The long awaited Maca Powder Pancakes are here folks! Ever since I shared this photo on Instagram, friends and followers have been messaging me asking for the recipe! I’m even shocked myself at how easy these are to make. The maca powder makes the recipe sound exotic or “extra”, but I just love adding it in because of the toffee/honeycomb flavour to it! (oh, and the health benefits too, I suppose!) ;) The recipe is super simple, and it’s actually a slight variation of this vegan ...

Why I Started Drinking Wheatgrass Juice Regularly | Health Benefits + Smoothie Recipe
The health benefits of wheatgrass is a topic I’ve been wanting to share with you for a while now. At first, I wanted to integrate it into a recipe like wheatgrass waffles, but contemplated just how appetizing that might sound to you, let alone how appetizing it sounded to me! I personally love the taste of bitter greens and earthy flavours. Green smoothies and juices are almost always the options I opt for both at home and when I travel. I don’t think I’ve met a green drink I didn’t like ...
Kimchi + Garbanzo Toast | Probiotics, Protein + Microgreens
Here’s a fun fact; I’m not always in the mood to cook. Sometimes I’m feeling it, sometimes I’m not. On the days where I’m required to cook for brand collaborations or recipe developments I may be working on, I really have to be feeling it. Feeling creative, that is. Don’t get me wrong, I love to cook. So much so that I rarely #mealprep. I just love having different foods every day, and I actually enjoy cooking! I always have. ...
Coconut Kefir Chia Pudding Recipe | Simple + Easy Vegan Breakfast
The coconut kefir revolution has arrived, and I’m hoping it’s here to stay! Ever since I shared this post on my instagram account @inspiredbynick, friends and followers from across the world (quite literally), have been messaging me about it. All of my honest opinions are written here for you. And we may as well cut straight to the chase... I love this product! Here is a direct link to the Coconut Kefir Dairy Free Milk by President's Choice. Note, I personally would not drink it ...
The New Green Goddess Bowl | Healthy Fat, Fiber + Protein
GREEN! My favourite of all the colours. Actually, it was my grandmother’s favourite, too. And it also happens to be the colour of my birthstone, and of my favourite types of foods! Cruciferous, crunchy, flavourful, high in fibre and healthy fats. Just give me #ALLTHEGREENS, please! It’s mid March, daylight savings time was this weekend, and new year’s resolutions feel like they were set ages ago. Getting more steps in, nurturing friendships, drinking more water… whatever the ...
Simple (but Delicious) Oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts Recipe (V, GF)
I can’t think of another vegetable I may like more than brussel sprouts. Well, maybe spaghetti squash. Maybe. But brussel sprouts are up there! Let’s just get that cleared up. On instagram today, as part of a Whole Foods campaign, I shared how this little vegetable #MakesMeWhole! ...
Winter Berry Dessert Smoothie Recipe (V, Veg)
I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I am a self-proclaimed smoothie bowl enthusiast and aficionado. Summer or winter, I love me my smoothies! There’s my weekday morning smoothie recipe that I usually prepare the night before I head into the office. This lets me grab and go in the mornings without adding time to my already hectic early sunrise schedule. Then there are my weekend smoothies that usually take form in bowls, enjoyed with a spoon, and topped with plenty of sweet and savoury ...
Protein-Packed Vegan Pancakes to Comfort You this Winter (V, Veg)
Last month I shared a photo of these fluffy, vegan pancakes that are packed with protein + other nutrients on my instagram account @inspiredbynick. You liked, you commented, and you warmed my heart! I love this recipe, especially on a cold winter Sunday. So to finally be able to share it with you after the 12 Days of Xmas whirlwind I shared in December, just makes me happy. ...
New Year, New Bowl
Happy new year, everyone!! I hope you all had a great celebration with your loved ones this past weekend! S and I have this annual NYE tradition where we stay in and watch three movies back-to-back throughout the day. We make ourselves a “fancy” wine + candle-lit dinner and we stay up till midnight to toast to the new year. All while in our pyjamas, of course! ...
