In honor of National Macadamia Nut Day, I’m sharing an adaptation of one of my favorite macadamia nut recipe I posted on my blog last year that has remained a staple in my kitchen ever since! These little bars are...

As many of you know, meditation is a really important part of my life and I’ve had a consistent daily practice for many years. I wake up 30 minutes before I need to do anything and completely zen out. When I don’t...

Starting my day with a smoothie is one of the best morning habits I've ever picked up. Smoothies are an incredible way to sneak in more fruits and veggies than I would normally eat in one sitting. For example, I...

There’s nothing I love more than curling up with a great book, especially during the summer when the weather is warm and I can do it outside on the beach, by the pool, or laying in the grass! A great book is also a...

The results of uncluttering can feel life changing. It may seem a little dramatic to suggest that too much stuff in your environment can be causing you stress, anxiety, and heaviness in your emotional being. But,...

Are you ready for this? We're about to take fruit salad to a whole new level! I believe the only way to really celebrate National Watermelon Day is with this deliciously sweet and savory watermelon feta salad. I...

If you're looking to try out a new & delicious cocktail this summer, our good friend Anya Kaats from Anya's Eats has whipped up a Suja Lavenade Mojito that you have got to try! You may recognize her from all of...

Chia is a fantastic source of omega-3s, fiber, vitamin B, protein, calcium, iron and magnesium… just to name a few. (1) Chia is certainly making a comeback but for a while, it was virtually impossible to find. (1)...

I love using cold pressed juices as a base ingredient in my cooking  because they blend such unique and interesting ingredients with a great balance of sweet and savory from a variety of fruits like apple and...

Avocados have gotten the cold shoulder in the past because they’re high in the dreaded f word…”fat”. That point of view has luckily taken a turn in recent years as more and more research comes out attesting to...

For me, chocolate might as well be its own food group. Chocolate is most often thought of as an unhealthy treat or vice, but what many people don’t realize is that certain forms of chocolate are jam-packed with...

Woohoo- July is National Blueberry Month! I love any excuse to eat more of these little guys; just one cup of blueberries is only 84 calories with 14% of your daily fiber intake, 24% of your daily Vitamin C, and a...

If you read the Suja blog, you might already know that I love shopping according to the seasons. When you buy seasonal produce, you support local farmers and you prepare the tastiest meals since the ingredients are...

There's nothing that reminds me more of summer than biting into a juicy peach. I also have really clear memories of packing the cooler full of plums to head down to the beach with my parents as a kid. Stone fruits are...

Is there any feeling better than the one you get after a good workout? Countless studies have shown that exercise has fantastic benefits for both your body and your mind. I can't remember ever regretting...

June has officially begun, the weather is warmer and the trees and foliage are starting to get their full color back. Most of us are starting to get that Spring Cleaning itch. Out with the old, dusty stuff we’ve...

Tomayto, tomahto. I don't know about you, but I've never been too experimental with tomatoes. I used to buy cherry tomatoes for my salads and beefsteak tomatoes for well, pretty much every other cooking need. Boy was...

Smoothie bowls are all the rage right now, and for good reason! If you're not into drinking your breakfast, they're another great option for sneaking in more fruits and veggies than you would normally eat whole. I...
