I was pretty busy in the kitchen today – I made four recipes (this one for you, and three for my cookbook) so I am looking forward to a relaxing evening hanging out with an old friend… and maybe watching Tarzan or Aladdin. Shh… Disney movies are great okay (you cannot argue). Actually, last night I watched Atlantis with my girl friend and it was awesome. Sure, there are plot holes – but what is a plot hole when you get to relive your childhood in technicolour with an original soundtrack!?

I have been eating this all week. It is SO GOOD and so good for you. It reminds me of rice pudding, which I used to love when I was a kid. Chia seeds are excellent at pulling toxins and other junk out of your system, and their texture is magical when you let them sit for a little while in liquid (in this case, spiced almond mylk). They puff up! I think it’s adorable.

This is fast food, and it’s real good food too. If you’ve never had a portobello burger before, your world is about to change. Although if we are being critical, there is never a moment where the world – and by proxy our own individual worlds – isn’t changing. So it’s more realistically a matter of magnitude of change, not change vs. no change. Okay, back to the food. Shrooms are meaty, flavourful, savoury delights.

Oh my goodness gracious garbanzo beans. Make this NOW. You can taste the energy in this recipe, especially because of the sprouts. The sauce brings everything together deliciously with a savoury, sweet and salty flavour; the avocado adds a rich creaminess, the bell pepper gives you that juicy crunch and finally; the cucumber makes it all taste hella fresh.

Let’s talk about granola. This recipe is the bomb! It’s crunchy, flavourful, sweet, healthy and uber easy to make! Seriously, I winged it and it ended up being hippie perfection. You can keep this raw in the dehydrator with buckwheat groats or take it easy and use rolled oats and your oven at a low temperature. I did the latter because when it comes to food, I’m easy. I used to love granola and cereal for breakfast, but when I began gravitating towards a more whole foods-centered diet, out of the cupboard they went since they were full of sugar and other stuff my body just doesn’t need. This recipe satisfies the granola-lover in me without sacrificing my healthy food standards. Try it out, see what ya think.

Raw pumpkin pie recipes are not something that are in my everyday recipe rotation. However, around Halloween or at Thanksgiving or Christmas it’s nice to have a raw pumpkin pie recipe you can turn to for special occasions.

Today I’m soaking up and soaking in the good fortune vibes with a DELICIOUSLY PINK smoothie full of only the best foods for your gorgeous bod.

Remember those rich chocolatey milkshakes you drank as a kid? I loved them! However, typical milkshakes contain high amounts of sugar and fat. Sure they can be tasty, but they are not health promoting! It’s possible to enjoy this childhood treat without all the unnecessary calories, sugar and fat. With some experimenting in the kitchen, I made a super creamy UNmilkshake!
