Foodie turned Holistic Nutritionist
If you know me, you know I love a matcha latte and especially love having it while relaxing with a good book or writing. I even wrote all about my love for other lattes in this post. So, now that summer is here, I wanted to create an iced version of my fave green tea so I could enjoy it on a hot summer day. Although, we haven’t had the nicest of days this summer, this iced matcha latte does serve its purpose when the temps do get hot enough….
Who else loves a good caesar salad?! I know I do. But usually the store bought versions are a little less than stellar when it comes to ingredients. That is why I love making my own dairy free version and slathering it all over some kale and romaine. This dairy free caesar salad has become my go-to for good reason, it is straight up delicious! Be warned, you’re going to want to slather this dairy free caesar salad dressing over alllllllll the salads.

I often get asked the most about easy lunch and dinner options that are simple and healthy. It can be hard to work a full time job and then come home and have to make dinner and then worry about what to bring for lunch. I get it 1000% because that was (and is) me for most of the time. I commute to an office job three days a week, down from my normal five, one year ago. So I get the hustle and hassle of bringing a lunch and having enough time to make a healthy dinner. I wanted to create an easy recipe for you to showcase that healthy eating can be easy, delicious and attainable. These nori wraps are perfect!

Another Monday eats blog post for ya! Weekend meal prep completely saved the day for me and so I was able to pull together some great meals. I highly suggest taking some time and meal prepping ahead of time when you can so that you too can have endless meal and food options. What is better than having endless food options?! Not much…

As someone who calls herself a holistic fooodie, I definitely love food and think about it far too much, in a good way of course. Whenever I make plans to go to a new restaurant, I research it like I would a project, I put in work. I look at what the critics say, what reviewers think and the best items to order off the menu. It is serious business, I tell ya. So when it dawned on me that I have never posted a Toronto foodie review, I knew that needed to change. So here are my favourite places to go to when you are in the city. I have included both the ones that cater to a more healthy lifestyle and those that don’t (part two). I live in the downtown core in King West, so my focus is primarily in this area. Enjoy!

One of the most common complaints I hear about (and even witness firsthand sometimes) is bloating, which is especially common in women. I want to break down for you why this happens and discuss natural ways to deal with bloating. Because nobody has time for that terrible feeling that your pant button is going to explode off after eating or drinking something.

Today’s post on Nutritionist Eats is a good indication that listening to your body and giving it what it needs is so important.
I woke up and had a mug of bone broth made in my slow cooker the day before, it was warming and felt exactly like what I wanted. After finishing that, I checked some emails and then started to get ready for another round of my HIIT session. I got through most of it and then had to stop, I felt like I was going to throw up and my stomach was in knots. I think what happened was that I drank too much water (liquids) prior to working out and unfortunately this digestive trouble lasted me all day!…
How in the world is it already almost March?! I actually cannot believe it, but if the weather lately is any indication, then spring surely is on the way and I couldn’t be more excited. Perhaps this is why I got a little ahead of myself and bought a bunch of fresh berries (even though they aren’t local or in season) to add to my homemade coconut yogurt. I have been playing around with coconut yogurt since last year and published my last recipe almost exactly one year ago. Although, I do like that recipe, the taste was too milk-y for me and not the exact consistency I wanted, so I tried again with coconut meat and finally found success. WHOOOO HOOOO!

Why I stopped being vegan is the follow up to part one of my story and my journey into becoming a Holistic Nutritionist. As you learned in part one, I didn’t grow up living super healthy nor did I have any interest in my own health and wellness besides just wanting to ‘look good’. So when my boyfriend (Sam) and I moved into this new condo in Toronto, a whole new world of cooking opened up for me. It also opened up a deeper issue that I had been hiding from, my messed up relationship to food and with myself.
