Two delicious and simple smoothie recipesBlueberry Green Smoothie
1 c frozen blueberries
2 handfuls of spinach
1 scoop protein powder
1 c water (cold)
2 tbsp Chia seeds
Ice
This is probably one of my favorite healthy smoothie recipes yet. I forgot to add ice so I had to let it sit in fridge for a bit and while in there it thickened because of the addition of Chia seeds (they expand in liquid). So what does one do when it’s too thick to drink? Pour it in a bowl and eat it up with a spoon. Adding a bit of granola on top makes a nice touch. Yum! [Read more...]
Tasty Baked Sweet Potato RecipeI absolutely love sweet potatoes and black beans. I usually just put black beans on a sweet potato and eat it up but this sounds a lot tastier.

The Paleo DietIf you haven’t heard of the paleo diet, you can read the What is the Paleo diet? post I wrote for Angie last week where I explain what the paleo diet is in more detail. But today I wanted to share what a typical day might look like on the paleo diet.
Why?
Because people who have never heard of the paleo diet always wonder exactly what you might eat when you can’t eat all those non paleo diet foods. So to make it easy I thought I’d just include some pictures of what a typical day of paleo meals might look like on my plate.
What is the Paleo diet?The background of the paleo diet is built around the premise that our genetics have not changed too much since the Palaeolithic era, otherwise known as the caveman era. Palaeolithic researchers have gone into proving that this phenomenon is true and that many of our modern food sources are the key problems in the development of diseases such as weight gain/obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and so forth.
Here is a guest recipe post from my friend Jedha. She is a Paleo weight loss coach. To be honest, I have no idea what the Paleo diet is but hopefully Jedha will share more about that in another guest post.
We look forward to having her guest post here often. Please do welcome her to Losing It and Loving It. We hope you enjoy her recipe! [Read more...]
