Sharing 20 superfood smoothie recipes.

Hi hi! How’s the day going? I hope you’re having a great one! W’re still traveling around but check out the adventures on IG stories!

For today, let’s talk about one of my favorite foods: smoothies!

Smoothies are a delicious and convenient way to pack a variety of nutrients into your diet, especially when you incorporate superfoods. These nutrient-rich ingredients not only enhance the flavor of your smoothie but also provide a range of health benefits. In this blog post, we’ll explore 20 superfood smoothie combinations featuring ingredients like coconut, maca, goji berries, cacao, chia seeds, and spirulina to help you nourish your body and energize your day.

What are superfoods?

Superfoods are nutrient-dense foods that are particularly rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other beneficial compounds. These foods are believed to offer exceptional health benefits beyond basic nutrition. While there is no official definition of superfoods, they are typically whole foods—such as fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and certain grains—that are recognized for their high nutritional content and potential to promote health and well-being. Some examples of commonly recognized superfoods include berries (like blueberries, strawberries, and acai berries), leafy greens (such as kale, spinach, and Swiss chard), nuts and seeds (like almonds, chia seeds, and flaxseeds), fatty fish (such as salmon and sardines), whole grains (like quinoa and oats), and certain spices (such as turmeric and cinnamon). These foods are often praised for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties, among other health benefits. Incorporating a variety of superfoods into your diet can help support overall health and vitality.

How To Become A Certified Holistic Health Coach

Understanding what it means to be a certified holistic health coach is the first step towards reaching your goal. This guide is designed to be your go-to resource, outlining the necessary steps, tips, and insights to help you navigate your journey. Let’s break it down and get you started on this exciting path!

What Is A Certified Holistic Health Coach?

A certified holistic health coach is a wellness professional trained to help clients improve their overall health and well-being. Unlike health coaches with a specific niche, holistic health coaches take a comprehensive approach, considering physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. They use their coaching skills to guide clients through lifestyle changes, stress management, weight loss, mental health improvements, and more.

Certified holistic health coaches are different because they focus on the whole person rather than just addressing specific health concerns. This makes holistic health coaching a satisfying career, as you get to see the transformative impact on your clients’ lives. You’ll work with clients to develop personalized plans, support their journey, and help them achieve their health and wellness goals.

Peach Cobbler French Toast Casserole [+Video]

This peach cobbler french toast casserole is loaded with cinnamon-y peaches, tender sweet bread and a crumb topping that will knock your socks off.

I love that we are starting to get fresh peaches from the local farmers and there’s nothing like peaches and fresh whipped cream. If you’ve never made your own, well you have missed out. I love everything about fresh whipped cream including (and I know this is a little silly) knowing that some sweet dairy farm here in Utah worked hard just for you and me. It’s why I teamed up with the Dairy Council to talk about delicious dairy products.

I wait all summer for the farm stands to start carrying peaches and as soon as they do I’m all over it like flies on a porta potty….er that’s gross but I’m all over it, and that’s the point. This Peach Cobbler French Toast Casserole is seriously the perfect breakfast to celebrate such a lovely, luscious fruit.

Good heavens, just look at all of that buttery cobbler, crumble topping and it’s swimming in our favorite buttermilk syrup. Mmmmm, buttermilk syrup. Shall we have a moment of silence for the world’s best syrup? Even my Aunt Jemima lovin’ husband (no joke, he’d rather have store bought than homemade maple syrup) prefers buttermilk syrup over all else. It’s fantastic.

Soft, chewy and just barely crisp on the edges chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies are memorably good. This is one of my favorite cookie combinations.

There is no bad time of day (or even year!) for cookies. And these cookies? You’re going to want them all day (and year) long.

Chocolate Chip Cookies with Nuts

Most folks have robust opinions about whether chocolate chip cookies are better with or without nuts. We’re pretty firmly in the “yes, please!” camp.

Putting nuts in cookies makes them more substantial as a snack. Now they’re not quite health food even with nuts, but they do fill you up faster!

And the buttery, tender, rich macadamia nuts are a perfect complement to decadent, melted, gooey chocolate chips and crisp edged cookie.

Of course, you can leave the nuts out if you are Team No Thank You to nuts in cookies. You don’t have to change anything else in the recipe; just omit the nuts.

Welcome to the weekend, my friends! It’s been a week of beautiful weather here in Ohio and I’ve spent much of it either walking outdoors or enjoying the breeze through the window next to my desk. Today is promising a bit of rain and I’m looking forward to an afternoon at home with a book and maybe a puzzle too, depending on whether my older kids are home and interested in doing said puzzle with me. I’m happy to have a fridge filled with leftovers and no reason or motivation to cook today.

What I’m CRAVING: Anything at all with fresh peaches! From southern peach cobbler to this peach caprese salad and warm bowls of peach oatmeal, I will happily eat peaches with every meal these days. I adore pizza with fresh peaches and arugula with a bit of balsamic,
