Recipe: 50 Shades of Greens Salad

by Marilyn McKenna

No real reason why this particular salad earns the designation of “50 shades of greens”; I guess I just thought it was funny. But truthfully, this is my favorite way to make a basic green salad. There is no simpler dressing and the cheese crisps make it feel like it’s something really special when, in […]

Tuscan Salmon Salad

by Marilyn McKenna

Is there ever a bad time to eat wild Alaskan salmon? Not when you’re from the Pacific Northwest, like I am. Every May, news stations cover the arrival of the much-anticipated Copper River salmon from Alaska (on its own airplane, no less). This particularly fatty and flavorful salmon is only in season for a few […]

Light Lunch Recipe: Tomato Salad with Tuna

by Marilyn McKenna

I should be embarrassed by how easy this salad is. I should be, but I’m not. It’s not even really a “recipe” so much as a combination of things I had on hand when I was hungry. Because I get fresh, organic produce delivered to my door weekly, I’ve always got lots of goodies around […]

“The Pumpkin-ator” Protein Smoothie

by Marilyn McKenna

As part of the detox I started last fall, I’ve been drinking this low-sugar, low-carb protein drink every morning. It’s packed with anti-oxidants and good-for-you protein. I add cinnamon for it’s anti-inflammatory properties (and it tastes good), but pumpkin pie spice works too. Make it with water or unsweetened almond milk for a powerful start […]

Try Your Own Detox: Tips for Kicking Caffeine and Sugar

by Marilyn McKenna

I realized a few months ago that I was suffering from an energy crisis. Starting first thing in the morning, I would begin jacking myself up on caffeine just to feel human. After a couple cups of coffee I’d be good to go for the morning, but by mid afternoon I was dragging again, barely able to […]

Metabolic Detox Tea

by Marilyn McKenna

I’ve been drinking this detox tea every morning for months now and feel so much better than I did before. Don’t get me wrong, detoxing from caffeine was tough. But now that I’m off I can see how the caffeine / sugar roller coaster was messing with my energy level and moods all day long. Try […]

Badass Green Protein Smoothie

by Marilyn McKenna

I finally came up with a green smoothie that actually tastes good and is super healthy! The secret is to use frozen kale + banana and mango, which are super sweet. The result is a smoothie that is nutritious and filling, but even better it’s creamy and delicious! Ingredients: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 1 […]

(Drink Your) Greens Juice

by Marilyn McKenna

This is my variation on a popular green juice recipe. Do like I did; try lots of different combinations to come up with one that suits your palate. As long as your drink is primarily vegetables … and you love it! … you can’t go wrong! I don’t own a juicer, so I prep my […]

J is for Juice

by Marilyn McKenna

I’m not willing to go so far as to say that fruit juice is junk food, but I will say, it’s not terribly helpful when you’re trying to lose weight. Fruit juice is high is sugar, and because it’s stripped of naturally occurring fiber, it goes down very quickly. Fiber slows down calorie consumption because […]
