Who says you have to ditch the sushi rolls to be healthy? Crowd pleasing, mouth watering and super fun to make sushi rolls sans rice, sans fish and full of living nutrients. Down here in Sayulita we take every opportunity to host friends and introduce them to new and healthy or cooked cuisine. Kevin from [...]

Have a Jicama lying around and don’t know what to do with it? Try this recipe that we made with our friends Kevin from Wild Body Wellness and Alissa from We Are Wildness we’re out here in Sayulita Mexico. Honestly, I wasn’t sure how this would turn out… we combined some pretty interesting things together. Well it [...]

Have you ever tried Jicama? It’s really good and very diverse! Being in Mexico at the moment, we’ve had to come up with new creative ideas to stay healthy and use the local vegetables at hand. A common snack out here is cubed jicama, tossed in a bit of chili powder, salt and lime juice. [...]

This dish contains all the flavor and nutrition of sushi, but for half the effort!  Instead of rolling the ingredients into a traditional makizushi, you just toss ‘em together in a bowl—no muss, no fuss.  If you really dislike seaweed, you can leave the nori off, though it is a fantastic source of essential minerals.

By making sure you’re getting enough during the day, you [...]

You’re probably aware of the green drink, green juice craze that seems to have swept the globe.  Juice trucks and smoothie bars are popping up left and right.  This is one “diet craze” that I can certainly get on board with, and feel totally free to encourage you to get on board with too!  Of [...]

These simple empanadas can easily be turned into a salad, and since you’ll have left over macadamia filling you can make this recipe once and create multiple wraps or salads through out the week. Generally we consume a lot of fruits through out the day as our main calorie source, so our bodies dont let us [...]

This raw vegan noodle dish was a real breeze to make. While I’ll admit sometimes I go into the kitchen with not a clue what I’m about to make, it always seems to turn out pretty well. It’s funny, I actually intended on making a red pepper cream sauce when out of no where I [...]

Recently I’ve been on a spirulina & chlorella kick because they’re both so great for having healthy, clear skin, healing acne and repairing tissues after a workout. A few weeks ago when I was making spirulina face masks I started researching how spirulina impacts skin health. There were so many testimonials from people who raved [...]
