I fully admit it. I am one of those Pinterest-touting smoothie bowl fanatics you assume exists online. Where things are a bit different, however, is that my smoothie bowls are always easy, take five minutes of your mornings and are fairly healthy, all things considered. Even better? They ...
With the current uptick in health and wellness as part of the mainstream, vegan, vegetarian, and plant-based diet choices are becoming more popular than ever. This may have positive implications for our planet (hopefully less factory farming) and our health (reducing the over consumption of ...
One thing I learned in studying the yamas and niyamas from the Yoga Sutras in my Pranalife Yoga Teacher Training this past year was to withhold judgment of others. I realized the yamas and niyamas could help me explain my choice to no longer eat meat but might also help me be less judgmental of ...
I am not a food blogger. In fact, when I look at food blogs, I generally skip all the chit-chat and pretty pictures and head straight to the recipe. And even then, I don’t really follow what they tell me to do. I read through the ingredients, see if I have everything that they say I need, omit ...

I recently made up my mind on animal protein consumption, and I finally chose to nix the consumption of meat, even chicken, for at least a while. [Side note: I love cheese and eggs, especially with organic-certified production. I believe it’s possible to have the benefits of animal products if ...
If you love autumn and easy dinners, then there’s no way you won’t adore this recipe. It’s one of my personal favourites. Why? The ingredients are interchangeable, and the strategy can be adapted for loads of other dinners and lunches. Also, it’s easy-peasy. Part of the ...
You can’t become a full-time vegan overnight. Or, you can, but all you will do is tell all your friends and later sneak a piece of cheese (goat cheese amiright?!) It took me a long time to become vegan, and even now I’m only strictly vegan-at-home (it’s an official thing I ...
