Full of nuts and seeds (and plenty of healthy fats!) these Maca Cashew Coconut Trail Mix Bars are a delicious rest stop treat when you’re on a hike (or just in need of a quick and healthy snack!) There is indeed a recipe for these Maca Cashew Coconut Trail Mix Bars below, but if this post […]

With ashwagandha and maca, the’ll help your body adapt to stress while also delivering a hefty dose of antioxidants. Let’s talk adaptogens.

Yes, I’ll say it again. 3 ingredient vegan chocolate. Sounds too good to be true, right? Great news, because it’s literally that simple. Chocoholics rejoice, and helloooooooo antioxidants! You may have observed in recent Sunday posts that I’ve been playing with a few sweet treats lately. While I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, […]
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably been eating tons of root veggies, squash and all sorts of lovely fall produce lately. It seems to be around US Thanksgiving that everything on Pinterest switches from being all-pumpkin-all-the-time, to gingerbread and eggnog-flavoured treats. So with that in mind, I wanted to squeak just oooooooone more pumpkin […]
After having realized how easy it was to make these Pumpkin Pie Spice Almond Butter Cups a couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t resist going for round 2, only this time, testing a more traditional peanut butter cup.

As a kid, I remember only ever being served it in boiled form, and only eating it because my sister and I would smother it in cheese sauce first. It was more of a “would you like some cauliflower with your cheese” […]
If you’ve been hanging around here for any length of time, you’ll know I love to sweat. I’m willing to bet that you do too, and no matter what your favourite way to do it is, you know it’s hard to find anything that delivers a comparable endorphin high. For me, feeling my body move, […]
One of my favourite memories from summers of years past was going to visit my cousins at their house in Ontario. At the time, my family lived in my hometown of Edmonton, and making the trip was something I’d look forward to for months. We spent our days doing all the things that make summer holidays […]
