*Fresh or frozen strawberries work. Keep in mind that adding fresh strawberries as a garnish is what makes the strawberry flavor pop. If all you have is frozen berries, they work too! A few tips: consider saving out a few and thawing them for a garnish (you don’t need to thaw the berries that go into the pot with the oatmeal). Since they’re more tart than fresh berries, add a little extra maple syrup. **If you like a sweeter oatmeal, use 3 tablespoons. Keep in mind, the maple syrup drizzled over the top adds the final sweetness. You can also…

These cute little bites need to be in your fridge or freezer ASAP. They truly have the flavor of your favorite peanut butter cookie dough but without the risky business of eating raw eggs! My absolutely perfect protein cookie dough bites are made with simple ingredients, plus mini chocolate chips (for happiness) and you know I shared plenty of easy ways to make them your own.

We’re talking propaganda I’m not falling for in health, wellness and life. I saw this trend on Instagram and thought it would make a great post.  While the term propaganda is usually negative and political (in fact, the definition of the word propaganda is actually “information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view”), today, I’m using the word in a bit more light-hearted way. We’re talking about things I don’t really believe in in health, wellness and life. Here we go … Fasting diets with extremely restrictive eating windows.…

This is a noodle salad you’ll crave every day. A radiant, color-flecked tangle of noodles, cabbage, shredded carrots, pickled sushi ginger, and an abundance of cilantro, basil, and scallions. It has tofu and peanuts, coconut, ginger, avocado, and hemp seeds. The dressing(!) – it’s simple but strong, and steps in with an assertive spicy sriracha-lime punch. This is one of those near-perfect one dish meals. You might not want to prep this many ingredients every day, but you’ll forget about that detail the minute you take a bite. And you can see exactly how it comes together in the video…

This chocolate hummus recipe has become my most-requested party dip! What sounds unusual at first turns into pure magic—a rich, chocolatey treat that’s perfect for dipping everything from strawberries to pretzels. When I first heard about chocolate hummus years ago, I was both skeptical…and curious. Chickpeas and chocolate? It sounded like one of those weird health food experiments gone wrong. But one bite completely changed my mind—it was rich, creamy, and satisfying: more like a fruit dip than hummus! I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and I knew I had to recreate it at home. After several test batches tweaking…
