Fruit Basket

After spending the afternoon running errands with my mom I was in need of a refreshing and light snack. There is always fresh fruit and kale chips in my house and so instead of reaching for a bag of potato chips or a bowl of cereal (one of my favorite snacks...oops!) I made a bowl of bright red fruit!

My fruit bowl contains watermelon, strawberries, and plumots (which is a plum with an apricot taste). 

Alert! Contaminated Frozen Berry Mix

I just found out about the contaminated frozen organic antioxidant berry mix. I used these berries in my smoothies the past month. Please discard those berries if you purchased them.

Infused Waters

I am back in hot Las Cruces for my summer internship and I want to be sure to continue my clean eating and workouts from the past 2 months. I have been spoiled in the mountain fresh air and 70-80 degree weather the past 2 months. My mom and sister eat very healthy and only shop at the local Co-Op. I thought I would post about infused waters to provide a refreshing and healthy alternative to those classic summer beverages such as, sweet tea, lemonade, and Coke.

Today I made infused Lemon Mint Water.  I used fresh mint leaves from the local farmer's market and 3 drops of ingestible  Doterra Lemon Essential Oil. Of course you could squeeze some fresh lemon into your water, but we were out of lemons today.
