If you were like me this morning, you were hungover. My friends surprised me with an early birthday dinner followed by a night full of alcohol. And I paid for it — with my health. My dad always tells me to drink orange juice when I’m hungover. Replenish my system, get some nutrients back in … Continue reading
I know I’m usually all about “chugging your greens” when it comes to smoothies, but sometimes you just gotta give yourself a break. I’ve never used orange juice in a smoothie before, so I was a bit skeptical, but let me tell you, this berry smoothie is by far the yummiest I have ever made. … Continue reading

(Aside: I don’t care what anyone says … Continue reading

Believe it or not, I feel like I have been more energized lately now that I’ve been drinking smoothies pretty much daily this week. It’s an interesting alternative to caffeine that … Continue reading
