    Valentine's Day Protein Pancakes

    Happy Valentines Day, fit fam! Last week, you guys asked me to share my favourite, drool-worthy Mixed Berry Protein Pancake recipes with you. So, I figured that a day as sweet as Valentine’s Day deserved an even sweeter breakfast companion. HOWEVER, I will warn you… whether you’re celebrating today with your one true love or not, I can pretty much guarantee that you’ll have a better time with these Mixed Berry Protein Pancakes. (So, cancel your plans immediately - because the

    Greek Yogurt & Berry Bowl

    Who else has a hard time getting their protein in at breakfast? This morning, I wasn't really feeling like having eggs or a protein shake to get in my protein allotment, so I whipped up this high protein yogurt bowl for breakfast instead. Truthfully, it’s SO important to give your body enough protein throughout the day. Protein takes longer for your body to break down, keeping you fuller & more satisfied for a longer period of time. Studies also show that those who eat a regu

    Mixed Berry Protein Oats

    If you haven’t tried stovetop oats, this is totally a game changer. I used to ALWAYS make my oats using hot water and just waiting for it to cook. It wasn’t until I started adding egg whites (to amp up the protein) that I started using the stove to ensure the eggs were cooked thoroughly - and boy, am I glad I did. The oatmeal comes out so fluffy, creamy and delicious when combined with the egg whites ad slow-cooked on a stove. (Plus, you seriously don’t even taste the eggs!)

    Healthy No-Sugar-Added Banana Bread

    Ah, banana bread… It’s the ultimate comfort food: it’s sweet, warm, and oh-so-comforting. Especially this banana bread. It’s sweet enough just the way it is - without any processed sugar added - because everything used to sweeten this recipe comes from natural ingredients, like maple syrup! That way, not only does it taste delicious, but it’s also filled with lots of good-for-you ingredients that will make you feel amazing from the inside out. Try this recipe out as a sweet b

    Spinach & Goat Cheese Frittata

    Eggs are SO underrated - don’t you think? With so many inventive ways to prepare eggs, you can never really go wrong. Especially ones you bake in the oven with creamy goat cheese, spinach, fresh cherry tomatoes & savoury caramelized onions. Mmm.... This Spinach & Goat Cheese Frittata is such a simple recipe that you can whip up in a flash. It’s high in protein, low in carbs and is so flavourful you’ll be shocked at how low in calories each serving is. You might even opt for t

    Vegetarian Shakshuka (Aka. "Eggs With Sauce")

    Growing up, my mom would always make this dish for us that she called “eggs with sauce”. Because, honestly, that’s all it really was - freshly cracked eggs sitting in a delicious & flavourful tomato sauce, usually served with a bit of bread to soak up all the runny yolk and sauce. As I got older and moved out of my childhood home, “eggs with sauce” became a staple in my diet - it was just so ridiculously easy to make and tasted so amazing! I would introduce my friends to my m

    Morning Glory Protein Breakfast Muffins

    Growing up, I remember seriously disliking the “healthy” muffins they’d sell at coffee shops and bake shops. You know the ones - the Blueberry Bran and Morning Glory Muffins that would be filled to the brim with good-for-you ingredients like nuts, seeds and fibre. Ugh, fibre. I didn’t get the point. To me, a muffin was kinda like a cupcake. By choosing to eat a muffin for breakfast, I was already making the conscious decision to indulge in something sweet and likely unhealthy

    Smoked Salmon Breakfast Tacos

    Who doesn’t love tacos? They’re fun to eat, easy to make and never boring! Speaking of boring… I think I’ve gotta come clean. I’ve been eating relatively the same thing every morning for about a month now: two slices of whole grain toast - one with avocado, the other with smoked salmon and cream cheese - and a cup of scrambled egg whites. Luckily, it’s absolutely delicious, has the perfect balance of protein, carbohydrates & fats and never ceases to satisfy. However, this mor

    Healthy Banana Boats: The Perfect Pre-Workout Snack

    Mmm... who doesn't love a banana split? While this isn't your traditional banana split (let's call them "banana boats" instead), this simple recipe is such a yummy midday or pre-workout snack to help really fuel your body right. Plus, the variety of toppings you could add are practically endless!! NOTE: I always love to wash this down with some cold, blended cashew milk & chocolate protein powder for the PERFECT balance of protein, carbs & fats. See details below! details: →

