How to make a healthy BBQ sauce because, sorry, it’s not summer without it

June 22, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC Sorry, you can’t call your little backyard party a barbecue without a really great barbecue sauce. Unfortunately, most store-bought varieties contain more sugar than you’d think, and that’s why this healthy BBQ sauce recipe will take your next gathering to another level. There are a few components every all-star BBQ sauce needs. It has to taste great (duh). A smooth, creamy texture is essential. And it should be just sticky enough to make a mess. It’s safe to say Heidi Boortz, lead recipe engineer at 90/10 Nutrition, nailed all of the above in her clean eating BBQ sauce recipe. Instead of bringing home something from the store with an extra-long ingredients list, this one only requires a few things you probably already have in your kitchen. View this post on Instagram Clean Eating BBQ Sauce! OK…full disclosure here, this recipe came directly from our BBQ Meatloaf recipe, but the sauce is so good and has been buried in that recipe for so long, it was time to make it stand on its own. You really have to try this. It’s easy to make and very tasty. GET THE RECIPE by tapping the link in our bio. You’ll see this pic and you can tap it to go right to the recipe! So cool!

Trader Joe’s banana and almond butter protein smoothie is perfect post-workout fuel

June 21, 2019 at 04:01PM by CWC After an intense workout, the last thing I want to do is whip out your blender to mix up breakfast before rushing off to work. And now I don’t have to: Trader Joe’s just came through with a Banana & Almond Butter Protein Smoothie you can grab and gulp on the go. One bottle of the healthy protein shake—which is primarily made up of coconut water, pea protein, bananas, and almond butter—contains 320 calories, 21 grams of fat, 5 grams fiber, 12 grams of sugar (none added), and 14 grams of plant-based protein, making it a prime RD-approved option to sip post-workout. View this post on Instagram Banana & Almond Butter Protein Smoothie. A little chalky. Tastes great…a little chalky consistency left behind. 🤔. #traderjoes #nondairy #banana #almondbutter #smoothies #peaprotejn #traderjoesmetairie #notterriblenotgreat #bananaandalmondbuttersmoothie A post shared by TiffersNola (@thetiffersnola) on Jun 20, 2019 at 8:33am PDT //www.instagram.com/embed.js “This drink could be a good choice for when you’re on the go and need a quick meal. You get a filling combination of plant protein, fiber, and healthy fats from the almond butter and pea protein,” says Amy Gorin, MS, RDN, owner of Amy Gorin Nutrition in the New York City area. “The banana provides additional fiber and electrolytes, and the main ingredient—coconut water—offers additional electrolytes, which you lose through sweat and need to replenish after a sweaty workout. One serving also provides 15 percent of the daily value of the electrolyte potassium.” ad_intervals[‘402776_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] =

What’s the difference between feeling tired and having fatigue?

June 21, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC If you’re like most Americans right now, you’re wandering through life a sleep-deprived zombie, reaching out for your iced coffee like it’s the life raft that will pull you out of the foggy depths of your….sorry, where was I? I didn’t sleep very well last night, and I’m having a hard time focusing. Oh, right: fatigue! In today’s fast-paced world, it’s normal to feel tired all the time (or as we like to call it, TATT). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that one-third of adults don’t get enough sleep at night. A 2019 study published in the journal Sleep found that the number of Americans getting fewer than six hours of sleep per night has increased by 4 percent since 2013. If you’re thinking that doesn’t sound that bad, consider that lead study author Connor Sheehan told ASU Now that it’s equivalent to “the population of New York, or two Phoenixes, who are sleeping worse over four years.” ad_intervals[‘402895_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘402895_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); In other words, if you’re yawning while reading this, you’re in good company. However, there’s a big difference between being tired and something more serious. It’s totally normal to feel a little tired after a couple of late nights out with your girls or even after a few stressful work weeks. But fatigue…that’s a bit different. Somewhat paradoxically with fatigue, you don’t necessarily feel sleepy or drowsy. Instead,

I don’t feel interesting, cool, or funny enough for my friends—how can I get out of my head?

