Superfood Lactation Smoothie

*This blog post was sponsored by Vega and Silk. So this week was eventful. I worked, worked out, explored, prepared for baby and gave birth. What a whirlwind. Without going into too much detail here I have to say that I found the birthing experience shockingly enjoyable. I ended up having a completely natural unmedicated birth that taught me so much about myself and the woman I have become. It...

This 3 Ingredient Chocolate Pudding recipe is crazy good. I would describe it as a rich chocolate fudge pudding. It has a wonderful nutrient profile, is super high in fiber and is crazy filling.

Green Julius (Healthy Orange Julius)

Green Julius (Healthy Orange Julius)

When I was little I loved Orange Julius. As I became older and found out ingredients included regular sugar, dairy (and eggs?) I quickly fell out of love. I do, however, still love the flavors of creamy orange and vanilla together. So, David and I often make this healthy version of the classic Orange Julius that we adore. It is super easy, refreshing and reminds you of those classic flavors from...

This drink works on two levels of warming. It is warm (obviously – from the title lol). But also, the ginger is a...
