This one’s for the lot that has to wait until 6pm to enjoy their turkey dinner. Or for anyone who wants to enjoy a truly naughty tasting breakfast smoothie, that isn’t bad for you! Have this the day of, the day before, or the day after- I promise this pumpkin pie smoothie is the perfect way to start your holiday. Yes, it tastes exactly like chilled pumpkin pie filling, yes it is packed with protein, and yes, believe it or not it is vegan 🙂 so no one has to deal with a puffy tummy after one of these.
I really wanted to call this post my “Top 10 meal prep tips for anyone too hungover on Sundays or peeps who ain’t got time for that” but the formatting was all off, so, I went with “working crowd” assuming you know what I meant.

Don’t get me wrong, I love me a good tuna salad. Throw in a bathtub full of mayo and some capers and I can have my own tuna party- but that’s not everyone’s style now is it? So this recipe is for my fellow tuna loving friends, who seek the lean protein sans mayo. This recipe is lite, citrus-y and packed with extra protein for a satisfying lunch; in a salad, on a sandwich, or however you please. Continue Reading
This summer I had the privilege of vacationing in Destin, FL with Brett and his family. While Gluten-free travel can sometimes be a bear, I know that one of the best things I do to prepare for any vacation, is to start my research about a week ahead of time.
