5 Tips: Eating Healthy on a Budget (+ Beating Cancer)

by Arielle J on March 20, 2013

I wrote this article to remind you, your friends, young adults with cancer, survivors, my friends, my family and everyone out there beating cancer that healthy eating can be easy + reasonable.

Also, food can become one of your medicines, so eat up and eat well!

Read the article here.

I also wrote the article as a tribute to Sam, as a thank you for being such a positive example and role model. When I was in 11th grade, Samantha, my sister’s best childhood friend, was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma – a rare form of bone cancer.

My sister and Samantha were the same age, 21 and had one semester left of college. They were getting excited to graduate, setting up post-college interviews, but Samantha had to turn around and head to Sloane Kettering, undergo rounds and rounds of chemo and surgery and hold off from finishing her last semester.

I remember being really nervous to visit her (she was one of the first young patients with cancer that i had known) and she was so positive and upbeat, you would’ve never known what she was going through.

She ended up beating that cancer and then fast forward two years, she was diagnosed with another form of cancer.

Now, fast forward to today- she is a two-time young adult cancer survivor (you go girl!!), went back to college to get her diploma, still positive as ever, still cute as ever AND a mother of TWO little cuties with the cutest husband. WOW.

Not only that, in 2003 she co-founded The Sam Fund, to provide
young adult cancer survivors with programs, services and scholarships after treatment. Quadruple WOW.

Read the article here.

Then go drink some water (with lemon) and eat your greens!

My friend,Nitika Chopra Nitika Chopra has a new
show coming out soon and I was
featured on one of the episodes,
interviewed by the awesome, Ereka Vetrini.
(Can’t divulge any details yet, but stay tuned!)

We shot one segment at a supermarket and another
segment in my kitchen.

Here’s a sneak peak:

In preparation for the shoot, I had a pep-talk
with my friend, Christa Orecchio
from The Whole Journey who is quite a
health and wellness tv personality.

Check out some of her inspiring
videos here.

She recommended that I make a hummus for my segment,
so I used her delish Raw Almond Hummus,
swapped the almonds for cashews +
changed it up a little…
and here it is!

Tastes JUST like regular (chickpea)
hummus!!

Raw Cashew Hummus
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups raw cashews (soaked for at least 5 hrs)
2 tbs tahini
1/4 water
3 tbs lemon juice
2 garlic cloves
1/4 tsp sea salt
cayenne (optional for garnish)

DIRECTIONS
1. Soak and drain cashews.

2. In blender, blend the garlic, then add the soaked cashews, garlic, lemon, tahini and sea salt and blend!

Optional- Add some cayenne for a spicy kick (+ to help boost your metabolism!)
Voila!

Dip a chip into it,
spread it on a wrap, or
just eat with a spoon! #Yummy!

Stay tuned for the tv episode
where I mention this recipe…
coming to your television soon!

P.S. Craving more hummus recipes? Here is a recipe for edamame hummus and home-made traditional chickpea hummus.

Healthy + Happy Lips

by Arielle J on January 16, 2013

Recipe for healthy +
happy lips (especially during
the winter):

1. Drink a lot of water. Hydrate
yourself from within. Often chapped
lips are from lack of water.
Interesting, right?

2. Hydrate externally with good
quality lip balm.
Heaters + wind + cold air
can suck the moisture out of our lips
so we often lather on vaseline +
other “chapsticks”.

This is my fave lip balm because it:
1. tastes like mint chocolate spread all over my lips (um, yum!)
2. it’s super moisturizing
3. it doesn’t wear off after 5 minutes
4. it doesn’t dry out my lips (like other brands)
4. it’s made of real peppermint oil
(in addition to coconut oil,
which is anti-bacterial)

Comes in different flavors: cinnamon, cocao, citrus + peppermint.
(The peppermint + cinnamon flavors are my fave!)

Also available vegan (not made with beeswax):

Also comes in a 4-pack with a cute tin:

SW Basics of Brooklyn makes some of the
best “truly natural” skincare products,
hand-made from organic products in their
factory in Brooklyn.
(Their exfoliant + face cream is also AMAZING)

Be observant of what you’re putting on your
lips because most of it ends up getting into
your mouth! Who wants to ingest petroleum +
artificial coloring?!
Not me!

Check out their awesome products
here.

Total win. Try it- I think you’ll like it!

be natural. be cool. be well.

xoxo

be well,
arielle

Cashew Cream

by Arielle J on December 7, 2012

I was craving this “cake batter” recipe,
but I only had a few ingredients and a few minutes,
so I whipped up this Cashew Cream.

It made the PERFECT post-yoga snack –
a tiny bit sweet, with a little salty
and a dose of good fat and protein.

Just lick it up with a spoon or use it as an alternative to whipped cream and drizzle on top of some Cinnamon Roll Donut Holes.

Cashew Cream
What You Need:
1 cup raw cashews
3/4 cup almond milk, unsweetened (or hemp, hazelnut, coconut milk or coconut water)
3 tbs coconut butter (optional)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch sea salt
3 dates (or 1/2 tsp maple syrup, coconut palm sugar or brown rice syrup)

Directions:
1. Soak raw cashews in water (at least 1 hr but overnight is best)
2. Drain soaked cashews.
3. Add ingredients (soaked cashews, milk, sweetener, vanilla, sea salt)
to blender and blend on low until creamy.

*Yields approx 5 servings

*add more milk or water if you want less of a thick texture and more of a creamy consistency.

It’s also perfect for breakfast:
add it on top of some home-made granola.

Or, if you’re feeling fancy, eat it for dessert:
add some cacao nibs, shredded coconut,
and cinnamon.

Craving more cashew cream? Check out this recipe for Mini Pancakes with Strawberries and Cashew Cream.

Enjoy!

be creamy. be satiated. be well.
