Sunshine Breakfast Bowl

Leave a comment

Coconut yoghurt, mandarin, mango, hulled hemp seeds, cashews.

Yes, again with my homemade coconut yoghurt… can’t get enough! Gives me great satiety feeling. Over here to learn how to make it yourself.

Top the yoghurt with this citrus fruit mandarin 🍊 and you’ll get a great deal of vitamin C. Well needed with winter coming.

Mangoes are sooooo good, I love them. They are packed with antioxidants.

Sprinkle with hemp seeds and cashews. And their, you have a great “sunshine” bowl.

Buy local produce and organic when possible.

Christmas-y Spinach Bowl

3 Comments

Spinach, feta cheese, pomegranate and apple. Olive oil and fleur de sel are drizzled on top.

Yes, Christmas is coming and this simple yet beautiful salad is great. Bring it to a party or just for you to enjoy. This one is made just for me… I got to try my recipes before putting them on the table for family, right? Yes, I will have this one on my table this year.

The taste is clean, crisp and sweet, smooth and tangy. The look is Christmas-y perfection!

  • I use fresh baby spinach and organic goat and sheep feta cheese.
  • My first cold press olive oil (which I like very much) is bought in my local bulk store.
  • I used locally grown apple but since it is pear season, I would also like to try them.

Purple Smoothie

1 Comment

Banana, mixed berries, kale, full fat coconut milk, pumpkin spices, flax meal.

This smoothie owes its deep purple coloration to a mix of frozen berries.

I am adding kale for protein and extra vitamins.

I not only use organic full fat coconut milk to get the benefits of lauric acid but mostly for its great taste 😍

Add all ingredients in the blender (or blend with a hand immersion mixer) and enjoy!

Powerful Bowl

Leave a comment

Homemade Kimchi, Red kidney beans, avocado, homemade broccoli sprouts, pumpkin and sunflower seeds.

This Bowl is packed with vitamins, minerals and probiotics.

  • The beans are cooked from scratch and in batches to use in my recipes.
  • I buy organic broccoli seeds and sprout them myself. Easy. And the sulfurofane of broccoli sprout is amazing for my health (and yours!).
  • Fermented food such as kimchi is also an amazing probiotic for my (and yours) gut health.

Combine these super ingredients and you have a Powerful Bowl.

Mizuna Mini Bowl

Leave a comment

Barley, avocado, mizuna, chickpeas.

This bowl is very simple yet satisfying!

I cook my grains and beans from scratch… in batches so I have them in hand for my recipes.

Mizuna is a special winter lettuce/salad that is from the cabbage family. Very rich in calcium, vitamin A and C.

Meditation / Méditation

1 Comment

Every time possible, ideally every day, I take time to meditate. 15 to 20 minutes.

For me, it’s before I start my day or before the kids come back from shool.

Early morning helps me set up a great mood and focus for the day.

In the afternoon, it helps go through the rest of the day and be more mindful with my kids.

I meditate with a mantra. I had gone to the Maarichi’s school of meditation and got a personal mantra. But I also use other mantra according to what I want to work on. And sometimes, I just follow and concentrate on my breath trying to be mindful.

Either way, it’s very good for my health and wellbeing.

Do you meditate?

Chaque fois que possible, idéalement tous les jours, je prends le temps de méditer. 15 à 20 minutes.

Pour moi, c’est avant de commencer ma journée ou avant que les enfants reviennent de l’école.

Tôt le matin m’aide à créer une bonne humeur et à me concentrer pour la journée.

L’après-midi, cela aide à passer le reste de la journée et à être plus attentif à mes enfants.

Je médite avec un mantra. Je suis allé à l’école de méditation de Maarichi et j’ai obtenu un mantra personnel. Mais j’utilise aussi d’autres mantras selon ce sur quoi je veux travailler. Et parfois, je ne fais que suivre et me concentrer sur ma respiration en essayant d’être attentif.

De toute façon, c’est très bon pour ma santé et mon bien-être.

Méditez-vous?
