Being born in July I am most definitely a summer baby in all aspects. I love the water, I love the sun and I LOVE summer fruits and vegetables!!!

I love this salad, it is super simple to make takes no more then 10 minutes and unless you have an apple allergy you are sure to love it!

It has been 5 years since I gave up coffee, while I may miss the flavor of a freshly brewed cup I do not miss the jittery feeling that would last through the day or the migraines that seemed to come along with a lack or abundance of coffee or espresso.

My name is Lauren and I am addicted to awesome breakfast toasts. The Union Square Market was filled with such amazing produce yesterday it was hard for me to not purchase everything in site... so its safe to say I did close to that!

Pitaya and Acai seem to be having all of the fun these days, but let us not forget about another fantastic superfood, Spirulina.

This drink is the essence of summer in a glass. What is better then some juicy watermelon in the summer? Not much if you ask me... well that was until I threw some in the blender and added some mint!!!

Acai, Pitaya, Matcha... can't get enough of these super foods? Me neither. I have officially joined in on the bowl craze! Similar to salads there is no right or wrong when it comes to a smoothie bowl, it is all up to you based on your taste preference as well as your bodies needs.

With the weather quickly warming up in the city this week I was craving a cool, crisp and refreshing salad. This easy to prepare dish will not disappoint, a perfect dish to impress guests this summer, or enjoy a big plate on a meatless Monday!
