Happy Gratitude Week! I love this time of year, and all of the colors and flavors that come along with it. Recently I’ve been channeling all the harvest vibes and starting my mornings with pumpkin oatmeal and all the spices, and it’s probably the most nourishing breakfast I’ve ever had to date. And needless to […]

Have you ever had a painkiller? The cocktail drink version, I mean? If you have, you’re familiar with how dangerously yummy they are. This anti-inflammatory pineapple green smoothie recipe is inspired by that delicious island drink – but it’s actually packed with health benefits! My Introduction to the Painkiller Cocktail – Island Life in a […]

My go-to nutrient-dense, anti-oxidant rich, anti-inflammatory blueberry green smoothie recipe

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted a recipe here, or anything related to food for that matter! I’ll be honest – this green smoothie was a totally random ‘what do I have to make a smoothie with’ kinda smoothie. I’d happened to pick up a couple kiwis from the store, and lately […]

Omg December is flying by!!! I absolutely adore Christmas. Everything about it. Especially the baking and the cookies. I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to share this post – things down here have been in full swing between Basel and the holidays and life.

Cold soup sounds a little odd at first. Raw soup sounds like one of those new-aged health fads. But in reality, there’s nothing new or odd about gazpacho, a classic dish in Spanish cuisine. While on vacation the other day, my mom served her homemade gazpacho and I enthusiastically sipped up every last drop. And […]

The other week I met my friend for yoga and dinner at a vegan café in Coconut Grove. It’s an adorable spot, with smoothies, salads, and even vegan pizza. They have so many customizable options, so I decided to create my own salad. Walnut meat was on the menu and I was intrigued – I’d […]

Well it’s official – I’m on an avocado smoothie kick! After last week’s green superfood avocado smoothie, I decided to get inspiration from my own recipe and made a dark chocolate avocado smoothie. Like the avocado chocolate mousse, this smoothie is super smooth and creamy, and full of decadent chocolate flavor. But I went superfood […]
