APPLE JUICE

APPLE JUICE

The first cold-press juice I ever had was at Urban Herbivore. I was doing these classes across the street from them and after one sip of their apple-lemon juice I was hooked. I swapped out my coffee for this sweet concoction every morning.  I jazzed 

HORCHATA

HORCHATA

Horchata is a rice milk drink popular in South America and Mexico. Each country has their own version but the base is always rice milk. This recipe is quick and easy and closer to the Mexican version. You can even spike it with Rumchata or 

ELECTRIC ORANGE JUICE

ELECTRIC ORANGE JUICE

Okay, I know the filters in this photo clearly play a part in the electric look of the juice, but so does the ginger. This orange juice is packed with vitamins and a great pick-me-up for that mid-day hump. It is pulpy, so if you 

DANDELION TEA LATTE

DANDELION TEA LATTE

I love coffee, but this is a nice caffeine-free alternative. I use dandy blend. It tastes like instant coffee that’s a bit malty. This latte is sweet and creamy and the perfect caffeine-free beverage.

GREEN SMOOTHIE

GREEN SMOOTHIE

Smoothies are my favourite everyday dessert. I use kefir for its probiotic properties. It’s a fermented milk drink that has lots of good bacteria. Coconut oil has so many health benefits and when I first heard of adding it to a smoothie, I was skeptical, 

MANGO BASIL MIMOSA

MANGO BASIL MIMOSA

I will never be the girl sitting at a bar sipping bourbon while scoping out the scene. I’m the girl day drinking on the patio with the fruitiest cocktail on the menu. Now that I have had so many cocktails, I have taken my inspirations 

STRAWBERRY ROSEMARY COCKTAIL

STRAWBERRY ROSEMARY COCKTAIL

I love making summertime cocktails. This year I am obsessed with using sparkling wine and herbs. Strawberries are in season and can be used, but I tend to buy the frozen ones and use them as ice cubes in the drink.
