We’ve Experienced the Best Results When We Follow the Primal Blueprint Recommendations

Image
It’s Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here . I’ll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading! It is now nearly four years ago that our initial story was shared on MDA. Over that time, we have experimented a lot with our diet and lifestyle to see what type of diet-exercise regimen best suits our bodies. To make a long story short, we have experienced the best results when we follow the Primal Blueprint recommendations. The path that MDA set us on many years ago has been hugely beneficial to us and our family and we are very grateful for that. In the past years, our family has grown and we are now the proud parents of four children. This obviously puts a lot of pressure on our time, but one of the biggest benefits we feel we get from ea

Nutritionist-Approved Cocktails to Sip All Summer Long

Popular summer cocktails like margaritas and daiquiris can tip the scales at more than 600 calories per serving. Since moderate alcohol consumption (1 drink a day for ladies and 2 for men) can be beneficial to heart health, cocktail lovers should seek out sensible sippers. So here are 6 cocktails that keep things on the skinny side for the summer season. Whiskey Fresh mint leaves and only 1 teaspoon of sugar provide an abundance of cool and minty flavor in a refreshing Mint Julep  (pictured above).  Tequila Lots of fresh fruit permeates this Watermelon Plata Tequila Cocktail with cell-protecting antioxidants. Blending fresh watermelon into the mix provides a vibrant pink hue. Gin Brewed tea adds flavor to cocktails like this Mango Ice Tea with Gin for practically no calories. Dial up the flavor with 100-percent fruit juice.     Vodka Cucumber juice makes for extra refreshing summer cocktails like in our Cucumber Cocktail . Garnish with cucumber slices so your guests know w

Every Herb Salmon Salad

Image
It seems the older I get, the more and more I love fresh herbs! My favorites are a tie between rosemary and dill, but I also love Italian parsley, thyme, and basil. All of the above were picked from this year’s herb garden! Last summer, I created this Every Herb Salad Dressing that blends all my favorite herbs with yogurt, olive oil and lemon juice for a bright and creamy dressing. Today’s salmon salad was inspired by that! I generally like a combination of yogurt and mayo in my fishy salads (tuna, salmon, sardine). The yogurt brightens and lightens, but using some  mayo provides a richness that yogurt alone cannot create. I am partnering with the new KRAFT Avocado Oil Mayo for this post as a healthy swap to traditional mayonnaise. Made with — you guessed it —  avocado oil,  it has a healthier fat profile than typical mayo, which is often made from soybean oil. The KRAFT Avocado Oil Mayo contains 232 mg of Omega-3 alpha-Linolenic acid in every serving, and it’s also made from
