Puerto Rico Eats: 2019 Edition

One of the things I wanted to do during my most recent trip to the Island of Enchantment was to try new, local food spots. I am not the most experimental eater out there, I have my favorite dishes and I tend to stick to them: I went to Raíces for the first time and…

The Market That Takes the Win

Meet El Mercado de San Miguel–where the drink-while-you-shop game is taken up several levels. Mercado San Miguel is a (sort of) recently renovated, covered market where you can shop for anything from cold cuts to seafood to fruit and nuts, fritters, desserts… and of course, have drinks and tapas while you’re at it too!

I am a huge fan of breakfast–in fact, I could…

Choco-Coco Obsessions

It is no secret that I love Shakeology. For those new to Shakeology, it is essentially a protein powder packed with nutrients and superfoods. I can drink it alone (water + powder) or mixed with a wide array of ingredients (my top two combos are peanut butter + banana and Nutella + almond milk). Today…
