These twice baked potatoes are a great way to use leftover baked sweet or white potatoes a second time over, without getting bored of the same old same old. The recipe is super duper simple: cut your leftover potatoes in half and carefully scoop out the insides. Make sure to keep a thin layer of potato to keep the skin sturdy. Put the inner potato into a bowl, and make into your fave mashed potatoes! Now for the toppings & fillings: sauté a handful of your fave veggies in a frying pan until soft. Season with salt, pepper & garlic powder. Combine your mashed potato & veggies, stirring to combine. You can add salsa or tomato sauce at this point too. Top your potato with your fave dairy or non dairy cheese. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve piping hot and enjoy! You can also add added cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, guacamole, anything really once the potato is ready to eat! #healthyrecipes #leftovermakeover #leftoversfordays #healthandwellness #healthcoach #food52 #thefeedfeed #beyonce #cuffitchallenge #leftoverrecipes #ditchdietculture

It’s officially soup season & I’m getting creative this Fall! Truth: I’ve never in my life had broccoli cheddar soup. I got it in my head that I wanted to make a dairy free version, so here we are! This creamy, dreamy soup is totally dairy free & can also be made completely vegan. Definitely worth adding to your soup roster! **Add salt & pepper to taste before serving You can also swap all the dairy free options for dairy if you choose. Your swaps are: Cashew milk = 1% milk Coconut milk = heavy cream Vegan cheddar = regular cheddar Enjoy! #soupseason #broccolicheddarsoup #dairyfreerecipes #dairyfree #souprecipe #healthandwellness #healthyrecipes #healthcoach #healthcoaching #food52 #thefeedfeedvegan

I’m super flexible with my grocery shopping 90% of the time. I shop sales, I don’t always buy organic and I always try to keep my grocery bill as low as possible. That said, I have a few non-negotiables when I’m grocery shopping. If you’re looking to make small changes that will have big results in your overall health, these are a few small ways to choose products that limit the amount of chemicals, toxins and additives that can built up in your body 1. Read your meat labels. Always buy hormone & antibiotic free. Try to get organic whenever possible. Avoid products with too many ingredients, and especially ones with nitrates in them. 2. If you’re buying pre-made broths, buy organic & low sodium where possible. The ingredient list should contain items you recognize & no artificial colours or flavours. 3. Try to buy mercury free canned tuna. Regular tuna can have significant amounts of mercury in it, and over time that same build up can happen in your body. 5. Organic coconut milk is key: it should only list 2 ingredients ideally and that’s coconut & water. Many of the non organic brands us thickening additives that aren’t great to consume. 6. I don’t have this above but but organic, free range eggs whenever possible. Mainstream eggs are can contain antibiotics & pesticides that get absorbed into the body when eaten. 7. High quality supplements. These cost more for sure, but if you’re going to add a supplement to your diet you want to ensure you’re giving your system the highest quality of this vitamin or mineral. Do some research before selecting the brand that works for you #groceryhaul #groceryshopping #grocerytips #healthygroceries #groceryhacks #healthandwellness #healthtips #tgif #fridayfoodhaul #healthcoach #nonsponsored

Back to the office means back to weekly meal prep! I try to keep it simple during the week- quick 25-30 minute prep and then on my way! Meal prep doesn’t mean hours of work, in fact it shouldn’t. To keep it simple & still allow for homemade meals, here are some easy tips to follow: ✨ Leverage leftovers. Do your cooking on the weekend or at night so you have quick options to grab for lunch. Some great options are roasted chicken or fish, quinoa, brown rice, roasted veggies, or sweet potatoes. ✨ Chop up some veggies or fruit to bring with you. Try to add a healthy fat like olives, avocado or mixed nuts to keep you full longer. ✨ Don’t skip breakfast. If you can, bring something to the office otherwise prep something for before you leave. These oats take 4 minutes to prep and 2 minutes to cook. They’re a great weekday option ✨ Keep some other grab and go snacks handy. Not all pre-made snacks are bad, in fact there are tons of great options to choose from. Check your ingredients & this provides you some really quick grab and go options.

One of the biggest fitness mistakes is not listening to your body and feeling “bullied” into movement that is too advanced for your fitness level. When beginning your fitness journey, making sure to listen to your body & ideally finding trainers and classes that provide modifications for different levels is key. If you don’t listen to your body, you are more likely to get injured or simply not go back due to the experience. Trainers are there to motivate, to push you, but also to understand limitations. No one should be mocking or criticizes you for adjusting a movement or “leveling down”. Don’t let these kinds of classes deter you. There are tons of encouraging instructors that have the main goal of seeing you succeed. It takes time to find fitness that fits, but a positive approach from an instructor always helps motivate more than a negative one. Some of my fave positive fitness trainers & studios are: Me (duh) I provide modifications for all moves so that you can adjust as you go @lbfitnessmtl @alessiasculpt @nicoleisshort @sarabucksmovement @ckazfit @uniti_fitness_pointe_claire @stacylelfitness @amandazweig @karenmichellle Check them all out: you’ll find something you like with one of their platforms (most available online) or in person in Montreal or Toronto. #positivefitness #fitnessmotivation #fitspo #fitnessjourney #healthandwellness #healthandfitness #healthateverysize #motivation #encouragement #ondemandworkouts #discoverunder1k

Ok so after 2 weeks with 0 workouts, this is my first one back. I’m easing into it because I’m just feeling better from being sick & don’t want to overdo it. This is a perfect beginning workout BUT can also be levelled up by throwing on some ankle weights. It’s the perfect express burn too. Set your timer for 30 seconds of work, rest for 10 seconds in between each move & repeat the series 3-5 times. Don’t forget to throw on a killer playlist! You can head to my Spotify for tons of suggestions. #saturdayselfcare #weekendworkout #welcomebackworkout #workoutmotivation #lowimpactmovement #barreworkout #fitnessmotivation #ditchdietculture #dietculturedropout #healthcoach #workoutoftheday #popsugarfitness
