This peach + mango lassi was my go-to drink this time last year when I was 9 months pregnant. Now, it’s my go-to snack for Rose and almost one year old Max. We’ve come full circle. It combines the classic flavor of a mango lassi with in-season peaches, plus a couple additional ingredients to make…

Cacao, Almond + Date Shake with Maca — Hormone Balancing
I had the rather shocking realization the other day that my body hasn’t been my own for over 4 years. Pregnant with Rose, breastfeeding Rose, straight into pregnant with Max and now breastfeeding Max. It’s awe-inspiring what a woman’s body can do, and I feel extremely grateful to experience it first-hand. But I’d be lying…
Watermelon + Strawberry Cooler with Coconut Water and Lime
Between the never-ending heat wave (really, heat AND humidity wave) and being 8 months pregnant, staying hydrated is a feat these days. I constantly have a drink in hand, and while water is great and all, I like to change it up throughout the day with something a bit more interesting. I have been making…
Strawberry Probiotic Smoothie Bowl with Oats + Almond Butter
I’m not usually a smoothie-for-breakfast type of person. A smoothie rarely feels substantial enough in the morning, and I tend to favor hearty, warm foods to start the day. But when the temperatures top 90, the humidity is overwhelming and the heat index might as well be a billion degrees, smoothies are what I crave….
Morning Digestion Tonic with Lemon, Turmeric and Ginger + A Pregnancy Update
Oh, hi! In case you missed it on Instagram, I recently announced I am pregnant with baby number two! I am due in September and am currently 18 weeks. You may have noticed over the last few months my posting was a little less frequent and there was not as much new content — now…
Beet, Berry + Blood Orange Smoothie
Oh blood orange season, how I love thee! If you follow me on Instagram, you know I am obsessed with blood oranges, to put it mildly. Beets… well, I like beets. I wouldn’t say we’ve reached the level in our relationship where I would use the word love, but I like them. I appreciate them….
Spiced Pomegranate Kombucha Float with Health-Ade Holiday Cheers
This post is sponsored by Health-Ade Kombucha, whose products I use and love. All opinions are 100% my own. Cheers! It’s almost the weekend — and only two weekends left before Christmas. How this happened, I do not know. It is usually right about now when the last-minute holiday panic sets in, as does the…
Ways to Pack Greens into Your Toddler’s Diet + Green Smoothie Recipe
You’ve heard me say it before – Rose eats what we eat. Of course, this isn’t always possible, and one of the main conundrums has been dark leafy greens such as kale, spinach or chard. They are packed with nutritional benefits and a huge part of my diet, but they are hard for babies and…
Blueberry-Purple Sweet Potato Smoothie with Tahini and Miso
I love to play sweet and savory flavors off of each other, and this smoothie is the perfect result of my oddball tinkering. While I do love a frozen banana based smoothie, I find it can be a little harsh on my stomach at times. Cauliflower, zucchini and/or sweet potato are great stand-ins, because they…
Golden Immunity Smoothie with Citrus, Pineapple and Turmeric
This was my first full winter as a mom. During the past few months, I experienced anew the many joys of the season – the first snowfall, Christmas, the insane cuteness of a snowsuit, the difficulty of wrangling a toddler into a stroller + stroller muff + rain cover while wearing said snowsuit, and colds…so. many. colds. I feel like…
