One of my favorite parts about being at the shore with my family (we go down to Ocean City, New Jersey a few times a year) is my morning routine: a run by the ocean followed by green smoothies from the Bashful Banana. I love the feeling of indulgence they bring - that's right, they're... Continue Reading →
I love snacking. Being gluten free and hyper-aware of the preservatives, additives and fillers found in most pre-packaged snack foods makes it really hard to sit down and enjoy something without guilt. Because of this, I set out to create my own alternative. After a few tries, I came up with a recipe that... Continue Reading →
