While March has officially been named “National Nutrition Month” by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, most of us realize the importance of making educated food choices, implementing sound eating habits and exercising (or at least moving a little) every day

I think eating healthy is a very personal thing – what I eat isn’t necessarily what you should eat, the latest diet that’s all the buzz may NOT be beneficial for your, and our unique needs are constantly changing – there is no cookie cutter solution to nutrition.

Ugh. But, my Low-Carb Watermelon Chia Syrup makes a MUCH healthier option, taking advantage of the fruit’s natural sweetness along with a little stevia.

Traditional pancakes are a no-no on a keto diet, made with flour (hello, carbs) and topped with sugary syrup (hello, more carbs.) I think my body absorbs the carbohydrates just at the mere glance.
