Juicing Recipes - Ultimate Juice Recipe Resouce

Holy cow. Monday isn’t even close to over, but it’s already hit me like a ton of bricks. Blahhhh. Let’s hope this isn’t a sign for the rest of the week! Once again, I just need to THANK YOU guys for all of your awesome responses on my recent CNC survey. The majority of you wanted more “day in the life” posts, so your wish is my command, and I’ll do my best to keep up with them. They’re actually my favorite kind of post to write, which, of course, is how this blog started nearly 10 years ago, but now I feel like alllllllll I do is sit at a computer and work. Boring. Ha! But, hey, maybe I can make it exciting, right? 😉 This morning kicked off with a big bowl of Chia-Flaxseed + Protein Overnight Oats with a big scoop of  Trader Joe’s Crunchy Salted Peanut Butter with Flax & Chia Seeds . I’m still trucking along with the seed cycling-hormonal stuff , and I find this is recipe is the easiest way to get all of those flax and chia seeds into my diet! And, of course the pug w...

For today’s edition of Dear Mark , I’m answering two questions about two recent studies. First, given that the omega-3 alpha linolenic acid (ALA) has been shown to reduce some of the positive effects of exercise on rats’ metabolic health, could the omega-3s found in fish oil (DHA and EPA) also nullify exercise benefits? Second, what are my thoughts on the recent study showing a link between breakfast skipping and subclinical atherosclerosis? Ethan asked: So what does the ALA study say about fish oil supplementation? Or do we expect this adverse effects were specifically caused by ALA and wouldn’t be caused by DHA or EPA? Not sure, to be honest. There is one study from 1998 where dietary fish oil had beneficial immune effects in sedentary rats, enhancing the anti-tumor activity of killer T cells, but not in people who exercised. What’s interesting about this study is that ALA and exercise were independently protective, but there was no additive effect. That is, if you just...

Good morning and a very happy Monday to you! I love a good  High Low High  blog post, so here’s a recap of our weekend, which shares both the high and low points from it. I always like to focus on the positive side of things, so there’s typically more highs than lows. With that, here we go! And, of course, I’d love to hear about your weekend too, so feel free to share some highs and lows in the comment section below! HIGH: Working out at Salt Shack on Saturday morning! It was such a busy week last week, I only made it there once, so I was excited to get my sweat on! LOW: Mal missing class because of Saturday school (basically, it’s weekend detention – he does it every few months.) HIGH: Working out with Marisa! Salt Shack is kind of far from her her house, but she sometimes pops in on the weekend, and it was fun working out and catching up with her! HIGH: Visiting Coffee Shack after class for a glazed donut and iced coffee. LOW: Quinn leaving the lame part of th...

We are on our honeymoon! Check Instagram and Facebook for sneak peeks of our trip throughout the week. Mazen is enjoying a long visit from KK while we’re gone, but we miss his sweet face so much. Rather than pre-write a bunch of recipes or go silent for a week, I thought this would be a great time to share some more of our wedding photos and details. I want to write these posts as much for myself as for you! A huge thanks goes to my friend and photographer, Sarah Cramer Shields of Cramer Photo, for turning all 1700 photos around so quickly! She is THE best in so many ways, and I hope you’ll agree her photos telling a beautiful story. Follow her online and on Instagram ! Today’s topic is getting ready! Hair and make-up My BFF Lauren did my make-up as well as my sister, mom, cousin, and Sarah. She always does a great job, and wedding make-up is one of her specialties! Sarah and I together curled my hair and pinned it up. I was glad not to have to spend a long time getting...
