If you’ve been on a journey to balance your hormones and have a healthier period, then you may have heard about “seed cycling”. This is the practice of eating specific seeds at each phase of your cycle to support your hormones as they naturally fluctuate, and has been used by women for decades to help balance their hormones! ✨👏🏼
⁣
If you’re thinking “that sounds complicated, I don’t have time” – hear me out! I thought the same thing at first, but then I realized how simple it really is. The seeds you will need include: flaxseeds, pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds. All of which are easy to find, and easy to incorporate into smoothies, breakfast yogurt bowls, or protein bites such as these! In fact, made this recipe for Seed Cycling Protein Bites because I wanted to make it easier to get my daily dose of seeds in!

The secret to a delicious salad is l in the dressing! I'm willing to bet that you WANT to eat healthy and enjoy salads, but they just take too much time & effort. Store bought salad dressings are tempting because they are convenient…but have you ever read the ingredients? 😬
⁣
Soybean oil, canola oil, sugar in the form of high fructose corn syrup, and sodium-rich preservatives are all common unhealthy ingredients that are lurking in store-bought dressings. In other words, a sure-fire way to reduce the health benefits of eating a salad in the first place.

I want to help you to take your salads to the next level, with 4 easy, healthy and delicious salad dressings that you can easily meal prep ahead of time! Tap the link in my bio to download my free guide which includes all my favourite dressings - right away. 😊 Enjoy!

5 things I’ve learned in 5 years of blogging…

5 things I’ve learned in 5 years of blogging… 🤯 ✨
⁣
I started my blog in January of 2016! I was living with my parents after university & feeling a little lost about what I wanted to do! I went to school for Wildlife Biology - and loved it, but I felt called to do something more creative. I started to get really interested in holistic health & nutrition, and decided to pursue a diploma in Holistic Nutrition! This is what started me down this path… I was learning so much, and I figured that what I was learning could help others as well. I started my blog (originally called Wild Green Life), and began writing about food and essential oils. I was super excited, but also terrified to tell anyone at first. What would people think?!
⁣
The hardest thing about creative work that you’ve poured your heart & soul into... is sharing with others. 🤯 But the risk is worth the reward! There’s nothing like the feeling of helping and serving others. Even if you just put a smile on one person’s face, or made a post that helped 1 person. That’s my motto - and what keeps me going everyday.
⁣
I’ll be celebrating 5 years of blogging and posting here on Instagram, so in honor of that I wanted to share a little bit about what I’ve learned. If you have ALWAYS wanted to start a side hustle & need a little encouragement... keep reading!

1. There is no perfect time to start, other than NOW! I bet you can think of 1,000 little reasons why NOT to start that side hustle, blog, Instagram etc…. that you’ve been wanting to start for years. As humans, our brains seem to specialize in finding the negative side. BUT I promise there is no other better time to start than now. If you don’t have the perfect photo, the best camera, or a huge budget to invest… don’t worry! You will get there, but only by building your skills through experience. The only way to do that is to start now, and get better as you go!

Taking a break from Christmas cookies 🍪 (delici

Taking a break from Christmas cookies 🍪 (delicious as they are) to re-fuel with this antioxidant rich Wild Blueberry Smoothie!
⁣
Here’s what I put in it (approximate amounts - save this for later!)
⁣
• 1/2 frozen banana
• 1/2 cup frozen pineapple
• 3/4 cup frozen blueberries
• 1 tbsp tahini
• 1 tbsp ground flax seeds
• 1/2 tsp grated ginger (I keep it in the freezer & grate in frozen, works so well)!
• 1 scoop @gardenoflifecanada raw organic vanilla protein powder
• water

Blend on high and enjoy! You can also swap blueberries out for fresh spinach for a delicious green smoothie which I’ve also been enjoying lately!
⁣
Anyone else just feel like they need some fruit & veg in between all the Christmas foods? Don’t get me wrong, I love ALL the food around Christmas time, but whenever I have a chance to sneak a smoothie in, my digestion thanks me for the break. 🙌🏼 ☺️

Holiday baking has begun! ✨ 🎄 I’ve made 2 batches of these Almond Flour Raspberry Jam Thumbprint Cookies this week and have absolutely zero regrets because they are the MOST most delicious, and maybe my favourite Christmas cookie to enjoy!
⁣
I’ve never been a huge fan of things that are overly sweet — so these cookies are just the perfect amount of sweetness. Add in some tart gooey raspberry jam and you’ve got most festive, pretty and tasty 😋 cookie out there! They are also gluten-free and dairy-free, for anyone who needs to avoid those ingredients ☺️
⁣
Tap the link in my bio or head over to nourishmintkitchen.ca for the recipe, it as super easy and doesn’t contain any refined sugar - just maple syrup! 🇨🇦 ✌🏼

3 positive quotes & reminders to get you through this week! SAVE this post & don’t forget to share with a friend. ☺️💕
⁣
I’m 2/3 of the way through @jayshetty ‘s book Think Like A Monk, How to Train Your Mind for Peace & Purpose Everyday, and it’s so good. Probably my favourite book of 2020 - the entire book could be thought of as a meditation. Each time I come back to it, I read a chapter that is the exact message or reminder that I needed that day. Highly recommend checking it out if you need a little positive boost to get you through these last weeks of 2020 and as a great way to start of 2021. ✨

I hope these reminders brought a smile to your face today! Comment below

Just over here waiting for the lake to freeze so we can start the skating season, lake walks and maybe even some cross country skiing! ❄️Wouldn’t it be great if 2020 threw a curve ball and blessed us with a perfect outdoor hockey rink? 🏒 🥅 😍

Snowy trees & a still lake - I just had to run out and snap a few photos of this winter-y scene.
