Today’s guest post is from Jenni Houston, a trainer over on the island I’m currently visiting. I thought you guys would enjoy her delicious recipes. Try one out before summer is officially over. Check out her own blog here!

Hi Everyone!

I am so excited to be doing a guest post for Sarah Fit. My name is Jenni Houston and I am a nutrition consultant and personal trainer living 30 miles out to sea on the beautiful island of Nantucket. Nantucket is a great place to live healthy. With tons of outdoor activities like paddle boarding, kite surfing and biking; gourmet restaurants serving organic, seasonal and sustainable food; and a handful of island farms providing fresh, locally grown produce, being fit and eating clean is a way of live here.

When I first arrived on Nantucket in May, I couldn’t wait to visit the island farms. Bartlett’s, Moors End and Pumpkin Pond. There is nothing I love more than visiting local farms, picking up fresh, seasonal ingredients and trying out new healthy recipes for me and my clients. Here are two of my favorite delicious and simple summer recipes from my Bliss Body Plan that you are sure to love!

    I’ve been wondering how I can make my quinoa a little more fun to eat.
