Homemade Almond Milk + New Smoothie Recipe

Homemade Almond Milk + New Smoothie Recipe

I know the idea of making your own almond milk at home seems a little daunting and maybe even like a waste of time because it is so much easier to just buy almond milk at any grocery store. But, I promise it is actually pretty simple and cost effective (which makes my husband happy) to make your own. It also tastes significantly better than anything you can buy in the store (and I’ve tried A LOT … [Read more...]

What I Ate Wednesday + A Glimpse Into My Past

What I Ate Wednesday + A Glimpse Into My Past

I'd like to start off by saying this post is not intended to be interpreted as a "diet" or what you should be eating.  Everyone is different and this is just a glimpse into a somewhat typical day for me.  I do not count calories, macros, or have any dietary restrictions.  I'm a non-diet dietitian and believe in fueling my body consistently throughout the day with the real food so I can live and … [Read more...]

10 Simple Swaps for a More Nutritious Pantry

If you follow along on Instagram you might have seen me raid Heather's pantry and fridge last week.  She has already made some awesome swaps recently (her Primal Kitchen salad dressing assortment made me so proud), but she wanted me to come and browse her pantry and see where she might be able to continue to make more nutritious choices for her and her family.  Let's spring clean this pantry shall … [Read more...]

There are two types of people...people who view grocery shopping as an annoying errand and would prefer to have it delivered to their house and there are people like me. Whole Foods is like my version of Disneyland...I'm a kid in a candy store...my happy place... you get the picture.  I could spend an hour plus going up and down every.single.aisle. taking my sweet precious time making sure I got … [Read more...]

5 Ways I Stay Motivated to Workout

5 Ways I Stay Motivated to Workout

Fitness is my jam and always has been.  I've been super active my whole life and played D1 soccer in college at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.  Once my soccer career ended and I didn't have mandatory workouts, games, and practices I had to really take it upon myself to be accountable for my fitness.   I've continued to make working out a huge priority in my life not only for my physical health, but it … [Read more...]

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bites

You guys know I have a sweet tooth and when I made my husband those real deal chocolate chip cookies a few weeks ago for his birthday I probably ate like 5 cookies worth of dough in the process...and it got me thinking.  I wonder if there is a way to make healthier cookie dough that also won't put me at risk for salmonella if I eat it raw.  Bam! Ingredients 2 scoops Vital Proteins … [Read more...]

Sugar Talk Part II: Artificial Sweeteners, Sugar Alcohols & More…

Sugar Talk Part II: Artificial Sweeteners, Sugar Alcohols & More…

Last week I discussed natural vs. added sugar (unrefined and refined) read it here if you missed it. Today I felt it was important to also define artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols. As consumers continue to be more aware of their sugar intake, the popularity of sugar substitutes continue to rise as well.  Folks trying to avoid the extra caloric intake and/or hormonal response associated … [Read more...]

Pre & Post Workout Nutrition Guide

Pre & Post Workout Nutrition Guide

Making smart choices about how you fuel your body before and after activity can have a significant impact on your performance and recovery. I’m always surprised when friends and clients tell me they do not eat anything before a workout or how long they wait to refuel after a workout. There is a lot of confusion and misinformation about how to properly fuel an active body, so l want to simplify it … [Read more...]
