Making granola at home is simple. This granola recipe has a base of rolled oats and sliced almonds, but feel free to change the nuts or add dried fruit like raisins, currants, dried figs, cherries … the list can go on.

Read MoreIn this beet juice, the beets taste sweet and earthy, lemon and ginger add zing, and cucumber adds mineral-rich water. Beets are naturally sweet, so we don’t add any additional fruit except for a lemon. If the juice is too tart or earthy, consider pushing a couple of carrots or an apple through the juicer. If you’re sensitive to ginger’s warming/spicy quality, add a smaller amount first and go from there.

Read MoreThese strawberry chocolate muffins are packed with strawberries and topped with a delicious chocolate drizzle. It is important to chop the strawberries small; otherwise, they will fall to the bottom of the muffin. Tossing the chopped strawberries with a teaspoon of sugar also brings out some of their sweetness and makes them taste more like a strawberry. If you use perfectly ripe berries, tossing with the sugar is unnecessary. We drizzle the tops of each baked muffin with dark chocolate, but any chocolate will do. Use what you love (white chocolate would be amazing, too!).
