The name of the game this week: healthy, portable, cutlery-free, security scan-safe snacking that tastes better than anything you’ll find in an airport. One of the recent recipe requests I got was from a reader named Marie. She asked for a few sweet but healthy snacks she could pack for an upcoming trip, and her […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! In honour of today’s Hallmark holiday, and carrying on this week’s theme of self love and self care, I figured a little sweet treat was in order. Not just any sweet treat though – a versatile one that’s make-aheadable, portable, and healthy enough to eat for breakfast, as a snack, or as […]
Every once in a while, I look back at my oldest blog recipes, specifically for ones that need a little “help” – in other words, the recipes whose photos were taken with my iPhone or point-and-shoot camera back in the very early blogging days. While some of those photos are totally cringe-worthy (and therefore purposely […]
Question: Have you finished your holiday shopping yet? My answer: Not yet. But as of this Friday, it’ll be done and dusted, with just the wrapping left to do. Hooray! I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t really view Christmas shopping as the stressful activity that a lot of movies and marketing make […]
Lightly spiced, lower in sugar and packed with greens, this vegan-friendly Cinnamon Ginger Pear Smoothie is a perfect fit for fall or winter mornings. Since pears are a lighter-tasting fruit, I recommend using milder greens in this recipe. (You will probably find that curly kale and chard will make it taste a little too green!) […]
Don’t let cool temps halt your smoothie game. This Fall Harvest Smoothie Bowl blends seasonal fruit with healthy fats, fibre-rich greens + warm fall spice. It may be cooling down outside, but that’s no reason to put the brakes on your green smoothie habit. Even though I’m 100% a warm weather-loving gal, the thing I […]
She’s a zesty one! This Low Sugar Key Lime Pie Green Smoothie is naturally energizing and refreshing, making it a perfectly healthy way to start the day. With plenty of fiber and no added sugars, you’ll be able to maintain a stable blood sugar curve. That means no mood swings and no crazy energy crashes. Cheers […]
I know it’s not exaaaactly beach season anymore, but I’m really not ready to let go of summer. With Hawaii on my mind, I’ve been prepping my tastebuds (and keeping my Vitamix very busy!) this week with tropical-inspired blends like this Pineapple Coconut Mojito Smoothie. What’s so great about it? Plenty! Let’s start with the […]
Healthy, delicious and perfect for fall, these Gluten-Free Apple Pie Oatmeal Snack Bars are ideal for snacking on the go, breakfast, or dessert. They’re also a cleaner version when compared to many store-bought bars. Whip up a big batch and you’ll be set for the week! When I was little, my parents raised my sister […]
As much as I love how pretty and pink they look, I can’t say I’ve ever been a huge fan of grapefruit on its own. The nutrition geek in me really wants to because they’ve got a long list of health benefits, including being low in sugar, high in immunity-boosting vitamin C and antioxidants, and […]
