Not too long ago, I was an instant oatmeal kind of gal. Sad, but oh so true. I’d stack towering boxes inside my pantry whenever they went on sale. Boxes of processed, sugary oats that only needed warm water and I would quite literally, take everywhere. All the intrinsic goodness of oats was quite basically stripped and effaced. Yet…… Continue reading Peaches & Cream: Breakfast Redefined
Chocolate holds a really important place in my life. The more acquainted you get with this blog, the more obvious that will become. But I don’t mean dairy-paired, or “modified milk ingredients” type-of-chocolate. I mean pure, raw, unprocessed Mayan goodness. The chocolate the gods craved. I have discovered raw cacao and I will never turn to…… Continue reading Chocolate Is Good For The Soul
We should all have a go-to detox drink. That wonderful elixir we turn to when we need to lose a pound or two of water weight. Days when we feel bloated, or our eating has gone slightly off track. Or simply days when we just need to feel we’re doing something intrinsically good for our bodies. This is a…… Continue reading The Best Detox Green Smoothie
Nothing says summer like tree-ripened peaches scattered across local farmer markets in Toronto. They are not quite fully in season yet, nor has summer fully arrived. But I just couldn’t resist buying the first basket of peaches I came across. Peaches, nectarines and plums (all from the same family) are some of my favorite fruits. Some people…… Continue reading Life is Peachy
The other day someone emailed me asking about the caloric content in my smoothies. I had to politely explain that I truly don’t have that information available, nor do I want to pursue that route. Not because I don’t want to enter the ingredients into an app that will calculate it for me… But because…… Continue reading Healthy Fats Stage a Comeback: Avocado Green Smoothie
I found myself struggling to find an adjective that would best describe this particular smoothie… There weren’t a shortage of them, no- that wasn’t the problem. In fact, I had an overload of words that came to my mind. Indulgent, Heavenly, Delightful Creamy, Perfect, Decadent… I ended up settling for the first word that came…… Continue reading Superfood Me: Goji Berries, Kiwi, Strawberry & Banana
This was a “Cinco de Mayo” inspired drink, but I should perhaps start by stating there’s no alcohol involved… Sorry! On the upside, this smoothie is nothing short of awesome. You will find yourself entirely consumed by it’s tropical taste and citrusy sweetness. It tastes very similar to a strawberry limeade, but with a creamy,…… Continue reading Happy Cinco! A Strawberry Margarita Cocktail
Kale and I weren’t always on friendly terms. I still remember my first introduction to this amazing leafy green (with a well-publicized superfood reputation)… It came in the form of an overpriced drink at a well-known organic juice bar on the East end of the city. Simply put; it tasted like lawn, and smelled like…… Continue reading Kale Is The New Black
When you can’t find the time to eat oatmeal for breakfast… it’s time to drink it up! A bowl of warm oats has always been both; a health and a comfort food for me. What was standing between me and my porridge was quite simply, time. That precious and elusive little thing called “time”. We all…… Continue reading Purple Rain: Blackberries, Vanilla, & Oats Smoothie
