The little seed with a lot to offer: Chia

Chia seeds have actually been revered by Mayan, Incan and Aztec cultures for thousands of years.To experience the true definition of delicious hydrating refreshment, try my variation of the Mexican classic: Coconut Lime Chia Fresca.

Energy Tartlets

One of my favorite desserts – a beautiful, fresh fruit energy tart – will cost you about 10 minutes start-to-finish. In fact, by using simply healthy substitutions and time-saving tricks, these tarts emanate big flavor, well-rounded nutrition, and are healthy enough to be consumed at any time of the day. We healthy dessert people are pretty sneaky, no?

The Acai-tini

One of my favorite clean cocktails is The Acai Tini, because the mix actually includes a superstar superfood: Acai. A small purple berry that with a mild blackberry flavor, Acai is touted as a highly condensed source of antioxidants. So yes, a martini with benefits!

Fresh Fettucini Puttanesca

A vibrant, flavorful and healthy version of this classic Italian dish. Low carb, gluten free, and made with fresh vegetables.
