What’s my go-to breakfast? If you’d been following me on Instagram you’ll likely have noticed it really varies. Some days it’s a satisfying savoury plate of eggs, veggies, greens, etc. Other days is a sweet treat like grain-free pancakes or waffles piled high with berries and whipped coconut cream. Most days however, it’s a big nutrient dense smoothie or smoothie bowl! The recipe I’m sharing here is my usual go-to (although I have other ideas + recipes below)…
Read moreLemon Thyme Arugula Salad with Grilled Asparagus, Avocado, and Kalamata Olives
Simple yet satisfying and seemingly impressive salads are your secret weapon for a successful dinner party (or quiet night at home…that’s cool too). Now the key to a knock-out salad is the dressing, but I’m also a believer in not spending your entire day fiddling over a vinaigrette. This lovely little side dish is elevated by the effortlessly classic combination of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. That’s it! Don’t overthink it, don’t overdue it, let the deliciously nutrient-dense ingredients speak for themselves and you’re all set…

Crisp, creamy, rich and decadent, there’s no question Caesar is the glorious emperor of salads. And there’s no wonder it’s one of the most popular dressings!From a nutritional perspective, there’s nothing really inherently wrong with a traditional Caesar dressing as long as you’re using high quality components...

Valentine’s Day. An oft-deemed “Hallmark holiday” that for many, inflicts feelings of anxiety, profound loneliness, or simply a sense of nausea coupled with give-me-a-break’s and an eye-roll or two. Yes, I understand that the historical significance of Valentine’s Day has been lost on most, or that the socially constructed pressure of one little day in February seems ridiculous, but what if we shifted our paradigm? What if we see February 14th as an invitation to honour and celebrate LOVE...

Read morePower Green Pasta with Sausage and Avocado Basil "Alfredo Sauce"
This dish is an ode to my deep love of green foods, and my arguably bigger (and more complicated) love of pasta-esque dishes. Packed with nutrient-dense low-starch veggies, and healthy fats, this meal is not only a gorgeous emerald vision, but incredibly satisfying without causing those horrible blood sugar spikes and crashes so many spaghetti-centered dishes often do, thanks mostly to the zucchini noodle base...
Read moreRefreshing & Detoxifying Green Smoothie
As soon as spring hits I often find myself seeking out more light and refreshing flavours. But not surprisingly many of the things my mouth is craving are also ingredients my body is physiologically yearning for. After the slow pace of winter, it’s very common for our bodies to awaken with a sense of excitement and energy. During this process, our bodies are also naturally ramping up their detoxification channels to shed the accumulated gunk of the winter, and prime themselves for springtime vitality! While our bodies have a number of mechanisms in place to “clean house” on their own, it’s always nice to give them a little boost...
Read moreOne-Minute Mousse
Raw, vegan-friendly, and seriously satisfying, this creamy “mousse” is packed with an amazing variety of healthy fats, and the only added sweetener is a very small amount of raw honey so it won’t send your blood sugar levels through the roof (something we should ALL always be striving for). Plus, it only takes 1 minute to make...
