Banana Blueberry Overnight Oats A submitted recipe by Wendy Nugent, published with permission. This is basically my version of Overnight Oats In A Jar from a website called skinnytaste.com. I have been eating this as a quick go-to breakfast, but still felt like I was lacking in the protein department. I like to eat my oats cold, but some people like to take it out of the refrigerator for a few minutes before they eat it, to take the "chill" out. Let me know what you think! 2 Tbsp Modere Pure Vanilla Slim Shake or your favorite plant-based protein powder 1 cup Unsweetened Almond milk 1/4 cup old fashioned rolled…

Many women accept their weight because of their age especially if they are over forty. Some may use their age as a reason why they have lost all control of their body (and sometimes their mind!). I'm here to tell you that you can be at your ideal weight no matter what your age. I know because I did it in my forties and it was a pretty simple process if you take one step at a time. First step is to eliminate processed food. I chose REAL, WHOLE foods grown naturally or certified organic and preferably non GMO. Eliminating the pesticides and herbicides reduces the toxic load to your body. Besides…

How to Prevent Hormone Imbalances Are you hormones out of balance? Do you know what hormone imbalance looks and feels like? Symptoms range from mood issues, PMS, infertility and more, but these symptoms are just a few that women "deal with" and consider just part of being a woman. However, I am excited to share the fact that many of the negative symptoms relating to a woman's reproductive health can be minimized or even avoided! Symptoms of Imbalance Menopause Did you know, two-thirds of women suffer with menopausal symptoms? As women age, hormone levels become imbalanced as the body produces less of them. Estrogen and progesterone, the two primary hormones, work together…

Spicy Sweet & Sour Eggplant Recipe Eggplants are in season and we've been blessed abundantly with them from our CSA. I made this last night and it was delicious. Whether you are buying your eggplant from the local farmers market, growing your own or finding them in your CSA shares this month, consider trying this mouth watering whole foods recipe for a meat free night one day this week. Some notes on the recipe: The Arrowroot powder is the thickener in the sauce which replaces Cornstarch (typically GMO stuff). Obviously, cornstarch works as well if you don't have access to arrowroot. The Sweet & Sour Sauce would be great with stir-fry…

This Cranberry date salad is a bit addicting! As a bonus, it contains all whole foods. Plus, I recommend using organic ingredients as well to prevent adding things you don't need in your diet such as pesticides and herbicides. It contains dates as a natural sweetener and does not contain sugar. This is so delicious, I eat it for dessert! 2 cups raw cranberries 8 large Medjool dates (pitted) 2 oranges peeled 1 apple chopped 4 tablespoons walnuts Place all ingredients in a food processor or Vitamix and blend for one-two minute. The mix should be chunky. Serve immediately and store in the refrigerator. I like to add…
