers). I’ve made my own hummus before but this one takes the cake in the flavor department. (more…)
Some of my friends could tell you I use chickpeas in everything and it’s almost always true!

They also leave you feeling satisfied long after lunch! (more…)
Oatmeal is one of those healthy comfort foods that definitely keeps you coming back for more once you’re hooked! It can be made and altered in an endless number of ways which always keeps it interesting. Oatmeal is one of those foods that I could eat any time of the day! It works well even with a busy schedule as it only takes about 5 minutes to make on the stovetop. (more…)
This Quiche is sure to be a crowd pleaser! I have always loved a great quiche but I wanted to create a lightened up version without all of the white flour. The entire crust is made purely from cooked quinoa. While many believe quinoa is a grain, it is actually a seed. (more…)
A hardboiled egg, garlicky spinach, avocado and a Vitamin C rich orange is a balanced and delicious breakfast that will give you long lasting energy to power you through a busy morning.
I have to say that I love banana in just about any type of smoothie. It adds such a rich creaminess (especially when frozen beforehand) that is hard to achieve with other fruits alone. I really love getting a great dose of plant based protein and high influx of nutrients and antioxidants in the morning or after a great workout to rebuild my muscles.
Spiralized vegetables are an amazing way to get the feel of pasta yet are extremely nourishing and good for you. I love them hot or cold in many types of dishes. This Spiraled Squash Salad is a light yet filling lunch that will leave you satisified due to all of the fiber. (more…)
