[sharethis] Good day to you! Are you ready for dessert? The #day5 smoothie is Chocolate Banana Milkshake. It tastes just like something you can get at the bakery (gluten-free bakery that is!). I have cocoa powder on the ingredient list. You can find good quality powder at Whole Foods or your local natural food store. I also use cacao powder … Read More
[sharethis] Well, here we are… Day 5! AND how are you feeling? Any discoveries? Remember as we sip on the green stuff, deep shifts are happening within your cells, without you even realizing.

[sharethis] It’s Day 3 of #21DayGreenUp ! I LOVE hearing the “greening up” WHY of our world-wide blending beauties. Being role models for their kids. Finding balance in their days. Jump-starting a healthy habit. Even giving a head-start to babies in their mamas’ tummies. Today’s smoothie is the signature smoothie for #21DayGreenUp. It’s called, well, The Green Up Smoothie! … Read More
[sharethis] We are off to an Ah-mazing start to #21DayGreenUp! Our Day 2 smoothie incorporates the lovely orange. Oranges boost immunity which is extremely beneficial during the cold and flu season. Oranges also great for your skin. The Vitamin C rebuilds and repairs skin collagen, which prevents dryness and also makes cellulite less visible. Hells yeah! The Feelin’ … Read More

The holidays can be challenging when it comes to keeping it clean and that’s okay! Really, there … Read More
[sharethis] 11:11, such a magical manifesting day! Yesterday I posted about how I manifested Go Clean, Sexy You. I swear I wrote my dreams down and 20 years later, bam. Thank you, Universe! AND I’ve been seeing 11:11, 1:11, 11 all the time for the past 2 months. I look at my phone: 11:11. I checked my digital watch: 1:11. … Read More
[sharethis] I’m so excited to give you a sneak peek into my “look beyond the recipes” book, Go Clean, Sexy You. It has been 2 years in the making, not to mention 5 years of working with clients in my detox programs. Time and time again I was asked to put all my clean, anti-inflammatory (i.e. gluten-free and plant-based) recipes … Read More
[sharethis] I’ve been working with gorgeous souls for five years with detox, and I have to say, once you get the gist of putting together fast, simple meals, it’s easier to eat on the run. I preach being mindful, chewing our food at meals (and I advocate that wholeheartedly!), but let’s face it, life can be a whirlwind so making … Read More
[sharethis] Happy National Kale Day! How are you celebrating? Dancing like Beyonce (I have the same shirt! Love her!)? Reading 50 Shades of Kale by Drew Ramsey, M.D. ? OR massaging that kale? How ’bout making my kale soup? You know, my kale soup reminds me of my favorite place in the whole entire world~ Positano, Italy I vacationed there … Read More
[sharethis] This question gets me pretty fired up (I’m asked this almost daily): “If you’re not eating meat, where do you get your protein?” If you’ve been with me awhile or are savvy to the plant-based life, you know that there is protein in broccoli and spinach, but for the majority of the population, especially in North America, there’s a … Read More
[sharethis] We are in the throes of back to school time at my house. Kate and Jack are excited. They are ready. Me, um, like, I am not ready. At. All. All I want to do is look at the ocean one more time and just sit…and soak up the last bits of summer. Even though my kids shopped for … Read More
[sharethis] It’s been crazy hot in the East Coast… so hot, it’s like death (okay, I’m being a little dramatic… but it’s hot!). Sometimes I forget how hot it can get. On Sundays, I have a fitness ritual of riding my bike to the gym, swimming laps, and riding home. It’s what I call a mini BRICK from my triathlon … Read More
[sharethis] Do you like pina coladas… getting caught in the rain… It’s tempting to reach for sugary, fat-filled frozen drinks during summer. Heck, who doesn’t like a frosty daiquiri when it’s hot out? And the alcohol doesn’t help to keep you hydrated let alone feeling slim in the tummy. I swear I have one drink and my waistline expands immediately. … Read More
[sharethis] Updated January 2019 Juice is dope, yo. The benefits are endless: • weight loss (will depend on your body, but it is pretty much a given) • decreased belly fat and bloating • feeling lighter • tons of energy a more balanced pH level since you will be pumping anti-inflammatory foods into your system • almost … Read More
