About
Integrative Nutrition is the world's largest nutrition school, and is the only school that teaches over 100 different dietary theories, food energetics, and the concept of 'bio-individuality,' which is that there is not one diet that works for everyone. And, they recently upgraded their learning platform to an iPad!

If you have any questions about the program or my experience as a student... I am always happy to share my insight! My e-mail is TasteforHealthy@gmail.com


Enjoy the rest of your weekend! And, I invite you to stay tuned... later this week I will be posting an excellent music video, created by a fellow IIN graduate!

Ashley

Citrus Snap Peas and Carrots!

Hello wellness lovers... I hope you are having an amazing week!

Any exciting plans for this weekend? Jon and I are going to Disneyland (again!) Haha... we have annual passes, so we need to use them! We actually haven't been in 2 months...

Anyways, on to today's healthy deliciousness! ♥

The other day I was flipping through the latest issue of First magazine, and a recipe caught my eye! It totally had "spring" written all over it! The original recipe called for butter & honey, but I wanted to substitute coconut oil and agave instead.

Also, I made it without fresh parsley and shallots, because:
a.) I like easy, fast, & simple.
b.) It didn't seem like they would taste that amazing with coconut oil.
b.) I find it annoying to make trips to the grocery store for 1 or 2 items. (I am sure you can relate!)

Citrus Snap Peas & Carrots

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds baby carrots
• 12 ounces sugar snap peas
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon agave
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• salt (I used Himalayan)

Directions:

1. In large saucepot over high heat, filled with (lightly) salted boiling water, cook baby carrots for 4 min., or until crisp-tender, adding sugar snap peas after 2 min. Drain.
2. Heat coconut oil in skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add carrots, snap peas, agave, and lemon juice. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Yum! Enjoy over rice, quinoa, or other grain for a light & healthy meal.

I hope you are having a great day! :)

"Spring Cleaning"

Hello there! And happy Wednesday! :)

So, the temperature is rising to 78 degrees tomorrow... hello Spring! Every spring, I get in a "spring cleaning' mode. I clean my house, organize my closet, etc. But I also want to "clean out" my body!

I've been sipping "Get Clean" tea (dandelion & milk thistle) that I found at the Vitamin Shoppe!

And in 6 days, I am going to do a liver/gallbladder cleanse/flush! Yes, it seems as scary as it sounds...

2 years ago, I picked up "The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse" from the local health food store.

I read it in less than a day, and it was scary fascinating!

I checked the reviews on Amazon, and apparently it's a great book and tons of people are having success with it!

So yeah, ummmmmm... wish me luck! And I will keep you posted! (I am a little nervous!) :)

I am interested to know... has anyone else checked out this book? Or actually tried the cleanse?
