Last week, after returning from Martha’s Vineyard, I wanted a super detoxifying smoothie to help my body reset a bit after eating out a lot. This pink smoothie comes together in no time - perfect for those busy mornings or when life just gets a bit crazy. I ended up adding a little almond butter to help keep myself satiated a bit longer as well.

Adding nutrients such as protein, fat, fiber, and greens specifically work beautifully together to extend our blood sugar curve. They keep us full longer, and satisfied until our next meal. I like to make sure I pair a smoothie or some other type of carbohydrate to create a balanced meal that will help keep me full longer.

Happy Easter Everyone! It’s a different type of Easter this year, isn’t it? While in quarantine, I’m finding the mini eggs are coming in handy while I practice the 80/20 rule. I wanted to make a fun cookie for Easter this year, and I think this fits the bill!

My girlfriend two Christmas’s ago made some date bars for me. This was the second year that she dropped them off and I was obsessed and so badly wanted to recreate them! Now, I LOVE coconut and I absolutely love dates but they haven’t always LOVED me back.

Last year, it was muffins galore! This year, it’s protein cookies! But! These cookies were the most stress-free baking experience of my life! I kid you not. A banana and some shredded coconut, and I am enjoying amazing soft, yummy cookies. They are just perfect for breakfast or a snack. No artificial ingredients, no sugar, no mess. I am in love - for real!

A few years back, my girlfriend and I stumbled upon a boxed version of Gingerbread at Trader Joe's. It’s one recipe that I wanted to recreate and make gluten-free. I love grain-free loaves seasoned with fall spices.

Roasted Fennel Basil with Some Heat

Homemade Low Fodmap/Gluten Free Caesar Salad Dressing

This creamy smoothie with the blueberries and banana is a perfect combo which provides a quick snack or on-the-go breakfast.

Not into drinking bone broth every single day? Are you looking to get more gelatin into your diet but don’t like making bone broth or like the taste? I do still think you should be making broth, but gummies are a great way to get in some gut-healing nutrients. Plus they are like a little dessert!

Let's have Congee! Congee or congee is a type of rice porridge popular in many Asian countries, especially East Asia. When eaten as plain rice congee, it is most often served with side dishes.

What the heck is congee?! Let me tell you... if you can tolerate grains in your diet and are candida free, I'd recommend trying this yummy bowl of amazingness! I'm just a girl with an appetite for chocolate, even while learning to navigate SIBO. At the beginning of my treatment, I could not eat this. So far, two years out from treatments, I've been ok. I've had 8 SIBO treatments in all to date.

Here's one of my savory breakfasts that I like to eat when my SIBO is going quite well and my symptoms are at bay! Sour dough is the closest toast I have found to be able, to eat thanks to the old-fashioned baking technique that may help break down gluten in wheat. Sourdough is perfect for this yummy savory breakfast if you are craving toast!
