Today I want to introduce you to one—a star among the Vegalicious online community, a woman of determination, a program graduate (many times over) and an ongoing … [Read more...]

“Spring Freshness” Green Smoothie Recipe | 7 Day Reset Plan (Day 3)
How is your green smoothie-ing going? Yesterday was a good day, but I was busy and not as hungry.

Green Smoothie Feasting | 7 Day Reset Plan
In the last couple of months, since I cut back on teaching fitness training classes, cabin fever set in and I felt like I got stuck and need to press a reset button on my body. I slacked off a bit on my green smoothie intake, while keeping my overall diet completely clean. Although numbers on the scale have not changed, I feel that I can do better than this (see, no one … [Read more...]

New Zealand Spinach Green Smoothie Recipe
Today was Sprout's first Farmers Market visit. I wish I could tell you that it was exciting for her, but, alas, at 93 F outside she was knocked out the whole time in the shade of her stroller. I, on the other hand, was excited to be out. Although pickings were a bit slim (I miss Washington State farmers markets and our organic farmer), I was able to score a few good thing: … [Read more...]
