Vegan Pumpkin Soup Recipe | Pinterest-Worthy Fall Flavours

October 15, 2018 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

Ahhhh, the pumpkin.  A symbol of autumn’s warm tones, halloween carvings, and festive fall flavours!  Every year around this time, my body always goes through a soup craze! You may have noticed this in my recent Indian Spiced Lentil Soup Recipe!  Give me lentils, give me vegetable broth, and in October, give me pumpkins!  Earlier this week I headed to a local pumpkin patch here in Ontario, Canada, with a friend (and fellow blogger), Soheila of @soheilaonline. Together we helped ...

Golden Mylk Turmeric Lattes | How to Make Them + Health Benefits

September 25, 2018 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

health-benefits-of-turmeric

One thousand percent, I used to think making turmeric lattes was just about adding a tsp of turmeric to warm, unsweetened almond milk.  No wonder I used to not like them.  But made correctly.... oh boy. Am I in for trouble this winter.  My relationship with turmeric is a funny thing. I can’t tolerate the taste of it alone, yet,  I have a teaspoon of it every day with a litre of water.  The flavour of it in recipes is completely different, especially in stir ...

Iced Maple Matcha Lattes | Easy Vegan Summer Drink Recipe

July 13, 2018 by Nick Joly 2 Comments

how-to-make-matcha-lattes

This week I was visiting family in Montreal, and if you’ve visited before, you know that Montreal summers can be scorchers! My mom had never tried matcha before, so on a day where even our eyelids were sweating from from the summer burn, I made us some iced matcha lattes to stay cool! While I’m a huuuuuge almond milk lover, Mom’s always been pretty finicky with it. The taste, the texture… something about it just never quite jived with her. So she was a little reluctant to try these iced ...

vegan-tikka-masala-recipe-gluten-free

About a week or so ago, I shared the recipe to this Vegan Chickpea Tikka Masala on my TV series with the feed feed. Our series is called Powerfully Plant Based, and I get to share fun recipes with both my audience and theirs via the feed feed website, and instagram channels! How fun, right?! I’m eternally grateful for the opportunity, and I love that I get to connect with all of you through video! A format I’ve slowly been working on for the past few months. I’m definitely excited as I ...

Superfood Smoothie Stacks to Help Alkalize Your Body

June 26, 2018 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

vegan-smoothie-recipe-easy-green-superfoods

Sometimes (usually on Sundays) I like to get fancy with my breakfasts. A couple layers of chia pudding, superfood smoothie, some coconut yogurt... you know, the usual. ;) My friends joke that with these layered chia cups and the endless smoothie bowls on my instagram page, that I should open a smoothie shack. I mean, I'm not saying that isn't a possibility... in the distant future maybe, where I'm retired, growing my own coconut trees, and living in Hawaii? Not a bad idea! ...

How to Make Perfect Ratatouille [Vegan + Gluten Free Recipe]

June 22, 2018 by Nick Joly 1 Comment

how-to-make-classic-ratatouille-vegan-gluten-free

Ratatouille. Oui! Merci! The French side of me that puts the “Joly” in Nick Joly, is very satisfied right now. Ratatouille combines my love of three things; vegetables, garlic, and French cuisine. It’s a dish that should be cherished - at least my French ancestors think so! Classic ratatouille is composed of cooked vegetables such as eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and peppers. ...

The Perfect Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

June 19, 2018 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

vegan-choc-chip-cookie-recipe

Ah. The chocolate chip cookie. Is there anything that reminds you of childhood more than dunking a chocolate chip cookie in a glass of milk? Only now, the cookies are more #begoodtoyourbody friendly, and the milk comes from almonds. Oh how we learn over the years. This is a recipe I’d been wanting to share with you for a while. I really took my time to perfect this recipe for you. And if I’m being perfectly honest, one of the things that’s kept me back from sharing it is the fact ...

Vegan Pesto Pizza with Fiddleheads, Avocado Chunks + Charred Asparagus | V, VEG

June 13, 2018 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

green-vegan-pizza-healthy-recipe

Not long ago, I was caught off guard when an interviewer asked me what my favourite comfort food was. For some reason I couldn’t think of a single food. How silly. Shouldn’t we all have an instant response to this question? I took a few seconds (which felt like hours as their video camera was recording me) to think about what my honest answer was. And I just blanked! “Next question!” Three hours later, boom. It hit me, like it always does (delayed). PIZZA!!! ...

Grocery shopping but 'leveled up' 💁🏻‍♂️🍄 y’all know that food shopping is basically my favourite hobby 😂. Over the past few weeks, I’ve told you about #MyHealthMyChoices by @MetroOntario and now I’m gonna show you just how easy it is to sort and find foods you love, while fitting within your dietary needs.
—
I always start in produce (naturally) and then jump straight to organic aisles for my fav snacks. Using the green labels in-store, I can identify (at a quick glance) which products are plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free. The My Health, My Choices program also allows me to scan product barcodes using the MyMetro app and search for exactly what I need, taking the whole experience to the next level 🙌🏼 ➡️ Swipe to see my shopping experience and what items I picked up at my local Metro. #Sponsored #MyMetro #Inspiredbynick
we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still taking time to settle in. there are some projects we wanna get done asap but can’t due to lockdown, so we’re just gonna go with the flow and enjoy the ride together 👬🏻 ps, that photo is from 9 years ago on one of our first dates
When you’re craving a burger but you also want a When you’re craving a burger but you also want a #meatless option 🙌🏼🍔 Organic Black Bean Fiesta Burgers made by yours truly 🍔💁🏻‍♂️when I was vegan I really had to get creative with a lot of my recipes, otherwise I’d be eating the same old bean salad every day… and bean salad doesn’t really taste like a burger when you’re craving a burger! Even though I’m not fully vegan anymore, I do still like to swap out meat as much as possible with other #plantbased options because that’s what works for me! 
With @metroontario's new program, MyHealth, MyChoices finding products that suit your dietary needs and lifestyles couldn't be easier. With almost 9,000 products labelled with nearly 50 different attributes like plant-based, fat-free, non-GMO, etc., you can easily find what works for you. So for this recipe, I looked for the green labels in-store, found the perfect Irresistibles organic black beans and extra virgin olive oil and whipped up a batch of patties that my heartmate and I devoured! (Tip: they also freeze well)! The recipe for them is on my blog (link in bio) and on Metro’s Instagram page and website! Hope you enjoy these if you decide to make them! #inspiredbynick  #MyHealthMyChoices #mymetro #sponsored

At-home yoga for the winnn! 🧘🏻‍♂️🌿✨ because even though supporting my local yoga studio looks different now than in the past (classes are all online or through their app), I can still feel good about being a paying member and doing a small part to #supportlocal. 
-
I am not THE poster child for supporting local, that’s just the truth, but I do what I can, where I can. Honestly, I do miss being in the hot studio where after a class I would be drenched and feeling so accomplished, ironically though, I’m surprisingly still drenched after a 90 min class at home, more so than I thought I would be! So I still feel good about getting my workout in, even if it’s different than being there in person. 
- 
Anyone who does yoga regularly like me knows a wet bag is essential after a good flow. The team at @forwardwithdesign have this awesome bag (I link to it in my stories) that I love--it’s super practical and I love the cute print! While I’m not getting as much use out of it as I’d like right now, it will definitely be coming with me to the studio when some of our restrictions lift and small businesses open up again!!
