If you were like me, cereal was a staple in the morning. My house was stocked with at least 8-12 boxes of cereal, I kid you not. We had it all. Most cereals, even organic ones, contain some type of oil such as sunflower, safflower, canola, rapeseed, as well as added sugars, syrups and salt. It’s the 3 key ingredients …

About a month ago we had a huge snow storm hit Northern Virginia and I took it as an opportunity to make some pancakes! 😉 These are extremely filling, full of protein and fiber so they are great to have after being active or before going on a long trip or hike to help you stay fuller, longer if you …

Namaste everyone! This is going to be a really quick post as I am currently on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico! The papayas here are so incredible sweet I eat about 4 a day so I decided to whipped up these tropical breakfast parfaits to start my day. Papayas amazing for your skin and digestion, I love everything about …

Ahh just one of the many many things I love about raw foods, the COLORS! So bright, vivid and full of life and nutrients! What’s not to love? These little parfaits are made with pitaya (aka red dragon fruit), which gives them that gorgeus magenta color. For this recipe I used Pitaya Plus, which is an organic raw vegan frozen …

Hello everyone!!  I celebrated my birthday on the 15th of this month and traveled to sunny Puerto Rico with my husband and brother.  We had the most wonderful, healing time discovering new places around the island.  On my birth day, we went to El Yunque National Rainforest and the energy there is indescribable!  We visited beaches, collected shells and just soaked up …

I will keep this post short and simply today! I’m currently in Houston, Texas visiting the lovely Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram and her family. It is so wonderful to be here sharing my love for raw food with people who love and share the passion for this lifestyle. When I woke up this morning, I couldn’t wait to make some cereal and …

Because sometimes you just crave a nice bowl of cereal 🙂  Yup, you can still eat raw and have your cereal too!  It is jammed packed with flavor and nutrition and a great way to start your morning!  I love making a variety of different fruity cereals, it’s filling, sweet, satisfying, and oh soooo good!  Growing up, cereal was basically a stable food …

I bought a case of bananas last week and it was the perfect time to take out my dehydrator for a special treat! I use bananas most often in smoothies, so for this recipe I wanted to try something a little different. I love these crepes because you can have them for either breakfast or dessert (or both)! Don’t let …

This was my first time making both the banana crepes and the strawberry cream, and all I kept telling myself was, “you can never go wrong with crepes!” Whether its for breakfast or a snack, these crepes are a yummy way to add some flavor to your day! They came out absolutely delicious and quickly became a favorite among my …

Don’t let the name fool you, buckwheat is not wheat, it is actually a seed and is gluten free! I like to soak the buckwheat groats over night so they are soft to eat in the morning. Buckwheat is starchy, so it’s important to make sure you rinse your buckwheat groats over and over again until they water is clear. …
