Foodtrainers’ Non-Religious Lent, take… 7!
Fun fact, Lauren and I met over Twitter! Non-religious Lent (don’t worry, I’ll explain) is technically our “anniversary”. I dug out our first interaction. I neglected to mention I missed the yoga class. By the time I went back down and back up again, I was too...
“Dark” is not enough, your chocolate cheat sheet
I’ve tried to be an 80% girl, I’m not there yet. With chocolate, the higher the percentage listed on the package, the lower the sugar. However, at the point where dark chocolate has zero sweetness (80% for me), I am zero percent excited. While I think most people can...
Healthy Hot Chocolate (non-dairy)
As you may know, our Foodtrainers’ taste testing knows no bounds. While clients and sessions make our office world go round, seeking out product newness and sampling is our favorite distraction. Today we sent our February Newsletter out. If you’re not signed up, do so...
Critical information every kombucha drinker needs to know
Kombucha might be the ultimate oldie but goodie - it’s been around since 200 BC, it came on the food scene in the 2000’s and Lauren wrote about it and it’s questionable alcohol content in 2014. Now, it appears alcohol is not the only thing we should have been...
The Healthiest, Tastiest Cauliflower Crust (and discount code)
We receive a lot of emails asking if we want to sample, and then promote, various products. Half the time, it’s unclear they know we’re nutritionists, the items are so sketchy. Other times, we have follow up questions. Are there sweeteners? Is it gluten free? Can we...
Super Bowl strategy, snacks and a super dip too
For some, the Super Bowl means football. For us, it means snacks. Use our playbook to get you through tonight sans deep-fried chicken wings, giant sandwiches, BBQ potato chips, pizza, beer, we could go on… Tip #1: Play drinking games! Before you eat anything or drink...
When it comes to wellness, can we all lighten up?
As you might have gathered, from yesterday’s TV post, I’m not that deep. I should clarify, I’m not outwardly deep or woo woo. Most inspirational quotes, not all, get an inner or actual eye roll from me. My preferred method of communication is humor. I have learned,...
Minimalism via Bravo’s “Stripped”
I have lowbrow TV taste. I eat quality food, drink tippy top-shelf spirits and read good books, not War and Peace but still. However, TV is my junk food. I watch the Bachelor, Housewives and Dateline. And as of this weekend, I have a new show I’m into, Stripped....
No Megan Kelly, nobody needs to be fat-shamed ever.
Where to begin with this one? Megyn Kelly was interviewing Maria Kang. Remember Maria? A few years back, she was in the bikini with her babies and the “what’s your excuse” caption that made every mom/woman in America hate her?Megyn, in a discussion...
January 2018
With last week’s insane weather, this week seems to be the first official (overpacked, stressful) week of the year. For us, this week kicked off our New Year’s Squeeze program. Our 50 Squeeze participants received a rulebook, recipes & secret weapon product...
Foodtrainers’ Healthy London Guide
For winter break, my family and I were in Manchester and London. For my sons and husband (my 3 “boys”) the focus was football. As for me, I’m always looking ways to up the healthy ante while away. I haven’t been to London in a few years and the wellness scene really...
New Year, New Blog, New Wellness “truth” to question
Saturday night, I waited up for my son to come home (do other parents do this, please advise) and then couldn’t get myself back to sleep. I’m sure the remnants of jet lag didn’t help matters. My body has no idea what time it is. I did what every sleep expert would...
