I first learned about Meghan in 2009 with her first tutorial, the Green Smoothie Cleanse! I made 3 green smoothies a day for 3 days with Meghan and learned more about real nutrition during that week than I had in my entire life. I blogged about my experience and I can honestly say it changed my life.

Hormones are like blueberry pancakes.
Like blueberry pancakes, hormones get made in one part of the body and their influence affects the whole body, um, like pancakes… When you make pancakes in the kitchen, your whole house is going to smell like pancakes and everyone in the house is going to want to eat your pancakes- especially if you use this recipe.
Pancakes can take over every craving you just like hormones can interfere in every thought, craving, metabolic function and mood.

We know what spring time means. It means longer days, warmer weather and that every lamp post in my young urban hippie neighbourhood becomes plastered with signs for boot camp classes. Last week I received an email with the subject line “Get In To Your Skinny Jeans This Spring”, and I thought, Hmmm. No. This booty and my five foot tall self wasn’t intended to wear skinny jeans so why on earth would I torture myself for six weeks, so that I might fit into them briefly until my body goes back to the size and shape it likes best, which is exactly how it is right now.

They don’t call them superfoods for nothing. They really are amazing. The coconuts and the aloe, the goji and the spirulina. Now I’ll be the first to admit that I am not ready to give up my stove, exclusively in favour of consuming every super-powered meals out of my VitaMix. Not there yet, and may [...]

How do you know when a nutritionist came from a career in advertising? When even her flour jars are branded. Here’s another one for you – When is a flour not a flour? When it is made from crazy super high protein and fibre stuff like quinoa and chickpeas. My girlfriend Macy was coming for [...]

Yes! Sardine Fritters. Now, if you go the way of strict vegan, I am sure there is nothing more repulsive to you than the thought of wee little fish all lined up in a row, squeezed into that little tin. I might even concur if I didn’t know how amazingly healthful these little guys are. I am not a massive fish fan. I started eating it again after the voice inside my head (that sounds an awful lot like Josh) thought I might do well with some lean protein. Hello sardines! The reason I don’t eat fish so much is mainly because eating fish is a complicated matter. Do we eat fish that are low risk to our health, but potentially over fished or worse, farmed? Or do we eat fish that are low risk to the environment but carry a high toxic load that will be high risk to our health? See… isn’t a pot of lentils just simpler?

I could go on and on about the benefits of raw cacao but I still don’t think I would do it justice. Now don’t go confusing raw cacao with roasted cocoa. Different my friends- mainly because one is raw. It seems that roasting or cooking chocolate excites the nervous system, speeding up the pulse similar to the effects caused by black coffee. Raw cacao however doesn’t do this.
Now my recipe uses a whole heaping load of super foods that may be hard to find. Not to worry. Chocolate is the main event, the rest are just power house encores.

In the winter time, there is nothing more warming and filling to start your day off than hot off the stove cooked oatmeal. Come summer, however, the thought of eating that warm mush just isn’t rocking my world so much. I often go for super powered smoothies, the water and meat of one young coconut [...]