    Easy High Protein Breakfast Sandwich

    Okay, so I'll be honest here - I absolutely love to sleep in. And luckily (on most days), I can. However, if I have a meeting or another responsibility to get done in the morning and can't find a way to take my breakfast with me, I'm either guaranteed to be late... or my breakfast isn't going to get eaten. Now, I'm NOT a fan of wasting breakfast... but I AM a huge fan of breakfast sandwiches. And since I'm not about to sacrifice my nutrition for convenience, lately these bad

    Easy Protein Crepes Recipe

    Earlier this week, I decided to experiment with my existing Protein Pancake recipe to see if there was an even easier way to make them. (Currently, you have to whip the egg whites before incorporating the rest of the ingredients in order to create that classic, thick & fluffy texture of traditional pancakes.) But sometimes, it’s just not as easy to whip together when you’re running around doing a million other things. And that morning, I wanted easy. I’m talking, “throw-every

    Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes

    As much as I hate to admit that the summer is officially over, one of the things I'm most looking forward to about the Fall is all of the warm, delicious & spicy fall FLAVOURS. From cinnamon to apple pie to pumpkin spice - I just want it all. Speaking of pumpkin spice... I am such a sucker for anything pumpkin-flavoured! Whenever Thanksgiving weekend rolls around, I treat pumpkin spice like they do in those Frank’s Red hot sauce commercials (you know the ones!) - and I just p

    Cinnamon Swirl Protein Pancakes

    The protein pancakes are BACK! I honestly can’t think of a better way to start my Sunday than by pouring myself a hot cup of coffee, cranking up the tunes & making myself some absolutely delicious Cinnamon Swirl Protein Pancakes. Since it’s been such a crazy week, I find that starting my morning with my FAVE breakfast is one of the best ways to set myself up for a positive & productive day.

    Vanilla Protein Chia Pudding

    You already know how obsessed I am with turning delicious breakfast foods into delicious AND healthy breakfast foods - so here we are again with another chia pudding recipe for y'all. Although chia pudding is typically filled with tons of healthy fats (thanks to the Omega 3's found in chia seeds) which are excellent for long-duration energy storage & promote heart and brain health, there isn't quite enough protein in there to help preserve muscle mass, promote muscle growth o

    Today's COLOURFUL breakfast is definitely a new favourite - a warm egg white omelette on ancient spelt toast topped with a sweet & spicy slaw, sliced cherry tomatoes, fresh parsley & lime juice. Sooo fresh, healthy and delicious! Personally, I LOVE adding as many colours to my meals as possible - not only for the health/nutrient benefits, but also because it just looks so damn good!

These Banana Nut Protein Pancakes are a simple, easy and healthy alternative to my classic high-protein pancake recipe. There’s even less fuss (because you don’t even have to whip the egg whites) and - if you’re a big fan of bananas like me - it’s honestly even more delicious! TIP: Try prepping these pancakes in b

    Take a look at the MASSIVE 1-week meal prep I prepared on Tuesday!! Last week, I noticed that I ran out of a LOT of food very quickly and was too busy to do a second prep mid-week. That's why this week, I made sure I had MORE than enough food to work with! (Including lots of leafy greens, fruits & veggies that needed NO prep-work at all.) I ultimately wanted to make sure everything was prepped and ready to go this time around. This prep took me about 3 HOURS total to wash, cu

    How To Eat Healthy Without Tracking Macros

    Hey there fit babes!! (Keep reading for FREE goodies!) One of the biggest struggles I’ve heard from you all when it comes to getting your nutrition in check is whether or not to track calories and macronutrients. There are some of us that absolutely LOVE it - because it gives us a sense of control. TRACKING EVERYTHING allows us know exactly what we’re putting into our bodies, making it easy to feel like we’ve got it allllll figured out. On the other hand, there are many of us

    Low-Carb Egg White & Lox Omelette

    Honestly, smoked salmon is so underrated! It’s a great source of protein, has a lot of healthy fats & Omega-3’s and is just incredibly versatile. It’s great on sandwiches, in salads, or even for breakfast. You guys may not know this, but whenever I’m planning on going out for brunch, the first menu item I ALWAYS look for is Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict with home fries. I don’t know what it is, but it’s just so damn delicious. That melt-in-your-mouth texture of the smoked salmo
