A few months back I wrote a post about going paleofor health. I mostly wrote it as a visceral response to a blog post I read that tried to debunk the paleo diet as unhealthy and elitist. I think I did a pretty good job trouncing all of the reasons they claimed the paleo diet was so gosh darn awful. One of their "issues" with paleo though went unanswered by me though. I thought I would write a follow up post within a few days but just never got around it. The article, from way back when, claimed … [Read more...]
5 Minute Raspberry Spinach Sorbet
Looking for a cool summer treat that is easier than churning ice cream for hours and healthier than the stuff the ice man sells? This quickie sorbet is tasty, refreshing, healthy, and kid approved.

In fact this sorbet has greens in it! It may be Popeye's … [Read more...]
Conscious Box Relaunch and Giveaway!
I am a big fan of the Conscious Box and I have reviewed their monthly boxes several times over the last year or so. It's fun to get a mystery box each month and dig into random products that you have never tried...all of which are good for you (or the planet) in some way. I have found soap brands, green cleaners, nut butters, toothpaste, and many other products that I now buy regularly because I fell in love with them via the subscription box. Who has the time or money to try all the new eco … [Read more...]

The 0.25oz non-toxic Nail Polish Set With 6 Trend-Setting … [Read more...]
How to Make Homemade Almond Milk
This morning I made some raw almond milk. It is still a living food, it's vegan, and is very good for you. My two boys love to drink it straight up...my daughter would rather have raw cows milk I think. But none of them mind when I use it in cereals or in homemade raw ice cream. We also use it to make chocolate milk and banana milk which they all love. It is great as a base for milky matcha tea drink too. Yum! It is super easy to make. Other than the 8-12 hours I soak the almonds first it only … [Read more...]
