About me

Hi! I’m Jaclyn, a Holistic Nutritionist and foodie. Over the past few years, I have developed a deep appreciation and understanding of food, wellness and self-love. I know that no matter how much kale you eat, if you have a negative relationship with food and your body you won’t truly feel well. If you like kale and cocktails, then you are in the right place.

CHIA PUDDING, THREE WAYS: Looking for the quickest

CHIA PUDDING, THREE WAYS: Looking for the quickest breakfast? For me it has to be chia pudding 💯. I’ve been enjoying these for years now. And I’ve learned a thing or two about consistency and flavour when it comes to these guys. So I’m sharing three different chia pudding recipes on the blog! One of them is this mango-matcha flavour for when you need a little pick-me-up with your breakfast. I’ve been on a major mango 🥭 kick lately and I’ll def be making this version again very soon. Here’s what you’ll need to make them!
- chia seeds
- milk (canned coconut milk is 👌🏻)
- matcha powder @soarorganics
- mango
- coconut yogurt @maison_riviera
- shredded coconut (for topping)

So which one would you choose first? Mango matcha, vanilla raspberry or chocolate-almond-banana? Decisions, decisions 🤔. Full recipe is here - https://holisticfoodie.com/vegan-chia-pudding/

TAHINI CHOCOLATE LAYERED SMOOTHIE: Been obsessing

TAHINI CHOCOLATE LAYERED SMOOTHIE: Been obsessing over this vanilla-tahini-salted chocolate layered smoothie lately and I can’t stop making it. I love loading them up with veggies that don’t alter the colour or taste too much, one of my faves is frozen romaine 🥬. Plus romaine is so underrated IMO, it’s an amazing food for skin health too with lots of vitamix A, K and C and folate. Here’s how to make this layered vanilla-tahini-salted chocolate smoothie (save this for later!):
.
Ingredients:
3/4 frozen banana
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt (I like @maison_riviera dairy free coconut yogurt)
2 tbsp @parallel_brothers tahini
1/3 cup frozen zucchini (sliced)
1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds (or hemp seeds)
Large handful frozen romaine
Scoop of vanilla collagen or protein powder (I love @botanicahealth plant based vanilla)
1/4 cup frozen cauliflower (optional)
2 @ndmedjooldates (pitted)
1 1/2 tbsp @rodellevanilla cocoa powder
Directions:
Add all ingredients except the dates and cocoa powder into a blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed, but I like it thickkkk.
Pour half of the vanilla layer into two glasses.
Add the date and cocoa powder to the remaining smoothie mix and blend until smooth, add additional water if needed.
Pour this chocolate layer on top and swirl. Eat with a spoon or straw and top with chia seeds. Enjoy!

It’s been a week over here and I’m looking for

It’s been a week over here and I’m looking forward to letting my hair down and maybe making one of these this weekend (or you know 3?! 🙃). I’ve been in a weird funk for most of the week, feeling a bit all over the place, caught in an endless comparison game and unsure of everything I create. And it would be easy to hide, stay off Instagram and act like everything is ok, but I’m a big believer in showing up authentically and imperfectly. Because the truth is, there’s nothing wrong with these thoughts and feelings. But how we choose to show up for ourselves and how we let people see us when we feel vulnerable, messy or uncomfortable is important. After all, we’re all navigating this thing called life, and it can be messy, uncomfortable and hard. But if we only show up to show the beautiful and hyper curated stuff, that endless cycle of not feeling like we’re good enough just continues.

Ok I’m calling it a day very soon and gonna shake it off (and shake up a martini 🍸 with all the olives, obvi 🫒)

True story: you can’t go wrong with a dish made

True story: you can’t go wrong with a dish made up of noodles or a spicy peanut sauce. And this dish has both 💯👌🏻😋 #sendnoods. I thoroughly enjoyed slurping up these soba noodles tossed in a creamy, sriracha-garlicky peanut sauce with crunchy celery and Napa cabbage. Oh yeah, this dish takes only 20 minutes to make too 🙌.

Happy #nationalgrilledcheeseday with this brie, arugula & prosciutto grilled cheese! This is for when you want something a little more than a classic grilled cheese, save the recipe for later 🔥🧀🍞. Brie melts like no other and that makes it ideal for a grilled cheese. Add to that some sweet fig jam, peppery arugula and crispy prosciutto and it hits all the flavour notes 😋.

- Fig jam
- Slices of brie cheese (about 2 oz per serving)
- Handful arugula
- Thinly sliced prosciutto
.
How to make:
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat.
- Brush both outside pieces of bread with mayo (or use butter).
- Spread the fig jam on the inside, then add the brie, prosciutto and arugula on top.
- Close the sandwich and cook for about four minutes per side, until nice and golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Enjoy!

Mid week reminder: don’t put on a clean shirt wh

Mid week reminder: don’t put on a clean shirt when you’re in the kitchen 🙈. Because if you’re like me (or 95% of people - totally accurate number btw) you will spill something on it. And life is too short to have to stop and do a load of laundry when you’re baking banana bread 🍌. But like a true professional, I just kept on going 😅.

What four letter word immediately came out of my mouth after noticing I dirtied my shirt 🤬🤣😬 #aintnobodygottimeforthat 📸 @juniper.island @merrysomers

Quick dinner idea! Seared scallops + brown butter

Quick dinner idea! Seared scallops + brown butter + crispy pancetta + crispy capers 🤤. I know, I know, scallops are kinda fancy and intimidating but they’re actually fairly easy to cook. Some tips for preparing scallops, pat them dry VERY well with paper towel. Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add some oil (evoo works the best). Once the skillet is hot, sear those scallops for about 2 minutes (depending on size) and then flip and sear the other side. When they’re almost done cooking, add some butter or ghee to the skillet right at the end and spoon it all over the scallops👌🏻. By doing this, you’ll get a nice browned crust which is exactly what you want in a scallop.
.
Last tip - if you can get scallops from Costco (in the freezer section) that will be the best price (that I’ve found) and they taste 💯. The full recipe for these will be over on @rily.good so be sure to check them out over there!
