When planning for a trip on the snack/ food front, one of our all-time favourite creations is homemade trail mix. Accordingly, we thought to spread the word on a simple and nutritious “trail mix foundation” recipe this month.

This recipe creates a hearty and filling soup that eats like a meal and is full of vitamins, minerals, protein, and fibre. With a thick and creamy texture and rich flavour, it is hard to believe that this soup is low in both fat and calories (macro trackers rejoice!). This chowder is lower in sodium than many commercial products as the fresh ingredients that it contains (including onions, turnip, thyme, and parsley) contribute to this soup’s delicious flavour.

The name says it all - don't you agree?

Don't let the colour scare you, this nutrient-rich smoothie is loaded with vitamins and tastes fruitier than it looks. Made with spinach, kale, banana, pineapple, mangos, and yogurt.

Are you the type of person who wakes up and immediately thinks COFFEE? We feel you. This nutritient dense coffee smoothie recipe is ready in minutes and is healthier than the sugar-filled coffee drinks you are tempted to buy on your way to work.

This smoothie packs a mean punch with all the berries. Açai is known for its unique nutritional profile and taste which includes hints of blackberry and dark chocolate. Made with chocolate milk, açai, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries... we gaurentee this is a flavour experience you won't soon forget.

Make it rain with this powerhouse of antioxidants. Vibrant in colour and even more so in flavour, this smoothie is creamy in texture with matcha green tea, mango, and... wait for it... Spinach! Don't dis it til' you try it - we bet you won't even notice this sneaky ingredient.
