Easy Homemade Coconut Milk Using Shredded Coconut

Easy Homemade Coconut Milk Using Shredded Coconut

Kevin has turned into a dairy-free milk monster. He adds it to his ginormous bowls of protein oats, whips up 1-2 protein smoothies per day, and even drinks the stuff! Coming from a guy who used to live on frozen meals and Cherrios (with 2% milk)… we’ve come a far ways.

Check out the Banana Split Smoothie Recipe that I created yesterday using Silk Almond Milk! It’s a dairy-free, vegan smoothie with all the goodness of a banana split.

Check out the Mango Cream Smoothie Recipe that I created yesterday using Silk Soy Milk! It is a creamy vegan smoothie made sweet with fresh grapes and frozen mango.

Healthy Lemonade

Healthy Lemonade

I got home from Calgary late Sunday night and all I could think about was lemonade. Not just any lemonade, the (good) homemade stuff. The 10 lemon crushing, finger stinging, water and sugar boiling, lemonade. And not just a glass of it, I wanted a big ‘ol pitcher of it.

Vanilla Nut Hemp Milk

Oh jeez, Calgary is rocking my world right now. I’m happy. I’m smiling. I’m all lit up. I attended my sister’s convocation (the scientific cookie of the family!), spent Papa’s day with my Dad, girls night with Mom… it’s been nourishing.

My new Omega 8006 Juicer

My new Omega 8006 Juicer

I am overly impressed with my new Omega 8006 Juicer. The feed chute on the 8006 is fairly small, so produce needs to be cut up into tiny small pieces. The prep work required to make a juice is longer than with my previous Breville juicer, but the juice that comes out of this beast…
