Coconut Cauliflower Rice
Bits of cauliflower enveloped in a toasted coconut milk and cardamom sauce. Coconut “rice” without the grains or starch. My girl Melissa from Clothes Make the Girl just launched her new cookbook, Well Fed 2 – a collection of recipes for people who love to eat. People who love to eat? That’s ME! (And I…
Roasty Toasty Coconut Ginger Squash Porridge
Healthy porridge made with fresh roasted butternut squash, gently scooped and surrounded with fresh cashew milk, toasted coconut and ginger chunks. I usually go for savory breakfasts over sweet only because if I start the day with an overly sweet breakfast, I’ll be craving sugar all day long.
Creamy Vegan Bone Bowl
Greens bowl loaded with steamed greens, paprika roasted almonds and a creamy mushroom sauce. When your body is not getting estrogen, it has a hard time maintaining bone density – a major problem for someone who hasn’t been producing estrogen for over 5 years (aka me).
High Protein Crustless Pumpkin Pie (gluten-free + paleo)
The easiest most healthy pumpkin pie you’ve ever indulged in. It’s wheat-free, gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, paleo, and high in protein! I’ve been feasting on all sorts of yumminess during my visit to Victoria, BC. I’ve been pleasantly surprised to see gluten-free, grain-free, and paleo options in the most unlikely of places.
Vegan Speckled Pumpkin Curry
A spicy pumpkin-based curry with pureed pumpkin, roasted pumpkin cubes and a coconut milk and vegetable-based broth. No tomatoes, grain-free and ultra soothing. Going to India last year (by myself) was the wisest, scariest, most satisfying thing I’ve ever done. I fell in love with the feeling of being free, I connected with myself in…
Oil-free Chocolate Pumpkin Protein Bars
Moist grain-free (and paleo!) protein bars made with pumpkin puree, protein powder and magnesium, drizzled with a healthy layer of melted chocolate. This week is all about the pumpkin! We’re kicking things off with two recipes today (I’ve included a new Pumpkin Latte Smoothie recipe at the end of today’s post… don’t miss it!).
7-Ingredient Chewy Carrot Cake Cookies
Chewy coconut cookies with shredded coconut, eggs and honey for a super-simple approach to carrot cake, cookie style! I’ve been speaking at a bunch of nutrition chats, workshops and retreats lately. Which is SUPER rad, I love it… but I have 0 nice clothes. I haven’t gone shopping since… high school? Ya, that was like,…
Fruit & Veggie Smoothie Leathers
A healthy vegetable and fruit-based smoothie, made into fruit leathers for the perfect portable snack. It will work with any of your favorite smoothie recipes! It’s hard to believe that I’m already on day 4 of my 5-day juice kit-cleanse from Total Cleanse. As nice as it is to have full control over the juices…
Cleansing Cashew Milk + Juice Cleanses
Perfectly creamy, velvety milk made from cashews. Perfect end-of-day drink when you’re on a juice cleanse. Every 3 months, like clockwork, my body craves a juice cleanse. February, May, August and October. Year in and year out. It’s quite cool. Last time I got the cleansing urge was in August. We had just moved from…
Rockin’ Roots Warmed Kale Salad
Cinnamon roasted root veggies, combined with soft greens, toasted squash seeds and a garlic dressing. Serve this salad warm, fresh out of the oven. Kevin, Lexy, Pebbles, my Dad and I are nestled in the fifth wheel kickin’ it camping-style this long weekend. We slept in on Saturday, snacked on grain-free apple cornbread (yum!), played…
