Hi Sarah,

I’ve decided to share Sugar-Free Strawberry Smoothies for a cold treat. And if you’re hankering for a healthy slice of bread to go with a pat of grass-fed butter, try Basic Sourdough Bread that’s simple, soured, and satisfying.

Thanks for hosting!

Grass fed beef (and dairy) are rich sources of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). CLA is known as a “skinny fat”. It’s an essential fatty acid that we need for a number of functions within our body, particularly when it comes to fat metabolism.
