Colourful Palate

I’m super looking forward to June, for a lot of reasons. Maybe because summer becomes official. Or one of my best friends is getting married. Or because of the dozens of smoothie recipes I’m excited to try…

…Or maybe it’s because I’m beginning to feel like myself again. I’m finding joy in creation, getting stronger, and learning more about the things I’m interested in. For the first time in almost four months, I did an Continue reading »

It’s almost June…and that means…the Colourful Smoothie Challenge is happening in just a few days! I’m beyond excited!

I think it’s safe to say I have an obvious smoothie obsession…and over three years ago I decided to turn that into an annual contest. Watch my video and get inspired to join in Continue reading »

I am so excited! I have been prepping for this year’s Colourful Smoothie Challenge for a couple months now…and it’s almost here! I’ve had people wondering if I was doing it this year…and this answer is a resounding YES!

I’ve been challenging myself to upping my healthy eating, and decreasing my sugar (or my cheats) drastically. Sunday is usually the day where I allow myself more wiggle room, but for a season I’ve decided to tighten my game a little…and for me that’s sticking to the low carb, no sugar lifestyle Continue reading »

So yes, this may be the third ice-cream recipe I’ve posted in a short time period. I don’t think you’re allowed to judge, but if you want to…that’s okay too. Basically I just really like ice-cream.

This one has a little more fat content, but is a scrumptious, creamy classic. A skeleton for your wildest ice-cream dreams!

 Low Carb Vanilla Ice-Cream

1.  1 cup almond milk, unsweetened
2. 1/2 cup half and half
3. 1/2 cup heavy cream
4. 1/8 classic stevia syrup
5. 1-2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
6. Pinch of pure sea salt

Blend all the ingredients together until smooth. Add to ice-cream maker according to manufacturers instructions.

 *You can use any stevia based sweetener, just add according to taste. I used this NuNaturals simple syrup and I love it.

Try these low carb, sugar free frozen desserts!

• Chocolate ice-cream
• Strawberry frozen yogurt
• Blueberry ice-cream

What’s your go-to, vanilla or chocolate?

Ever since I was small, I’ve had a taste for pickles.

I guess I like vinegar. Pickled onions, dill pickles, salt and vinegar chips…they are one of those flavours that I could be slightly addicted to. Also, while I’m on Continue reading »

Picture this. You’ve had the worst night with your baby. Your mascara is half on your lashes and the rest has settled on the already dark bags under your eyes. The bed has never felt so soft and you never want to leave…but you know should make breakfast.

Then, like magic, someone has entered the room with a breakfast tray with your Continue reading »
