🥑Dreaming of avocado sandwiches🥑 I first heard of @wildoat_bakeryfarm from friends who had had amazing meals there but it wasn't until I saw @gabyeatsottawa feed that I knew I had to go! I mean look at this sandwich!! 😍 It's calling to me 😂 If you haven't been to Wild Oat yet, you're missing out! All of their breads are baked in house and almost all of their produce and ingredients are made from their own farm fields ✨ you can taste the quality of their produce! ⭐ Black bean and sundried tomato spread with fresh greens, tomatoes, avocado and red onion all on fresh baked bread 🤤🤤 excuse me as I drool lol 🤣 Just as an FYI, this sandwich is only served at lunch time so plan your visit accordingly!✨ Bon Appetite 🙏🏻 — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2RWedy7

✨Door step surprise!✨ Home from work to our shipment from Goodfood 🙌🏻 I was really hesitant about signing up but I am glad I did. It's a huge time saver and with both of us working full time with activities every night after work we need all the time saved that we can 😄 It also cuts out the dreaded “what should we have for dinner tonight?" question 🤪 Each box comes with every ingredient you'll need for the week along with three easy gourmet recipes ✨ for example last week we had Gnocchi in Brodo di Parmigiano with Sautéed Kale & Sugar Snap Peas 🤩 So declious! All the ingredients are fresh and for the most part are farm to plate! skipping out the middle man and a LOT of wasted food 🙌🏻🙌🏻 If you're interested in trying it out yourself I have three coupons for three free meals (up to $78 - PM me) or you can follow the link below https://ift.tt/2NJ8wQI ✨It's been a great addition to our busy lifestyle 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️✨ Bon Appetite 🙏🏻 — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2pSQKkv

✨Tumeric Golden Mylk✨ I usually try at least once a week to drink a cup of warm golden mylk ✨ It's made from tumeric, pepper, ginger and ashwagandha... so pretty much everything that's healthy for you 😄 Golden Mylk (mylk and not milk because its made from a base of unsweetened almond mylk) is a wonder drink in that it invigorates your metabolism, increases digestive function and combats inflammation (i.e. old age aches and pains 😅) ✨ it's also safe to consume during pregnancy and helps with bloating and nausea 🙌🏻 I buy mine pre-mixed but you can always make your own if you're feeling adventurous ✨ Bon Appetite ❤️ — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2NIx0db

TGIF!! 🙌🏻 How come short weeks always feel the longest? 😅 Well no matter now, because it's Friday! ✨ and on Fridays I always give myself a little treat to celebrate the coming weekend ✨ It doesn't seem to matter the temperature, I love having vegan ice cream ❤️ Thankfully there are so many places in Ottawa to grab some!✨@mooshuicecream is one my new favourite places because they not only offer vegan selections but also beacause all of their flavours come from the local area and are made from fresh fruits and vegetables ✨ Right now the local flavours in house are lime leaf & fresh mint as well as local strawberry and ginger vanilla bean!! ✨ If those don't appeal to you, then the vegan chocolate or froot loops cereal milk definitely will 😄 Treat yourself tonight! You deserve it 🙌🏻 Bon Appetite 🤗 — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2OWn2JJ

Mad Radish Crush 😍😍 Look at how gorgeous the Harvest Salad Bowl is from @eatmadradish and @vegan.bowls.ottawa !! It's made from a bed of mixed greens, quinoa, roasted sweet potato, cranberries, candied walnuts, cashew cheese & maple mustard dressing ✨ If you're looking for a non-vegan topping you can switch out the cashew cheese for feta or blue cheese, although I bet you'd really enjoy the cashew option! 😊 Big autum salads are my favourite as I get to throw in so many of the gorgeous fall vegetables that are currently in season such as squash, sweet potato, turnip, carrots, beets & pumpkin ✨ other amazing toppings you can use this time of year include apples, pears, pecans and figs!! ✨ Delicious ❤️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #foodporn #foodie #foodgasm #foodpic #foodphotography #foodlogger #healthy #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #vegan #veganfood #veganlife #healthyeating #healthyrecipes #fitnessfood #fitness #motivation #foodmania #veganeats  #yummy #delicious #instafood #salad #fall #healthydinner #photooftheday #delicious #dinner — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2Eh6x6S

