Most people crave a bowl of warm soup in the winter months, but gazpacho is a nice way to switch up this cold-weather staple. Gazpacho is a tomato-based vegetable soup that is traditionally served chilled.

While the “chilled” aspect might turn you off, especially with the frigid temperatures here in the Northeast, this heart healthy recipe will do your taste buds and your body good!

How do you make pesto less fattening and more natural? You do it paleo style!

If you haven’t heard of this latest craze, it focuses on avoiding processed and cultivated foods; in short, if it can’t be hunted or gathered it’s not paleo.

This pesto trades in the traditional olive oil for its paleo counterpart the avocado, and nixes the parmesan cheese (you won’t even miss it).

Try it out for a healthier and heartier pesto tonight.

Here’s what you’re going to need:

• 2 packed cups fresh basil leaves
• 1/2 cup Avocado puree
• 1/3 cup raw pine nuts (Macadamia nuts and walnuts can be used as a cheaper alternative)
• 3 garlic cloves

 Let’s get started:

1. Start by removing the avocado from its skin, and disposing of the pit.

2. Chop basil and garlic.

3. Combine all ingredients in a food processor (I used a Magic Bullet) and pulse until smooth.

4. Serve immediately over tomatos & crustini (pictured) as a great appetizer, whole wheat pasta or use as a salad dressing.

There’s just something about fall that makes me feel “nutty” (I set myself up for that one!) Embrace autumn with this cinnamon spiked almond shake.

Gather Up:

• 1 scoop Vanilla Live Rite protein powder
• 1/3 cup almond meal (you can make your own by blending raw almonds in a food processor
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 6-8oz almond milk (you can substitute skim milk)

Let’s get blending:

1. If you’re making your own almond meal, use 1/2 cup of raw almonds, and pulse in food processor. The moisture from the almonds may make the almond meal sticky, bit that’s okay.

2. Combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth.

3. Serve with an extra dash of cinnamon on top.

With the ever-increasing heat of the summer, our children reach for cold, sugary soda pop and ice cream in an attempt to beat the heat.

Here are some great (and fun!) ways to get your kids to trade in their sugary snacks for fresh fruit. Children are very visual, so the more fun it looks, the more likely they are to eat it.

Make a “Fruit-sicle”

Put toothpicks into grapes and freeze them for frozen “lolipops.” Or, put chopsticks into multiple grapes for a frozen fruit-kabob. Another idea–take sliced watermelon triangles and put them on popsicle sticks. It’s less messy and more fun than your average watermelon slice.

Frozen Oranges

Section an orange into slices and freeze. The frozen slices are easy to grab and snack on in the sweltering heat and are much lower in calories and sugar than an ice pop.

Cookie-Cutter Fruit Salad

Grab your child’s favorite cookie cutters and make a fruit salad. Heart-shaped watermelon, pineapple stars, and flower-shaped apple slices make fruit salad a bowl-of-fun!

Apple Slice Peanut Butter Sandwich

Slice apples and make mini peanut butter sandwiches for a fruity snack packed with protein. For a tasty addition, add some pepitas (pumpkin seeds) to the peanut butter.
