Balance Is Beauty

Hi!

I don’t know about you – but I am SO happy it’s Friday! The weather has turned awful cold her in Toronto, which makes it very hard to get out of bed in the mornings My family has booked a trip to Florida at the end of April – let the countdown begin! Where my Florida bloggers at – I think a meet up is definitely in the cards

I have found a new obsession that I just need to tell you all about, maybe you’ve already tried it, if you haven’t, you don’t know what you’re missing!

Artisana (one of the best companies out there, in my opinion!), makes this amazing raw coconut butter – not to be confused with coconut oil. It is made out of whole coconut meat and then ground into a creamy butter – and I LOVE that it’s raw! I’ve been spreading it on my raw bread, my raw desserts – basically everything and anything, I love it! As I mentioned before, I do eat honey (raw, unpasteurized), which I know a lot of vegans are uncomfortable with, I mix a little bit of honey with a little bit of coconut butter and honestly I melt – it is sooooo good, I can’t get enough of this stuff! So, if you like coconut, and you haven’t tried this – I definitely recommend it!

New obsession #2 to tell you about. I have a new breakfast soup/smoothie that I just can’t get enough of.

I like to call this soup because it is so thick and creamy that I have to eat it with a spoon. 1 scoop protein powder, 1/2 banana, 1/2 c almond milk, 1/2 cup water, 1tsp spirulina, 1/8tsp guar gum, 1/8 tsp xanthan gum, a scoop of avocado, approx 2 cups of spinach, 1 tsp agave (or stevia) and a handful of ice cubes. Throw it all in the blender (it might need a little help, it gets pretty thick) and enjoy! I top mine with some soaked and dehydrated buckwheat and unsweetened coconut – delish and has definite staying power! (My tummy is growling right now – I think I need to go whip some up asap!)

Navitas Naturals was kind enough to send me some of their products to sample.

I haven’t had the chance to sample them yet, but I promise reviews to come as I try them each out!

Well friends, my workday is about to begin, I guess the sooner it begins, the sooner the weekend will be upon us I don’t have anything too exciting planned for the weekend? Anyone doing anything fun??

I have to show you, where the puppers has decided to call bed:

Hubby left his empty gym bag by the stairs the other day, and look who jumped in! I should put this away, but he loves it so much, I’ve yet to put it away  

Have a Great Weekend Friends!
