They are powdered drink packets developed by a group of 250 yoga teachers and are designed to “remov[e] obstacles…such as digestive issues, muscle fatigue and cramping, and mental clarity and focus.” I’ve been taking the packets about an hour and a half [...]

I did a long cardio workout at the gym on Friday, and I left with a huge craving for…burgers and fries. Haha! Funny when that happens, huh? Well, I decided to fulfill my craving, but to do it my way with a healthy twist. It’s fun to get to indulge in “junk” foods once in [...]

I’ve been very active this summer with dance classes and cardio workouts at the gym, so naturally my appetite has increased. Man, sometimes I feel like I’m snacking all day long! I often have eggs for breakfast because they fill me up and have lots of protein, vitamin D, selenium, and carotenoids (the antioxidants that [...]

Avocados are a staple for me. I use them almost every day in salads, shakes, sandwiches, or to eat plain as a side dish. I love avocados because they’re filling and versatile.
