We do believe in creating a lifestyle that allows you to have the best of both worlds…eating delicious food and being healthy at the same time. It is possible. Just listen to our show and you’ll see!

Give it a good stir to mix throughout. 3)Leave it to sit for at least 10 minutes. The curds will separate from the whey. 4)Line a fine mesh sieve with dampened cheesecloth and set over a large bowl. 5)Slowly pour the mixture into the sieve and let sit. The longer it sits, the more liquid will drain out and the thicker your ricotta will be. 6)When it's drained to your desired thickness, pour into a bowl. 7)Pairs incredibly well with oven roasted tomatoes and some grilled whole grain bread. Or... just eat it with a freaking spoon! Links: AdamRosante.com Thepeoplesbootcamp.com to register for a class in New York City @AdamRosante The 30 Second Body Our Music: HScottSalinas.com
