Online that the 29 year old Kardashian beauty has been working very hard in the gym three or four times a week to lose those 30 pounds. Khloe has been doing a mix of strength training sessions, boxing circuits, and medicine-ball workouts to get into shape. “I’ve definitely become obsessed with working out! It’s funny, because my weight has always fluctuated — but recently so many people have been saying “you look so good, you’ve lost all this weight.” It’s actually been about a year and a half that I’ve been making a lifestyle change.

{Paleo & Vegan} Healthy Cadbury Eggs
Cadbury Eggs were an Easter tradition growing up as a kid, and I absolutely loved them. We usually only got one or two Cadbury Eggs in our Easter basket, so we preserved them and saved them until we were ready to devour them! Fast forward to now, and I honestly can’t remember the last time I had a Cadbury Egg. Yes, they were a fun tradition growing up, but as I have become more health conscious, I’ve decided to ditch the Cadbury Eggs and choose healthier options instead. I am so happy to say that I have found a homemade – Paleo and Vegan – version of Cadbury Eggs! It’s still candy, but a much healthier option than what Cadbury has to offer. This is something I wouldn’t mind eating or allowing my kids to eat every year for...
