We all know it's important to refuel properly after a hardcore workout. But who says that you can't refuel and have a little fun at the same time? These recovery popsicles have the right balance of carbs, protein, and fat to help you replenish what you've lost during your sweat session. They taste like a decadent summer dessert, but won't undo all the hard work you did in the gym.

We're already in the third week our summer fitness challenge! How did the first two weeks go for you?

This week, we're going to switch things up by focusing on tried-and-true traditional strength training (with machines) in the gym, with lower reps, higher weight, and longer recovery times. Get ready to pump some iron!

The sun is shining, the temps are creeping up, and you can't wait to nosh on some summery eats from the grill. But what if you're not so well-versed in barbecue-ology? Have no fear! We have you covered. Prepared to be schooled in the world of grilled foods.

Happy National Chocolate Ice Cream Day

Today we are going to make ice cream healthy! Wait, is that even possible?

That's what I wondered when one of my favorite bloggers, Ashley from Edible Perspective, posted a recipe for Banana Soft Serve. It wasn't until I made it myself that I fell in love with this ice cream alternative!

Quesadillas are one of my favorite quick and easy lunch options. Warm, gooey, and full of flavor, they come together fast and satisfy the urge for comfort food. I think quesadillas have a bad reputation because of the heavy, greasy restaurant versions that can often have a calorie count worthy of a whole meal. We will make them healthy by using whole wheat tortillas, flavorful summer veggies, and going easy on the cheese. This will create a delicious, guilt-free summertime meal. And it won't cancel out all the hard work you did at the gym.

We live in a society that favors fast, easy, and convenient food options, yet it never seems easy to eat healthy on the go. Take the convenience store for example. Are you going to find anything besides temptation on the shelves?

Farmer’s Market season is finally back and I am excited to shop local and eat fresh! I thought it was going to be challenging- an entire meal for 4, under $10.00, but I managed to do it and you can too!
