    5 Ways To Add More Greens To Your Diet

    If there's one thing I'm really trying to focus on lately, it's making sure not to forget about my greens! Leafy greens - like spinach, kale, arugula, parsley, cilantro & so much more - are all super low-calorie vegetables that are filled with lots of amazing micronutrients that boost your metabolism and immune system. They also serve as a natural antibiotic, keeping the heart healthy and detoxifying the body! The best way I do this is by adding leafy greens to as many meals

    Egg Whites on Toast w/ Sweet & Spicy Slaw

    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! (Perhaps the expression is true - it IS better to eat with your eyes!) I N G R E D I E N T S:

    Banana Nut Protein Pancakes

    Mmm… the banana-nut combination will ALWAYS be one of my favourites. Whether it’s in muffins, cakes, cookies or pancakes, you can’t go wrong with this killer combo. 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

    1 Week Meal Prep - June 25, 2018

    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

    Happy #MealprepMonday! You guys voted to see a full description of my 4-day meal prep last week, so here it is! I've also written cooking instructions for each of them, including what seasonings/spices I used to flavour everything, too. This prep took me about 3 hours to wash, cut, prepare and cook everything, which is great to do on a Sunday afternoon before you start your week, or you can even squeeze it in on Monday night (like I do) after dinnertime.

    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

    Why Eating Carbs After A Workout Is Actually GOOD For You

    This may look like just another breakfast post, but this gorgeous, high-protein oat bowl is actually my POST-WORKOUT meal. Yes, eating carbs after a workout is actually GOOD for you! Here's why... While you're out there smashing a killer leg workout, your muscles are using up all of your glycogen stores as its primary source of fuel. This results in your muscles being (partially) depleted of glycogen. (To simplify things a little... glycogen = glucose = sugar = carbs.) After

    Rustic Italian Chicken Noodle Soup

    A few weeks ago, I decided to experiment with various styles of Chicken Noodle Soup recipes to try to fight off a virus that was still lingering. (We ALL know that chicken noodle soup is the ULTIMATE comfort food when you’re feeling sick!) Not only were they ALL delicious, but my efforts to nourish myself back to health was surprisingly very effective. Since you guys already loved my Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup recipe, I thought I’d throw this recipe into the mix for you t

    Healthy, Vietnamese-Style Chicken Noodle Soup

    Soup is one of my FAVOURITE things to enjoy whenever I’m feeling under-the-weather, or just in need of a little TLC. My favourite soups are always warm and comforting, while also filled with LOTS of nutrients that help to cure whatever is ailing me from the inside out. When I was feeling sick last weekend, I was NOT in any condition to be cooking for myself. Instead, I ended up ordering the closest thing I could find to a chicken noodle soup from a local Vietnamese restaurant

    4 Ways To Overcome Bad Eating Habits This Summer

    With the weather getting warmer and summer just around the corner, many of us may find ourselves going out and socializing more with friends. However, this can also lead to an increase of all the yummy, calorie-dense foods and sugary drinks that are available and in our reach. Recently, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about how to prepare for situations where previous bad eating habits can tend to easily come back. So, today I wanted to share some helpful tips with my In

    Homemade Chipotle Greek Yogurt Dressing

    Ah... salad bowls. I'll be honest, as soon as the weather starts getting warmer, I start eating salads the size of my face. But seriously - the more colour & volume I can get in per meal, the better! Around this time, I also love getting creative with homemade salad dressings. This one is my homemade Chipotle Greek Yogurt dressing - it's actually higher in protein than pretty much any other nutrient, and filled with only real, healthy & natural ingredients.

    How To Build A Macro Bowl Based On Your Goals

    Wondering how I build my lunches so that I’m not eating the same thing every day, minimizing prep work, but also able to maintain my goals? I always follow the same sort of framework for creating the BEST macro bowls that suit my overall fitness goals. Usually, I’ll prep all of my core ingredients (listed below) in bulk, and then mix and match them whenever I need to create unique & tasty bowl each time. Here are a few tips on how to build your own MACRO BOWL: Pick a leafy GR

    High Protein Yogurt Bowl

    Anyone else have a hard time getting their protein in at breakfast? Whether you’re not a fan of eating egg whites every morning or just can’t do protein shakes - this yogurt bowl is for you. Personally, I think it’s SO important to have at least 25-30g of protein for your first meal of the day. Protein takes longer for your body to break down, keeping you fuller & more satisfied for longer - as well as lowering your glucose and insulin levels. Studies also show that people wh

    Mmmm, cake… I will ALWAYS have a soft spot for cake. A lot of you may not know, but I actually used to bake and sell my cakes to friends & family. From classic Chocolate Hazelnut cakes to giant Cinnamon Roll-inspired coffee cakes (with actual cinnamon rolls piled high on top), the cakes I created were a thing of beauty. Not to mention, I used to work for the Cake Queen herself, Yolanda Gampp, for almost two full years. So, I think it’s safe to say that cake and I have a loooo

That's why I really wanted to create an easy low-carb, high-protein Loaded Nacho-Inspired Egg Whites to celebrate all this amazing stuff happening this week, while still sticking to my cut. (Yes, it's SO possible!!) This baby's got bacon bits, salsa, avocado, and it's even got jalapeños for an extra "kick". Trust me, you won't even miss the nachos here.

    I’m such a firm believer in falling in love with what you’re cooking. Because, if you don’t love what you’re eating, then what’s the point? That’s why I try to incorporate foods and flavours I love into each one of my meals so that I genuinely look forward to my next meal. Plus, it always keeps meal prepping more interesting. One of my favourite things to elevate are salads, and although a cold salad is fine, a warm salad is where it’s at! This chicken is stuffed with goat ch
