Paleo Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burgers

Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments.  In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun!  paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky

Very Berry Beet Protein Power Smoothie

While I'm partial to many a root vegetable, I love beets. Like, really love beets. Like, my current favorite kombucha flavor is: Seriously, it's yummy, you should try it. Anyway, beets... OK, yes, I'm a little obsessed with beets lately, but beets are really good for you! Yet, I know so many people who don't like beets. (It's OK, we can still be friends). Beets contain Vitamin C and folate as well as many minerals our bodies need. Plus, they have fiber and a cup of beets only has around 60 calories. WIN. While I eat a lot of things just because they're good for me, beets I truly love.  In an effort to encourage the beet love I'm playing around with beet recipes. Right now smoothie recipes in particular. For beet lovers and not-so-beet lovers alike! This Very Berry Beet Protein Power Smoothie is chocked full of good for you things like protein, berries, and beets. It also has my new non-dairy milk find: Milkadamia (isn't that the greatest n

101 Easy Healthy Snack Recipes Round-Up

Oh my goodness you guys, I have been working on this healthy snack recipe round-up for a MONTH. It was definitely a labor of love. Ha ha! I really had no idea when I set out to round up 101 healthy snack recipes what an undertaking that was! I started out with my favorite healthy snack recipes. That made about 40. I asked my blogger friends for their favorites. That made about 75. So I asked more blogger friends for their favorite healthy snack recipes... It was quite the process. 101 is more than you think. Anyway, ramble ramble, it was a lot more work than I realized from the beginning, but I was determined to finish it! Finally, here you are, my favorite healthy snack recipes along with my blogger friends favorite healthy snack recipes.  Whether you're paleo, vegan, gluten-free, or just trying to eat lighter I've tried to round up a little something for everyone. I've separated it into categories to make it a little easier to peruse. Enjoy! Muffins Whole Wh

BCAA Lemonade Recipe

BCAA stands for branched-chain amino acid. To get technical a minute, Wikipedia says:  A branched-chain amino acid ( BCAA ) is an amino acid having aliphatic side-chains with a branch (a central carbon atom bound to three or more carbon atoms). Among the proteinogenic amino acids, there are three  BCAAs : leucine, isoleucine and valine.  The three proteinogenic BCAAs are among the nine  essential amino acids  for humans, accounting for 35% of the essential amino acids in muscle proteins and 40% of the preformed amino acids required by mammals. BCAAs are a popular supplement in the fitness community. I've read claims from they help grow muscle to they help retain lean muscle when cutting calories. I recently read an interesting article on BodyBuilding.com,  BCAAs: The Many Benefits of Branch-Chained Amino Acid Supplements . It's a really great read if you're not familiar with BCAAs.  Personally, I've taken BCAAs off and on for years and I do feel like I see a
