Healthier condiment choices
Veggie burger + mayo = what’s the point of having the veggie burger anyhow?
When ordering a veggie burger, ask for no condiments so that you can control what is added to the burger.
Typically, I use mustard because of low sugar and oil content. But, if ever you have access to salsa or hot sauce, grab it! Lower salt, sugar and oil in these condiment choices.
What’s your favorite healthy condiment?

Making granola healthier
I love granola and am always looking for ways to make it healthier.
For a quick and easy way to add more omega to your granola, sprinkle on one teaspoon chia and one tablespoon raw sunflower seeds. Good for your brain and you’ll love the extra texture too!
Good morning to you and yours!

Product Review – Naked Green Smoothie
Start your day with a green smoothie. If you can’t make one yourself, you might want to consider Naked as a great store bought option.
Healthy Hotel Breakfast
One of the biggest challenges about traveling is the food. When I’m away from home, it’s like I have some “pass” to not eat healthy. But I certainly know that is NOT the case! In fact, it’s the breakfast buffet which is included in the daily rate hotel rate that can really get me!
Before I started eating healthier, one of my favorite breakfast items was biscuits and gravy. Here I find myself at the gorgeous Coldsprings Marriott in Franklin, Tennessee… Yep, you guessed it. BIG problem! The south is KNOWN for their “comfort food“, which certainly includes biscuits and gravy… Not to mention all the other yumminess the Marriott generously offers at their breakfast buffet.
Darn that generous Southern hospitality!
Knowing my weaknesses, I aimed for the oatmeal and piled high the berries and melon slices. Luckily they also had nuts (albeit not raw) and raisins. Not shy about going back for more berries and fruit too… Best to fill my stomach with good fuel in the morning!
Tummy full and great way to start the day while traveling! What is your travel healthy breakfast tip?

Holiday healthy eating tip
Happy holidays! Face it, you’re going to eat a lot of bad for you food during the holidays. With all the butter, sugar, flour and meat products, I think that it’s obvious our families are trying to kill us with traditional holiday favorite food. I thought our families were supposed to love us… sheesh!
Since the calories are going to happen, aim to eat healthy with any possible meal. For example, have a green smoothie for breakfast so that way you’ll get your leafy greens and fresh fruit taken care of first thing.
Easy Green Smoothie Recipe: (serves 2)
5 oz leafy greens (kale, spinach, collard)
3 pieces of fruit
2 cups ice
1 cup fruit juice
1 cup water
Blend until creamy
Make wise choices and you’ll feel better… which in turn will help you to enjoy the holidays more!
