Looking for a nourishing and quick breakfast which is not a smoothie? I really enjoy this dense, nutritious cereal. The healthy fats and fibre really help to keep you feeling full and satisfied for hours. This particular combination of ingredients is exceptionally heart and brain healthy. We...
We enjoyed this recipe recently and hope you do, too. Asparagus and beets are nutrient-dense and full of flavour. The addition of hemp seeds and cashews increases healthy fats and protein. Asparagus gets a 5-star rating for: fibre folate vitamins A, C, E, K chromium glutathione...
As some of you may know, I love the idea of fermented food, but am a little troubled about the whole DIY movement when it comes to fermented food. Where is the line, if there is one, between something being fermented vs simply being rotten?...
This time of year in particular, has me reaching for this warming, deeply nourishing tea. I love this blend of spices, citrus, and, of course, raw honey. Turmeric is perhaps the current darling in the spice world. It contains potent, anti-inflammatory properties among other benefits. The main active ingredient...
In addition to satisfying my sweet tooth (sigh), I was highly motivated to make use of walnuts. There's this idea that things in nature that resemble parts of the human body are extremely nourishing to said body part. Walnuts are a perfect example. What does a...
These were so easy and delicious! I'm a snacker. If I don't have healthy snacks lurking in every corner of my home, I'm in trouble. I will reach for the worst possible thing if healthy options are not "good to go". If you're ever missing a...

Who doesn't like pink lemonade? No need to settle for yucky chemical-heavy commercial products, when you can get a quick and nutrient-dense version yourself. Beet powder is a fantastic staple to have on hand. It can greatly boost the nutrient quality while at the same time...
Raw, nut-free Golden Goji Bites I know how challenging it can be to send healthy snacks off to school that are nut-free. Given the alarming rate of serious nut allergies, this is not something to be taken lightly. Happy with the overall result of the Golden Goji...
I love experimenting in the kitchen, coming up with easy (MUST be easy) and nutritious recipes that hopefully taste good (my team of critics can be harsh)! I'm often searching for healthy snacks to add to lunches for myself and family. Most "prepared" snacks are just...
My boys in particular are (mostly) generous when I recruit them for taste testing. Several members of Dan's basketball team got roped into tasting this one. I'm not sure if they were overly polite as they were counting on a drive back to the gym, really hungry or...
Inspired by the remarkable Kris Carr, I tried out her recipe for granola. I made a few adjustments to the recipe, and am really happy with the results. Tasty, crispy, nutritious and super quick to make! It has quickly become a family favourite! Super Easy Granola 2...
