Colourful Palate

Ya’ll know I’ve been a Vega fan for years. It was always my favourite and the most used protein in my cupboards. You also know I’m smoothie obsessed. Ridiculously so. When I was a young teenager I was a raw & vegan…so this was my Continue reading »

Coffee has become a better friend than ever. I’ve adjusted my schedule quite drastically and I now get up outrageously early so that I can go to the gym before my morning classes hit. While this night owl still gets used to getting up while it’s still dark, coffee has become a staple.

Hot or cold, it’s a blessing.

However, currently my favourite way to enjoy it is as a post-workout breakfast…and yes, protein in the shake and whipped cream on top. I’m that girl. Serves 2.

Low Carb Frappuccino

1. 2 cups almond milk, unsweetened
2. 1 tbsp. heavy cream (opt)
3. 8 stevia drops*
4. 1 tbsp. instant coffee
5. 1 scoop of whey protein, unsweetened
6. 1 tray of ice
7. Cinnamon and nutmeg, to taste**

*I used vanilla flavoured NuNaturals – I use this for everything, no joke

**Or you can use these spices just for a pretty dusting on top of the shake

Blend everything in a high speed blender. Pour into two glasses, top with whipped cream (optional for you – necessary for me!) and serve.

This recipe can be made vegan as well, simply omit the cream and use a plant based protein instead of whey.

Are you a coffee fan? What do you like better – hot or cold?

Recently, I was challenged to try a new food. You know all those bloggers that try a new vegetable every week…well, I got stuck in a rut with buying the same groceries over and over and decided to try a culinary adventure and experiment on something that can be prepared Continue reading »

This is my first year in the city during Halloween (yes, former country girl), so this year I’m excited for all the kiddos who may come to the door. And no, I’m not handing out anything healthy. I really don’t think a few sugar binges in a year  can hurt anything.

However, while I might have a few Reeses peanut butter cups, I’m pretty sure that Continue reading »

I’ve been working more on meal prep these days. I’m in a hurry, and my easy, fast recipes keep getting faster. I think cooking/baking should be a relaxed, laid-back experience…and it hasn’t been lately.

However, I’m working on it. I’m trying to literally give myself an hour or Continue reading »

Despite the fact the leaves have turned and it’s turned cold…I cannot release my love for FroYo. Nope. Not happening.

I refuse to say goodbye to the food that is an emblem of sweet summer. Anyway, let’s get real, I love frozen yogurt too much to give it up at any time of the year. My mantra is Continue reading »
