Like many my lunch breaks seem to involve work (not much of a “break”).  With that said, I continue my quest for quick and easy lunch ideas.  Lunch time is one of the areas I encourage my clients to increase their vegetable intake, and for me that can even be a challenge.  Today’s lunch was [...]

Shake It Up: Quick & Delicious Smoothie for All

After a nice run/hike with my two labs I felt the need for a quick snack. Hmmmm…what looks good…yogurt (had it with my breakfast), fruit (yes, but I need something more), toast (not enough of the good stuff), cereal (same response as toast)…what looks good?
