Read MoreSimple Roasted Carrot Soup with Coconut Milk
Let’s talk soup details, shall we? This soup combines the magic of carrots and coconut milk to create an unbelievably creamy (yet cream-less) soup that’s equal parts bright and sweet. Despite its incredibly simple ingredient list, the soup’s flavor is deceptively complex, and the hint of apple gives each bite the perfect amount of freshness.…
Read MoreChocolate Chia Cherry Walnut Energy Balls
These balls! Seriously, I can’t get enough. They are sweet, tart, chewy, nutty and chocolatey. In short, each perfect bite is packed with texture and feels somewhat indulgent. But what I love the most about these is the fact that they’re very nutritious. They pack more fiber than you know what to do with, plus…
Read MoreSpicy Basil Tomato Sauce with White Beans & Zucchini Noodles
How about this for a simple, yet zesty weeknight meal? To say I eat a lot of zucchini noodles would be putting it very, very lightly. To make zucchini noodles I use a tool called a Spiralizer, it will transform your vegetables and fruits into spaghetti or spirals. The noodles are ready in less than 5…

SOUP. I love soup. And I must add that this one is absolutely fabulous. First of all it’s comforting without being heavy and it’s a breeze to pull together. I’m talking 25 minutes tops with about 5 minutes hands on time. Throw some freshly sliced basil on top, serve with some crusty bread and a…

They’re a lighter, low-carb version of traditional pasta, and I love that they play well with just about any sauce. In this case,…
Read MoreBreakfast Banana Splits
This breakfast may have more nutrients, vitamins & minerals than your multi-vitamin. I would happily devour a banana with almond butter on its own, but the toppings are what make this so irresistible. I went to town on this banana split by adding fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, as well as ground flax seed, toasted…

Honestly, you can’t really go wrong with this. Total showstopper. The fig balsamic vinaigrette rocked my taste buds and changed my mind about…
Read MoreLoaded Sweet Potatoes
Easy & satisfying. The filling in these bad boys is simple: chickpeas, tomatoes, feta, parsley and a healthy dose of lemon juice. I dig this veggie filling in everything from salads and burrito bowls to lettuce wraps, but stuffed in a roasted sweet potato, is where it really shines. Scary good (for vegetarians & meat lovers alike). The…
