If there’s one thing our plant-based family loves, it’s HUMMUS. We go through mountains of hummus in our household, so I always make it myself to ensure that it contains organic, high quality ingredients (store-bought hummus often contains GMO canola or other unhealthy oils). A while back I started adding fresh rosemary to our hummus…

Raw Vegan Chocolate Mint Brownie Bites
Who doesn’t love mint and chocolate together? These no-bake brownie bites are a delicious spin on the raw vegan brownies I’ve been making for years. For the mint flavour, I added a couple of drops of doTERRA peppermint oil for a decadent treat with all the benefits of this invigorating plant essence (peppermint reduces gas,…
Raw Vegan Fudge Recipe
Dearest friends, I have very exciting news… FUDGE CAN BE HEALTHY!!! OK, well maybe not “healthy” per se, but definitely healthier than that crap made with stale chocolate chips, yucky condensed milk and butter made from the milk of sullen cows that have never seen the light of day. I revived this recipe a couple…
What I Ate Today on the Low Fat Raw Vegan Diet
Many of you know that I’ve been passionate about the raw vegan lifestyle for the past five-ish years. In that time, the longest I’ve stayed 100% raw was 6 months in 2010. I felt great about eating unprocessed food but I the truth is that it was tough to stick with. I experienced a lot…

How to Make Kale Chips
Kale chips are a raw vegan’s potato chip. Only, unlike potato chips, kale chips are actually GOOD for you. They are full of anti-oxidants, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and cancer-preventing phytonutrients! Kale chips are a true spiritual superhero’s superfood. Which is why I eat kale chips all the time. Not a day goes by where…
Low Fat Raw Vegan Diet + a Giveaway!
Do you ever have those days where you just can’t stop eating??? Today is one of those days. Thankfully I’m eating raw vegan food or I’m sure I’d resemble the marshmallow man from Ghostbusters right about now. I feel very fortunate that eating a pound of grapes does not have the same effect as say,…
Raw Vegan Apple Pie Recipe
This weekend was Thanksgiving here in Canada and I must admit I was a little stumped when it came to the food situation. In the end I decided to bring some raw dishes of my own… I made maple syrup glazed sweet potato noodles, the raw chili from Matt Kenney’s “Everyday Raw” and… a beautiful…
Thee Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
So I wouldn’t exactly call these vegan cookies healthy but they are sooooo good and make a fantastic occasional treat. 🙂 Enjoy.
Raw Vegan Diet for Beginners
It’s been six months since I began eating a diet comprised mainly of raw vegan food. For those of you who are new to this way of living, raw vegans eat a healthy diet comprised of uncooked fruits and vegetables, nuts and nut butters, seeds, sprouted grains, plant oils, and fresh juice. Raw vegans do…
