Editorial Policy

At Blog to be Healthy, our mission is simple: to provide trustworthy, delicious, and practical healthy drink and breakfast recipes that help readers transform their wellness journey — one sip and one bite at a time.

Our editorial process is built on experience, thorough testing, and transparency, ensuring every smoothie, juice, mocktail, and breakfast recipe meets the highest standards of quality. Therefore, readers can trust that the guidance we share is reliable, achievable, and truly delicious.

1. Publishing Principles

We believe great recipes start with integrity. That means:

  • Original, experience-based content — inspired by our own wellness transformation and feedback from thousands of readers.
  • Fully tested recipes (minimum 5 times) in real home kitchens using accessible, real-world ingredients.
  • Clear, easy-to-follow instructions so even beginners can create healthy drinks and breakfasts with confidence.
  • Inclusive recipe development — offering variations for dairy-free, sugar-free, low-carb, and allergen-friendly dietary needs.
  • Commitment to transparency — all affiliate links and sponsorships are clearly disclosed, and no commercial relationship ever influences our editorial decisions.

In short, our goal is to make healthy living both delicious and achievable for all.

2. Accuracy, Fact-Checking & Expert Review

We are committed to publishing accurate, reliable, and evidence-based wellness content. For this reason, our process includes:

  • Testing each recipe a minimum of five times before publishing across different kitchens and skill levels.
  • Researching ingredient information, nutritional data, and health benefits using trusted nutrition and culinary sources.
  • Internal review by multiple team members for clarity, consistency, and accuracy.
  • Consulting with nutrition professionals and wellness experts when applicable for specialized content.
  • Verifying all nutritional claims with current peer-reviewed research and reputable health organizations.

In addition, we continuously monitor nutrition science updates so that our advice reflects the most current knowledge in healthy beverages and breakfast nutrition.

3. Corrections Policy

If we make a mistake, we fix it — quickly and transparently. However, we also take steps to prevent similar errors in the future.

We welcome feedback from readers and will update content when:

  • An ingredient, measurement, blending time, or instruction is incorrect.
  • Instructions are unclear or could be improved for better results.
  • Nutritional information needs correction or clarification.
  • Images do not accurately represent the recipe or process.
  • Equipment alternatives or substitutions need to be added.

To make this easier, you can contact us through our Contact Page or email us directly.

All updated content is marked with a “Last Modified” date and a brief note explaining the change when significant updates are made.

4. Ethical Standards

Our ethics are blended into everything we publish:

  • No plagiarism. Every recipe is original or adapted with proper credit to inspiration sources.
  • Honest recommendations. We only promote ingredients, tools, or products we personally use and trust.
  • Full disclosure. Sponsored content is clearly marked, and affiliate links are always identified upfront.
  • Responsible use of AI tools. While we may use AI for keyword research, proofreading, or content optimization, all recipe development, testing, storytelling, and editorial decisions are made by real human creators.
  • Not medical advice. While we provide nutritional information and wellness benefits, our content is educational and not intended to replace professional medical advice.

Ultimately, our readers’ trust matters more than anything else.

5. Diversity, Inclusion & Accessibility

We believe healthy living should be for everyone. Therefore, we:

  • Use affordable, widely available ingredients that can be found in standard grocery stores.
  • Provide substitution options for common allergens and dietary restrictions (dairy, gluten, nuts, refined sugar).
  • Include step-by-step instructions and tips for different skill levels and equipment availability.
  • Offer budget-conscious alternatives so wellness doesn’t break the bank.
  • Welcome recipe contributions and cultural beverage traditions from diverse backgrounds.
  • Provide equipment alternatives for those without high-speed blenders or juicers.

In this way, we make sure our recipes are accessible, inclusive, and achievable regardless of kitchen setup or budget.
