Did you know beets support detoxification? The be

Did you know beets support detoxification? The betalin compound found in beets, which gives them their red color, helps capture toxins and flush them out via your urine.
Beets and their greens are also an excellent source of folate, vitamin A and K, manganese, copper, and potassium. These beauties sure do pack a mighty punch! 💪

Do you like beets? I love them! How do you enjoy making them?

I love to batch boil or roast them and toss them in a hearty salad. The combo below is one of my favourites...

-Kale
-Boiled beets
-Pumpkin seeds
-Hemp hearts
-S&P
-Dried Oregano
-Lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
-Extra virgin olive 0il
-Light drizzle of maple syrup

Perfect as a side or top with your favourite protein and you've got yourself a tasty meal. 😍

What's you favourite kind of cookie? I love chew

What's you favourite kind of cookie?

I love chewy cookies... especially chocolate chunk. 🍪😍

After going dairy and gluten free some years ago I had to get creative with cookie recipes. Took some time to get used to not using butter or wheat flours but after some recipe testing, I realized the less complicated the better.

Today I share with you my eaay-does-it chewy paleo chocolate chunk cookie recipe. All you need are a few simple ingredients, 15 minutes, and your taste buds.

Ingredients
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup cassava flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 large free range egg
1/4 cup avocado oil or coconut oil
2 tbsp Canadian maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
•1/3 cup chocolate chunks or chips of choice

Add all wet ingredients to a mixing bowl. Beat in sugar. Beat in all remaining dry ingredients. Fold in chocolate. Scoop evenly onto baking sheet. Press down slightly. Bake for 9-10 min at 350F.

Makes roughly 9-10 cookies.

Enjoy!

I never imagined at 39 weeks pregnant I'd be up and about making pancakes and other goodies. Where is this energy coming from? 🤷‍♀️

They were pretty easy to make though.😄

These blender pancakes only need a few simple ingredients...

Makes 6-8 pancakes 🥞
-1/2 banana
-1 large egg
-1/3 cup milk of choice
-2 tsp maple syrup
-1 tsp vanilla
-1/2 tsp baking powder
-pinch of salt
-1/4 cup almond flour
-1/3 cup gluten free oat flour

Add all to a blender. Pulse until combined. Pour evenly onto warm greased pan. Flip after a minute. Cook for another minute. Serve with your favourite sides or toppings and enjoy!

If you find the batter a little thin, add 1-2 tbsp additional oat flour.

Happy weekend friends!
