January 28, 2019 at 10:45AM by CWC The spiky green exterior of a jackfruit doesn’t exactly scream effective substitute for animal protein. But don’t let its outward appearance fool you; everyone knows it’s what’s on the inside that counts. In recent years, jackfruit recipes have skyrocketed in popularity among those who avoid meat thanks in part to… Continue Reading →

January 08, 2019 at 12:58PM Things that are on the “yes” list for the keto diet: butter, bacon, avocados, “fat bombs,” MCT oil, grass-fed beef. Things that are on the “no” list…well, basically everything else. Okay, maybe that’s an over-simplification. But the keto diet (arguably one of the biggest food trends of the past year)… Continue Reading →

December 16, 2018 at 02:00AM If you’ve never heard of a funny sounding fruit called soursop, join the club. But given all its good-for-you benefits, it’s time to get familiar. The green, heart-shaped fruit of the Graviola (or annona muricata) tree can weigh up to 15 pounds and grows in tropical regions of North and… Continue Reading →

December 05, 2018 at 01:21PM If you’re anything like me, you’re probably only eating whole olives in a chopped Greek salad or on top of a cauli-crust pizza (or perhaps in the bottom of a martini). But there’s actually a pretty good argument for grabbing a jar on your next Trader Joe’s run—like the olive… Continue Reading →

November 02, 2018 at 07:14AM Sometimes, taking a stroll through the bulk section of the grocery store results in an audible gasp or two. Sure, the thought of stocking up on dried apricots and mango is all fun and games at first, but that $14/pound price tag is no joke. The good news, though? You can… Continue Reading →

October 21, 2018 at 06:30PM Everyone knows that getting your fill of fruits and vegetables is important (it’s basically the first thing in life we learn about food). But sometimes even after a chia pudding breakfast, quinoa bowl lunch, and gluten-free pasta dinner you realize, “Wait—did I eat a single fruit or vegetable today?” You’re… Continue Reading →

October 19, 2018 at 08:01AM When you’re craving a smoothie while you’re out and about, getting your nutrient-rich pick-me-up is generally as simple as hitting up your favorite juice shop and placing an order for your go-to mix. Unfortunately, even though sipping on the brightly-colored beverage might make you feel like you’re the Queen of… Continue Reading →

October 17, 2018 at 09:19AM Trader Joe’s is always coming through with unique sparkling water choices that give your love for La Croix a run for its bubbles. In the past, the healthy grocer has released niche flavors like rhubarb and elderflower, but the latest mix might just be the most impressive yet: It does contain a hard-to-find Japanese superfood,… Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 12:00PM by CWC When you sit down to enjoy a leafy-green salad, do you know specifically what each of the vividly hued fruits and veggies in the bowl are doing for your body? I know I don’t. The #eattherainbow lifestyle makes for vibrant sandwiches and top-notch crudité platters, but it does… Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 09:00AM by CWC I got a little lazy while making breakfast recently; instead of sautéing some sliced onions on the stove for my vegan omelet, I decided to cut down on dishes by popping them in the microwave. No harm in that, right? Wrong. The next thing I knew, it looked like fireworks in… Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 08:19AM by CWC At this point, most of us are pretty canny about shady food additives in our food (ahem, high-fructose corn syrup, much?). But there are still some sneaky ingredients that we as consumers often are still in the dark about, like phosphates. Did you hear crickets when reading that… Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 05:21AM by CWC So far, 2019 has been the year of #TBT eating plans. (Eating Mediterranean-style and going high-fiber are both on-trend once again.) But as for the military diet, which has recently resurfaced online…the two nutrition experts I spoke with say it just doesn’t deserve a “Backstreet’s back, alright!” moment. According to the… Continue Reading →

February 20, 2019 at 10:11AM by CWC Every once in a while, a healthy food will start popping up on the menus at juice bars and nutritious eateries and the rise to notoriety will be so quick, it’s suddenly everywhere before most people even know what the heck it is. In 2013, it happened with… Continue Reading →

February 20, 2019 at 06:00AM by CWC I’d always thought my mother taught me everything I needed to know about how to keep my living space clean—and so my cleaning supplies have always consisted of your typical surfactants that come in either wipe or spray form. Standard. And then an editor asked me to check… Continue Reading →

February 20, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC For most of my life, I’ve been under the assumption that the more I can feel a beauty product tingling on my skin, the better it’s working. Chock this up to really believing in context clues, but like assuming that toothpaste will zap a zit or even thinking… Continue Reading →

February 18, 2019 at 03:30AM by CWC Sipping on collagen has long seemed like the easiest ever way to get glowing skin, shiny hair, and a happy gut (I mean, all you really have to do is drink it), and thanks to Vital Proteins latest launch, it’s about to get even easier. The brand, who… Continue Reading →

February 17, 2019 at 06:00AM by CWC Astrologer Jennifer Racioppi is here with a cosmic weather report to help you get grounded for a week that may include any or all of the following: righteous anger, “fake news,” and, weirdly, major sexual potential. Buckle up. Monday, February 18 This epic paradigm shifting day, not your typical… Continue Reading →

February 16, 2019 at 06:00AM by CWC Finally feeling like you can breathe easy again after last month’s total lunar super blood moon eclipse? (I mean, just typing that out was exhausting.) Prepare for a fresh wave of intensity—the full moon in February is set to be just as transformative, with a bunch of other… Continue Reading →

February 15, 2019 at 03:30AM by CWC There is truly nothing on this planet more unappealing than bad breath. Force me to sit through as many earwax pulling and pimple popping videos as there are on the Internet, but please for the love of all things good in this world, do not ever make me… Continue Reading →

February 14, 2019 at 12:59PM by CWC It feels like you can’t throw a stone without running into someone who’s like, really, really into celery juice right now. Which, fine. The savory juice certainly offers lots of benefits, including reduced bloat, extra antioxidants, and potential anti-inflammatory effects. But honestly, there’s one drink that’s been doing… Continue Reading →

February 13, 2019 at 02:18PM by CWC When someone says the words “ketogenic diet,” the first things that come to mind are probably butter, bacon, and avocados. That’s because the trendy diet has a rep for being heavy on the animal-based fats. (Just look up “ketogenic recipes” and you’ll see what I mean.) This makes… Continue Reading →

February 13, 2019 at 09:52AM by CWC Back in the day, sandwiches were everything. Just think about your school lunches. All the good stuff packed up in your lunch box could be found between two slices of extra-fluffy white bread. Unfortunately, the cool-factor of sandwiches declined as fancy wraps made with spinach tortillas rose among the ranks…. Continue Reading →

February 11, 2019 at 01:26PM by CWC Welcome to 2019, where people are finally getting serious about eating more produce (hello, planetary health diet!). Shifting to a plant-based diet has many potential benefits, including reduced diabetes risk, better heart health, and a smaller carbon footprint. And don’t worry about getting enough protein: It’s actually not… Continue Reading →
