RECIPE & INTUITION 👇🏻❤️Intuitive eating RECIPE & INTUITION 👇🏻❤️Intuitive eating means honouring what your body is telling you it needs without judgement. Although this doesn’t look like a typical supper, this is what my body wants tonight and interestingly there is a reason why.⁣
⁣
I’m coming out of a week of massive post period brain fog, tiredness and whacked energy. One of the most intuitive things I have learned to do is to track and honour my cycle. Once I learned that I was AMAZED by how intuitive my body was with its  nutrition needs. Currently, I am likely a bit low in iron, minerals and just needing some sustained nutrition. My body knows that it can get all those things from this delicious Dark Chocolate Cherry Chia Parfait.⁣
⁣
Once you start to listen to your body, honour your cycle and nourish accordingly your body works for you, not against you. How are you listening to your bodies needs right now? For me it’s eating a chai parfait for supper, with an extra side of dark chocolate, taking my bra off, relaxing outside in the hammock and just being. ⁣
⁣
Chia Pudding Ingredients:⁣
½ cup unsweetened full fat canned coconut milk⁣
1 tbsp water⁣
2 tbsp chia seeds⁣
2 tsp cacao powder⁣
¼ tsp vanilla extract⁣
⁣
Toppings:⁣
1/2 cup frozen dark sweet cherries thawed⁣
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds⁣
½ tsp almond butter⁣
½ tsp dairy-free dark chocolate chunks 85% or cacao nibs⁣
⁣
Instructions:⁣
In a medium bowl, combine chia pudding ingredients. Allow the pudding to sit for 5 minutes to gel.⁣
⁣
Pour pudding into two mason jars or bowls and top with cherries, pumpkin seeds, almond butter and chocolate chunks. Makes 2 servings⁣

☀️☀️☀️It’s a hottie out there today! ☀️☀️☀️It’s a hottie out there today!!! HASKAP BERRY ORANGE MARGARITA anyone??? 🧉💜🍊⁣
⁣
I’ve got 3 frozen margarita recipes on my blog but this Haskap Orange Marg is the most refreshing, antioxidant rich and flavourful by far.⁣
⁣
Haskap berries, also called Honeysuckle berries, are soft skinned berries that house a vibrant purple flesh rich in antioxidants. They are some what sweet with a tart punch. Originating from Siberia & popular in Japan,  Haskap berries have recently made there way to Alberta and are becoming farmed across the province. Throughout the summer months you can find these berries at farmers markets, u-picks and can even plant your own bushes (which my mom did this year). Have you ever tried? You can also sub for blueberries in the margarita. ⁣
⁣
Ingredients:⁣
1 tsp coarse salt (for salted rim)⁣
1.5 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice⁣
2 tsp honey⁣
2 cups ice⁣
¼ cup haskap berries (OR blueberries)⁣
1 drop food grade orange essential oil (OR 2 tbsp fresh orange juice)⁣
1 oz alcohol of choice (tequila, white rum, vodka, gin, etc.)⁣
⁣

Gratitude ☀️🙏🏻🌎 For nature, love, pup Gratitude ☀️🙏🏻🌎 For nature, love, puppy cuddles, stillness, sunshine, dragonflies, butterflies, fresh caught fish, cold water, connection, the warm of a fire, the smell of spruce, intimacy, soul conversations and clarity.⁣
⁣
Nature has a way of making you present, shifting your mindset and outlook, providing you with answers that have been there all along, grounding you enough to feel connected to your body, allowing you to soak up ever precious, glorious moment without distraction🌲⁣
⁣
Disconnecting from distraction and engaging in full presence is what allows us to grab hold of our time and really feel that we are taking in and experiencing every moment.⁣
⁣
Reconnecting with Mother Earth reminds me of just how much we can get caught up in social media, distractions on our phones, spiraling into confusion and forgetting what is really important to ourselves and in our heart. I have fallen prey to this trap too. ⁣
⁣
Allow yourself to listen to your heart whispers, feel what is in your gut and allow yourself to take a deep breath of fresh air, it is here that you are safe, supported and present.
Here’s to hoping you have a weekend filled with Here’s to hoping you have a weekend filled with sunshine, fresh air, cookies and naps☀️💤🍪⁣
⁣
I’m retreating to the lake with my two loves for some healing by the water, quality time in nature and disconnection from my phone & social media ❤️🙏🏻 this is what fills my cup and after all the feels the past couple weeks (along with two trips to the vet for Nova) it is much needed. How are you filling your cup? ⁣
⁣
And if you are interested in making the best cookies ever for yourself, check out the New Mama Energy Cookies recipe on my blog (link in bio). I am eating some leftover batter in the truck right now 😂 so damn good.
Now is the time for deep nourishment. 🌱👇🏻 Now is the time for deep nourishment. 🌱👇🏻 Recipe below 👇🏻🌱⠀⁣
⠀⁣
The collective is shifting, we are experiencing changes in energy that we can’t even put into words. Our bodies are feeling it. This is a reminder that we still need to be nutritionally supported and to fill ourselves with nutrients to elevate our energy, support our adrenals, nervous and immune systems and to stay hydrated.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
I highly recommend salads, smoothies and soups during this time with lots of plant based ingredients. Fruits, vegetables and herbs are filled vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients to support our bodies. Nutrients such as B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin D (sunshine), magnesium and zinc are especially important right now.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
🍃Think green leafy vegetables - kale, spinach, arugula, collard greens, romaine lettuce⠀⁣
🥕Bright vegetables and fruits- yams, bell peppers, carrots, purple cabbage, beets, broccoli, asparagus, beans, kiwi, apples, mango, berries ⠀⁣
🍊Citrus - lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, tangerine⠀⁣
🌱Herbs-  cilantro, parsley, dill, dulse, kelp, nettle, holy basil, horsetail, rhodiola, moringa, chlorella, spirulina, ashwaganda⠀⁣
🍄 Medicinal mushrooms- chaga, reishi, loin’s main, cordyceps ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
If you need a suggestion for where to start, try out my Super Harvest Salad (nut-free & vegan) and add in any additional greens, veggies, fruits or herbs that you like.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4 cups kale de-stemmed, chopped and massaged with 1 tbsp olive oil OR a blend of spinach, arugula and romaine lettuce (whatever you prefer)⠀⁣
¼ cup fresh pomegranate seeds (frozen will work as well), can also sub for blueberries⠀⁣
¼ cup Easy Shaved Brussel Sprouts https://thewoodenskillet.com/shaved-brussel-sprouts/⠀⁣
¼ cup Roasted Yams https://livnourished.com/roasted-yams/⠀⁣
¼ cup Seedy Vegan Bits https://livnourished.com/seedy-vegan-bits-nut-free-plant-based-alternative-to-bacon-bits/⠀⁣
2 tbsp red onion chopped⠀⁣
3 tbsp Creamy Balsamic Dressing https://livnourished.com/creamy-balsamic-dressing-nut-free-vegan/⠀⁣
