Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
This past week I've been trying to take in as my super foods as possible. I probably get a cold 2-3 times a year and every time it happens, I like to eat and drink tons of greens and vegetables, including my favorite go-to turmeric juices. In the past month alone, my cold-brew coffee addiction headed into full gear and I was drinking multiple cups of it per day. When I finally ran out, I resorted ...
I've said it on my blog before how I love vegan food. Some people even ask me if I'm vegan when they first meet me and realize I'm a health foodie.

If you were to open my refrigerator at this point, all you would see is some Trader Joe's guacamole, three different jars of half consumed hummus (the life ...
Whenever my dad comes to town, his visit turns into a three-day packed adventure of eating at all of my favorite spots in the city. Places I never get the opportunity to go to due to transportation limitations or money availability (hate to admit it but it's true). Weeks before his arrival, my computer becomes quite familiar with Yelp! and those hidden gems that display the four or five-star ...
It seems to me that every time I go into my kitchen to make a smoothie, I always lean towards the same fruits, greens and add-ins. I'll go for the closest tub of Vega protein I have in my cupboard (one of my favorite on the market), almond milk, maybe some nut butter and a banana.
