Smoothie Bowl Obsession

11/6/2017

Ya ... I'm completely obsessed ...

Ok, so lately I'm completely obsessed with smoothie bowls. Ya, I know, they are a thing of the past and everybody has been making them like forever! But, not me. I have only just recently gotten into the swing of smoothie bowls and let me tell you .... I'm obsessed!

Now, I make them a million ways, but here is one of my favourites:

Blueberry Crunch!

Simply blend about 2 cups of organic wild blueberries, 2 ripe bananas, 3 Medjool dates and 5 large handfuls of baby spinach in your high-powered blender with just enough water to get it blending. I don't measure the water, but I would say start with 1 cup and see how it goes. If you add too much water your smoothie bowl will be too runny; so start with less. You may want to use the tamper tool to help with blending.

Then pour this lovely blueish mixture into a bowl of your liking. Then top with your favourite toppings; for me that means: organic dried white mulberries, sprouted ground flax, dried coconut shavings, fresh blueberries and a lot of love!

Enjoy!

GET 10!

6/28/2016

Start getting 10 fruits and veggies in your body today ... and start feeling bright and alive!

If you haven't heard ... I'm dedicating the month of June to children's health all over the world! To inspire as many kids as possible (and parents), I've been uploading daily videos on Youtube to get the message out. Nowadays, kids are far too deficient in essential vitamins and minerals. It is so common that being unhealthy has become the norm. For me, it's very sad to see the state of the world today - to see how far we've strayed from nature and the consequences of our choices.

So ... I've decided to be the change I'd like to see in the world! To try to inspire as many people as I can to fill their bodies with fruits and vegetables (at least 10 daily) and to see how they feel after 30 days of such a lifestyle. Kids are my biggest concern because they are our future and the future of our planet. Change kids' views, and change the world - is my motto.

Here's to making eating the rainbow "cool"!

Good luck and get 10!

Raw Vegan Black Forest Cake! Wow!

5/3/2016

Had to share this divine dessert!

I made this incredible raw vegan dessert the other day and just had to share it with anyone interested in having their cake and eating it too! This cake is truly that. Made only from nuts and fruit, you really can enjoy your dessert guilt free with this recipe! What I love most about this dessert is how incredibly similar it looks and tastes to the real thing. Traditional Black Forest Cake is made with white flour, sugar, eggs, butter, heavy cream, canned cherries (packed in syrup) and chocolate. My version is incredibly healthy and literally a super food when you consider how nutritionally dense the ingredients are individually and more so when combined in one meal. You can have a slice of this cake for breakfast and really kick start your day. Let your kids eat this dessert and enjoy seconds, without a concern for their health. Loaded with essential fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals, my version of this classic dessert is made with:

walnuts
cashews
dates
cherries
blackberries
blueberries
carob
coconut
Celtic sea salt

That's it.

The Power of Blue Green Sea Algae!

4/24/2016

Make a blue green smoothie that will knock your socks off! Think BLUE GREEN!

What you see in the picture above is lovely and pure blue green sea algae shown under water. To the left, a lovely green smoothie made with leafy greens, sweet fruit and blue green sea algae. In my humble opinion, blue green sea algae is the most nutrient dense food for humans that exists on planet Earth! Put simply -- it's perfect food. Why, you ask? Well, algae has all the nutrients you need to survive and thrive, including:

• Vitamin A (as beta-carotene), C and E
• All B vitamins
• Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Potassium, and other minerals
• Omega 3’s and other essential fatty acids
• Nucleic Acid (RNA & DNA)
• Mucopolysaccharides

What's more, blue green sea alge also:

• Increases the production of healthy bacteria by up to 300%
• Detoxifies organs and the blood
• Improves digestion
• Increases energy levels
• Strengthens the immune system

Need I say more?

Lately my husband and I have been adding a variety of this lovely super food - spirulina - to our daily green smoothie and we feel awesome! Here's my favourite BLUE GREEN SMOOTHIE lately ... featuring the blue green sea algae, spirulina!

Gorgeous Beet Burgers!

4/5/2016

Sink your teeth into these bloody BEET burgers!

For fun, I wanted to make a raw vegan burger that kinda looked like the real thing ... just to get a reaction from my kids. This recipe did exactly that. My girls loved the deep reddish pink colour of these burgers and the taste, well, let me tell you, they are out of this world! Made from raw beets, celery, various seeds and seasoning, it just doesn't get any simpler than that.

Try 'em here ...

Chocolate Sesame Seed Milk

3/28/2016

Lovely chocolaty sesame seed milk ...

I made this lovely chocolaty milk tonight for my kids, and WOW, it was so delicious I just had to share.

Lately, I've been trying to create calcium rich recipes for my family to boost our calcium intake and to ensure overall health and vitality. Vitamins are easier to get on a raw vegan and vegan diet, but getting the proper amounts of minerals and trace minerals can be difficult if one doesn't do a little research and take the time to plan meals.

This recipe is a calcium and iron rich recipe that you and your family will love ... I'm sure of it! Get it here ...

Cancer Demystified

3/9/2016

Look to living plant food to heal the body ...

Most of us don't like to think about cancer, let alone talk about it. Yet, in the back of our minds, we're all wondering: Will I get cancer? Will it happent to me? It's a frightening topic for most of us. The fear stems from an overwhelming feeling of loss of control and of the unknown. Many, if not most of us, do not really know what cancer is, except that we have been told by the medical industry that cancer is something that happens to us, something we cannot control, and something that can ultimately lead to our hastened death.

I, on the other hand, prefer to view cancer as a gift - as Dr. Thomas Lodi, of An Oasis of Healing, Alternative Cancer Treatment Centre, says, "cancer is a Divine tap on the shoulder by God just saying, this path's a little shorter than you would like - it's our body's extraordinary effort to save our lives - it's a beautiful thing". Watch Dr. Lodi explain his view here. I would take it a step farther and say that this is the case for all human disease or sickness. The Divine creator is saying that what we've been doing thus far, the choices we've made and the lifestyle we partake in, is not working and that something has to change! Cancer (and all disease) is not something that happens to us or something we had absolutely nothing to do with, but something we created ourselves by making the wrong choices. These "wrong" choices all began with our stray from nature. The farther we strayed, the sicker we got. The opposite is also true - get close to nature and YOU WILL HEAL YOURSELF! ...

Raw Vegan 'Meatloaf'

1/13/2016

Wow! This one's a great one!

I made this recipe the other night and it was so successful and tasty, I just had to share. I am calling this recipe "Raw Vegan Seedloaf" simply because one of the main ingredients in the patty is sunflower seeds.

If you are raw vegan and wanting to eat something that's a little heartier or substantial (perhaps you've done an intense workout and are craving food higher in protein and fat, or maybe you're pregnant and dealing with "old" cravings, etc.), this recipe is for you! If you are not raw vegan but trying to transition towards a high raw plant diet, this can serve as a transitional meal.

Here it goes ...
