A smoothie: a good food to add to your day or a fake-healthy fad? It depends! This week we’re sharing some favorite smoothie recipes and, more importantly, explaining why smoothies are neither good nor bad and may be helpful in supporting you and your goals.

A few weeks ago, I asked both current and past clients in my Facebook group the following question: If you could give one piece of advice to those who are new to tracking macros, what would it be?

The responses received and conversation that followed were so very valuable. Those with months (or even years) of experience were able to share their insight into what has worked for them, and those new to tracking were able to glean some new advice and share what has been helpful to them so far. Today I wanted to share a few of those tips with you!

This macro-friendly carnitas recipe is a simple spin off of a traditional family recipe taken from the Sol Food Cookbook. These carnitas are easy to prepare and can be used in countless dishes throughout the week. Enjoy!
