Well hi there! Today I’ve got another plant protein-packed recipe for you. I’ve been working on adding more recipes to the blog that are focused on plant protein because we’ve got a special masterclass coming up this week inside of Patreon that is a complete guide to plant-based protein! So, to prepare for that class […]

This post has been a LONG TIME coming… Today we’re hopping into all the tasty vegan food in Dubrovnik, Croatia! And if you want to see the food in motion, check out the Dubrovnik Travel Vlog here: I went to Dubrovnik to celebrate my birthday last year (I’m still wondering how this was a year […]

Well hi there! I’m coming to you from a brand new website and man does that feel good to say. For the last 4 months, I’ve been working along with a talented designer (Kendra at Kay Creative– she’s the best!), to completely revamp my site. I am so proud of this site. I poured my […]

Have you ever had one of those moments when you realize the world is actually a lot smaller (but at the same time-sooooo much more expansive) than you ever thought? Like a moment when you realize- wow, life is pretty freaking magical and incredible?! I had one of those moments this past week when I […]

Today is exciting because we have an incredible guest joining the blog! I’m so psyched about sharing more interviews here because health is SO much more than just what we eat. Our food is a HUGE part of it, but there are many aspects of our mind, body, and soul that make up our overall […]

Happy Halloween! Any Halloween lovers out there? I kind of have a love-hate relationship with it. I love the decorations, the treats, but hate the scary movies. In fact, my boyfriend and I just were in Orlando for a night and there was a horror movie convention happening in the hotel we were staying at. […]

I was at Publix the other day, casually strolling by a Halloween candy display, and decided to check out what actually was in a jar of caramel sauce. I was kinda shocked at what I found. High fructose corn syrup, more corn syrup, cream solids, and a bunch of chemical additives that sound pretty gnarly. […]

Yep. You read that post title correctly. Today we are making Healthy Vegan Snickers Bars!!! Because we should all be able to enjoy candy every now and then and do so without feeling crappy from what’s inside of the candy bars. So let’s talk Snickers for a second. Snickers, which usually can be found right […]

I go back and forth between drinking coffee and cycling off of caffeine (I drink this latte when I’m taking a break), but you better believe when I am drinking coffee- I’m drinking coffee with added adaptogenic benefits! Coffee is this beautiful thing that I think most of us have some sort of relationship with. […]

Dubrovnik outfits!!! There’s more Croatia coming for you today with this post. We’re breaking down all the warm weather outfits to wear in Dubrovnik. (And there are still two more Croatia posts to come! Think, where you can find the best vegan food and the MUSTS for what to do in Dubrovnik on a hot […]

Last month, my boyfriend and I visited Croatia for the first time! Spending the week in Dubrovnik had to be one of my favorite, most memorable birthdays ever. (You can check out the vlog of the trip here.) Since Dubrovnik hotels can be kind of expensive, today we’re breaking down the nitty-gritty deets on how […]

Remember how we dove in last week on how to make a green juice that tastes good but is also detoxifying? We’re continuing the juice series today with a drink that is perfect for the days you need a little extra energy and stamina. Maybe you’re about to do a fierce strength workout, maybe you’re […]

So how do you stop eating sugar? Let’s dive in. I was always a fan of sugar. When I was a little kid, my go-to snack at night was chocolate Breyer’s ice cream which I would dunk soft pretzels into. (The kind of soft pretzels that have those really big crystals of salt on top.) […]

We’re starting a new series here on the blog today and it’s all about JUICE. I know, I know- juice gets a lot of hype but is it worth the cost/hassle/time it takes to actually do it?! You gotta have a juicer (or get crafty with a blender and strainer), prep the produce, make the […]

Hi there! Today we’re talking about all things sustainability and all things Public Goods (but more on that in a minute). At this stage in the game, I think we’re all pretty aware that our choices matter and have an impact. But with so much info, brands, and products out there- it can be kind of […]

Last week, my boyfriend and I took a quick trip to southern CA. We went to see some friends in San Diego and then up in Los Angeles for a day. And over the course of three nights of dinners out, I had some drinks. And man I AM FEELING IT. I don’t drink alcohol […]

Learn how to make healthy baked tortilla chips in the oven! They’re simple, tasty, and an awesome oil-free option for anyone who wants to skip the fried food.

Well- I can’t believe this flight actually happened. I remember the first time my boyfriend told me about Qatar Airways’ *QSuites* and I googled pictures of it. It was almost like I was googling pictures of a mini apartment in the sky…. there was pics of a double bed, soft plush bedding, giant TVs, and […]

Quinoa is SUCH a good hack for when you want something that’s satiating, packed with plant nutrients, but also feels pretty light. It’s also super versatile! You can use it in salads, as a base for a curry, to make veggie burgers… this list goes on and on. So what is quinoa? Not a grain, […]

Is there anything better than guacamole and chips!? It’s like this perfect snack that you can sit back and enjoy with friends. I love getting it at restaurants (especially because sometimes it’s the only vegan option on the menu????). But what’s awesome about guac is that you can easily, and pretty quickly, make it yourself […]
