Spiced Pear and Apple Protein Smoothie

I wanted to share with you a wonderful protein smoothie because it’s a light and refreshing snack, perfect for a warm summers day.

As you peel the fruit, make sure you eat the skin because it’s also packed with added nutrition and fibre. Because this is a raw food snack packed with a healthy balance of protein and carbohydrates, you will get a huge healthy pick me up from drinking this once or twice a week.

It also contains no added sugar, is gluten free, has no trans fats and is non GMO.

It’s almost as if you’d gone to the farm to collect it […]

How to Eat Healthy on a Budget

This is a question that comes up a lot and I am a big advocate for how to eat healthy on a budget because I know from personal experience that it can be done.

How to Reduce Body Fat

I get asked by women all the time why they aren’t able to reduce body fat despite doing regular exercise.

My response goes like this…

Your diet is one of the most important factors in reducing body fat. If your diet is out of whack then it simply doesn’t matter how much you exercise; you will NOT get the fat burning results you want to see.

Did you know that an average cheese burger has between 250 to 350 calories; that’s without any added extras like fries and soda! You could probably consume way over 1000 calories in 1 meal!

Did you also know that it would take you at least an hour doing laps in a pool and an hour running on a treadmill to burn off those 1000 calories? So that’s 2 hours of full […]
