Smoothies

While my sister and I couldn’t be more different, my cousin (Joy) and I couldn’t be more similar. That’s why I wasn’t at all surprised that she spent the week she was visiting perfecting her chocolate chip cookie smoothie recipe. And boy am I thankful…

Bet you never expected cranberries in a smoothie. That makes two of us. No, I’m not trying to start a new superfood trend. Honestly, this smoothie was born out of the abundance of leftover cranberries from the holidays that are now crowding my freezer. But,…

Did you overindulge during the holidays? Me too. Two weeks later, I still feel bloated, heavy, and just blah. It seems as though it’s taking longer than usual to feel back to “normal”. It’s kind of like I have a really big holiday hangover. Please…

Looking for a creamy, satisfying banana-free smoothie? Look no further, because this smoothie is everything! Full disclosure: mango has never really been my thing, but a sale on organic mango at Whole Foods prompted me to give it another chance and I’m so glad I…
