I recently received Brightcore Nutrition's TrueFood Chocolate Superfood powder and Sweet Wheat Wheat Grass Powder Capsules to sample.

Today's… Continue reading #FlavorfulFriday – Immune Boosting Blueberry Pineapple Green Smoothie
Happy Friday! We had our first heat wave of the summer this week and today its cooled down a bit.

I found this coconut… Continue reading #FlavorfulFriday – Lemon Raspberry Coconut Flour Muffins
During the summer months we sweat even more than usual, so it's always good to have electrolyte replacement drinks on hand. The problem with store bought electrolyte drinks is all the sodium, artificial colors & flavors and sugars. It's super simple to make your own at home, plus it's cheaper, and in my opinion, much… Continue reading #FlavorfulFriday – Homemade Electrolyte Drink
