Hello friends! It’s that time of year in Philippines when our temperatures in Celsius are approximately equal to my family’s temperatures in Colorado in Farenheit, about 35-40 degrees in each place. It makes us feel closer, I think! In any case, this delicious tropical pineapple smoothie is perfect for our season here… and for my …
Hello friends! This mango banana smoothie bowl will keep you cool no matter the weather… and here in Philippines it’s HOT. Around December through the end of February I always get a little smug feeling inside and think to myself, “Oh, I’ve lived here so long now I’ve acclimated to the heat.” And then March …
Hello friends! This beautiful green smoothie will refresh & replenish you, no matter how blistering it is outside. It’s getting hot, hot HOT here in Manila, although I see from my weather app that it’s still blessedly cool in some parts of the world. It’s not like we really have Spring here. It pretty much …
Hello friends! This raspberry papaya smoothie is one of the many recipes I’ve enjoyed during my contest prep that meets all my diet specs while still being decadent enough to qualify as a “treat.” Even before I started training for my fitness competition (now only 11 days away!!!), I was never an Oreo & Pop-Tart …
This blueberry protein smoothie bowl has had to wait 5 days and as many writing attempts before finally coming to you… but life is sometimes messy like that… very much like this smoothie bowl! But that doesn’t mean it isn’t still good… the smoothie bowl, I mean… and life too! These past 2 weeks have …
One of the beautiful things about writing an international blog is being able to post this refreshing Strawberry Papaya Smoothie in the dead of January, and no one will bat an eye. Because it’s not winter everywhere! While North American bloggers are wrapped in fleece blankets, posting warming lentil soups, hearty potato stews, & filling lasagnas, here …
As much as I’m looking forward to home leave at this point in the season, I admit I do get a bit misty when I think of going all summer without Philippine mangoes. My whole family loves them, and I think we eat our way through at least 15 or 20 per week… not kidding! …
The hotter it gets here, the more refreshing a green smoothie bowl tastes, especially after a workout! But I promise you, it’s fantastic even if you don’t work up a sweat beforehand. I realize I’m late to the smoothie bowl train… what’s new? But in my opinion, this train is parked at the station, and …
Happy New Year, everyone!! It’s January, and that means it’s obviously time to detox, right?? What’s the latest in cucumber water/detox soup/dandelion juice, anyway? I’m not sure… because I don’t detox. Why? Two reasons: One: my basic food philosophy is to nourish yourself “well” all the time. By that I mean eating enough calories, not skipping meals, not …
Happy Saturday, folks! I realize I’ve gone on and on about “my favourite green smoothie” without ever telling you either why I drink it, or how to make it. And that’s just wrong!! I jumped on the green smoothie train about a year ago, late as usual… But I like to think I’ve made up in green …
