Banana Pancakes

If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you know that my favorite meal of the day is breakfast. And I can definitely load up on the bad stuff: pancakes, waffles, cinnamon rolls, french toast, etc. Those by far are my guilty pleasures. But it’s so much freaking sugar and for someone who is trying to be more conscious of how I’m eating, it can be hard to resist. But that’s why you love me right? I never tell you that you can’t have those indulgences and cravings. If you want it, then have it, just be wiser about […]

The kicker is, that you’re missing out on almost 20 more grams that you should be getting on a regular basis. The recommended daily amount of fiber that is 30-50g. I want you to look at your own health and see if you have any of these issue: High LDL (bad) cholesterol, raised blood sugar, excess body weight. If you’re not getting enough fiber, should you freak out. No, you can turn things around, […]

Build Your Own Smoothie

I absolutely hate looking up smoothie recipes when the ingredients are a page long. If I have to get too many measuring cups out and ingredients, I’m out… Don’t let recipes like that turn you off to the green smoothie.
