my grocery list since i've gone to college has changed completely.
living on my own made me want to stop eating processed foods and to eat better, since i've always been conscious of my health due to a history of poor health in my family.
so I started eating clean and, with the help of Pintrest, was able to start making delicious, healthy meals.
cooking healthy meals has become a passion of mine and with a clean diet, (plus Pilates 3-4 times a week) i've been able to feel better on a daily basis.
it's not as hard or expensive as you might think to eat well, and in the end, it's definitely worth it.
top picture is of my grocery bag from Whole Foods. yes, it can be pricey, but some foods should be purchased at places such as Whole Foods or at your local farmers markets to prevent exposure to pestisides and other harmful chemicals used on almost all foods in the U.S.
second picture is of a few detox waters I made.
being a college student, alcohol consumption is at an all-time high. I wanted to give my body a break and clean out my system so I looked up some recipes (thanks Pintrest!) and here are some of my favorites:
1. clementine blueberry: cut up 1 or 2 clementines with the rhine still on (can substitute for oranges), add a handful of blueberries, let chill overnight.
2. lemon-lime: thinly slice 1 lemon and 1 lime, let chill overnight.
everyone should hopefully know the benefits of drinking lemon water (speeds up metabolism and helps burn fat) but if you prefer the flavor of lime like I do, I recommend combining the two.
3. peach blackberry: slice 1 or 2 peaches (personal preference) [I only sliced 1 since this was my first attempt at making it], add a handful of blackberries, let chill overnight.
i'd love to hear some healthy recipes my cacti readers have been cooking up!
feel free to post them in the comments!
