Let's get to know Kristina a little bit, she shares some information about herself below. And make sure to check out her blog Love & Zest for lots of yummy recipes & instagram( kristinalaruerd ) for photos that will make you hungry What does your day to day look like?
Every day looks different. I work full time as a sports dietitian for Tara Gidus Nutrition Consulting where I consult with the Orlando Magic and UCF Athletics department. I also see private nutrition clients and athletes for sports nutrition, weight loss, food sensitivities, and eating disorders in Orlando. Love & Zest is my food and nutrition blog where I share {mostly} healthy recipes, life, and nutrition and I provide virtual nutrition coaching to clients and recipe development and food photography for companies. With all the different aspects of my job, ever day is a different type of day!
How did you start your blog?
I started blogging when I was in my nutrition internship in our first year of marriage. I had all of my granny’s grease stained recipes and I had to learn how to cook, but food that fit my healthy lifestyle. So I started tweaking some of her recipes and I wanted to share it online to create a collection for our family. I’ve been blogging for 4 years and in that time it’s grown from a small hobby and has turned into a great source of income for us through recipe development and photography for brands, and spokesperson work. Most importantly, there is this big sense of community in the healthy living blogging world and many bloggers have become some of my greatest friends and they inspire me to get better every day.
What do you do for fun?
I love spending quality time with my husband Eric and our little feline child, Pearl. They are just the greatest. Eric and I love to stay active. We do CrossFit, run together and take long walks. I also enjoy connecting and relaxing with yoga.
