Let me preface this by saying that I have always been a pretty disciplined, health-conscious person. I eat clean and mostly whole foods. I intentionally watch sugar and carb intake. I read labels. I don’t do seed oils or processed foods. I take my vitamins and supplements religiously (and there are quite a few). I pay attention to macros. I stay active.

Hippy Crap is exactly what it sounds like—a fun, affectionate family nickname turned into a whole philosophy (and now a brand!) for making everyday meals a little healthier without turning life upside down. Hippy Crap isn’t about perfection. It’s about small, realistic swaps that make everyday meals a little healthier—without turning cooking into a chore or sacrificing taste.
