Well it is that time of the year. Time to examine your health and eating habits. Hopefully these recipes will help you do that.

Start with breakfast! Try the power green smoothie. A powerful punch of vitamins from the green magma — try it you will LOVE the energy you get!! And a great power punch from the protein powder, I use Amplify protein powder exclusively because it has great taste and is easy to mix.

OUR POWER SMOOTHIE RECIPE

Or there is our great Veggie Quiche which makes a great dinner.

And kids like BOTH of these — so why not share that new health with your whole family!!!

I love to look through cookbooks and find great recipes using fresh food that are also delicious. And while I think it is important for adults to learn and try new foods and learn to find fruits and vegetables that they can love. I realize as a parent that it is very difficult to get a child to sometimes eat vegetables. And when they do, it is hard for them to learn to like the healthy ones.

So when I saw this cookbook, I thought it was worth a try. And it is actually very cool. The idea is to make puree from vegetables and fruit and then you use them in the recipe so it is never actually something that is obviously in there. For example, there is chocolate pudding with avocado puree — don’t freak out — it is actually MIND BLOWING good pudding. Now remember, kids can’t live on chocolate pudding and macaroni, even with some puree.

So give it a try, there are some great recipes in her for kid friendly food — they take a bit longer but I totally think it is worth it – I mean it isn’t even $20 !!

Studies have shown that people who eat soup before a meal tend to consume fewer calories overall. And it is winter (except down here where it is unseasonably warm this week)

But cold it will soon be

With Christmas right around the corner and everyone busy with activities, these are easy make ahead meals or freezer meals too.

So enjoy!!
