Let’s talk green smoothies. More specifically, tropical green smoothies. One thing I think we’re all looking for when we reach for a green smoothie is to just feel a little bit better, right? And no matter what kind of green smoothie it is– we usually want to feel healthier, lighter and more energetic after drinking […]

A green smoothie can be a little intimidating, right? Like you know it’s going to be good for you and good for your body… but what if it tastes like straight up grass?! Well- I feel you and I understand. When I was first getting into making smoothies- greens were intimidating. That was until I […]

  This green smoothie will get you through the most hectic, busiest, super stressful times of the year. I like to start up my days of a holiday party/dinner/etc with a giant green smoothie for breakfast. (I started drinking this over Thanksgiving weekend for breakfast each morning.) You might be tempted to skip food all […]

I recently was out to dinner at a vegan restaurant in Philadelphia called Vedge (go if you’re in Philly). The inspiration for this salad comes from that meal and their ridiculously good Salt Roasted Gold Beets dish with Avocado, Smoked Tofu, Rye, Capers, and Creamy Cucumber. I tried to recreate similar flavors from that dish and came […]

 If you haven’t jumped on the beet bandwagon yet, my advice to you is to get on it!!! They are delicious on their own, but paired with crispy kale, buttery avocado, and Creamy Tahini Dressing they are perfection!! Start with a giant bowl of freshly chopped kale.  Next, pour on this heavenly delicious Creamy Tahini Dressing. […]

 I’m finishing out Smoothie Week with my favorite detox green smoothie recipe. It may be because of an allergy or a taste preference, but some people prefer their green smoothie without banana, which can sometimes be hard to come by in the green smoothie recipe realm. Today’s post is just that- a green smoothie without banana! Pear helps […]

 It looks like it’s going to be smoothie week! Personally, nothing makes me want a smoothie more than a summer morning.  Today’s hydrating green smoothie can be a refreshing start to your day or snack later in the afternoon. If you don’t have any coconut water on hand, feel free to swap for filtered water or unsweetened almond […]

 Hi friend!!!! Today, I’m continuing with the detox recipes. This pear smoothie is a spin-off of my Banana Bread Green Smoothie, with pear replacing the banana. If you’re not into pears yet, get some as soon as possible! They’re high in vitamin C and A, which act as antioxidants to protect us against cell-damaging free radicals. Plus, […]

 I’ve been a chana masala lover for a few years. While probably not the same as the traditional dish, Wegman’s (a local grocery store) has some seriously good chana masala. Their chana masala, piled over a little bit of brown rice and a ton of fresh spinach is pure bliss. My Wegman’s chana habit changed […]

Refreshing, delicious and satiating, green smoothies are pretty much what started me on my way to a plant-based lifestyle. If you haven’t dipped your toe into the smoothie pool, or you’re nervous about the color of this drink, you’re not alone. I was nervous when trying my first green smoothie but quickly after that, I fell in love with them. With […]
