Blueberry Acai Smoothie

Acai and chia are great energy foods – offering healthy fats, minerals, and antioxidants. Acai is pronounced ah-sigh-ee (I’ve been saying it wrong for years) and it is a delicious low-glycemic berry that provides exceptional amounts of antioxidants, omega fats, protein and fiber. Throw in some easily-digestible protein flax seeds, and some simple carbs from bananas and coconut water, and you’ve just created a delicious breakfast smoothie!

Decadent Superfood Smoothie

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so it’s important to make good choices, right? I’ve been choosing from only two breakfast options for the past two years: Oatmeal, blueberries and cinnamon OR eggs, tomato and avocado. I think it’s time to switch it up and incorporate more protein into my breakfast. I wake up starving and have an insatiable sweet tooth in the … Continue reading Decadent Superfood Smoothie

Sunset Slideshow

I never get tired of taking pictures of the sunset. At around 8:15 pm, I walk outside barefoot and just watch in awe. The sunrise and sunset are the most amazing parts of the day. The magma look on the clouds, the sparkling horizons and glittering water is just beautiful. I can’t help but take a few shots to share with you: “There’s a sunrise … Continue reading Sunset Slideshow

Stretch it Out

It’s the second week of my 5K training and I’m desperately trying to stay motivated. This past weekend I decided it was best for my body to relax, but now that it’s Monday, I knew that I had to get back on my game. It was a rainy, miserable day here in New Jersey and all I wanted to do was curl up with a book … Continue reading Stretch it Out

Here’s how I did just that this weekend: “Sometimes all you need to do is pour yourself a drink and cook a healthy meal.” Sunset slideshow: After a long week, spending time … Continue reading Relax and Restore
