Breakfast might literally be my favourite meal of the day and since I’ve committed to doing Whole 30 this month, finding different ways to cook my favourite foods has been really fun!  It doesn’t get much easier than making a sweet potato hash.  Simply peel your sweet potatoes, shred them up using a greater (making sure to pat them dry to soak up any excess water) then sauté them in a skillet with some coconut oil (or grass-fed butter) along with half an onion.  Boom!  Easy sweet potato hash!

Start your morning off with this thick and creamy Banana Oat Breakfast Smoothie that is healthy, delicious and super quick to make!  It’s also dairy-free and vegan with zero refined sugar! I don’t know about you, but most of us just don’t have the time in the mornings to throw together a healthy breakfast which is why I love to make smoothies!  Fruit smoothies are absolutely delicious, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes you just need to switch things up and enjoy something a little more filling!  This banana oat breakfast smoothie is thick and creamy with such a delicious texture that’s different from your typical smoothie because it’s blended with oats, creamy yogurt and ground flaxseed meal which adds a delicious, nutty flavor to the smoothie as well!

Start simple! Some of the best food any home cook can enjoy is the simplest.

Why Fruits & Vegetables Are So Good for You?

The 2010 U.S. dietary guidelines recommend that all Americans eat more fruits and vegetables as part of a healthy diet. Government guidelines aside, you surely grew up with your mom telling you to eat your vegetables. Or maybe you even hear it now from your doctor.

Fruit and vegetables should be an important part of your daily diet. They are naturally good and contain vitamins and minerals that can help to keep you healthy. They can also help protect against some diseases. Most people will benefit from eating more fruit and vegetables as part of a well-balanced, regular diet and a healthy, active lifestyle. There are many varieties of fruit and vegetables available and many ways to prepare, cook and serve them. You should eat at least five serves of vegetables and two serves of fruit each day. Choose different colours and varieties. A serve of vegetables is about one cup of raw salad vegetables or 1/2 cup of cooked. A serve of fruit is about one medium piece, 2 small pieces of 1 cup canned (no added sugar).

Let’s start off with a quick dietary lesson. Protein is a crucial part of our diet that we cannot afford to miss, whether or not you work out. Protein powder is a great way for us to meet our daily protein intake while feeding our bodies the amino acids it needs to break down and create new cells. You also need to know that there are many different types of protein powders. So instead of picking one at random, Kelly has provided us with some tips and pointers on everything you need to know about your new best friends.

Protein powders are processed foods, made from lots of different ingredients. In their simplest form, they come from milk (whey is a by-product) or egg whites. But vegan and plant-based options also exist, derived from soy, hemp, peas, and more. Protein powders can also contain added sugars, artificial sweeteners and flavours, probiotics, vitamins, and minerals—even additives like caffeine or creatine. So some powders are more processed than others, and some are better for you than others.

Nutrient-rich (or nutrient-dense) foods contain a lot of vitamins and minerals and a few calories. They also are low in sugar, sodium, starches, and bad fats. Your body needs vitamins and minerals, known as micronutrients. They nourish your body and help keep you healthy. They can reduce your risk for chronic diseases.
