What’s your favorite thing about the Fall? Mine has got to be watching the leaves turn. I absolutely love seeing red/orange/auburn tree tops everywhere. And then from one day to the next, in an almost ephemeral fashion; it all turns fiery red or goes completely gold. Or both. I very vividly remember my first fall in…… Continue reading Fall in a Glass: Healthy & Delicious Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
This is the stuff that smoothie dreams are made of; ultimate nutrition that tastes like dessert. If you enjoyed my “Raw Blueberry Cheesecake” recipe (April archives) or look for it under “Desserts”- you will absolutely love this drink. It’s not overly dense, just the right amount of sweetness & tastes like well, raw cheesecake. I had…… Continue reading Raw Blueberry Cheesecake Cashew Smoothie
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
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
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!
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
