Every day we struggle to make healthy choices while we’re out and about. The best way to be healthy is to PREPARE your food. We all know this, yet many times we choose to hit the snooze button one more time rendering us without enough time to pack a lunch… Darn! I’ve found some staple…

Green Tea for Me!
While I love my orange pekoe tea and the occasional double double coffee… I know those aren’t the best choices when you want something to drink later in the day (and have already had a cup or two!). I never used to enjoy green tea, however I’ve learned there are many different variations to choose…
One More Post About Insulin
I know that lately it seems like I’ve gone off on a tangent about insulin and blood sugar – but its something that has fascinated me lately as I keep learning more about it. Today during one of my YouTube watching streaks, I came across an amazing Ted-Ed video that explains carbohydrates and their effect…
“B” tired? B12!
I’m often too forgetful to rely on taking any forms of supplements and vitamins, but lately I’ve been making it a priority to take Vitamin B12 on the daily and have noticed a huge difference in my energy levels. Since my last post was about caffeine, I figured I should probably write a post about…
Taste the Rainbow!
I got the idea for this post because its Pride Month! I’ve been seeing rainbows everywhere and it got me thinking about how I could use Pride Month to inspire my blog post. Surprisingly, the colour of your fruits and veggies matters! The brighter – the better! Instead of a boring list, I found this…
Clean Fifteen
If you haven’t already read about the “Dirty Dozen” from my last post, I encourage you to do so before continuing. The “Clean Fifteen” is the annual list of the fruits and vegetables found to have the lowest levels of pesticides on them. These are the items we should be adding more of to our…
The Dirty Dozen
Maybe you’ve heard about this list before, and maybe you haven’t… The “Dirty Dozen” is a yearly list outlining the 12 “dirtiest” produce items. The produce on this list has been found to contain the highest levels of pesticides out of all the produce. It’s a good list to keep in the back of your…
Where can I get more protein?
My last post was all about why you need protein, and how much protein you need. I’m sure it left many of you asking “Well how much am I already getting?” or “Getting that much protein in a day sounds impossible…” I’ve come to realize that many of the foods I eat on a regular basis…
Protein: Not just for bodybuilders!
When I started writing this post, I thought, “I won’t need to list the obvious benefits of protein – everyone knows those”… But then I stopped and thought “maybe people don’t?”. The sad reality is, most people don’t receive any education on food and nutrition, so what might be obvious to me, might not be…
When in doubt, throw it out!!
If you’re like me, you’ve probably made more than one phone call to your mom asking “how long is chicken good for?” Or “can I still eat the cooked beef from a few nights ago?” These are good questions – and if you’re not sure, it’s a good thing you’re questioning it enough to call…
