In recent days, I have come across several articles that give smoothies a bad rep & talk about them as being high in sugar & carbs. It even misleads readers into thinking smoothies (as a whole) will make you pile on the pounds rather than help you lose or maintain your current weight. The truth is;…… Continue reading Papaya: The Fruit of The Angels
Beets me why we never thought of drinking this luscious, deep violet-tinted health food earlier! From juices to smoothies to salads, beets are experiencing what can only be dubbed as a “food revival”. After all, they’re embedded with a particular natural sweetness & the nutritional benefits to be reaped are endless. Truth is, not very many people…… Continue reading An Energizing & Cleansing Blackberries, Beets & Banana Smoothie
I still can’t get over the fact September is here! Sweater weather means my blog fare is soon going to diversify into casseroles, soups, multiple versions of chili, pecan pie galore & stews. In the interim, a heat wave continues to move across Toronto over the long weekend & icy cold smoothies seem like a great idea! Green Smoothies used to be…… Continue reading Not your Average Green Smoothie! Mango, Cilantro & Bee Pollen Dreams…
Am alive and well- (or so I like to think). I promise I have not thrown the written piece of my blog into long-standing oblivion. Writing is, and will always be, therapeutic for me. Sadly, today marks 5 weeks since the “grand deluge” (as I’ve come to refer to it) that drove us out of our…… Continue reading Berries, Vanilla Bean, & Oat Crumble Smoothie
It’s a lazy Sunday evening as I document my quest to develop smoothie recipes that are both; easy to follow & taste delicious. This particular one brings a new ingredient to my repertoire: Celery! My lazy Sunday introductory comment was not very accurate, actually. Not sure if I can quite have a lazy Sunday per…… Continue reading Kiwi, Celery, Apple, Pineapple & Mint Detox Powerhouse
If you follow my Instagram feed… you may have noticed my food pictures are conspicuously “different”. It’s like am photographing in a brand new setting; because in fact, I am. The day before we flew out on holiday, some major pipes in our home burst and caused part of the ceiling on the first floor…… Continue reading A Refreshing Kiwi, Banana, & Coconut Water Smoothie
So we just stepped off the plane and are back from picturesque Cuba. It’s the largest island in the Caribbean Sea, and winds of change are finally blowing strong. Cuba has remained isolated from the rest of the world for over half a century; and the effects of this alienation are very palpable. Their cuisine, music,…… Continue reading Farmers Market Bounty: Ontario Cherries & Blue Curly Kale Smoothie
If someone would’ve told me two summers ago that one day I’d top my homemade vegan smoothie with freshly sourced bee pollen for breakfast…. I would’ve exploded into violent, uncontrollable (scary-sounding) fits of laughter. The type of giggles that make your stomach hurt. Smoothies for breakfast? And wait- did you just say, bee pollen!? Um, you’ve got…… Continue reading A Berry Creamy Smoothie With a Side of Bee Pollen, Please!
I love chocolate probably a bit too much. I just added “chocoholic” to my Instagram bio for lack of a better word. If you come up with something better & stronger- am taking suggestions! Chocolate enthusiast doesn’t even begin to cut it. The best part about eating whole, unprocessed foods is that I can still continue to…… Continue reading Almond Butter, Oats & Raw Cacao: A Sip of Heaven
