Banana Berry Smoothie

Banana Berry Smoothie Recipe

Published by Molly Catherine

This is my standby recipe for my banana berry smoothie. I always have these ingredients on hand, so if I’m feeling like a smoothie for breakfast instead of oatmeal, I’ll just quickly whip this together. If this is the only thing you’re having for breakfast and won’t eat again for an extended period of time then this recipe should be considered one portion. Otherwise, you can share this smoothie between two, and have something else to eat as well. Hope you enjoy! 🙂 Molly xx   Yields: 2 Servings Ingredients:  4 bananas 2 cups mixed berries 1/4 cup oats 1 tbsp shredded coconut 1 tsp chia seeds 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 cup almond milk 2 cups coconut water Directions:  Blend together all of the above ingredients until smooth. Divide into two jars and enjoy! __________ “I can’t think of anything better in the world to be but a vegan.” – Alicia Silverstone

Culver City Food Truck

Culver City Food Truck

Published by Molly Catherine

Irek and I decided we need to start checking out all the Vancouver food trucks. There are so many around the city and yesterday was our very first time trying one! We had some seriously epic salads from the Culver City food truck. Mine was full of rice noodles, kale, radishes, shredded beet, shredded carrot, hummus, etc. and topped with a super delicious lemon chia dressing. I highly recommend trying some of their deliciousness if you’re in the downtown core! The Culver City truck is usually parked on the corner of Thurlow and Hornby in Coal Harbour (check The Street Food App to confirm location). So, if you work downtown and are leaning towards a more plant-based diet, this is a great option for your lunches. I used to work 2 minutes away from where they’re located, and if I knew about them back then, I would have been eating there everyday! Super healthy, vegan, and very tasty… what more do you need?! Have a beautiful weekend. Molly xx __________ “By eating meat we share the responsibility of …

Nuba Restaurant

Published by Molly Catherine

Irek and I had lunch in Kitsilano yesterday at a Lebanese restaurant called Nuba. I loved it as soon as we walked in… The ceilings were super high, the paint was chipped, and the floor tiles looked like they had been there for decades. It was rustic and felt like we truly were in a small restaurant in the Middle East. Nuba’s menu is not fully vegan, but there were quite a few good options for us to choose from. I absolutely love falafel… Well, more precisely, I love chickpeas. Roasted chickpeas, hummus, chickpea wraps, chickpeas on salad, in salad, on the side…. you name it. I’ll eat it. So you can imagine how happy I was when I received my plate of food, consisting of chickpeas 3 different ways! YES! If you’re in Kitsilano and craving some healthy Lebanese food (good price + large quantity of food), this is most definitely the place for you! Have a fabulous weekend. 🙂 Cheers, Molly xx __________ “I love living. I think that’s infectious. It is something …

What I Eat in a Day

Published by Molly Catherine

For breakfast I made some really delicious oat flour pancakes topped with berries and bananas. They’re super easy to make and very healthy. Normally we eat oatmeal for breakfast (90% of the time) but sometimes it’s nice to switch it up for pancakes, or a smoothie to keep things interesting. Lunch in our house usually consists of avo toast and a bowl of soup. Here we have exactly that; avo toast w/ beet hummus and broccoli soup. So yummy! Irek and I are still on our Indian food kick (we’ve been obsessed for the last 2 years and make some sort of Indian dish twice a week consistently). Aloo Ghobi is the current fave right now, starring… potatoes, cauliflower and of course, mushrooms. Mmmmmm. In addition to these 3 meals I also had 3 litres of water w/ lemon, a coffee, a cold-pressed green juice, and a few slices of watermelon. Hope you guys found what I eat in a day interesting! I love being vegan, and eating fully plant-based. There are so many amazing …

Heirloom Vegetarian

Published by Molly Catherine

Since it was another stunning day in Vancouver yesterday, Irek and I headed to Kitsilano to soak up the sun. It was so great to see so many people out enjoying the weather, playing volleyball, basketball, walking their dogs etc. Really awesome energy… I love where we live! After we strolled around for a while we decided to grab dinner at my FAVOURITE restaurant in all of Vancouver. It’s called Heirloom Vegetarian and it’s sooo good! Irek got his usual… a veggie burger with yam fries (so predictable lol), and I had a delicious kale caesar salad. My salad was amazing – it had beet chips, capers, cornbread croutons, cashew parmesan, and the best vegan caesar sauce. Mmmmmmm. You guys must go if you live in Vancouver!!!
