SUPER SEED SLAW
/
I absolutely love this colourful seed-packed coleslaw. It’s bright and beautiful with a variety of textures, plus it’s super easy to make and bursting with fresh flavour and health benefits.
I basically used every seed I had in my pantry for this salad, but feel free to use your choice of seeds and/or nuts. They’re a great source of healthy fats and plant-based protein, and add a wonderful crunch to this family-friendly slaw.

Tabbouleh/tabouli is a Middle Eastern salad traditionally made with finely diced parsley, tomatoes, mint, onion, and bulgar wheat, all tossed together with olive oil & lemon juice. It is a wonderfully fresh, fragrant and nutritious dish.
Here I put a seasonal spin on things by creating a warm version. And I also made it low-carb & grain-free (yup — using my favourite cauliflower rice!) for my gluten-free, paleo & keto friends!

Yup, that's right — a green pea smoothie!!
As a kid, I loved to pick the pods from the garden and eat the little sun-warmed gems straight-up!
And green peas pack a nutritional punch, too! They are rich in vitamins & minerals including vitamins K & C as well as disease-fighting antioxidants like coumestrol, which is believed to reduce the risk of stomach cancer. Furthermore, one cup of peas contains approximately 8 grams of fibre and 8 grams of protein.

We absolutely love vegan ice cream at my house. The kids suggested the combo of matcha and mint chip since they are big fans of both flavours. I also added a splash of lime for freshness -- and because research shows that citrus helps increase the absorption of antioxidants from the matcha!
