Good morning!
Today began with a hot mug of coffee.
Oh sweet joy!
I followed up my cup of coffee with an egg sandwich topped with cheese and jelly.
I may have been a little heavy-handed with the jelly knife this morning…
Blog Love: The Lean Green Bean
Yesterday, as I ate my lunch in the break room, I opened up the Bloglovin’ app on my phone and caught up with some blog reading. I read a bunch of blogs and thought it might be fun to periodically highlight one of my favorites since I know many of you are big-time blog readers who are always on the lookout for fun blogs to read.
The blog I am highlighting today isn’t a brand new blog, but it recently became one of my favorites!
The blogger behind The Lean Green Bean, Lindsay, is a registered dietitian. For those of you interested in becoming an RD, Lindsay has a whole section of her blog dedicated to her journey which is really interesting!
She frequently shares simple, healthy recipes, workouts, meal plan prep ideas, nutrition tips and more. It’s a fun blog with lots of great healthy food ideas.
Check it out!

I also just found Olivesnwine (http://olivesnwine.com) and I’ve been reading Olive to Run (http://olivetorun.com). Not sure what it is about olives, haha.
I love her blog! I’m also loving The Londoner (www.thelondoner.me). Definitely check it out 🙂
I love reading new blogs 🙂 I recently started my
Own blog ( http://www.evolutioneatery.com ). I am still fairly new , and was wondering if you recommend anyone to give my blog a face lift (I need help with the design, I am horrible when it comes to technology apart from writing ha!)
I’ve been a reader of your blog for over a year now, I love your recipes, workouts, positive attitude and healthy balance you seem to have with everything 🙂

Since I have a travel blog, www://happytravelbug.com, I read lots of other travel blogs. One that always peaks my interest is etramping.com. Lots of stuff on Asia since she is a teacher in China. I spent time this summer at Disney World, Spain, France, Monaco, and Italy and will writing about all of that soon. 🙂
Katheats is one of my favorites, it also helps that she posts super cute pics of her baby!
Too many to choose just one! I like different things about so many different blogs.
Just started my own, and still working on the design, but content is up. Musings in the life of ME!

I’ve been loving Losing Weight in the City lately as well as some other running-focused blog since I’m training for a half. 🙂

This post made me realize that I’ve been reading your blog for a little over a year. I started reading it when I was the beach last year in June. I thought your blog was so cool and it inspired me to make one. Anyway, I love your blog and Lindsay’s blog a lot! This idea of blog highlighting is a great idea because there are SO many good blogs out there!
Thanks for reading Audrey! And you’re right. SO many good blogs out there!

I recently started my own blog to document my journey to becoming healthy.

Thanks so much Tara!
Along with your blog I read The Small Things Blog. She has lots of hair and makeup advice and even posts tutorials for cute hairstyles. Just like your blog, I love it : )
Thanks for a new blog for us to check out! I love your blog, Julie, and my other favs are Carrots ‘N Cake, Fitnessista, and A Healthy Happy Home, hopefully I’m spelling those all correctly. I’ve just hit the one year mark with my blog where I talk about my family, photography, cooking, and slow and steady journey to a healthier lifestyle – http://www.kristenione.com.
Hope you like The Bean! Can’t wait to check out your blog!
I love BlondePonytail, Carrots N Cake, Fannetastic Food, Iowa Girl Eats, Run Eat Repeat, Fit In Woodbine is a new fave, My Happy Healthy Home, Delights and Delectables, Healthy Tipping Point is a great one, and the Sometimes Healthy Living blog.

I recently discovered Eating Bird Food (www.eatingbirdfood.com), which has lots of great healthy recipes. I also started my own blog not too long ago (thehealthynotes.blogspot.com)!
So exciting that you’re interested in becoming an RD as well! Let me know if I can answer any questions! Love Brittany’s blog as well!!
I love your blog especially the recipes and workouts! It’s giving me lots of inspiration for my own blog http://100goals1369days.blogspot.ca/ . My blogs documents a hundred goals I want to accomplish, it includes recipes too – because who doesn’t like to eat?! 😉
Thanks so much!

