Our Favorite Cold Weather Recipes

January 23, 2016 By Gwen Brown 2 Comments

Our FAVORITE cold weather recipes- breakfast done right, sugar free, THM friendly, and GF

Our favorite cold weather recipes- specifically BREAKFAST recipes- because when it’s cold outside, nothing is better than a hot breakfast after you’ve been out in the snow. We live in the south, in what might be THE most frustrating longitudinal coordinate possible. People an hour north of us get several inches of snow regularly in…

Tulsi Lavender Tea

January 7, 2016 By Gwen Brown 3 Comments

Tulsi lavender tea is my very, very favorite relaxation tea. In the whole wide world. This past year, and specifically the past 3 months have been THE most stressful that I think I’ve ever had. I’ve been healing from adrenal fatigue with the help of my holistic doctor, and thankfully have been so pleasantly surprised at…

Fresh Start Strawberry Smoothie

December 28, 2015 By Gwen Brown 4 Comments

My favorite FRESH start smoothie recipe- sugar free, packed with protein, and SUPER yum!!!

This strawberry smoothie recipe is my reset button. I developed this recipe last year when I started on my protocols with Dr. Rob for my adrenal fatigue issues. At one point in my protocol, I was supposed to drink a green smoothie every three hours for three days, and then until day 14, I was…

Gingerbread Milkshake

December 9, 2015 By Gwen Brown 22 Comments

Baby, it’s cold outside! So WHY am I making a milkshake? Because it’s a gingerbread milkshake! That makes it a seasonal flavor, and totally legit. Just like my Frozen Eggnog Milkshake that’s my other favorite this time of year. And yeah…even the Peppermint Chip counts too. Anything that keeps me out of the drive through…

Cinnamon Red Hots Tea Recipe

October 6, 2015 By Gwen Brown 16 Comments

This red hots cinnamon tea recipe tastes like those bright little candies, but it’s really a super healthy treat! I have tried through the years to like healthy teas. Like green tea. I KNOW it’s super good for you, but…I just couldn’t dig it. And then there was Matcha tea. I bought a box after…

Sugar Free Raspberry Lemonade Recipe

September 13, 2015 By Gwen Brown Leave a Comment

a perfectly sparkly raspberry lemonade recipe that's SO fast to make. I can't believe it's sugar free!

I have a raspberry lemonade recipe obsession. Even though technically it’s supposed to be fall, and everything is *supposed* to taste like pumpkin spice, I thought we might want to have a little  more variety in the mix. You know, for those of use who are not quite ready to let go of the summer….

Low Carb Orange Dream Recipe

July 27, 2015 By Gwen Brown 24 Comments

I’m all about this orange dream recipe- I love all things orange since I was a kid, when push up pops were one of my favorites! But now that I’m sticking to a lower carb, sugar free lifestyle I really wanted to replicate the creamy, orange-vanilla flavors of an orange dream. By jove, I think I’ve…

Sugar Free Chocolate Milkshake Recipe

July 7, 2015 By Gwen Brown 34 Comments

This sugar free chocolate milkshake will make you swoon!

This chocolate milkshake recipe makes me swoon! It’s better than a certain fast food chain’s chocolate frosty drink. And being sugar free and full of protein just gives me even more reasons to have this whenever that chocolate milkshake urge hits. Like many of my other sugar free milkshakes, this one has a secret ingredient…
