How often do you purchase carrots at the farmers market and have the greens chopped off and left behind? Well today I am going to give you a recipe to have you stop the nonsense!!!

This juice is perfect for summer, it’s hydrating, de-bloating, alkalizing and did I mention it tastes delicious. A sip of this juice and you will feel as though you are lounging at a spa waiting to be whisked away for a massage.

During a weekend trip home I was gifted a shopping bag filled with fresh basil, so this week be prepared for a lot of basil inspired dishes. Yesterday we had a Summer Salad with a Basil and Pine Nut Pesto, and today I am switching it up a bit with Pistachios and Garlic Scape.

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!!!

This time of year it is easy to catch a cold. We are outside sweating and walk inside to air conditioning. When working out and sweating indoors the air is usually blasting. The days have been rainy and humid and eventually this can take a toll on our bodies and as a health coach I am not safe either.

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!
