How To Stay SHOCKINGLY HEALTHY When You’re On The Go
I’m buzzing about, getting from point A to point B, a couple of things running through my mind, and I realize I’ve either missed a snack/meal, or am about to. Has this ever happened to you? Occasionally, I let it happen to me. So, what is a vegan Nutritionist to do? I make sure I’m […]
Iron-Boosting (Blood-Building) Latte
This month I’ve been coffee-free, so I’ve loved trying some of the awesome coffee substitutes out there. Occasionally I’ll recommend going caffeine-free to clients, based on how they’re feeling, so I wanted to challenge myself this month to find the best substitutes out there for them. And while I’ve been impressed with some of the […]

They’re also all just great tips to keep in place as natural cold remedies […]
Rosemary & White Bean Dip
I love the metaphor of safe driving in life, and this bean dip recipe came out of it. When you’re driving, it’s so important to look ahead, but not get so lost in what’s ahead that you forget what you’re doing where you are, in this moment. I love that for life, and it’s something […]
Warming Maple Orange Cranberry Sauce

Pierogi Recipe {Vegan, Gluten-Free}
I was SO excited when I first created this pierogi recipe! Sometimes when I’m making a recipe healthier, it takes TONS of trial (and sometimes a few delicious errors) to get it perfect. In this case, though, I swapped out main ingredients for my favourite, reliable switch-outs, and the end result is crispy, filling, cheesy, […]

I recently spoke at The YMCA of Mississauga, and I had a lot of parents ask me for my opinion of Nutella for their growing athletes. Hazelnuts are GREAT and cocoa powder is GREAT! (Their two big marketed ingredients). But the rest […]