✨Salad pizza!! ✨ I have been slowly adding dairy, eggs and meat protein into my diet while pregnant and its been a bit of a challenge... 🤪 First off because I haven't eaten it in almost two years and what went down came right back up 🤢 But my baby needs it so I have persisted and I've been finally able to do eggs, chicken and for the first time in 2 and 1/2 years turkey 🦃 Thankfully I still love my vegan meals and this includes fresh baked salad pizza 🙌🏻✨ My basic herbed pizza dough recipe (because you've got to have herbed crust!!) is from @bobbyflay and it's simple and turns out fantastic everytime. INGREDIENTS: 1/2 to 4 cups bread flour, plus more for rolling 1 Tbsp Herbs de Provence 1 teaspoon sugar 1 envelope instant dry yeast 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 1/2 cups water, 110 degrees F 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 2 teaspoons DIRECTIONS: 1.Combine the bread flour, herbs de provence, sugar, yeast and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and combine. While the mixer is running, add the water and 2 tablespoons of the oil and beat until the dough forms into a ball. If the dough is sticky, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a solid ball. If the dough is too dry, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball. 2.Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, add the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a warm area to let it double in size, about 1 hour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Cover each with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rest for 10 minutes. 3.Once you are ready to make your pizza, roll out your dough onto a floured surface and bake 400F for 7-9 mins until golden brown colouring. Make sure your paying attention to your dough as its the star of the show. 4.To assemble, drizzle olive oil on the crust and top with your favourite vegetables or other ingredients such as artichoke hearts, avocado, red onion, baby greens, tomatoes and for extra flavour balsamic glaze ✨ Bon Appetite 🙌🏻 — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2OLN56k

✨Chocolate Crunch Energy Balls✨ Since becoming pregnant I find that I am hungry ALL the time 😏 and while it's easy to endulge in all those declisous snacks and treats that are close at hand, I wanted to find a better and healthier solution ✨ I stumbled upon Peta's @nourishingsoulfully chocolate energy balls that have a surprise crunchy ingredient.. Popcorn! 🤤😆 I love popcorn but I try to stay away from it due to its low nutritional value. So this is the best combo - healthy energy snack balls with a slight popcorn crunch 😊😊 Thanks to Peta for this great recipe. Check our her blog at nourishingsoulfully.com INGREDIENTS: 150g raw cashew nuts 100g sultanas 1 tbsp of coconut sugar 1 tbsp of coconut oil 1 tsp of ground ginger 1 bag of microwave popcorn 2 tbsp of pure cacao powder 4 tbsp of honey DIRECTIONS: 1. In a saucepan mix 150g of cashew nuts, 100g of sultanas, 1 tbsp of coconut sugar, 1 tbsp of coconut oil and 1 tsp of ground ginger on a very low heat. 2. Pop the popcorn in the microwave for the recommended time. 3. Once the popcorn has popped remove from the microwave and pour into a large bowl. 4. In a food processor place the cashew nut mixture along with the popcorn. Be sure to carefully pick the popcorn out and not to add any unpopped kernels!! 5. Add 2 tbsp of pure cacao powder and mix very thoroughly in the food processor. 6.Once thoroughly mixed add 4 tbsp of honey. 7. When a very large doughy consistency has formed, roll by hand into little balls. Will keep in the fridge for 1 week (if you can resist them for that long 😆) Bon Appetite 🙌🏻 #foodporn #foodie #foodgasm #foodpic #foodphotography #foodlogger #healthy #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #vegan #veganfood #veganlife #healthyeating #healthyrecipes #fitnessfood #fitness #motivation #foodmania #veganeats #yummy #delicious #instafood. #vegansnack #energyballs #fitnesssnack #pregnancycravings #instafood #snack #chocolate — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2CwTf4n

No makeup, dirty hair, sweaty skin and loving it 😄 I love the glow you get after an amazing yoga workout. You feel so refreshed and light hearted even when looking like a sweaty mess😁 if you haven't been to yoga before or if it's been awhile since you gave yourself some "me time", you've got to do it. Trust me, you'll feel so beautiful inside and out afterwards 👏❤ . . . . . . . . . . #vegancommunity #motivation #ottawalife #ottawalifestyle #yogachallenge #yogachallenges #yogastretch #flexible #fit #health #yogaeveryday #relax #inspiration #fitnessmotivation #fitnessgirl #fitnessmodel #yogainspiration #yogagram #instapics #picoftheday #poseoftheday #pose #yogapose #yogalove #education #canada #yogaclass #yogi #yogateach #learn — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2Lk1MYi
