Wellness. Yoga. Real Life
I don't own a juicer, but that doesn't mean I can't have fresh green juice anytime I want! Making green juice in a blender is really easy (it just requires an extra step - straining through a nut-milk or jam making bag to separate the pulp from the liquid). I make a batch of this [...]

Be sure to check out the Recipe Notes at the bottom, and let me know what you think of them 🙂 Healthy-ish Nanaimo Bars, the [...]
I only recently started making my own almond butter, but it has been a total game changer for me. I found that store-bought almond butters were SUPER expensive, and because I only ever used a small amount at a time, I always had that hard paste-like stuff at the bottom of the jar and the [...]

Dairy-free milks are coming in hot and fast these days and I like it!! This is my recipe for super easy and delicious hemp milk. It's made with, you guessed it, hemp hearts. Hemp hearts are little powerhouses. They are a complete protein and contain omegas 3 and 6 plus other amazing nutrients like iron, magnesium [...]

Alternative milks are all the rage these days, as most people have decided to give up on cow's dairy (for some pretty good reasons!) I stopped drinking cow's milk over 10 years ago... when it became very apparent that I was lactose intolerant. There are a ton of varieties of almond milk to choose from [...]
OK, first of all, what is spelt? Spelt is an ancient grain (going back at least 7,000 years) that has made a bit of a comeback recently. Spelt flour has become a popular option for people looking for flour alternatives to refined, all-purpose white flour. Spelt does contain gluten, but it is easier to digest [...]
