Is it really better in the buff?

Want to lose weight? Suffering from arthritis, asthma, acne, cancer? Concerned about the welfare of animals? How about people? Local Economy? The Environment? Good, then you're in the right place to make a difference.

Personally, I have a rabid passion for environmental conservation and sustainability, optimum mental, physical, and spiritual health, animal rights, and human rights, so the answer is clear: plant-based, organic foods.

Others out there may simply want to improve their dietary choices to combat chronic illness or to lose weight, or contribute less to environmental degradation, or maybe you just have an emotional attachment to cows. ;) In these cases, you may be satisfied with making minor changes to your grocery list, and so this blog can be a tool for a reformation, rather than a total transformation. Great!

Either way, I am here to assist you and guide you along your journey to a healthier you! This blog has something for everyone, even the die-hard omnivore, because even meat-eaters like the occasional vegetable.

Smoothie Operator

It's a beautiful, sunny Saturday in Asheville!

I have dedicated my day to my studies, which means, unfortunately, that I will be enjoying the 60 degree mountain sunshine from my dining room table.

However, that just gives me one more reason to drink some sunshine from a cup!  As if I needed more reasons than the fabulous flavor and bountiful benefits for my body!

Today's concoction is called...

Cleaning Out the Freezer!


See?

Yesterday, I was inspired by this blog to tweak my smoothie routine .  I had fallen into a rut with my recipes.

As much as I'd love to try the Pear and Dandelion Greens, or the Kale, Apple, Ginger smoothie, I had to work with what was laying around the house.  And I must admit, it doesn't suck.


I added an avocado at the last minute (forgot they were hiding out in my fruit drawer in the fridge), so it's not pictured.  But you can tell by the muted pink shade of the final result that I added a bit more green.



The added benefit of cleaning out my freezer?  I also get to clean out my body. 

It's okay; be jealous.
