A nutritionist who loves dessert.

It started with a lot of kitchen experiments

From a young age I loved cooking and trying new things out. I had hits and I had misses. But it was always something that I loved doing.

Cooking led me to study nutrition. I love how food can help us feel good, perform well and recover. I graduated from Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez in 2020 and trained in various hospital settings and a private clinic. Food chemistry was my favorite class. That’s where my knowledge of nutrition and cooking finally clicked.

Healthy food can be exciting. That’s the whole idea.

What you’ll find here

Over 500 recipes and still going! All of which are inspired by my Mexican background, what’s in season, the holidays and what I have on hand. Sometimes just what I feel like eating :)

You’ll find high protein recipes here, lower sugar desserts, comfort baking and simple meals to fuel an active lifestyle. All of which include nutrition values (calculated with nutrition tools). Use those numbers as a helpful guide, not a strict rule.

My only food rule: no food rules

There are no good or bad foods in my book. Eating healthy should not prevent you from eating with your family or traveling. Or eating that slice of cake at your birthday party! When you learn how to balance things out you will live a healthier and happier life (and it’s tastier!).

Running, HYROX and real life

Running is my passion! I compete in HYROX, a running race combined with strength exercises. So I always think about what foods will fuel my body. I don’t always get it right but I try my best :)

When I’m not cooking

I’m probably away from home finding great food, meeting cute animals. Or working out with my friends, or creating a Greek yogurt bowl that’s slightly too large. I love coffee until noon, then it’s matcha time.

This blog is where I share my love for food, exercise and living a healthy life. I hope you enjoy being here!
