Juicing Recipes - Ultimate Juice Recipe Resouce

Hi, guys! Happy Thursday! Once again this week, I have so many random things to tell you, so I decided to put them in a “things” blog post. This time, I have 10 things from the week to tell you about. I used to write these kind of blog posts back in the day, but somehow got away from them. They’re kind of like a “brain dump,” so there’s a little bit of everything. I hope you enjoy it! 🙂 1. A local pizzeria (Norwell Pizza on route 53) serves the most enormous slices of pizza. Holy cow! We had no idea when we ordered a slice of cheese for Quinn. Haha! He probably only ate 1/4 of it, but it definitely deserved documentation! 2. I’ve eaten Overnight Mocha Oats with Sea Salt every morning this week, and I’m in love! They’re so easy to make (I whipped up a big batch at the beginning of the week), super satisfying (especially with Teddie peanut butter), and taste so delicious! Recipe coming soon! 3. Mal sent me this article the other day, and I’m SO GLAD we use sunscreen from Beaut...

A couple months ago, a study came out that seemed to show that cheating on your keto diet with a high-carb meal opened you up to severe blood vessel damage. Nine healthy, normal weight adults followed a keto diet (70% fat, 20% protein, 10% carbs). Then they ate a high-carb “cheat meal,” measured their blood sugar, and measured their endothelial microparticles—a marker of damage to the endothelial lining and potential harbinger of impaired vascular function. Their blood sugar went way up, and so did their endothelial microparticle count, leading researchers to conclude that keto dieting makes people more susceptible to hyperglycemia-induced endothelial damage. So, is keto cheating unhealthy? Let’s take a closer look…. My Analysis Of the Study: Here’s why I don’t think this study applies to most of you: These people were on keto diets, but they weren’t keto-adapted (let alone fat-adapted). They’d only been doing the diet for a week. Bare minimum, it takes three weeks to a month fo...

NO, no we’re not using a filter, I promise!! It’s just REALLY green around here! I made this smoothie with a Fage strawberry yogurt (one of the kinds with some jam on the side) along with vanilla protein (Arbonne’s), frozen banana, milk, and a handful of raw oats. It was the JAM! Some fresh raspberries and Cville Cluster Granola on top. I’ve been consistently making two smoothies at once and putting one away for a snack or tomorrow’s breakfast. So that same smoothie I had the next day with blueberries and more cluster crunch. GAH that Cville Cluster Granola is so good!! Little Birchie is not quite loving oatmeal yet. He LOVES purees from a jar – ones that are basically liquid. But he’s not too wild about thicker textures yet. I started with mashed foods and they were too thick, and I’ve also tried the nearly-powdered oatmeal and he takes a few bites and then decides he’s done. I added some prunes and cinnamon to this oatmeal and he still wasn’t into it. I hope this isn’t a bad...

I left the pro athlete world a long time ago. I no longer compete. I don’t train with the intensity and volume it’d take to win races. But I do pay attention to what’s going on in that world, and I still have a lot of friends who never left it. Developments there often foreshadow developments in the rest of the health world. And after things like keto, MCT oil/ketones, and collagen , the performance hack that’s blowing up among elite athletes is CBD oil . Almost everyone I talk to who puts in serious training and competing time (in a variety of sports and pursuits) is dabbling with CBD. What are they using it for? There are two main claims when it comes to CBD and fitness . That it improves sleep. That it reduces pain, improves workout recovery, and helps you get back to training and competition. Do their claims have any scientific support? CBD and Sleep A big review of CBD and sleep found that CBD increased sleep time and reduced the number of times people woke up during ...

I’ve partnered with Pamela’s Products to bring you this blog post. As always, thank you for supporting CNC! Hi, friends! I haven’t done one of these  Sample Macro Days in a while, so I figured it was about time! I mean, I personally love seeing what other people eat since it gives me ideas for my own meals and snacks. You guys have also said you like these “what I ate in a day” posts, so I’ll keep ’em coming! Ok, here we go… here’s what I ate based on my workout day macros! Without further ado, here’s what I ate on a recent workout day. As you’ll see, the day is carb heavy and front-loaded . I work out in the morning, so carbs (+ protein) are needed for optimal recovery. I typically aim for a 1:2 ratio of protein to carbs. So, for example, I’ll aim to have about 25g of protein after a workout with 50g of carbs. Post-workout : Banana with an iced coffee mixed with collagen and coconut creamer Post-workout : Smoked salmon with roasted sweet potatoes and cucumber slices Lu...

Here he is! All six months of him. Six months feels like such a turning point to me from newborn to big baby. I think because it’s the month I associate with good sleep (because it’s when I sleep trained Mazen last time) and my quality of life got so much better after we were all sleeping again. The next one is the one year mark when nursing becomes secondary to real food for nutrition and Birch’s dependency on me to be there all the time takes a little dip. It’s kind of a bittersweet relief turning point! I’m getting ahead of myself though… He’s still little! I don’t like it when people say “he’s an easy baby” because I don’t think ANY baby is “easy.” However, Mr. Birch is pretty laid back and happy most of the time. (His big brother was a lot more intense/strong willed from the get-go!) Birch has been a decent night sleeper, a great napper, and full of smiles. He only really cries when he’s tired – and on long car trips Loves: Chewing on EVERYTHING, especially cloth Reading ...
