When I first went vegan one of my first purchases was a juicer (and a blender). Before turning vegan I had never tried or drank a green juice, maybe because they weren’t trendy yet or maybe I just never cared for it. I can tell you now that juicing has nothing to do with being vegan.
This is one of my favourite smoothie combinations when I’m craving something filling and very healthy. This is a smoothie you can drink for breakfast, before a workout, or when you need to fuel up for a long day ahead.
As the New Year just begun, I know a lot of people are doing sugar-free cleanses to reset themselves after a holiday full of overindulgence on sugary foods. I know some people are allowed to have the “good” kind of sugar from fruit, however, some of you will avoid fruit, even its just for a couple days.
Oh Fall. How I love thee. As the weather starts getting cooler, I can’t help but crave fall-spiced everything. This easy homemade apple cider recipe is sure to get you in the fall mood and warm up your taste buds.
This smoothie is definitely one of my go-to smoothies any time and day of the week. For weekdays before work I always make myself a smoothie for breakfast and this recipe has been made on average at least 2-3 times a week for the past two years. This smoothie is so quick and easy to whip up it makes for the perfect breakfast when your busy and crunched for time.
Wintertime here in Canada gets pretty cold. Although I have to admit, Toronto is in its own weather bubble and always has way different temperatures from cities even just 30 minutes away. The downtown core gets more brown slush than it does snow and warmer temperatures than its surrounding neighborhoods. I don’t complain; I live in the bubble, I love the bubble. Every time I visit my mom who lives in a town 40 minutes from Toronto, I’m always amazed at the amount of snow and chilliness.
This tonic is inspired by those cold, harsh winter mornings or evenings. This drink warms up not only your cold hands, but also the insides of your body. Each ingredient was carefully selected to collectively make this a powerful, medicinal beverage to give a feeling of well-being.
This juice is amazing in so many different ways. first of all, its only 3 ingredients and super easy to make. Second, do not let its simplicity fool you, the taste is so flavourful and delicious its simplicity at its finest. Third of all, this juice is so healthy, carrots, apples and limes offer so much nutrients and just the right amount of sweetness. Carrots are rich in Vitamin A, which supports eye, skin and bone health, apples phytonutrients help regulate blood sugar, and limes are high in Vitamin C to maintain a healthy immune system.
This is my favourite green juice of all time. It’s subtly sweet from the apples, savory from the spinach and parsley, salty from the celery, light and refreshing from the cucumber, and with just a hint of sour from the lemon.
Most importantly this juice is so healthy and alkaline, hence the name alkalizing green juice. This juice can be consumed on an empty stomach; it will give you tonnes of energy, and make you feel full and satisfied.
