Warning: The recipe shared here is ridiculously good and embarrassingly easy to make. The scene: A balmy Spring night in Downtown Manhattan. An urban sweetheart winds down yet another busy day. Eager for a healthy, home-cooked meal, she flings open the refrigerator to find a dearth of ingredients: a few stalks of kale, half of an avocado, a bulb of garlic and a package of tempeh. With her … [Read more...]

Cacao & Chia Seed Pudding
During her coaching session the other day, my client mentioned she had some chia seeds and cacao powder around and needed a recipe to put them to use. Hmmm โฆ Chocolate chia seed pudding came to mind for both of us, but I didnโt have the measurements to hand. Chia seeds are a powerful superfood that are easily digested and aid weight loss by keeping you full and reducing cravings. When mixed with … [Read more...]
The Jet Lag Workout
There's no denying that jet lag hits me hard. No matter what I do to prevent the feelings of lethargy, it always seems to creep up on me. After spending a week on the West coast, I have felt "jet laggy" all week. Today was particularly rough having slept later than usual, missing my workout and feeling groggy all day only to find myself wide awake now, after 10 p.m., when I am normally tucked in … [Read more...]
Dosing on D
In desperate need of some warmer spring weather, I took advantage of a recent opportunity to spend this past weekend in Las Vegas. A quick look at the weather forecast indicated that the temperature would be sizzling without a single cloud in sight so my decision was confirmed. Whenever I'm in the sun, I'm reminded of the importance of Vitamin D, what some in the world of nutrition say is the … [Read more...]
Healthy Snack Ideas
Brown Rice Pudding I was speaking with a Senior Executive of a global Fortune 500 company just the other day and she was lamenting that when she travels -- which is often and far -- her healthy way of eating gets thrown off track. It's buh-bye to the usual carrot sticks, and hello to chips and chocolate. Ladies, I cannot tell you how often I hear this story. Practically everyday. Having … [Read more...]
Not a Fan of the Green Smoothie?
I think I've made it very clear on more than one occasion that I am pretty much obsessed with green smoothies. But I have to confess, there are those moments when, for whatever reason, I want a smoothie but the green variety just won't do. This smoothie has become one of my favorite afternoon snacks. It's sweet, smooth and crunchy which satisfies any afternoon craving and packs a punch of protein … [Read more...]
Welcome to the Jungle: Wild Jungle Peanut Butter
At some point on my journey toward health I learned about nut butters and began experimenting with almond butter and cashew butter as an alternative to the peanut butter that had become a staple in my kitchen. Sure, I liked these options often better than peanut butter, which now seemed boring, but there were still those times when I missed my old stand-by. It wasn't until I went to Nutrition … [Read more...]
Keep It Simple
Greens are the food most commonly missing in the American diet. As a Health and Wellness Coach, I often work with clients on adding more green foods into their diets. (no ... not green M&Ms;!) At first, this can cause some overwhelm on behalf of the client who may be unfamiliar with the many green vegetables available out there and also may not be a whiz in the kitchen. But even the most … [Read more...]
Avocado Toast is for Avocado Lovers
Avocado is one of my most favorite things on this planet so when I brunched at Cafe Gitane last weekend and saw succulent avocado toast on the menu, I had to have it. To say the stuff was good is an understatement. Creamy mashed avocado, lemon juice, crushed red pepper a top hearty seven grain bread - there's nothing better! Not only is avocado tasty, it's good for you too! Yes, avocado is high in … [Read more...]
