Now that I have mastered making almond butter and nut/seed butter cups in my high powered blender (it makes all the difference!), I can’t stop creating unique and delicious flavors in my kitchen. Creating new recipes has almost become an addiction. One thing I enjoy daily is a nice refreshing smoothie. Homemade smoothie recieps can be chocked full […]

Homemade Cashew Milk Recipe
Sweet, delicious homemade cashew milk – how I love you so. I’m constantly sipping on something around the house, and I’m a big nut milk drinker for a lot of reasons (see below!) You can bet that when I’m not drinking my green smoothie with homemade almond milk or homemade coconut milk, I’m enjoying a batch of homemade cashew […]

It is this high concentration of vitamin C that gives oranges their reputation for fighting off cold and flu viruses. Did you know that oranges also contain vitamins A and B1, potassium, folate, calcium and dietary fiber? They have been shown […]
Grapefruit Ginger Juice
