evepostappleOnce upon a time, there was a woman named Eve, who, unable to resist the luring temptation of a fragrant orchard, took a bite of forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. Perhaps Eve was bored. Perhaps she was ovulating and had a desperate craving for something sweet. Perhaps life in the little garden was becoming stressful or claustrophobic. Perhaps she felt out of control or lacked passion in her life and in order to numb her emotions or soothe herself from Adam's lack of attention or his ambivalence in starting a family, she chose to indulge. Perhaps Eve was an emotional eater. But as Eve soon discovered, neither the bite, nor the whole fruit fulfilled her as she had hoped. Not only did she realize she was naked but that she had contempt for the way she looked. Perhaps Eve suffered with body dismorphia. Eve tried to stop eating the forbidden fruit and eventually avoided eating altogether but that didn't work and she ended up eating until she could no longer breathe. The point of this is that Eve lost her intuitive ability to nourish herself. She no longer had balance in her life and was willing to do any and everything to get that back.

Maybe Eve didn't exist. Maybe the stories that were told are not as important as the stories we tell ourselves.

This blog is dedicated to creating new stories based on the philosophies of whole body nutrition, self-love, intuition, fitness and yoga.

In my journey I have sought to uncover the knowledge and balance which have brought me to a greater awareness of health and this is what I wish to share with you.

    Zain’s Peanut Butter & Banana Creme Vegan Pancakes

    By special request, I am posting this recipe for my vegan pancakes for my beautiful friend and teammate (you know who you are) who requested a vegan version of my favourite breakfast staple…CLEAN PANCAKES.

    Can they be made egg-free and vegan?  Of course!  They are delicious, clean and packed with healthy, bio-available plant proteins.

    Ingredients:

    56g Uncontaminated Oats

    1 Scoop Sunwarrior Protein Powder OR Vegan Protein Powder Of Your Choice 

    1 Tsp Baking Powder

    7-10 Drops Vanilla Creme Stevia

    3/4 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk

    1 Tsp Coconut Oil

    Canola Cooking Spray

    For a thicker pancake, add:

    1 Flax Egg - (1/2 Tbsp Ground Flax + 1.5 Tbsp Water, set aside for 3-5 minutes)

    Peanut Butter Banana Creme:

    1/4 Banana 

    1/2 Tbsp Peanut Butter

    1 Tbsp Light Coconut Milk OR Unsweetened Almond Milk 

    Directions:

    1. If using ‘flax egg’ combine ground flax in water an set aside

    2. Mix dry ingredients together until combined

    3. Add all wet ingredients (including ‘flax egg’ if you are using it) to the dry ingredients (add a little water if the batter is too thick to obtain the consistency you desire)

    4. Heat sprayed skillet and pour 1/2 pancake batter onto the grill.  Heat for two to three minutes or until edges are slightly browned then flip.  Repeat with the remaining half of the batter

    5. Meanwhile, using your magic bullet or food processor, blend ingredients for peanut butter creme and set aside

    6. Once pancakes are cooked and plated, spread peanut butter creme over top and serve with maple syrup or sugar-free maple syrup

    MDR’s (SC 8, PR 1 (depending on your values for protein powder), F 2 (if using flax 3, FR 1/4)
