Tahini, Coconut & Butternut Squash Dip

Dips are such a versatile food. For me, they're a wonderful way to quickly boost the nutrient density of your meal. I always have at least one dip on rotation in my fridge. Whether I want to add a dollop to my dinner, throw together a quick nibbles plate for friends or add another flavour dimension to a weekend toast or burger - it's always great having one on hand. As an added bonus, this one is naturally gluten, grain, dairy and legume-free so its suitable for a wide range

Classic Beetroot Brownie

Am I becoming too used to nutrient dense eating or has the beetroot brownie become somewhat of a classic? The earthiness of the beetroot just melds so well with the bitterness of the cacao and the sweetness of the date. I like to make these using a mini-muffin tin and then freeze them to have on hand when I am looking for a nutrient dense sweet treat. Ingredients: 1 medium beet (roasted, peeled and puréed) 1 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk 2 flax eggs* 3/4 cup coconut

Gluten-free Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Now this may seem like a crazy statement for some, but yes….nutritionists have cravings too!! And over the weekend, I was in serious want of a delicious chocolate chip cookie. Not the oaty, nutty, fruity type (which are still delicious btw), but that real dense, chewy, fatty, chocolate-ly type! You know the ones I’m talking about: the big, round American-style cookies which are crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle? The ones with large chunks of smooth chocolate dotte

Cranberry Oatmeal Cookie Slab

I’ll be honest, this recipe is the result of a strong craving for a cookie/flapjack hybrid. It also had to be quick, fuss free and without much to clean afterwards. Since spooning individual cookies seemed to be far too much effort at the time, I bring you the cookie slab. As a result, I even saved on cleaning a few spoons in the process…bonus! Enjoy! Ingredients: ¾ cup coconut oil 1 cup dates (soaked for 1 hour, drained and blended to a puree) 1 tsp vanilla ½ cup non-dairy m

Simple Healing Bowl with Puy Lentils & Fresh Oregano

Sometimes the perception of healthy ‘detox’ food can be very salad heavy – but this really isn’t the case! Instead, anything that is contributing a high portion of nutrients and fibre, as well as being free from anything that your body is sensitive to, is going to support detoxification. If there happens to be fresh herbs and spices involved, well then, that’s just bonus points! Instead, we should begin to look to every meal as an opportunity to detox! Whether you’re craving

Simple Carrot Cake Muffins

Treats don’t have to be 'bad'! In fact, defining foods as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ is unhealthy for the psyche. While things like cakes, biscuits and chocolate should definitely be a more irregular part of the diet, one shouldn't feel guilty or like they've ‘blown it’ simply because of an occasional indulgence. So let me give you permission, right now, to let go of all that junk guilt and stress you may throw at yourself for eating something perceived as ‘naughty’. True health is so m
