Food for all five senses
Hi there. I’m Lily. I’m 32 years old. Since I’m about to download a whole boatload of info about how I live into your mindspace, I thought you might like to know a little more about me than, say, what you might glean from the average green juice recipe on K&C. Ready? Set? Here goes! […]
This post is sponsored by Naked Juice. Thanks for supporting the businesses that keep Kale & Caramel thriving! All opinions are my own. We sat and talked about all the things that come from the sea. We sighed about climate change and pollution and the great gyre of plastic endangering sea life. We crunched on […]
Oh hai. My loves over on Snapchat and Instagram have been after me about a superfood guide for a while now, and it’s finally time.

What can I say, my roots bleed hippy juice. I grew up in a family where tofu was far more common than chocolate, and spirulina was served with every meal.
