Pineapple Cucumber Smoothie

Not only does this pineapple cucumber smoothie taste amazing, but it is refreshing and super healthy for you too! We all know we need to drink more water - but plain water is sometimes quite dull. I like to mix things up and drink healthy smoothies instead. Smoothies have the added benefits of being a natural way to get more energy too! With all this natural sugar, you can't go wrong. Plus, they are packed with fiber - which helps you digest it all and retain more nutrients. This particular pineapple smoothie is incredibly hydrating. It tastes like a tropical drink that you might order on an island vacation - the kind with the fancy umbrella floating in it. If you add some kiwi to it, it will taste even sweeter! Perhaps the best thing of all is how easy it is to make smoothies. You just add all the ingredients to a blender, and then a few minutes later, you are ready to enjoy your drink! Key Ingredients and Swaps You might already have all of these ingredients in your refri

Southwest Quinoa Salad with Black Beans, Corn, and Avocado

This easy Quinoa Salad with Black Beans, Corn, and Avocado is the best quinoa salad. You will crave it. This salad is so easy to make and the homemade cilantro, lime, and yogurt dressing tastes good on everything. If you love these flavors, you may also love this Mexican Chopped Salad and Southwest Kale and Sweet Potato Salad . I am on a quinoa salad kick and have been making huge salads almost every day for lunch. Usually, I fill them with whatever leftover veggies and protein we have in the fridge, but this Southwestern inspired one came out so good I had to recreate it and share it. Between the sweet corn, earthy black beans, creamy avocado, and the best cilantro dressing - it's hard to find a better quinoa and bean salad. And I would know, I make them all the time. Like many good recipes, this salad was born out of necessity. I was starving and staring at a fridge of leftovers that needed to be used ASAP. There was some leftover grilled corn on the cob, a half open can of

Glowing Green Juice (No Juicer Needed)

This healthy green juice recipe uses a bunch of green vegetables! But, since it has ginger, apples, and lime, it tastes really sweet and not at all like you are drinking a glass of veggies. This green juice recipe is the perfect way to get 1-2 servings of your daily greens and fruits all in one sitting! Whenever I notice that I'm struggling to eat enough fiber (like from fruits and vegetables), I discovered that making my own juice was a simple (and tasty) solution! When I make a homemade juice, like this glowing green juice, I feel like I have a little pep to my step! It fills me up and gives me a natural source of energy too. Plus, when I add the apples to it, this juice tastes pretty sweet! I admit that I was pretty nervous that this recipe would taste too earthy, like kale and cucumber. The good news is that it doesn't taste like that at all. The apples mixed with the ginger give it a fruity and zesty taste that you won't be able to stop drinking. Key Ingredients
