Spirulina – Lean, Mean, And Green Baby!

As some of you may know, I had my first taste of spirulina just weeks ago during my reboot juice fast. I wanted to experiment while fasting, be brave, and try new things. Well, I was brave for sure and downed a glass of powdered spirulina in water = holy cow with the pasture in all! That’s what it was like too – a surprise taste of rich green farm pasture. I drank it all. Hey, I’ve downed much stronger tasting drinks actually, guzzled is more like it, so why be scared of the dark green super juice…right? Right…

What Is The Glycemic Index And How Can It Benefit You?

Pin It

The Glycemic Index (aka GI) is simply a scale that measures the effects of a food's carbohydrates on the level of blood sugar in your body. It can be a very useful tool for taking control of your blood sugar, which is a huge factor in obesity and diabetes among other things.

A food's Glycemic Index is determined by measuring the the increase in blood sugar after the consumption of that particular food and then compared to the increase caused by the consumption of glucose (a simple sugar).

Healthy Snack Ideas – Salty, Sweet, And Savory

Pin It

Want some new healthy snack ideas? I’m craving something…something, something. Have this happen to you? Of course you have. The question is, what can you snack on that won’t bloat the belly or build the bulge? I generally wind up wandering back and forth through the kitchen, opening each cupboard twice and stalling in the open refrigerator if not prepared. Oh sigh…
