Blueberry Banana Collagen Nice Cream

One (scorching) hot summer afternoon, I decided to cool down with this super refreshing fruity bowl of goodness.This was probably one of the hottest Toronto summers on record.

So making nice cream regularly for me and the…… Continue reading Blueberry Banana Collagen Nice Cream

A Turmeric Piña Colada Smoothie

This smoothie’s name is a mouthful. But if anyone ever mastered Mary Poppins’ “Super-Cali-Fragilistic-Expialidocious” this smoothie title should be a walk in the park! So Grandma was right all along; turmeric is a powerful natural remedy that helps fight off inflammation. If you ever wondered why curry is yellow, oh well, that’s thanks to turmeric. Turmeric…… Continue reading A Turmeric Piña Colada Smoothie
