INSANELY HEALTHY PANCAKES!

Happy Sunday everyone! Who doesn’t want pancakes on the weekend?! Here is (one of) my version below …

1 cup quick oats
1/4 cup ground flax
1 scoop vanilla protein isolate (or powder of choice)
3 eggs - 3 egg whites
1 banana
6 dates
1 tbsp moringa powder
1 tbsp tamarind paste
1/2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
1 tsp aluminum free baking soda
1 tsp Himalayan salt

~Use organic ingredients wherever possible~

Allow eggs to come to room temperature and put in blender. Boil 1/4 cup of water and dissolve/soften dates and tamarind. Add to blender with remaining ingredients. Blend till smooth. Cook over medium heat in a little coconut oil.

These freeze perfectly so you can make a large batch. I have one daily topped with nut butter and a little Manuka honey.

Makes 6 large or 8 small servings.

These taste delicious and they are a nutrition powerhouse to supercharge energy and help you slay your day !!!

ALKALINE VS ACIDIC FOODS…

Disease can only exists in an acidic environment. If your body has a perfectly balanced ph it is impossible to become sick. Creating that perfect balance would require a chemistry degree, a lab and a lot of effort but read below for what you can do.

If body pH is less than 7.35, the body is in a state of "acidosis."

If body pH is more than 7.45, the body is in "alkalosis" or "basic."

The pH range is from zero to 14, with zero being the most acidic, 14 being the most basic, and seven being neutral. In healthy humans, normal body pH is between 7.35 and 7.45, with an average of 7.4.

Eating more foods that are alkaline will balance out the acidic foods that make up the majority, if not all, of the North American diet. The more you consume the healthier you will be. It is that simple. It becomes exceedingly clear why so many people are unhealthy in our society. Meat, sugar, wheat, wine, soda and salt are all extremely acidic. Organic leafy greens, herbs, bell peppers, celery and cucumbers are highly alkaline. You can easily understand that the addition of these foods are like the antidotes for the poisons we love.

This is why food literally is medicine!

Hot cross buns and more ..the historical roots of Easter ..

A part of the pagan celebrations of Ēostre, buns marked with a cross would be baked across pre-Christian Europe to celebrate the springtime goddess. The symbolism of the cross on the bun was said to represent the four seasons as well as the four primary phases of the moon.

Some historians have argued the name derives from a pagan springtime goddess called Ēostre

It's also packed with antioxidants, substances that can protect cells from damage and may boost your immune system.

The art of meditation is accessing the infinite potential within you. That potential lives in the space that exists between your last thought then your next one. Learn to increase that space to access your infinite potential! 🙏🏼⭐️

What do you feel when you read the words “Infinite Possibilities”? I don’t know about you, but my whole body starts to tingle with energy buzzing through me. It feels like I’ve entered a Sci-fi vortex where anything is possible and all the things encumbering me in life fall away. Close your ...

Fall is here and thanksgiving is around the corner (in Canada!). This is definitely going on my menu !!! 🍁

Skip the roasting in this butternut squash soup recipe and let your slow cooker do the work instead. Just load up all the ingredients into the crock pot, set it and forget it for an easy, healthy dinner or packable lunches.

Think of nutrients as the fuel for all of the functions your body is performing simultaneously and without effort. Would you fill a Rolls Royce with diesel fuel? I suppose you could but it’s not going to last long, perform well and you’re going to wreck it. That would crazy ..right ?!? Are you not worth that same consideration??
