CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI PREP ✔️ SAVE this po

CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI PREP

✔️ SAVE this post because having vegetables washed and chopped 👉 ready to go for the week ahead, is a great time saver AND it provides the opportunity to put VEGGIES first PLANTFORWARD #mealprep

▪️ Chop your vegetables according to how you plan to use them. With cauliflower and broccoli, I like to separate them into florets.

▪️ Next add the chopped cauliflower + broccoli to a large bowl with cold water.

MEAL PREP STORAGE TIP: Remove any excess water then store in an airtight container lined with paper towel to absorb any excess moisture. Keep refrigerated for up to 4 days.

Enjoy throughout week 👉 steamed and topped with sea salt and butter, tossed in olive oil and roasted in the oven, combine with protein of choice as a sheet pan meal or simply enjoy raw with hummus or homemade dip!

BASIL BOMBS Here’s a 💣 MEAL PREP idea to sto

BASIL BOMBS

Here’s a 💣 MEAL PREP idea to store your fresh basil (or any fresh herb) for months…

✔️ SAVE this post
@@ Tag your bestie

▪️ In a food processor, add fresh basil leaves along with a few heavy swigs of good quality oil. I’m using Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

▪️ Pulse just until the basil is finely chopped (you don’t want to turn this into a paste). Go easy on the oil, you can always add more oil if needed. SWIPE to check the video for the desired texture >>>

▪️ Divide the mixture into an ice cube tray, cover with plastic wrap and freeze until the cubes are solid (a few hours or overnight).

▪️ Remove the frozen basil cubes (aka BASIL BOMBS) from the ice cube tray and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag 👉 in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Nothing beats the flavour of fresh herbs but when your garden is overflowing and the cooler months are approaching, the freezer is your friend! Storing your garden herbs this way helps to preserve the freshness and flavour AND its an easy way to add herbs to all your meals one cube at a time!

USE YOUR BASIL BOMBS…

💣 To make PESTO > allow a few frozen cubes to thaw completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Add finely chopped pine nuts, minced garlic and graded Parmesan cheese. Mix to combine and add more oil as needed.

💣 To add flavour to TOMATO SAUCE, SOUPS and STEWS > simply toss in a few frozen basil cubes directly into your homemade sauce, soup or stew while cooking.

💣 To add flavour to SALADS, DIPS and DRESSING > toss one or more cubes directly into your salad, dip or dressing and allow the frozen cubes to thaw naturally while mixing to combine.

RASPBERRY OATMILK SHAKE Save your store bought OA

RASPBERRY OATMILK SHAKE

Save your store bought OAT MILK for your coffee ‘cause you don’t need it for this EASY RECIPE!

This milkshake is so frothy and creamy you’d never guess it was dairy-free and naturally sweetened with ripe bananas!

▪️ Simply add 1/4 cup rolled oats + 1 cup cold water and a tiny pinch of sea salt to a high speed blender and blend until smooth. BAM 💥 you just made OAT MILK and no straining required for this milkshake.

▪️ Next add in 1/4 cup frozen raspberries + 1 cup frozen sliced bananas + optional splash of pure vanilla extract and continue blending until smooth and creamy. Add a few splashes of water as needed to reach your desired consistency.

⚠️ When it comes to store bought plant-based milks; consider that many brands contain inflammatory oils, unnecessary fillers and emulsifiers.

MEAL PREP TIP: Skip the store bought stuff and get into the habit of making a batch of homemade plant-based milk as part of your weekly MEAL PREP. You’ll be happy that you did and your wallet will thank you 😉

Whatever your long weekend plans look like…I hop

Whatever your long weekend plans look like…I hope they involve CHOCOLATE and FROZEN treats!

To make these BANANA ICE POPS 👉 simply peel your bananas, cut them in half, add a popsicle stick then pop them into the freezer for an hour or more. Dip your frozen banana ice pops into melted chocolate and cover with whatever your heart desires. We like using rice crisp cereal but nuts or shredded coconut are equally fabulous!

Throw back to this amazing harvest last year direct from my backyard ❤️ and I can’t wait for this year’s bounty!

Tending to my garden is the perfect excuse to pull me away from the computer during the month of JUNE when I’m knee deep in Corporate Income Tax filings #cpalife

It’s a chance for me to disconnect from technology, rest my tired eyes and connect with NATURE.

So far my KALE is epic… just picked the first batch of the season and more to come. CHECK IT OUT 👉
