LIVE FRIENDLY – EAT FRIENDLY
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 […]
When most people think about pancakes, it’s likely they are thinking of them as a treat or a cheat meal. What if I told you that THIS recipe is definitely a treat, but not a cheat. These Vegan Blender Pancakes can be whipped up in no time at all, are gluten/refined flour free, and refined […]
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 […]
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 […]

What if I told you that chocolate was the healthiest food in the world? Would you believe me? Because it’s true. It has iron, magnesium, copper, a ton of antioxidants, and even fiber. BUT… when I say chocolate I mean real, unprocessed, raw cacao. SAD (Standard American Diet) chocolate like what you would find in […]
What is Nooch Pop? And how do you make it?? It has literally been my obsession lately. I found a local Nooch Pop that is absolutely to die for. I love it so much that I couldn’t pass it in the grocery store without buying it, and then I’d go through the entire bag in […]
There are SO many different variations out there for making energy balls, the majority of which use peanut butter. I’m a peanut butter fan, but I think too much of it may not be the greatest. Peanuts contain a substance called aflatoxin, which may be toxic to our health. There’s some confusion because experts are […]
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 […]
