Want a quick and easy breakfast idea? I know, I love a good, quick, healthy and easy recipe for the weekday mornings. Which is why I created this sweet potato breakfast bowl. If you can roast the potatoes the night before (or even on the weekend when you have more time), you can easily whip this up. All you need are some fun toppings, a blender and some kind of nut butter, oh and sweet potatoes of course. I love getting creative with the toppings so I feel like I am having something different from day-to-day. The other great thing is that I’ve had this both warm and cold and both work….
Spelt Pancakes with Coconut Whipped Cream and Chocolate Chips
This is my first pancake recipe on the blog! To be honest, that isn’t too crazy when I think about it. I am much more of a savoury breakfast person so I don’t do pancakes very often. And second, I am so picky when it comes to pancakes. I want them fluffy and light, but also nutritious and kinda healthy. I just don’t like overly sweet things, so you’ll never find me ordering a stack of pancakes when I am out, it’s eggs all the way. The problem with using more fibrous flours is that they aren’t as fluffy, but these spelt pancakes are so good, it doesn’t matter. So you may lose a bit of fluff, but trust me, with the toppings you won’t even notice. Plus they are much more filling. …
Chickpea Brownies: No-Bake, Vegan and Gluten Free
Lets just preface this whole post and recipe by saying these chickpea brownies are not your typical brownie. And I am ok with that. So, if you make them, you should be ok with that too. That isn’t to say that regular, baked ooey-gooey brownies don’t also have a place at the table. They sure do in my book. But, if you want to try something a little lighter and a no-bake version, these chickpea brownies might just do it. They are vegan, contain no refined sugar and are gluten free, plus they have lots of fibre and protein. Curious? Read on… …
Joyous Health Shampoo and Conditioner Review
Are you into having healthier hair, naturally? You may want to have a look at what ingredients are in your shampoo and conditioner. Even though you may think it isn’t all that important as you are just washing it out, it does matter. I’ve been using natural hair care products for about five years now and was really happy to see my fave holistic nutritionist, Joy McCarthy launch her Joyous Health shampoo and conditioner. So if you want to know how I like it, stay tuned for my full review! …
Best Foods for Healthy Skin: My Top Five
I don’t know about you, but I am pretty obsessed with healthy skin. I love to keep my skin looking glowy, dewy, hydrated and just as radiant as possible. Of course, it doesn’t always look picture perfect because that isn’t real life either, but when I make sure to incorporate more nutrients into my life, I notice a big difference. I love including fun superfoods and supplements for added skin benefits, but I’ll let you in on a little secret, you don’t need to have them. Regular food (and water) can also do wonders for our health and our skin. Today, I am focusing on the best foods for healthy skin, which include my top five favourite beauty foods that you can start including right now to help boost your skin’s appearance. …
Jicama Tacos with Jackfruit: Grain Free & Vegan
I cannot even begin to tell you how good these jicama tacos were. I want to throw out that term “life changing” but it’s sooo overused (in the blogging and food world) and I don’t want you to think these are overhyped because they are not. I was talking about them for days after I ate them and even my boyfriend, Sam, told me I had to blog this recipe. He is always brutally honest when it comes to recipes and so if you are a little weary of how these taste, don’t be! Trust in the process friends and just make these jicama tacos in some form because they are legit PERFECT for spring and summer. …
How to Become a Holistic Nutritionist: My Story (Part One)
One of the most popular questions I get via Instagram is without a doubt how to become a Holistic Nutritionist and create your own business. It was a good indication that I needed to actually share my whole story on what led me to this career, how I got started and what school I went to. The field of alternative health and wellness and holistic nutrition seems to be growing at rapid speed and I love that this shift is happening. I believe very strongly in the power of alternative health, but that doesn’t mean I also don’t appreciate and recommend western medicine as well. I think that there is a time and place for both and it is never my place to judge one or the other or anyone else that decides what is right for them….
Birthday Cake Energy Balls + What I am Loving Lately
Funny thing about me is I actually don’t really love too many sweets and birthday cake is usually a little too much for me, but Sam lovessss birthday cake. Actually he likes anything sweet, especially in candy form and lots of sprinkles. So I basically made these healthier birthday cake energy balls for him and obviously had to use sprinkles. They add such a nice touch and what is a birthday cake without sprinkles? Sad, it’s a sad freakin’ cake. After I made these I had to test them out on Mr. Sprinkles himself and he LOVED them so much that they didn’t last longer than 24 hours in our house… so you’ve been warned. Maybe you want to hide them in the freezer so you don’t eat them all so quickly, I definitely will do that myself next time. …
All About Natural + Organic Deodorant
Recently, I attended a detox talk at Pure and Simple where the panelists talked all about how to detox our bodies daily and about natural deodorant. There was so much great information shared that night and it really got me thinking that I have never talked in much detail about why to use natural organic deodorant and specifically which ones I like the best. So I decided to ask a poll on my insta stories to see how many people were using natural deodorants and there were about 20% of people that were a little nervous to try natural deodorant. It’s a big deal, I get it and it can be really hard to find a natural organic deodorant that works, so I wanted to do my part and share with you what I have found to be the most effective. …
Vegan Creamy Avocado Sauce + BIG NEWS
Do you ever make a recipe or a meal so many times that you just know it by heart and you don’t even need to write it down? That is what this vegan creamy avocado sauce is to me. I’ve made it so many times with so many variations and it always turns out incredibly delicious, whether you have it on pasta or zoodles, you’re gonna love it. When I made it the last time, I literally sit there the whole time saying, “damnnnnn, why don’t I make this more?” Yeah, it’s strange that I sit and say this to myself, but what can you do. At least I was eating it alone? hah…