June 21, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC Meet Good@Life, Well+Good’s advice column. Think of it as a safe space to get intel about navigating the tricky situations life has a sneaky way of presenting at every single twist and turn. This week, our columnist offers advice for when feeling unworthy of your friendships is compromising your social life, relationships, and sense of self.   Question: I feel like I’ve been able to get over impostor syndrome at work. I understand that I am not a fraud with my professional pursuits and am actually qualified for and good at what I do. But with friends (and even friends of friends), those qualifications are bit more nebulous. Feeling worthy, socially, isn’t just a matter of nice or mean—factors much more vague matter, like being interesting enough and cool enough and funny enough. Put simply, I’ve been feeling unworthy, like I haven’t earned a seat at the table—at happy hour, book club, brunch, or anywhere else, really. How can I get out of my own head and keep my social anxiety from hijacking my personality? ad_intervals[‘396895_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘396895_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); Answer: Bear with me while I share a story: Back in the ’90s, there was this North Carolina-based punk band called Avail, and a guy named Beau Beau was one of the members. Technically though, Beau Beau was the tour manager and didn’t play an instrument; his most-visible job for the band was to be a

Ready to dip your toes in the neon trend? Try these 7 color block sneakers on for size

June 21, 2019 at 01:00PM by CWC I wear my white sneakers on the reg like the rest of the world, which is exactly why they’re not exactly white anymore. Sure, they go with every single thing that I wear and are reliable walking shoes, but recently I decided to switch things up a bit, and so I invested in a pair of rainbow-colored, color-block sneakers to brighten up my life and the streets that I walk on. I’m not the only person trotting around in multi-colored kicks, though—everywhere I look these days, my eyes are immediately grabbed by other rainbow-hued sneaks that aren’t shy (at all) with their use of color. There are actual rainbow sneakers, those that pair bright yellows with bright pinks and lime greens, those that alternate cool black and white with neon stripes of color, and the list goes on-and-on. It’s sort of like art deco…for your feet. If you’re staunchly on the solid or neutral-hued sneaker train and think you’d never buy color blocked kicks, hear me out: You can rock a lot of cool looks with them. Like, not only do they add a flash to a monochromatic outfit, but they can also add more color to a color blocked look too. And sometimes more is more, ya know? Keep scrolling for our colorful faves. ad_intervals[‘398460_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘398460_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); Photo: Adidas Adidas Falcon Shoes ($100) This is the pair that I personally own, and

People are slathering celery juice on their faces, and there actually might be some benefits

June 21, 2019 at 11:50AM by CWC As far as wellness trends go, there are two major ones I’ve seen proliferating my social media feeds: quickie at-home workouts, and celery juice. You’d be hard pressed to find an influencer not touting both of these things in their health regimens. But as the green drink du jour has become increasingly common in our kitchens, it’s become buzzy all over again—this time, on beauty shelves. While smoothie shops and grocery stores have incorporated bottled celery juice to stay on top of the health craze, the skin-care industry has been eavesdropping, and concocting formulas that offer equally positive perks for your skin. Apto Skincare founder Marta Cros, for instance, founder Marta Cros says she’s taken inspiration from wellness and superfood trends. “I then work with our product developers to see if it makes sense to translate the trends into skin-care products,” she tells me, especially since she saw her own energy levels and health improve after drinking celery juice every morning for a month. “We quickly realized celery juice is packed with vitamin K, which helps boost blood flow and circulation, and antioxidants. It also has a very cooling and refreshing effect, which is great particularly for the hotter months of the year.” ad_intervals[‘402760_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘402760_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); The latter part I can attest to. After slathering the brand’s Celery Day Lotion ($20) all over my skin, I felt a refreshing pop of moisture that
