Beetroot juice is such a powerful juice and has been praised for it’s many health benefits! It also tastes delicious especially paired with apple, lemon, and ginger (in my opinion) but I will list an exact recipe for you to try it out for yourself! Beetroot is known for its main phytonutrient called betalaine, which is responsible for the bright red color and acts as an anti-inflammatory, detoxifier, and antioxidant.
Need I remind you that I love chickpeas? This might be my new favorite summer side dish that everyone I’ve offered it to wants to gobble up. It’s light, refreshing, and the perfect pairing to any summer BBQ dish you’re serving up before the summer comes to an end (sad).
I love sprucing up a super easy salad with a delicious and also easy dressing! Making the dressing in a large batch ensures that you have an amazing and healthy dressing for the rest of the week at your fingertips. I love making it in a big jar and storing it in the fridge. Arugula is such a crisp and delicious leaf and takes any normal salad up a notch. Added peppers give beautiful contrasting color and amazing antioxidants. The star of healthy fats (avocado) and poached eggs complete the meal (this is great for Meatless Monday!)
Baba ghanoush is a delicious dip made with roasted eggplants, if some of you do not know! It has such an amazing texture from the roasted eggplant and olive oil. Many recipes call for tahini, but this version is sans tahini and just as amazing. The sun dried tomato and rosemary really give a punch of flavor. (more…)
This might quite literally be what summer tastes like. The fresh zucchini, bright citrus, sweet apricot and creamy avocado flavors blend beautifully to create a summer stunner. It feels like the summer is zooming by so I wanted to stop and appreciate all of the scents and flavors that the peak of summer has to offer. I love using a spiralizer to turn zucchini into spaghetti! You really still get the feel that you are eating pasta yet you’re eating one of the most nourishing vegetables: so healthy and packed with fiber that’s great for your digestive system.
I recently brought this to a gathering with my friends and it was a huge hit, I couldn’t not share it on the blog. And it’s so simple that anyone can make it at home!

One thing I highly recommend for those starting to live a healthier lifestyle is to invest in a juicer. A juicer removes all of the fiber from the vegetables and fruits and leaves you with pure, easily absorbed vitamins, minerals and enzymes that give your digestive system a rest, allowing your cells to repair themselves and assist your body in recovering from the toxins of everyday life.
Salmon is one of the healthiest foods packed with omega 3s. One of my favorite versatile foods is quinoa — the new super grain gaining popularity for its amazing benefits– which is a complete protein, meaning it contains all of the essential amino acids that we need from our diet.