I forgot to mention, I am a relatively newer blogger. It has only been a few months. If you want to check out my daily rambles, go to http://www.pnwrunner.com! I love sharing my thoughts about running, fitness, and recipes!
Thanks!! 😉
I just started reading your blog last week….I’m really enjoying it! (my bro and SIL live in Bellevue, WA and half the marathons I run are in the Seattle area, so it’s cool to have a PNW perspective!)
Julie, PBF is one of my favorite blogs and I am a daily reader. You are an inspiration to the blogging community and I really appreciate your efforts to highlight other interesting blogs. The Lean Green Bean has been added to my list of favorites.
I recently started a blog (definitely a newbie) and look forward to learning more about the blogging community. Visit my girlie, tomboy self at http://www.glitteranddust.com 🙂
A pinch of yum…amazing recipe inspiration!!
I love her blog! Especially because the author is such an amazing person – love Lindsay!
I’m excited to see the other blogs you highlight in this little series. I definitly don’t have the time to read more blogs, but I’m always on the lookout for more great ones to add to my reader!
My blog: http://eloves2run.wordpress.com/
Please check it out!!!
Love her!
I love reading Run Eat Repeat, Carrots N Cake, your blog, Lean Green Bean, Run to the Finish, Olive to Run, A Dash of Meg…there are so many great ones!
I recently started my own blog too (as I see in the comments I’m not alone!). It’s been really fun so far!
Some of my favorite blogs recently in addition to yours (of course!) include:
Carrots N Cake
The Hungry Runner Girl
Meals and Miles
Sweet Tooth Sweet Life
I recently joined the blogging party and created my own blog a few weeks ago. I am currently training for my first marathon so a lot of my posts are about running, but I like to include other fun things from my life as well!
I just started reading “Carrots & Cake” and “Blonde Ponytail” (through a link that you put out, Julie, regarding her workouts).
Seriously – like your other readers, I could read blogs all day. I wish I could get into the habit of taking pictures and having a written story to go with my life.
I love her blog too! Especially here Bean Bytes! They get my week off to the perfect start. My BlogLovin’ list continues to grow, but I find myself always reading SkinnyRunner, nhershoes, and your blog almost every day!
I love The Lean Green Bean, so fun to see her featured here! Another blog I discovered recently and absolutely LOVE is It’s Progression by Danica: http://www.itsprogression.com/
I admire your blog so much & the dedication to your readers. Part of my new goal is to engulf myself in the different aspects of the fitness industry-because I think there’s so much we can learn from one another. Your one of my daily reads, so thank you!
Hi Julie!
I recently discovered your blog from a friend and really enjoy reading your daily posts! (and seeing all of your Sadie pictures!) I also just started reading CarrotsnCake; she posts really good (and hard!) workouts!
I started a blog (fitdoxiemom.com) a few weeks ago and am quickly becoming addicted. I feel like I can spend hours in front of the computer discovering new blog ideas and reading other blogs!
I enjoy reading the lean green bean too! So many great blogs! I started mine about 6 months ago and am still trying to get into a ‘routine’, but having SO much fun along the way! Check it out princessandthejog.wordpress.com
I love healthy living blogs and have recently started working on my own! It focuses on balanced living and fighting cancer (for the second time). Blogging is so much fun, but it definitely takes a ton of dedication! I really respect what you do!
There are so many awesome blogs out there! I love all the recipes Lindsay posts! Of course PBF is a fave 🙂 I love Sadie singing the jelly song, haha.
I recently discovered The Shooting Star (http://the-shooting-star.com), a travel blog that I love. In addition to posts about faraway places I never realized I wanted to visit, Shivya has a whole series of posts about how she pulled off quitting her corporate job and making travel blogging her full-time gig.
My own travel blog, http://www.peaksandpassports.com, is still relatively new, and I’d love for you guys to check it out and let me know what you think!
PB Fingers is one I read daily. I look forward to getting caught up each evening. Another of my favs is Carrots N Cake.
I started my own blog a couple of months ago. I’d love for you to check it out: http://www.fitnessfullcircle.blogspot.com.
I’m on my way to check out Lean Green Bean now. Thanks for sharing.
Wendy

I was so excited to see that you’re a fan of the Lean Green Bean and I thought to myself, “Does this mean Julie does Foodie PenPals?? :D” August is my fourth month participating in this project and I LOVE it! If you have no idea what I’m talking about, it’s all right here: http://www.theleangreenbean.com/foodie-penpals/ I highly recommend it!
I have been loving Olive To Run!!!
