Vegan Banana Bread Animal Crackers
Yesterday I told you about all the cleansing foods I’ve been craving this week. I compared the bodies’ natural detox patterns to trees shedding their leaves in the fall, and we enjoyed a bowl of glorious green soup. But I kinda left a small detail out of the story and it’s time I let it…
Pump up your Greens ‘Creamed’ Soup
I’ve been craving greens, fish, and fresh fruit like no one’s business this week! I’ve had my fair share of 15 minute salmon cakes, BBQ kale chips, and various fruit salads. Right around this time every year, our bodies go into a natural detox cycle (similar to what we experience in the spring). We gravitate…
Banana Chocolate Chip Protein Pancakes
Saturday was the day of running around like a crazy person. I slept in by accident, tripped over my gym bag, stubbing my toe in the process, lost my toothbrush (how does that even happen?) and spilled a carton of almond milk on the carpet. By the time I got to the gym at 11am…
Hydrating Vegan Chocolate Milk
I’m generally not one to wish away the week, but boy am I happy that it’s Friday. Today’s my rest day from the gym so I treated myself to a 30 minute sleep in. It doesn’t sound like much, but when you wake up at 3:30am every minute counts. I have leftover homemade pad thai…
Oil-free Lemon Blueberry Buckwheat Bakes
When I shared my Fall training plan with you, I’d mentioned that I was hoping to switch up my diet to support a quicker race pace. I knew in order to do this, it would come down to two things: Shed fat Build lean muscle mass In a healthy way. No protein bars, no calorie…
Yasodhara Memories: Eggplant Harvest Bowl
I’m a huge fan of roasted vegetables. They’re easy, versatile, flavorful and make for amazing leftovers. You can blend them with chickpeas to make hummus, add them to a salad, eat them plain, or stick them in between 2 slices of gluten-free bread for a quick sandwich. They must have known I was coming, because…
4 Ingredient Raw Lemon Pudding
Hubba, hubba, dairy-free recipes! But before we get to that… How is it already Sunday? And, the last weekend in September? Weekends have Life is just flying by. I spent most of the day yesterday running around the city. I took pictures throughout my travels to make the day a bit more enjoyable. After heading…
Leanne’s Canning Adventures: Pie Filling
It’s been just over 2 weeks since I canned my first batch of pickles. I’m happy to report that no jars have filled with mold AND my pickles are to die for. Guess that about makes it time for another canning adventure, huh? Today it’s gluten-free, sugar reduced, pie filling. I created 2 versions of…
Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
Oh heavenly orange squash that marks the first day of Fall, how I’ve missed your versatility. Pumpkins are filled with complex carbohydrates, fiber, anti-oxidants, and vitamin A… but I’ve been avoiding them. I blame it on end-of-summer-denial syndrome. Yes, it’s something many of us struggle with *tear* But in an effort to keep up with…
Dreamy Chocolate Chip Cookie Balls
I’m not sure if I’ve ever talked about my parents’ obsession with moving change. I lived in a total of 12 houses in the first 17 years of my life. Now, you may not think that’s a lot, but when you factor in that 6 of those 12 were temporary houses while our next house…
