Celery juice is the latest wellness fad having a *moment* these days. Is it just us or did this happen virtually overnight? Suddenly, we can’t go on Instagram without seeing someone “enjoying” a 16 oz. glass of celery juice. But why? What is all the hype about? And… does it taste good? As with every health + wellness trend, there are some pretty bold claims … Continue reading WTF: Celery Juice
Hello and happy first day of Meal Prep Week here at Philly Fit Foodies!

It’s ironic that we both sort of feel this confusion around wellness, as we like to consider this blog a ‘health + wellness’ site. But, as you’ll read below, 2018 was a pivotal year for both of us in understanding what wellness truly means, and we hope we can bring more of that to all of you in the new year. Hope says: “Honestly, as … Continue reading 2018: Our Year in Review III, Health + Wellness
Part Two of our reflection series is a big one for us. While our recipes make up a majority of the content we share, a big reason we started this platform is because we love fitness. As you’ll read below, we both went through a somewhat similar ‘transformation’ with fitness in 2018—and we’re not talking about a physical transformation. We know our journeys are constantly evolving, … Continue reading 2018: Our Year in Review II, Fitness
We truly can’t believe we’re already writing this blog post (which we’ve divided into three parts to make it easier to digest… no pun intended). All we can say is, what a freakin’ amazing year it has been! We launched this platform on March 10, 2018, with the intention of it being a fun passion project, but it’s become so much more than that. We … Continue reading 2018: Our Year in Review I, Food
Man, it has sure been a minute since we’ve brought you a WTF post (whoops). But we’re bringing WTF back this week to discuss a topic that’s near and dear to my heart: DAYBREAKER. Daybreaker might not be as “buzzword-y” in the health and wellness community as some of our previous WTF topics (e.g. matcha, turmeric, and macros), but it’s my hope that someday soon it … Continue reading WTF: Daybreaker
Hello and happy Thursday! As two people who very much enjoy working in the kitchen, we thought it would be fun to share a few of our favorite “kitchen gadgets”. There are so many gadgets out there, but these are a few that we—dare we say it—can’t live without. Each of these gadgets has effectively amazed us with their capabilities, and has also helped us … Continue reading Let’s Talk Kitchen Gadgets
If you’ve stepped foot in a grocery store recently or if you follow any health food blogs, you’ve likely heard the term “sprouted” used to describe seeds (i.e. grains, nuts, beans and other kinds of seeds). But what does it mean?? And why? If you’ve spent a lot of time wondering this, don’t worry, because same. It’s easy to see or hear things advertised as “healthy” … Continue reading WTF: Sprouted Seeds
Ok, you guys. Time to talk about one of my favorite things ever. SNACKS. As a self-proclaimed Snack Queen, I’m super pumped to share a few of our all-time favorite, go-to snacks that won’t leave you feeling like garbage—physically or mentally (in moderation, of course). I like to be overly prepared with snacks at all times. You just never know when a snack attack might … Continue reading Shoutout to our Favorite Healthy Snack Brands
