Summer is coming, though you wouldn't know it with the chilling weather we've been having here in New York. Like most people, I have been trying to get my body Summer ready. Not fun! I'm not really one for going to the gym, though I have started to like Pilates (that's for another post).

So in lieu of working out, I have been trying to watch what I eat. I don't have a sweet tooth, but I am guilty of snacking throughout the day. 'Healthy' snacks are just not that fun- until I found seaweed snacks!

I know what you're thinking, Seaweed? Yes seaweed!

Seaweed is actually quite good for you, it contains high levels of vitamins A and C, and is also a good source of calcium. Seaweed is naturally vegan, and its best-known benefit is that it is an extraordinary source of a nutrient missing in almost every other food: iodine.

I tried the Kirkland Signature Organic Roasted Seaweed – made from Winter Harvest seaweeds from South Korea.

Certified organic by QAI, a USDA-accredited certifying agency, they contain Organic Seaweed, Organic Canola Oil, and Sea Salt. They have no preservatives, artificial colors or flavors, and No MSG added.

Above all that, they taste delicious!

Worst thing that could happen is that you can eat a whole pack in one sitting.

Enjoy!!

bon appetit chard H Mystique Haiti Haitian Blogger nyc paleo paleo diet recipe Swiss Chard

This is my first time cooking with chard; and must admit, when I saw it in Whole Foods, I snatched it up primarily because of its pretty vibrant colors.

But it's not just a pretty veggie. It ranks second, only to Spinach, for healthiest vegetable!

Chard, also called; Swiss chard or spinach beet,is a nutritional powerhouse! It is an excellent source of vitamins K, A, and C as well as a good source of magnesium, potassium, iron, and dietary fiber.

A leafy green vegetable, often used in Mediterranean cooking; chard has been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce the amount of oxygen needed during exercise and enhanced athletic performance.

Just off of a 28-day detox, and trying out the Paleo diet, I was open to trying some more healthy diet alternatives and decided to give chard a try.

Topped mine with a grilled salmon and had a very tasty, flavorful- and nutritious dinner.

berries clean eating H. Mystique Haitian Blogger Mystique non-dairy paleo diet So Delicious strawberries blackberries raspberries. coconut milk unsweetened

In scientific terminology, a berry is a fruit produced from the ovary of a single flower in which the outer layer of the ovary wall develops into an edible fleshy portion.

Because of their fiber and liquid content, berries give us a feeling of fullness so it's perfect when you're trying to watch the calories.

Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries are powerful super foods. They are rich in nutrients, antioxidants, and phytochemicals which may prevent the effects of aging, high blood pressure, and certain types of cancer.
