There was a time where I knew spinach was good for me… but I didn’t always enjoy eating it. And I know I’m not alone. A lot of people struggle with the taste or texture of leafy greens.

Spinach is amazing for energy, iron levels, immunity and overall wellness. And when I add spirulina, it’s like giving my b

I’m used to eating small meals often, so by that time it was very much meal time for me. That day I had nothing prepared, no meal prep, nothing in the freezer, nothing ready to reheat. So I needed a quick, impromptu meal that would actually satisfy my hunger and be 100% tasty. I love salmon for its flavour and all the omega-3 benefits, but I find that

I’ve been seeing this viral trend all over my social media, so of course I had to try it. Let’s be honest… my first attempt was a bit weird. The texture was fine, but the taste? Not it.
