It's a sad fact that after my elimination diet, I realized I couldn't have coffee. Very sad. My Puerto Rican/Portuguese ass formerly joked that my blood type was Café Bustelo. But that threw a wrench into my nutrition, as I always started my morning with some...
You can take the girl out of Florida, but you can’t take the Florida out of the girl! This key lime pie recipe in smoothie bowl form makes me feel like I’m back in high school, swinging by Publix on the way home from the beach—sunburnt and salty and ready for the kind...
I'm a huge fan of smoothie bowls, but get sick of eating the same thing all the time. Thankfully, it's easy enough to keep a few ingredients on hand to customize throughout the week. But we can get into the details later. I know you're only here for one thing:...
