You wont even miss the alcohol with these must-have mocktails I have gotten very into making mocktails lately and I wanted to share some of my favorites! What I love most about these non-alcoholic drinks is that they are refreshing and actually hydrating in a way that alcohol can’t be.  And hydration is extra important during these hot summer nights. ...

A Soup-erb Summer Staple Whenever there is gazpacho on a menu, I am one happy dietitian.  It is flavorful, filling, and refreshing!  I love it so much that I started making my own (super easy) version that definitely holds up to my high gazpacho standards.  Not only is this dish cold and hydrating for hot summer days but it is...

summer beverage goals! The smoothie trend is still going strong and I am here for it! But, not all smoothies are created equal. Too many times a client will tell me of this “amazing smoothie” they made or bought out that is actually loaded in sneaky sugars and totally backfiring on their goals.  So, here is exactly how to keep...

One quarantine day while staring into my pantry, I decided the combo of almond meal and nutritional yeast would make for a crunchy and nutrient-dense coating for the remaining zucchini…and voila! my new favorite side dish was born, grain-free, baked zucchini fries.  I also imagine making these bad boys the next time I have friends over to snack on with...

I am a big fan of all things dark chocolate but this ultimate dark chocolate bark is my current favorite way to eat it!  Dark chocolate (we’re talking 72% cacao or higher) is great for fighting stress and relieving anxiety because of the amount magnesium it contains.  Magnesium is a mineral that naturally calms the stress hormone, cortisol, to boost...

I love these grain-free cauliflower breadsticks because they up the veggie content of any meal. They make an excellent addition to your holiday buffet, cheese platter, dinner party, or any meal where you want a little crunch!  I love to use hemp hearts for this recipe to really kick the protein up a notch, add some inflammation-fighting Omega-3’s, and for some...

The perfect grab-and-go snack bar. Genuinely healthy snack bars can be harder to find than you think.  Most of them have sneaky hidden sugars, are too high in sodium, too low in fiber, and are frequently unsatisfying calorie bombs.  By making my own nutrient-dense, delicious, snack bars I know exactly what is in them.  These Superfood Granola Bars are high...

This blueberry smoothie is my go-to for a refreshing summertime breakfast.  Blueberries are a great source of vitamin C and antioxidants, both of which help to keep your skin looking bright, fresh, plump, and young.  They are also a great source of fiber that will fill you up and keep you feeling energized all morning long!  Makes 1 serving. Ingredients:...

The Ultimate Plant-Based Burger I recently made these delicious plant-based burgers with my friend Elia, of Feed Your Sister, and they are amazing!  The lentils make them a great source of protein and fiber, while the sweet potato adds a seriously delicious twist to a typical veggie burger. Yields 6 burgers. Ingredients: 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped 1/3 cup parsley, chopped...
