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.

There are a lot of contradictions in the fitness and health industries. Some people say eat less meat, some say eat more. Some people say fat is bad, some say it's good. I think part of the reason it's so confusing is because there's not one way of living healthy that works for everyone. However, there are some behaviors that everyone can benefit from, no matter your lifestyle. Here are five tips for losing weight they healthy way:

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.

Congratulations on completing Week 1 of summer bootcamp! How did you do? You might be a little (or a lot) sore, but worry not. Your body is very good at adapting to new stimuli, and as you start making healthier nutrition and fitness choices, you'll become a self-healing machine. So grab an ice pack, drink lots of water, pop an ibuprofen, and let’s get this week started!

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.

Summer's here and you know what that means... like a caterpillar emerging from its cozy cocoon, it's time to shed the hoodies and parkas and replace them with tank tops and swimsuits! Don't be one out of three Americans who are shy about their bods this year, so spread your beautiful wings and make it a fit summer!
