Creamy Tahini Hummus

Having healthy snacks to munch on throughout the week is a must and this homemade hummus is an absolute staple for me.

The secret to our health: it’s in Our gut

What was once thought of as a relatively simple organ system, today we understand our gut to be a complicated ecosystem that plays an integral role in our overall health. Home to roughly 39 trillion microorganisms, how our digestive tract functions in accordance with the health of our gut microbiome has been linked to a number of different diseases including diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders like irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease…

Your Morning Cup of Coffee Reconsidered

My morning routine goes a little something like this: wake up, drink a glass of water, make a pot of coffee, drink said coffee with almond milk (no sweetener), and finally, drink my morning smoothie…my favorite morning ritual. But after a rough night’s sleep, is there literally anything better than a warm cup of coffee? The coffee lover in me would say no, but researchers from the Center for Nutrition, Exercise, and Metabolism at the University of Bath (UK) would argue otherwise and for reasons you’re probably not expecting.

Matcha Latte Smoothie

Smoothies are an essential part of my morning routine, as is a matcha latte or a cup of coffee. So why not simplify your routine?! Lately, I’ve been adding matcha to my smoothies for a caffeine boost and I’m loving it. Thanks to Trader Joe’s, they’ve made it super easy to add as well as control just how much caffeine you consume. This smoothie is everything you’d want from your matcha latte with the added benefit of clean ingredients from your smoothie. It’s the perfect way to start your morning and even better for those on the go!

Banana Coconut Pancakes

Growing up, pancakes were always on the menu, especially when it came to the weekends! And while I’ll never say no to a traditional pancake, there’s nothing I love more than putting a healthy spin on a childhood favorite.

I love this pancake recipe because it’s the perfect combo of all the things I try to incorporate when considering balance: unrefined carbohydrates and fiber (almond flour), protein (collagen protein powder), and healthy fats (coconut oil and hemp seeds).

Fish Tacos

If there’s one food I crave each week, it’s tacos, and not just on Tuesdays! Maybe it’s because I thrive off of the flavors or maybe it’s because I live walking distance from one of my absolute favorite Mexican restaurants…regardless, tacos are a staple in my household and these fish tacos are everything of the sort. Full of flavor and fresh vibrant ingredients, these fish tacos will not disappoint, and bonus they literally take 10 minutes to make…does it get any better?!

Collagen Peptides

Glowing skin, healthy hair, strong nails, AND healthy joint function?! Supplemental collagen almost sounds too good to be true. Although research is limited and much more needs to be done, it continues to support the benefits of this health food supplement, and to be honest I’m here for it. Over the past six months or so I’ve been incorporating collagen into my routine by adding it to my smoothies, oatmeal, and even coffee. And after trying multiple brands, I decided to do a deep dive in order to find the best product.
