4-Ingredient Blueberry Muffin Protein Bites


Lately, I have been very bad about writing down my new recipes right away, and, consequently, have been forgetting them before I get a chance to do so.  Ohh I hate that!  So this one I got down right away.  And yes, I realize that's what I should always do.  But who said I always do what I should?  Hmm, could that be where the girls get that trait from?  No, of course not, they must get that from Adam.

These are super simple to make and delicious.  My intent was to make a healthy, high protein snack to have around, and one without nuts, so that they could be packed into the girls lunches.  I am thrilled to say that the girls love these, so they are definitely a success in my book.

If you can't find or don't like dried blueberries, you could add cranberries or another dried fruit, or sugar-free chocolate chips, if you prefer.  Make sure you use a protein powder that tastes good!

4-Ingredient Blueberry Muffin Protein Bites

1/3 cup coconut oil, softened
1/2 cup vegan, stevia-sweetened vanilla protein powder
1 cup oat flour (gluten-free, if necessary)
1/4 cup dried blueberries

Pulse together oil, protein powder and oat flour in food processor until well combined.  Stir in blueberries.  Roll into small balls and refrigerate until firm.  Keep for up to 2 weeks in an air tight container.  Makes 18 balls.

Japanese 7-Spice Kelp Noodles

I love trying new spices and seasonings, so I am very excited that the President's Choice Black Label line now has a bunch of new spice blends available.  My most recent find: Shichimi Togarashi, or Japanese 7-Spice blend. It's a combination of crushed red chili flakes, sea salt, Szechiuan peppercorns, black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, orange zest, wasabi powder and nori seaweed flakes. I make Japanese-inspired dishes all the time, but resort to the same old flavours most of the time: miso, soy, sesame, ginger and garlic.  I was so excited to be able to liven things up a bit. This dish is easy and tasty, although be warned that this seasoning packs punch.  I used 1 tsp, which ended up being too spicy for me, and I have a high tolerance for heat!  I recommend 1/4-1/2 tsp, or, if you don't like heat at all, make your own at home and omit the red chili flakes.  You'll get all the flavour without the heat. I served these noodles with a mix of seafood (

Book Review: The A to Z of Children's Health

Hey there, welcome to Monday!  We had a delightful, relatively quiet weekend.  How was yours?  Hopefully no one in your home was sick...there is a lot of nasty stuff going around these days. If you're a parent, than you have probably spent far more time that you would like to desperately searching Google and/or parenting books trying to figure out if your child's rash, cough or fever warrants a trip to the doctor or if there is something that can be done to treat it.  It's hard not to worry that it could be something more ominous that just an every day infection and while you'd make yourself (and everyone around you) nuts if you panicked every time your kid has the sniffles, as a parent, you naturally want to do everything in your power to prevent your child from harm. Recently I was sent The A to Z of Children's Health , written by doctors Jeremy Friedman, Natasha Saunders, and Norman Saunders, of Toronto's very own Hospital for Sick Children .  One of th

How to Look Like a Celebrity

Okay, I know you're going to be interested in this post! I am sure virtually every woman in North America has wondered how Hollywood celebrities achieve such 'perfect' bodies.  Well, at CAN FIT PRO last week, one of Hollywood's top fitness trainers, Eric the Trainer , was there to tell us fitness professionals the secrets! Eric the Trainer, gave several presentations, and I caught the one on Celebrity Secrets, and it was most interesting!!!  I also found some of what he said rather disturbing. First off, he was very upfront about the fact that celebrities come to him for improve their appearance.  Not to improve their health or athletic performance.  To look their best.  He admitted that his approach then, is entirely dedicated to that end. Male and female celebrities are trained in completely different ways because Hollywood wants women to be lithe and thin and in his words, "look like they dropped out of heaven looking this way without every having ste
