August 15, 2018

Eat to Perform is a food/diet lifestyle where one has to keep track of their macros.

However, hitting those macros of carbohydrates, fat, and protein can be difficult if you don’t plan ahead. For example, you might have met the carb and fat numbers, but still have 30 grams of protein to go or you might have hit the fat and protein numbers, but still have 30 grams of carbs to go. If you find yourself short in one of those departments, check out these foods that you can eat to bulk up your numbers. Carbohydrates Bananas: This filling...

Refreshing Summer Cocktail Recipes

Joyce Huang

July 11, 2018

Nutrition

We’ll never say ‘no’ to a lovely glass of rosé. It’s somehow become the unofficial drink of the summer season. However, why not give your next get-together some extra ‘oomph’ with some refreshing summer cocktails instead? There are so many fantastic, at-peak produce to utilize like fragrant lemons, mouthwatering strawberries, and sweet watermelon. And don’t worry, you don’t have to make each drink to order. That would make us sad because you wouldn’t get to spend time with your guests. Instead, you have two options. 1- Keep a tray of ready-made cocktails out and ready. 2- Keep a pitcher of your creation out without ice. The ice can be kept separately in a cooler. Guests can combine the two to make a new drink whenever they...

Ever thought about going dairy-free? Some people report feeling physically better when giving up dairy products that are milk-based. Interested in taking the plunge yourself?

There is a very light hint of soy flavor, but otherwise, really feels and tastes like dairy yogurt. The peach mango is a must try! Miyokos Vegan Cheese It’s going to be love at first bite...

The Dough Bar: Get Your Protein In

April 11, 2018

Nutrition

Baked, not fried, The Dough Bar doughnuts are also packed with protein. Each doughnut has 11 grams of protein and only 150 calories. Glazes and toppings add some extra calories but the end calculation makes this delicious concoction very comparable in nutrition to some protein bars and drinks out there. However, these taste better and feel more satisfying dessert-wise. On average, each doughnut comes out to about $4 each. They are filling, but guilt-free enough where you could eat two a day and still feel like you didn’t cheat. With so many different flavors to dig into, you can eat what feels like a different treat every day of the week. The Dough Bar doughnuts can also be purchased in variety packs which also make for...

Crazy For Smoothie Bowls: 6 Tasty Delights

February 28, 2018

Nutrition

Spring is almost here, which means that fruits are starting to be bountiful. Eating fruits when they are in season makes a huge difference when it comes to flavor. To get away from the lack of fresh fruits some of us experienced in the winter, here are some amazing smoothie bowls to incorporate everything from mangoes and jackfruit to oranges and strawberries. Fruit tip: We especially love freezing our own ripe fruit because when a particular fruit is in season, the prices are lower and it helps us save some money here and there in lieu of purchasing already frozen fruit. The bonus is that it will be extra sweet too. With Food + Love Green Mango Smoothie Bowl The addition of kale and hemp seeds makes this a...
