This is the ultimate detox green juice and it only has a few simple ingredients but it is damn tasty!

Now, I don’t juice as often as I used to but I still love me some green juice. I really only promote juicing in two ways:

Last night, I took my girlfriend to a Gabrielle Bernstein event here in Vancouver. I hadn’t actually been to Gabby’s events before.  I subscribe to her Spirit Junkie app and I will often watch her videos as a subscriber to her newsletter/website. It was an amazing event. There was a lot of talk about fear and resistance which really hit me hard.  My girlfriend had the same impact.

It was a bit of a late night and I naturally wake up early so I wanted something warming but that wasn’t coffee. So, here we are…

I love coffee.  I really, REALLY do.  Now, I’m not a 2-3 cup a day coffee drinker but I have one cup of joe a day. And, if you live in West Vancouver like I do, you’ll find me on the weekends at a local coffee shop with my honey, sipping away working on this website.

Hey, I even did a video on EatLifeBalanceTV with my ASK JULIE: Is Coffee Good or Bad For Me?

I’ve just returned from a trip back home where I was in Ottawa, Toronto and my hometown of Barry’s Bay, Ontario.  Needless to say it was a little glutinous.  It’s not that I necessarily ate bad, except that my family ALWAYS has desserts on the table after a meal. I snuck a few bites of ice cream or chocolate zucchini cake or those homemade butter tarts.  Oh, and then I also indulged in some wine…

So, have you tried So Delicious’s Cashew Salted Caramel non-dairy ice cream yet? It’s is amazing. It’s sweet, salty and nutty and without dairy!

I decided that this may make a swoon-worthy Cashew + Salted Caramel Smoothie Bowl but made with less sugar.

I love me some pesto.  I posted this OMG Kale Pesto last year and it’s still one of my most popular recipes! Thank you for the support 🙂

You are always going to find a big ‘ol bag or container of hemp seeds in my fridge. Yes, I keep them in the fridge to retain their freshness.  In fact, I’m thinking that freezing them will also be an even better idea!  I thought hemp seeds added to a pesto in replacement of pine nuts would work and it does.  Hemp is also loaded with omega fats AND it’s a complete plant-based protein making it good for the body and easy to digest.
