I tried the South America Superfruit spread (made with Maqui berries, passionfruits, red grapes, and morello cherries) and the Superfruit Just Fruit spread (made with red grapes, morello cherries, açai [...]

Farmer’s Market – Columbia NYC

laurel — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 19:03:11 +0000

On Saturday morning I stopped by the Columbia farmer’s market in NY to browse the local produce. The small Columbia market lines Broadway between 116th and 114th streets, and it’s a nice healthy resource if you’re on the Upper West Side. There were lots of fall/winter squashes and pumpkins, which made me wish I brought [...]

Over the last two years I’ve been having fun trying different superfoods and figuring out how to add them into my daily diet. I recently bought some bee pollen and added it to my morning smoothie. It was really easy to incorporate and soft enough that I didn’t need to soak it before putting it [...]
