Just some thoughts (or perhaps I should call them notes-to-self cuz they’re as much for me as anyone) on this 💙...
Get out of the bubble. Push beyond your comfort zones. Make mistakes and learn. Know that there is beauty in imperfection. Don’t judge — yourself or others. Work hard but don’t forget to play. Plan wisely but make space for serendipity. Embrace life in all its messy wonder. Because from the messy comes the magic. ✨💙✨

HAPPY !!
Made this cottage cheese & 🥑 toast for my teenage son the other day and it was a total hit. He loved the mix of creamy and crunchy with the spicy guac. And I loved the fact that it was loaded with greens (added more post pic 👌🏼), fibre, healthy fats & protein!!
One half-cup of 2% cottage cheese contains around 100 calories, over 13 g of protein and loads of essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus & selenium. I gave it an extra gut-healthy protein boost by stirring in some chicken bone broth powder, too! 💪🏼
Toast Deets:
Toasted + 2% cottage cheese mixed with chicken bone broth powder + seedling salad + roasted pumpkin seeds + homemade guacamole (🥑 smashed with + S&P) + h**p seeds.

PUMPKIN PECAN PROTEIN PUDDING 🎃
(That tastes like pumpkin pie but is healthy enough for brekkie!!)
(df, gf, paleo & RSF)
With 🇺🇸 Thanksgiving next week, I felt the need to share a couple more 🎃 recipes. I whipped this pudding together in my in no time and it was a HUGE hit with the fam. Super yummy, super healthy, and good for the gut, too. That's a winner in my books!
Pumpkin is incredibly nutrient dense. A cup of mashed pumpkin has only 50 calories but delivers loads of vitamins and minerals, including 200% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin A & more potassium than a banana! Because it is low-calorie & fibre-rich (3 grams/cup), pumpkin helps you to feel full and is a great choice for healthy weight control. It is also rich in powerful antioxidants that have anti-aging benefits for the eyes and skin and may help to protect against cancer, hypertension & heart disease.
For this recipe, you can use homemade (recipe OTB) or canned pumpkin purée. If using canned, be sure to get pure pumpkin and not pie filling, which is full of refined sugar.
See website Food Joy page for recipe deets, but here are ingredients:
Pumpkin purée + unsweetened almond milk + bovine gelatin powder + pecan butter (or nut butter of choice) + monkfruit (used here; code "DRTARA" for discount) or sweetener of choice + pumpkin pie spice.
Topped with pecans, pumpkin seeds, coconut chips & 89% cacao bar.

CRANBERRY PERSIMMON COCOYO TOAST for
(v, df, nf options & RSF)
We may celebrate 🇨🇦 Thanksgiving in October, but with 🇺🇸 Thanksgiving right around the corner, I’m feelin’ all the festive holiday vibes!
This tasty toast was a big hit with my chicklets and kept us full for hours thanks to the fiber, healthy fats & protein!
And can we talk CRANBERRIES for a moment?!?
These little ruby-red gems are for more than just turkey! They impart a delightful tartness and colour to anything from fruit compote & crumble to smoothies, salads, stews, chia jam and porridge!
Cranberries are native to North America where they are harvested from about mid-September until mid-November. They contain an impressive array of phytonutrients with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging & anti-cancer benefits. The polyphenols found in cranberries known as proanthocyanidins (or PACs) are helpful in the treatment & prevention of urinary tract infections. Cranberry consumption may also have benefits for the cardiovascular, immune and gastrointestinal systems.
AND NOW FOR THE TOAST:
Toasted + homemade probiotic coconut yogurt (recipe OTB) mixed with Clean Lean vanilla protein (use code “DRTARA” for discount) + diced Fuyu persimmon + easy cranberry compote (frozen berries heated & macerated with pure maple syrup) + raw pistachios + a sprinkle of cinnamon. DELISH!

GOLDEN GINGER QUINOA BREAKFAST BOWL 💛
(v, df, gf options & RSF)
Quinoa isn't just for dinner — it also makes a great protein-rich, gluten-free breakfast option. This version is a little savoury, a little sweet, and 100% nutritious & delicious!
Quinoa is often referred to as a grain, but it is actually a seed. It is rich in antioxidants, fibre, and vitamins & minerals including magnesium, zinc, & B vitamins. Quinoa is one of the few plant foods that contains all 9 essential amino acids.
Here I’ve also added bone broth powder (omit for vegan) for a collagen boost, along with h**p, flax, & chia seeds for extra protein, fibre, minerals, and those brain-boosting omega 3s. Turmeric and other warming spices deliver wonderful flavour, antioxidants & health benefits.
GOLDEN GINGER QUINOA can be made ahead for a quick morning meal and served cold or reheated for these chilly November mornings!
See website Food Joy page for recipe deets, but here are ingredients:
Gluten-free quinoa + canned organic coconut milk + original chicken bone broth powder (omit for vegan) + chia seeds + gf shelled h**p seeds & flaxseed meal + fresh ginger + pure vanilla extract + ground turmeric, cinnamon, cardamon, nutmeg, sea salt & black pepper + maple syrup or raw honey (nonvegan) + raisins (optional).
Topped here with toasted coconut chips + pumpkin seeds + hazelnuts + extra raisins.

☀️ NEW BLOG POST ☀️ for
MOTIVATION MEDICINE: How to Stay Motivated When Everything Seems to be Going Wrong
I was recently interviewed for an online magazine and the first question asked was how I keep myself motivated, “even when everything seems to be going wrong”. We’ve all been there, haven’t we? Motivation waxes and wanes, and it can be especially demoralizing — and easy to throw in the towel — when you feel like you are turning your wheels and just not getting anywhere.
I certainly don’t have all the answers — for myself let alone anyone else. But I do have a personal prescription that seems to keep me pluggin’ along, even when the going gets tough...
