Emily’s Green Monster Smoothie

Emily’s Green Monster Smoothie

When you make a Green Monster Smoothie, don’t bother with measurements. Just go for it. My sister-in-law said that I should open my own Green Monster Smoothie bar at our local Farmer’s Market. I think it’s a brilliant idea! Maybe this Spring? *** My $20 Oster blender works just fine for me! You don’t need...

My $20 Blender Works for Me!

My $20 Blender Works for Me!

When we started eating this super healthy nutrient-dense way, we both really wanted a super blender like a BlendTec or a Vitamix. Joe and I would practically drool over them. Everyday Joe would say, “We just HAVE to get one of those blenders, if we’re really going to do this.” But they cost between $300...

Vegan or Nutritarian?

Vegan or Nutritarian?

For ease of explanation, we’ve been telling people that we’re eating a Vegan diet. Well, it is true! But there is more to it than that. Vegan seems to be a loaded term, which is fine if you feel it accurately describes you—not only what you eat, but the reasons why, which (for veganism) seem...

The Payoff! The Cure?

The Payoff! The Cure?

Here are a few payoffs I’ve noticed so far, but I’m not claiming they’re totally connected to eating this super healthy way though I’m inclined to think so myself. This has not been any sort of scientific experiement, but it has been a personal one none-the-less. Eczema gone. I should note that I have been...

July 4th, How Do We Party?

Our friends are having a BBQ Potluck, yippy! Wait!  What will we do? We’ll be surrounded! Before we decided to do this whole big healthy eating kick, Joe and I already talked about this.

Cheats, Eats, Sleeps, Withdrawal: A Review of the First 3 Days

Today we begin our 4th day on this VegiCarni eating thang. Curious about how its been going so far? Here is the low down… Cheats: I’ve sneaked chocochips. Guilty. Got rid of those last night though, and consequently (I think) have suffered from a nasty headache a few hours after the 2 times I cheated....

The Six Week Plan

The Six Week Plan

So, what is the plan anyway? Well, the basic idea behind it is that you should eat plenty of healthful, nutrient packed foods, and avoid foods that are high in calories but empty in nutrients. Makes sense, huh? But without a plan, I’m pretty sure I’ll be making brownies by the middle of the second...
