Colourful Palate

You guys know that I have my lemon water ever day. If it’s not drank in plain old warm water, it’s in my green tea. If I’m too hot, I’ll drink it over ice, or put my lemon into my Lemon Meringue Smoothie.

However, lately I’ve gotten back in touch with a drink I used to make a couple summers ago. How have I Continue reading »

I present to you this morning’s breakfast.

Since I prefer to eat a low carb, no sugar life as a whole (lets not lie…sometimes I eat milk chocolate ), I love finding new recipes that allow me to eat “old favourites”. It seems like all the things that give me the Continue reading »

The challenge is almost over. I feel like there is no better way to end it than to share one of the most decadent smoothies (or more truthfully, a milkshake!) I’ve made this whole month.

Have you ever had a Continue reading »

Years ago I used to frequent Booster Juice all the time. It was my favourite place in the world. Now, as I’ve learned more about nutrition and blood sugar/pH, I save most smoothie shops for “treat day”. In the average store-bought smoothie there is a ridiculously high amount of Continue reading »

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.

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 »
