Fresh & Nutritious Summer Salad
Having plentiful vitamins and minerals in our diet is important to support good health all year long, but it is especially crucial to make sure that we load up in the heat of summer. The heat from the sun can cause important minerals to be lost (via sweat) from our body. To combat this fluid loss overall, drinking more water and eating high water content foods is important to rehydrate our body. And focusing on colourful produce each day provides added vitamins and minerals for us to thrive so we can enjoy each day to the fullest. A bounty of fresh produce is also available now, so let’s take advantage!
A Happy and Healthy Valentine’s Day

Reduced Fat Turkey Chili

Peanut Butter Banana Freezer Protein Bars
With the goal of minimizing kitchen time (and keeping that oven fully turned off in the dog days of summer), these protein bars were designed to be the perfect summer eat. Light on the stomach, high protein and fibre, and full of delicious peanut butter and banana flavour, I have a feeling these bars will find a place in the heart of many. Bring them to the beach or park to enjoy with friends, enjoy one at that common 3pm slump on a work day, or savour a bar as you watch the sunset following a full summer day.
Italian Herb Turkey Meatballs
By using extra lean ground turkey, you can make the meatballs healthier compared to traditional beef meatballs. And in summer, many of us enjoy the fresh fragrance that herbs bring – so we put them to use in this recipe.
Whether fresh or dried, using herbs is such an easy way to turn up the flavour and contribute to your health with little to no calories. In this recipe, we use dried herbs; however, you’re encouraged to use/add fresh herbs if you end up making creative dishes with these turkey meatballs. Make pasta, salad, soup, or a sub with them… you are the boss in your kitchen!
Scrambled Eggs with Spinach and Peas
During the dynamic and challenging times of today, new routines and behaviours will begin to emerge. This does present opportunity for us to change, for the better. Specifically, when faced with staying close to home each day it's important to make sure the routines we adopt are ones that serve our health, rather than damage it. One routine we recommend taking advantage of routinely is having a few flexible staple meals in your diet throughout the day – from our experience working with clients, we recognize that this is one common thread that is greatly appreciated.
