Amazing Ginger-Kale Lemonade (no refined sugar!)
I make a smoothie each morning. This morning I experimented and the results were so delicious that I had to share. It's a take on a ginger lemonade, but for a punch of health I added a handful of kale and used frozen pineapple to sweeten (adds fiber and avoids refined or fake sugars). You can drink the ENTIRE blender for…

Over on sugar???
Hi there! I eat an entirely plant-based, whole foods diet. That means no processed foods or typical refined sugar. If I do add sweetener it is generally honey or agave, but I try to steer clear of that when possible. I do, however, eat a "lot" (1-3 pieces/day) of fruit (usually strawberries, blueberries, bananas, peaches,…

Somehow I gained weight. I know I haven't…

This movie changed my whole outlook
http://www.forksoverknives.com/ I just watched Forks Over Knives and it was incredible. It's a bit dry because it's loaded with scientific information, but well worth it. My grandpa has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and I have seen his struggle. It's really hard to watch a loved one go through it. I don't want…

Filling vegan recipes?
Anyone have any good (and filling!) vegan recipes, preferably involving "whole foods" and not processed faux meat? I'm always looking for new and creative ways to feed myself!

Newish, Would Adore MFP Buddies
I recently signed-up for MFP and am really loving it! I'm hopeful that tracking my food and exercise will show me how what I eat, and whether I exercise, affects the way I feel - both physically and emotionally. I also want to get buff! To motivate me, I just signed up for a 15-K race and am super pumped. The only thing…
