PINEAPPLE BLOOD ORANGE MOCKTAIL 🍍🍊 How bea PINEAPPLE BLOOD ORANGE MOCKTAIL 🍍🍊 

How beautiful are blood oranges? 😍

I’ve been playing around with mocktails and I think this might be one of my faves! 

Here’s the how to:

1/2 cup pineapple chunks
Juice of 2 blood oranges
1-2 tsps raw honey
1/2 cup coconut milk
Sparkling water
Ice

In a glass or cocktail shaker, add the pineapple, blood orange juice and honey. Muddle until the pineapple is mashed.

Pour in the coconut milk and stir. With a fine mesh sieve or strainer, place on top of a glass and pour about half of the pineapple mixture into it and use a spoon to get the juices out. Repeat with another glass.

Add ice to the glass and top with sparkling water. Garnish with a slice of blood orange. 

Enjoy! 💛 

* you can add a pinch of sea salt
* you can eat the muddled fruit or add a tsp or 2 to your drink!
* use pineapple juice if you prefer

I mean…look at this baking section at @naturescanada 😍 They literally have ALL you need for all lifestyles. Whether you’re gluten-free, dairy-free or just looking for some healthier options, they have you covered! 

Extracts: Look for extracts with no artificial flavours or colours

Flours - These are some of my favs: cassava, coconut, almond, spelt and a gluten-free blend. I like to use rolled oats a lot too and you can make your own oat flour with them.

Chocolate - I use cacao powder, allergen friendly chocolate chips and chocolate bars (broken up into chunks).

Fats - Grass-fed butter (salted or unsalted) and coconut oil.

Eggs - locally sourced goodness! 🤗

Sweeteners - Maple syrup, honey, cane sugar and coconut sugar. 

Liquids - I like to use unsweetened coconut milk from a carton or can.

And just for fun, marshmallows! 🤭

Remember, it’s not about being perfect. It’s about making better choices and ENJOYING life! ❤️ 

What are some of your favourite ingredients to bake with!?

PRODUCT SWAPS PART 3: Cooking! Ok ok this one is PRODUCT SWAPS PART 3: Cooking!

Ok ok this one is definitely a favourite for me! 👩🏻‍🍳

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the spices section @naturescanada 😍 I mean, what don’t they have? Having so many amazing options to choose from makes me feel confident I’m making healthy choices for me and my fam. 🤗 

So let’s dive right in.

Cooking oils - I know this is a hot topic but these are the things I cook with. Greeks (like me lol) have been using olive oil forevvveeerrr so I’m going to also use it foreva because it’s a part of my culture. 😉 Avocado oil, coconut oil, grass-fed butter and ghee. When buying olive oil and avocado oil, look for darker glass bottles to prevent oxidation. Also, don’t be afraid of butter! 🤗 Grass-fed butter is packed with healthy fats and fat soluble vitamins. Ghee is great too. Ghee is made by melting butter. It gets separated into liquid fats and milk solids. The milk solids get removed and then voila you have ghee! 

I personally don’t buy vegetable oils like canola, sunflower oil, etc. They are highly refined and processed and just no bueno for me. 🙅🏻‍♀️

Spices - make sure to read labels! You would I be surprised at what gets added to spices. If you’re buying dried dill, the ingredients should just be dill. 

Salt - same thing as spices…there should only be salt as the ingredient no fillers or any other nonsense! I’m a big fan of @redmondrealsalt ! 

As always, let me know if you have any questions. 🤗
