Happy Sweet-Tooth Friday! It’s Christine here with your healthy dessert recipe of the week. With all the sugary Halloween candy going around, I thought it would be nice to explore an alternative sweetener like stevia! Is stevia safe? After a not-so-great first experience with stevia and pumpkin, I vowed to do some more research on…

A lot of people make the same mistake in how they eat before a marathon — they wait until the night before the race to eat their big meal. If you’re only going to eat one big meal before the race, make it lunch instead. This gives your body more time to process the nutrients,…

Hello my healthy Sweet-Toothers! Friday has finally arrived, so it’s Christine here with another STF! This week I’ve got a great recipe for you that I wasn’t quite sure what to call. I was leaning towards Everything-But-the-Kitchen-Sink bars, or Anything-Goes bars, but I think my boyfriend Greg summed it up nicely by calling them (with…

Whew! I just got back from my 20-miler this morning, that which was postponed due to my feeling like crap when I woke up yesterday. All better today though! I did it in 2:38:54, a 7:56 minute-per-mile pace. This is a little slower than the 7:45 I was shooting for. My temptation is to list…

I’ve been drinking a new smoothie all weekend, one that I’ll call “inspired by” a recipe from Thrive, since I’ve made some changes to the recipe. This smoothie is supposed to deliver lots of quick energy, something I can live with. And it’s fun because it uses lots of tropical fruits, so at least we…

Alright guys and gals, exciting post today. On Tuesday I talked to Brendan Brazier, vegan professional Ironman triathlete and author of Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life. If you’ve read my blog at all during the past month or two, then you know how much I love this book…

On my run today, I went au naturale, getting all my nutrition from raw, real ingredients. I made two things from Thrive last night to bring along today—Lemon-Lime Sports Drink and this Lemon-Lime Gel. Interestingly, both of these were made from similar ingredients, just in different proportions. I know they don’t look too terribly exciting…

What’s up, no-meaters? Brendan Brazier (author of Thrive) has been nice enough to give me the green-light to share some recipes from his book while I’m trying them out during my 30-Day Challenge, so I’ve been slaving in my “test kitchen” (read: lots of cleanup) to find the best of the best to post. In…
