(I made this recipe using this organic matcha powder, which I received as a gift or at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.) As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I just discovered matcha and I love it. I have been using it to make near-daily matcha lattes, but I’ve also […]

Matcha Latte Recipe
I’m a very recent convert to matcha (and the matcha latte, which I’ll get to in a second), but converted I am. I like normal tea, but it’s not something I drink regularly. (I always have green tea and Throat Coat tea on hand, though, in case my throat gets scratchy or sore. They’re my go-tos.) […]
A Delicious Alternative to Chocolate Fudge
I love chocolate fudge. It has long been a holiday favorite of mine, and my Mom makes it every year. However. (You see where this is going.) If you’ve never made fudge, you should know this: you basically put multiple forms of sugar into a pot and boil it NOT TOO LONG and then let it harden […]
Easy Horchata-like Protein Shake
I really like horchata. It’s a Mexican beverage (non-alcoholic) made with rice milk, cinnamon, and sugar and served over ice. Delicious. But that sugar factor means it’s not something I drink all that often. (If I’m going to have sugar, I’d rather eat sweets than drink them.) Something I DO drink often, however, is a smoothie. I […]

Travel Exercise Tips: Having a Healthy Travel Day
I’ve written about how to keep up with your fitness routine while you’re traveling, but what about exercising on travel day itself? Remember that rest days are an important part of your exercise schedule, and you can just plan your rest day to coincide with travel day. I travel quite a bit, and unless I’m […]
My Favorite Healthy Hot Chocolate
Hot chocolate is usually a high-sugar beverage–not something we want to be putting in our bodies regularly. I learned to make a healthy hot chocolate that I absolutely love. It satisfies my sweet tooth-induced chocolate craving, but I know I’m giving my body some good food! Here’s how I do it: Healthy Hot Chocolate 1/2 […]
Super Bowl Snacks Done Better
Despite consuming a generally healthy diet, I don’t usually make a great effort to avoid special-occasion treats. Christmas, birthdays, and, yes, the Super Bowl will bring out foods you don’t normally (and definitely shouldn’t normally) eat. But, life is about balance, and I do enjoy a good birthday cake. So I’m not going to […]
