March 29, 2017 by Jackie Vega, RDN

As you may know, I am the meal planner for Super Healthy Kids  (Edit: As of Jan 2019 I am no longer with this amazing company. As they grew into more of a tech platform and built Prepear). and I am always finding great recipes to adjust to our standards.  Recently, I picked up some …

Healthy Shamrock Shake

March 16, 2017 by Jackie Vega, RDN

A friend of mine posted a rather disturbing article on FaceBook about how much sugar is in the Shamrock shake from McDonald’s.  All I can say is: Wow! Growing up, I can remember getting it during this time of year and I thought it was awesome. Don’t get me wrong here, my mom was (still …

Warm Up With a Hot Cocoa Smoothie

February 23, 2017 by Jackie Vega, RDN

Whether it’s cold outside or you’re just not feeling well, boost your nutrition intake and feel cozy with a hot cocoa smoothie.      I don’t know about you but when I am not feeling well, especially with a common cold, nothing looks appetizing nor does it taste good.  As a dietitian I know how …

The Healing Ways of an Onion

February 7, 2017 by Jackie Vega, RDN

Onions may not seem like something you just want to run out and get but the healing ways of an onion are probably more powerful than you had originally thought.  When I was pregnant with my son, I craved a salad of iceburg lettuce, red onions, cucumbers, oil and rice vinegar.  An odd craving yes, but maybe …

My Favorite Low-carb Avocado Egg Salad Wrap

June 24, 2016 by Jackie Vega, RDN

It’s just the beginning of summertime and already you are sick of the tedious meal prep, continuous clean-up and the need for creative ideas to keep the kids busy. Well, if that isn’t you, I guess I may be out-numbered, because that IS me.  Even though the kids are not too keen on it, I …

How to Get More Greens Into Your Diet

April 5, 2016 by Jackie Vega, RDN

Do you cringe at the thought of figuring out yet another way to get more greens into your diet? And what about your family? Are they rolling their eyes over your newest “greens” concoction? Yeah. I know what you mean. My family can be a tough crowd sometimes! But it’s super important to get them …

Cherry Nut Protein Shake

March 16, 2016 by Jackie Vega, RDN

For the last 4-5 years I have been using a lower end high-powered blender. I loved it for the first few years but being a dietitian, meal planner and someone who luuuuvs her shakes, that blender has been through a lot of shakes. For the most part, that was the extent of it, just fruit smoothies …

These peanut butter bites are not only good for you, they are filling with just one bite and they are suuuper simple to make.   How often do your kids come home from school and the second they walk in the door they say, “Can we have a snack?” Or, (oh my gosh, this is …

A Kids Favorite: Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie

June 19, 2015 by Jackie Vega, RDN

We have been making smoothies since before the kids were even conceived so I have been trying combination after combination for some time.  I remember giving them green smoothies when they were around a year old each, where I would simply add spinach, water and a variety of frozen fruit.  Talk about devour! The past …

Ginger Mango Coconut Smoothie

April 14, 2015 by Jackie Vega, RDN

After a weekend of running activities as well as the run itself, you may think I would be “run down.” No way! Especially when it comes to living so close to the beach.  Since my initial move to Florida in ’96 I have grown to love the beach more each year.  And now, since our …

An Easy Way to Acquire a Life of More Happiness

February 10, 2015 by Jackie Vega, RDN

Ladies, how often have you heard this: “What do they think? I am sitting around eating bon-bons?” Yea, me too.  Where on Earth did that come from anyways? Regardless, we are busy.  Everyone is busy in their own little ways.  (Or rather, in their own ‘big’ ways).  This is why it is so important for …

My Favorite Pancake Recipe

January 17, 2015 by Jackie Vega, RDN

My mom’s favorite breakfast food when keeping my children overnight is pancakes. She also has a favorite box mix that simply requires the addition of an egg and a cup of water. Plus, she adds grandma’s secret ingredient and my kiddos favorite: mini chocolate chips! No judging, when they are at grandma’s it’s ooookaaaay. Moving …
