Love
I’m all about embracing healthy habits and one habit I follow and strongly encourage is replacing one meal a day with a hearty, meal-sized salad. Although I love whipping up salads at home, there are a ton of awesome spots in our city to grab a big bowl of green goodness.
My go-tos include the chopped salad with chickpeas and housemade giardiniera at Union Market and the Mediterranean salad with salmon at The Daily Kitchen and Bar. I love this one so much I actually came up with a copycat recipe.

Ice Cream
Because I’m all about balance, I love ice cream almost as much as I love salads, and really want to channel warmer weather, let’s talk ice cream. I’m currently hooked on North End Market in the Museum District. Perhaps you’ve had juice from North End Juice, but the market right next door now has superfood ice cream that’s plain magical.
I highly recommend the bulletproof adaptogenic gelato made in collaboration with Rostov's Coffee and Boketto Wellness; the golden milk; or the super green superfood mango loaded with wheatgrass, spirulina, chlorella, goji berries, moringa, spinach and ripe, fresh mango.

Wine Later
Looking for some extra motivation to get outside and run this spring? Sign up for a race!
The Uncorked Half & 5K is on my radar! New Kent Winery serves as the perfect backdrop for a race focused on pacing AND pampering. As soon as you cross the finish line, the lesson in luxury begins! Treat yourself to a post-race massage, yoga, a deluxe brunch package, and, of course, a glass (or two) of wine -- hey, you’ve earned it!
