Mango, as you may have figured out, is also a recurring theme on my blog. It is and will always be one of the flavors that brings me right back to my childhood. I love both; the fruit and the memories it evokes. Memories of careless, sunny days in the yard of the house where I grew up. Whenever I…… Continue reading A Very Tropical Mango, Banana & Apple Smoothie

I once used to live for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. True story. During my undergrad years, I would even open one for “breakfast” when in a rush on my way to work at the university library. But as any cheap chocolate connoisseur would attest; they’re usually sold in packages of 3, and I would usually always arrive…… Continue reading Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Banana Galore

“Green Smoothies Galore” will never end. Fact. But when green smoothies taste amazing beyond expectations, and I make them refined sugar, dairy and gluten free- why would you ever want to see the last of them? Every day is a new beginning when it comes to a smoothie. I absolutely love getting dirty in the kitchen and testing new…… Continue reading Pear, Vanilla, Banana & Oats Smoothie

The last couple of days have brought wonderfully warmer climes to Toronto. It’s insanely welcoming, back to the park, time to pack your coat type-of-weather.  And just like every year, as soon as the weather changes- so do my cravings. Watermelon spells summer for me. It’s the perfect thirst quencher and it’s just great to entertain that sweet…… Continue reading Warmer Weather Asks for Watermelon

Smoothie Bowls are taking the smoothie world by storm, or are they? I would best describe them as deliciously tasting “glorified smoothies” with a carefully chosen topping array. Although they look intricate in pictures, please know that when I’m making one for myself (that won’t be photographed, of course)- I don’t quite perfectly align the chia seed trail or the bananas…… Continue reading Chocolate & Maca Smoothie Bowl

Pomegranate is perhaps one of the most ancient fruits on this planet. In fact, it has even been suggested that it was a pomegranate apple and not a regular apple in the Adam & Eve biblical narrative. Pomegranates tend to peak in early Winter, so I was completely overjoyed when I found some at the grocery store in…… Continue reading Pomegranate is the Queen of Fruits

When a busy weekday rolls around and you’re looking for a refreshingly quick breakfast idea- look no further. This smoothie is so light in texture it’s actually reminiscent of a sherbet. The real kicker is that it’s made with pure coconut water as the base. Few things in this world hydrate you as well as good old…… Continue reading A Simply Delicious Blueberry & Banana Smoothie

Mango will always and forever bring me back to my childhood. I grew up in a house with a big backyard that was completely littered with mangoes during this time of the year. Interestingly enough, the tree wasn’t ours. It was our neighbor’s. But am pretty certain we scored the majority of the fruit by sheer luck of…… Continue reading Mango, Mint, Pineapple & Kiwi Smoothie
