Lately I’ve been really inspired by the healing powers of whole foods. I’ve been surrounded by people who have “healed” themselves naturally through a high intake of fresh foods. This is all a reminder to let go of the processed foods and high acid-forming foods, but increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. It’s...

A couple days ago, I posted a recipe for a lentil salad I made. When making a dish, I usually make extra so that I have it to snack on over the next few days. I had already mixed it in with a bed of mixed greens so I was looking for a different way to...

Not the iceberg lettuce and ranch dressing sort of salad, but a nutrient dense salad that contains many vitamins, minerals and enzymes. This salad uses fresh vegetables and cooked lentils.

In most salad dressings, there is an oil based component and also a pungent flavour. Usually this is in the form of fresh lemon or a variation of vinegar. There are numerous...

I believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It sets our body up with the right energy it needs to carry out all of our daily tasks. A sugary breakfast will result in blood sugar levels that are constantly imbalanced for the rest of the day, while skipping breakfast will confuse...

It’s very important to have snacks that are easy to make which can keep us going throughout the day. This will prevent us reaching for unhealthy things in between our main meals. It is easy to buy dips and sauces that can be used as appetizers, but it’s also easy (and more nutritious) to make them yourself. ...
