    Thanks so much for featuring my smoothie and for sharing the other smoothie recipes. This lets me know that there are so many ways NOT to get bored drinking smoothies. Reading the other recipes was exciting for me, and they challenged me to continue to be creative when making my own smoothies. Variety can be great!

      It is my pleasure to feature your smoothie recipe Trinity. Many of us get in a rut with food and that is not good for our bodies. We need a wide variety of foods so that we maximize the nutrition. Smoothies are a great way to add lots of different nutrients to our diet.

      Thanks for stopping by Michelle. Let me know which one you and your husband like best. I love to see husbands in the kitchen. I think it is good for the marriage and helps to get good nutrition to the table. My husband is a huge help to me.

    I like the Orange Smoothie. If you don't want to deal with carrot juice, try steaming a couple carrots in the microwave and using them in the smoothie instead 🙂

      Great idea Lydia! I would never have thought about using carrots instead of juice. I like having that kind of control over the ingredients I use. Thanks so much for sharing that tip.

🎉 Juggling Real Food and Real Life is officiall 🎉 Juggling Real Food and Real Life is officially a teenager! 🎉

13 years ago, I hit publish on my very first blog post. Back then, my kids were still young, and I was deep in the “mom life” of packing lunches, rushing to practices, and trying to figure out how to keep real food on the table without losing my mind. 🍎🥦

Fast forward to today, and here I am—a grandmother! 👵💖 Life looks a little different now, but the heart of this community hasn’t changed. It’s still about juggling the busyness of life, making space for the people we love, and finding joy in real food (and real moments).

I never imagined that this little corner of the internet would become such a special part of my life for over a decade. Thank you for being here—whether you’ve been with me since the beginning or just found me recently. You are the reason this space is still going strong. 💕

Here’s to 13 years of memories, lessons, recipes, and laughter… and to many more ahead! 🥂

Drop me a comment and tell me how long you’ve been hanging out here—I’d love to know!
Just a little reminder for your day… you really Just a little reminder for your day… you really are amazing! 💚 Keep juggling life, real food, and all the little moments that make you, YOU.
✨Long rehearsals = lots of energy!✨ Young danc ✨Long rehearsals = lots of energy!✨
Young dancers need more than sparkly costumes and strong muscles—they need the right fuel to stay focused and energized all class long. 💃🥗

Balanced meals with carbs + protein + healthy fats are the secret to avoiding mid-class crashes and powering through those long practices. And don’t forget water—hydration is just as important as the food they eat! 💧

👉 In Part 1 of my new series on Fueling Young Dancers with Real Food, I’m sharing simple tips and snack ideas to help dancers shine at the studio.

What’s your dancer’s favorite pre-class snack? 🍎🥜
