Quinoa Sweet Potato POW! Breakfast Cookies
Fresh roasted sweet potatoes mixed with dark chocolate pieces and winter spices to fill your morning with the goodness of sweet potato pie. I wake up at 7am whether my alarm is set or not. I stretch in bed, sit up, twist this way and that and jump in the shower, first thing.
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.
Pumpkin Spice Latte Smoothie
A cool treat on a Fall day – everything you love about Pumpkin Spice Lattes with a goat cheese twist! This weekend is going to be a fun one! My sister, cousin and I are treating ourselves to a girls weekend. We were invited to the O2 Dance Company show last night, planning to do…
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…
Healthy Halloween Recipes (gluten-free + vegan)
My favorite healthy (gluten-free and vegan) Halloween recipes from ant hills, to eyeballs and every brew in between. Like you, I can’t believe that Halloween is right around the corner. This year is flying by faster than the last. My parents warned me this would happen as I aged. Ugh. No matter how old I…
