Hi all! So glad you enjoyed the [Roasted Eggplant & Zucchini Tortilla Pizza] from yesterday’s post! Who says gluten free plant based recipes have to be boring? Not this girl!

May 1, 2013 By Kasey 4 Comments

hey all! I hope you’re enjoying your Wednesday! I’ve been a busy bee this week with meetings, clients, workouts, & being a driver/nurse for papacakes who recently just got knee surgery. He actually tore his meniscus on a job so I’ve been helping out by going to the doctors appointments & such with him. He’s doing well & was just going over the exercises he needs to do while rehabbing that I can totally help him with! Today I wanted to share with you a new recipe that I’ve been wanting to for a while now! Recently I’ve been craving pizza but [surprisingly] didn’t feel … [Read more...]

Hey all! Happy Wednesday! I wanted to bring to your attention that THRIVE FORWARD is launching a Sports Edition! I personally get a ton of questions about how to properly FUEL our bodies while training & eating plant based.

Questions such as, “Where will I get my protein?” & “Will I be taking in enough calories?” will be answered along with tons of recipes & tips along the way. The Sport Editions … [Read more...]

Nourish & strengthen our minds; no workout necessary. #RESTWEEK April 8-14.

April 2, 2013 By Kasey 14 Comments

Do you maybe feel that you’re stuck in a “rut” with fitness, healthy eating, or a mind block? Is there a body image hang-up that you’d like to shed? Do you find yourself looking to exercise to “fulfill” that outward appearance approval? If you answered yes to any of the above questions – you’re NOT alone! When I was visiting my soul sister Heather in Boston a few months ago, we had many deep talks about our fears & hang-ups that we wanted to shake. We asked each other – what is one thing that totally makes you feel anxious? We found that if we were to be forced into … [Read more...]

Happy Monday all! I hope you had a great Easter Weekend! I saw this on Facebook the other day & couldn’t resist to repost it.

How can you not smile while looking at that? Too cute! While Easter can be about the bunnies, candy, easter egg hunts, & adorable dog pictures, I was also very thankful for being able to spend the day with my family & boyfriend. Growing up we … [Read more...]
