Orange, Ginger, Carrot Muffins

I hate waste and try as often as possible to use up everything we have in the fridge. So after a few times of making wellness shots, I hate throwing away all the pulp. I knew it packed full of fiber and flavour. So I started using the pulp to make muffins. Use this easy recipe for a little spicy, but super tasting high fiber muffin.

Make Your Own Wellness Shots

A wellness shot is definitely not mandatory for healthy living. For us, it’s a great to kick start our day and add a splash of nutrients first thing in the morning. Naval oranges and lemons for vitamin C, ginger and turmeric for anti-inflammatory properties, carrots for beta-carotene, black pepper to activate the turmeric and coconut water for potassium and magnesium.

It’s winter here in Canada, which means it’s also vacation time here. Us Northerners can often be found flying South to warmer temperatures and beaches to escape the cold. While the benefits of a vacation, like relaxations, unplug and reset, sunshine (soak in that vitamin D baby!) and quality family time are well worth it for the grand scheme of life, vacations often reek havoc on your diet It’s so tempting to overeat, choose the “wrong foods” or over consume alcohol & sugary drinks.

My Go To Smoothie Recipe

I love a smoothie, especially when I feel like I haven’t been making the best choices when it comes to eating. It allows me to pack in fruits and veggies, protein and healthy fats easily to kick start my day.
