Bee Pollen

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 [...]

Cell-nique is a true superfood juice with no unnecessary fillers or added sugars. You can check out the list of 31 superfoods that make up the drinks here: Cell-nique Ingredients. [...]

Another day, another smoothie. The weather has been super hot the past few days, and it seems like cold juices and smoothies are the only thing I’m in the mood for. Let’s hope my new A/C makes it through the summer. So, here’s the recipe for my latest shake. It has two superfoods that are [...]

Memorial Day Roundup!

I had a wonderful Memorial Day and I hope you did too! Three-day weekends are the best. Plus, the weather in New York was just dreamy (ya know, sunny, breezy, and beautiful). On Saturday I made raw chocolate ice cream using coconuts and cashews (instead of dairy). There’s tons of antioxidant rich raw cacao powder [...]

Healthy Ingredient: Raw Coconut Flour

I’ve been having a lot of fun experimenting with superfoods and raw foods lately, especially raw cacao powder and raw coconut products like coconut butter/oil, coconut water, coconut milk, and coconut flour. Yum! I never knew I liked coconut so much until I started trying raw desserts here in NYC. Many raw and vegan desserts [...]

Top 7 Health Foods for Losing Weight

laurel — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 21:13:19 +0000

How many weight-loss strategies have you heard? Probably dozens, if not more. To me, weight loss is all about food, stress management, and exercise. Until you get those factors in order, you are likely to have trouble losing weight. As far as food goes, there is no perfect diet that will work for everyone, but [...]

Yessir, Food Matters

laurel — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 02:39:31 +0000

I just finished watching a new documentary called Food Matters, and I loved it. The 80-minute long film takes a look at the current state of health in the U.S. and the tremendously powerful ‘Sickness Industry.’ It also provides a ton of evidence to prove that nutritional therapeutic treatments (eating healthy and taking vitamins) are [...]

I recently sampled some Maqui berry products from the company Novelle. Maqui berries grow in rainforest regions of Chile and Argentina and are harvested by native Mapuche indian families. The dark purple Maqui berry is also referred to as the Chilean Wineberry. I was happy to try out some of Novelle’s Maqui products because they [...]

I’ve been busy with house chores tonight, but wanted something yummy cookin’ in the kitchen to look forward to. I made a bowl of greens as usual, but also whipped up a batch of mashed sweet potatoes. To boost the nutrients, I re-hydrated some dried goji berries (soaked them in water for a couple hours), [...]

Tried Something New: Aloe Vera

One of my favorite new books is Superfoods: The Food and Medicine of the Future by David Wolfe. I heard David speak at my school earlier this year and had to know more about superfoods and his living raw food diet. What are superfoods, you say? They are the most nutritious foods on Earth. When [...]
