My husband and daughter can both live on energy balls, they absolutely love that snack and if it’s available in the refrigerator, they will eat them whenever they need to feed themselves. My daughter will sometimes eat them for both her snacks and her meals...
Tahini is a fashionable food these days and if you scroll Instagram for inspiration, you will definitely come by many posts that feature foods made with tahini. I actually started eating tahini 10 years ago while doing an elimination diet and because I was left...
If you follow me on social media, you may have noticed that I use a lot of coconut milk when I make smoothies, chia puddings, golden milk, or even any recipe that requires plant based milk. It's actually my favorite type of milk. Usually, I'll...
You might have noticed that I often make recipes that feature hazelnuts, that’s because I love them! When I was younger, I lived in a health conscious house and I didn’t have access to Nutella, hardly ever. And I dreamed of eating it, I thought...
My husband is doing a cleanse or an elimination diet and he’s currently not eating dairy, gluten or refined sugar. He usually always wants me to add chocolate chips to everything and now, all of a sudden, he’s looking for treats and snacks that don’t...
This recipe is a combination of a delicious oatmeal bake and a dessert pudding. It’s moist, soft, and comforting, and because it uses very ripe bananas, it’s also sweet like a dessert even though there is no added sugar. I do LOVE the result so...
This granola is so fragrant, it is a hazelnut lover’s dream! It’s also very sweet therefore a little goes a long way and it makes the perfect addition to smoothie bowls, oatmeal, yogurt parfaits, chia puddings and even ice cream sundaes. It is sweet but...
It always amazes me how creamy a sauce or custard can become without any use of milk, cream or eggs. Soaked cashews blended with coconut milk or another liquid will produce an amazing silky cream. Cashews are also very versatile and they do well in...
Did you know that buckwheat is not technically a grain? It is a seed that is not related to wheat despite its name. We use it as a cereal however and it is delicious in both sweet and savory recipes. We can use it in...
These muffins are easy to make and they are festive with their red cranberries as well as their citrus flavor. Since they are made from almond flour and eggs, they have a high protein content and can be delicious for breakfast as they will sustain you. When...

Hummus is such a versatile spread and I love using it to enhance any meal. Throw in some avocado and cilantro and to me it becomes a decadent treat. I love making homemade hummus because I can choose to add no oil since tahini and...
Cauliflower is very popular these days. From cauliflower rice to cauliflower pizza, it serves as this magical ingredient that helps transform heavier recipes into lighter ones. And adding vegetables is always a good way to add nutrients. Adding it to smoothies is a surprising way...
Call it a healthy breakfast or call it a decadent dessert, I think both descriptions are correct. This delicious mousse or smoothie is made with hormone balancing healthy fats and fiber. It is easy to whip up, it is low sugar, free of gluten and...
This drink is very popular these days but if you are not used to spicy beverages, you might find it strange. To me, it is surprisingly comforting and warming. It’s also a filling drink that I like taking as a snack itself, therefore no snack...
These are my favorite cookies. I like making them and keeping them in the freezer for easy access. I like that they taste yummy but are paleo friendly, gluten-free, and vegan. They are a good snack option that is low sugar, and high nutrient. I...
I love nachos! I love guacamole! I love salsa! But my body doesn’t love it when I indulge in a plate of traditional nachos. Maybe it’s because I can’t stop myself, maybe it’s because the traditional dish is oily, cheesy and just plain heavy. But...
These are delicious squares that can be made for dessert if you keep the original quantities of honey and chocolate but I like to make them with little honey and still quite a bit of dark chocolate and they become healthy protein snacks. It’s good...
This type of jam has been popular in the last few years but I had never tried it because to me, jam contains to much added sugar. But then I thought with the holidays and all how pretty it would be to actually add bright...
