My little insurance policy allows us to enjoy all these favorite fall treats without any guilt.

Simply take two of these up to an hour after eating, and it will absorb some of the fat and carbohydrates from your food so that your body doesn’t! read more

Chocolate makes everything a little better doesn’t it?

Note: If you didn’t know, I have struggled with Gestational Diabetes with each of my pregnancies, here’s some info on how I beat it naturally!

Given my history and just being honest with myself, if I don’t find sweet things (with chocolate hopefully!) that is satisfying I’m going to end up chowing down on cookies or ice cream. read more

8 years ago… I was in my second trimester of my first pregnancy…

Everything was going well…

until I was 28 weeks and went for my gestational diabetes screening test.

I thought “I’m the healthiest person I know!” I got this!

But when my results came back that I had failed…

I was crushed.

I was shocked.

I felt all alone.

I needed a plan, but I honestly didn’t have any support system set up for myself.

All the recipes I had were “healthy” but used grains, beans, fruits, starchy vegetables. read more

OH SNAP! – It got cold fast! (I’m jumping up and down in my fuzzy socks and hoodie)

  • and I’m SUPER cold natured….

 

via GIPHY

So this means that I need a warm, toasty drink to warm me up! 

What if my warm drink:

  • gave me superfoods to keep me healthy through the winter
  • fuel to help me stay away from the nagging SUGAR CRAVINGS
  • energy to keep me going all day long
  • and collagen to keep my skin healthy in the cold, dry air.

Now that would be a magical drink right there…

“Angela, there is NO way that I could drink broccoli, cauliflower, beets, Blue Green Algae, Parsley, Spinach, Alfalfa…. and it taste good.”

I know, I know…. I didn’t believe it either. But I tried it… and my kids tried it… and my friends tried it… read more
