joyfalzonematcha mint smoothie
2 CommentsRead moreToday I’m sharing my first green smoothie recipe so far and a quick blog post because it’s been a crazy week. If you know me at all, you know I am a huge proponent of green smoothies. It’s such an easy and delicious way to sneak greens into your morning routine. It takes a few extra minutes in the morning and you can take it with you on the go. Also, I have never met a child you doesn’t love smoothies. If you’ve never had a green smoothie before, I think this is a good one to start with because you can’t even taste the spinach. If you’re a green smoothie aficionado you may want to add some kale or moringa powder to this one.

joyfalzoneraw zucchini noodles with balsamic marinated tomatoes
No CommentsRead moreYou’ve seen the spiralizer right? This is one of the coolest kitchen tools out there! You can literally turn anything into a noodle in seconds! Sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, zucchini, cucumbers, radishes, you name it. My favorite vegetable to put through the spiralizer is summer squash. Zucchini noodles (zoodles) are so refreshing and are wonderful eaten raw! If you don’t have a spiralizer or don’t have room to store one, no worries, I’ve seen vegetable noodles prepackaged in grocery stores now. The recipe I’m sharing today takes only about 15 minutes to prepare and even faster if you buy the pre-spiralized noodles.

joyfalzoneheirloom tomato salad
No CommentsRead moreWhen I told my husband I wasn’t really sure what I was going to write about in this post (besides for bragging on the health benefits of the ingredients), he said, “tell them that heirloom tomatoes are the best and the tomatoes we grew up on are just no good.” He’s right, and we hate to break it to you, but if you’ve never had an heirloom tomato, you’ve never tasted a real tomato. The flavor has been bred out of conventional tomatoes and the texture is awful; they’re bred for easy harvesting, shipping, and shelf life. Besides for being wildly beautiful, heirloom tomatoes have a wide variety of flavors and levels of acidity. These subtle differences are what make heirloom tomatoes so much better!

joyfalzonepeach & oat breakfast smoothie
1 CommentRead moreI love how modern kitchen appliances can turn healthful food into quick, easy, and delicious meals! One of my favorite kitchen appliances is our blender. My husband and I use it so often that my baby isn’t even fazed by it. Mostly we use it for smoothies, which are my go-to breakfast in the summer. Smoothies are great to take with you on your commute to work or drink with one hand while you hold a baby in the other.

joyfalzonesummer quinoa salad with cucumber, arugula & sun dried tomato
2 CommentsRead moreSummer is in full swing here on the east coast and I’d like to share my favorite summer quinoa salad recipe with you. I’ve made this dozens of times and love bringing it to parties or family gatherings. If you are unfamiliar with quinoa (pronounced keen-wah), it is a gluten free grain-like seed that originated from South America. I love that it is versatile, easy to prepare and best of all is a complete protein; meaning it contains all nine of the essential amino-acids that our bodies need to thrive. Quinoa is also considered a valuable…
