I love beets for so many reasons, especially around Valentine’s Day! The best part about it is the colour! It adds such a vibrant pink colour to all dishes, from smoothies to entrees to desserts. Chemical free! Are beets healthy? YES! Let’s talk health. Seeing as now more than ever we need to focus on […]
What can I use instead of egg for my omelette? There are several egg replacers out there now. Being plant-based/vegan is much easier now than it was ten years ago. There are SO many options now for everything, including egg replacers that you can buy in a carton and fix yourself up some delicious omelettes. […]
I have a thing for waffles. And I have a thing for hearts (Check out my Instagram for my Hearts stories highlight!) So you better believe I’m going to make a recipe for pink Valentine’s Day themed waffles. I’m sure there are many questions floating around as to how you make pink vegan waffles! […]
You see them everywhere and they are here to stay. Little balls of energy are everyone’s favourite for a quick and healthy snack. The best part about these is just HOW easy they are to make. Just whip them up in a food processor (or blender) and voila. I LOVE these Protein Energy Bites because […]

This is probably the easiest recipe on the blog so far. All it takes is mixing ingredients, waiting overnight, and VOILA! The great thing about chia pudding is it’s versatility. After making this recipe, I wasn’t sure whether to call it breakfast, dessert, or a snack. So, I will leave that choice up to you […]
Anything you can make, I can make vegan. This has been my motto lately. There is honestly nothing that can’t be veganized. The problem with ‘veganizing’, though, is that trying too hard to turn a food vegan, generally means that you are moving away from a whole food plant-based diet. And a predominately WFPB diet […]
WHAT ARE GROATS?? I’m guessing mostly everyone has heard of Buckwheat. Maybe just from the movie The Little Rascals? Buckwheat Groats are the seeds from a buckwheat plant! And yes, buckwheat is a seed, and not actually ‘wheat’. Confusing, right? IS BUCKWHEAT HEALTHY? Absolutely. I wouldn’t have a blog post dedicated to it if it […]
There are about a gazillion banana bread recipes out there. You really can’t go wrong with most of them. Bananas give baked goods an extra level of sweetness, moistness, and yummy goodness. I’ve been focusing on zero/less waste a lot lately, so this is a great recipe to make when you have over-ripe bananas laying […]
Let’s talk research studies. Many scientific experiments have proven over a very long time that animal proteins are associated with an increased risk of several different types of diseases. It’s still mind blowing to me that people are not made more aware of the research findings but that’s a whole other story! Eggs have a […]
