I discovered the beauty of cranberries cashews and chocolate on a random lunchbreak at work recently. I’d gone out to a shaded bench with a few people in my co-working space, and as ‘dessert’ to my hummus and veggies, I packed a handful of raw cashews, dark chocolate chips and dried cranberries.

Simple yet insanely delicious, so much so that I felt compelled to stop mid-bite, examine my tiny handful, and announce to my friends that they needed to try it immediately....

This smoothie was inspired by a surplus of papaya after experimenting with my papaya salad....

A clear winner stood out: agave! It blended smoothly and also enhanced the strawberry and lemon flavors without being overpowering. Not as winning? Honey stuck to the bottom of the blender, which made blending a little more finicky, however it was very floral and delicious....

That’s what I’ve jokingly been saying recently as I shovel mass amounts of food into my mouth. I’ve been trying to add more protein into my diet (as always), but it’s hard work!
