Hi everyone. I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was full of fruity goodness once again. I seem to be making a habit of being a weekend fruitarian lately.

Lately the combination of watermelon fasting with lots of other fruit - mostly mango and papaya - has been helping me [...]

Since I first discovered chia seeds I’ve really gained a deep appreciation for these omega-3 rich beauties! The usual way I like to eat them is in chia pudding, which is one of my favorite breakfasts.

Chia pudding is perfect when you feel like something more than fruit or a smoothie that is also light and [...]
