🍤🎍Shrimp Pad-Thai (Gluten & Grain Free, Paleo, Low-Carb) . . When I switched over to an IBS friendly diet many year ago, pad-Thai was one of the dishes I knew I was going to miss most. . . 👩‍🎓 I fell in love with pad-Thai during my university days and always found myself gravitating towards Thai restaurants when I ate out. Something about the combo of spices and flavours is just magical in Thai cuisine. . . 👩‍🍳 So, since depriving myself of the foods I love most is never an option, it was important that I had a grain free version of pad-Thai that I could easily create in my kitchen whenever a craving hit. . . Check out this delicious Shrimp Pad-Thai with simple and whole food ingredients. It’s one of my favourite recipes to date 🙂 . . 👉 Get the recipe (LINK IN BIO)👈 . . #JDsKitchen
There's a new probiotic in town and it's made it to my list of supplements for optimal health 💛 . . 💊 ProbioMed™ 50 is a high potency, shelf stable, broad-spectrum probiotics formulation containing 50 billion CFU per serving. . . 🔟 It consists of ten of the most highly researched probiotic strains, with each strain and specific CFU count being fully disclosed. These are robust strains that are capable of surviving the harsh journey to the intestines and are able to attach to the intestinal walls, where they can grow and function effectively to support GI health. . . The survivability of the strains is further assisted by delayed release technology as well as unique moisture-resistant, desiccant-lined packaging. . . 👉NO NEED FOR REFRIGERATION - making this probiotic convenient for travelers and anyone on the go. . . ✅Gluten free ✅Dairy free ✅Vegan ✅NON-GMO . . I recommend taking a quality probiotic (like this one) daily or every other day. If you're traveling, fighting a cold, on antibiotics, or treating a condition, you may need to increase your dose. Take with or without food. . . ❓As always, I'm happy to answer your questions on supplements. DM me or leave me a message below.
🌰🍌 Grain Free Oatmeal (Paleo, Low-Carb, Gut Friendly) . . If you’re looking for a warm and comforting breakfast with whole food ingredients, I highly recommend this grain free oatmeal (a.k.a. “NOatmeal). . . 💪 It’s packed with healthy fats from raw nuts and contains whole eggs which gives your body the protein and fuel it needs to conquer the day! This nutrient-dense “NOatmeal” will leave you feeling satisfied and fueled for hours. . . 🥰 The BF and I usually save “NOatmeal” for the weekend since it takes a bit of time to prepare. BUT if you want to incorporate it into your work week, make a batch ahead of time and store it in an air-tight container in the fridge. I suggest eating it within 4 days. . . INGREDIENTS: (serves 2) 1/4 cup raw pecans 1/4 cup raw walnuts 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 3 pastured eggs 1/4 cup coconut or almond milk, unsweetened 1 banana (ripe) 2 tbsp almond butter Pinch of sea salt Toppings: (per serving) 1/2 banana, sliced 1 tbsp raw pumpkin seeds . . 👉 LINK IN BIO for full recipe 👈 . . #JDsKitchen
🍌🍫Chocolate Chunk Banana Muffins . . I got 99 problems and dunking these muffins into espresso is one! . . Good thing I’m quick to eat them. That solves my problem fast 😁 . . 💛 These delicious gluten free paleo muffins make for a great grab-and-go breakfast or snack. Loaded with all the good stuff including quality protein and healthy fats that will keep you fueled until your next meal. . . 💡You can make a batch, freeze them and grab one whenever you need quick and healthy fuel. They thaw out pretty quick. Or store them in the fridge if you plan on consuming them within a week or so. . . INGREDIENTS: (12 medium sized muffins) 4 pastured eggs 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled 3 ripe bananas, mashed 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 cup coconut flour, sifted @rootalive 1/2 cup almond flour, sifted 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp sea salt 1/2 dark chocolate bar (85% or higher, chopped into chunks) @greenandblacks . . INSTRUCTIONS: 👉Preheat oven to 350. Grease muffin tin with coconut oil or use liners. 👉Beat eggs in bowl, mash bananas with a fork on a plate, then add all wet ingredients together and mix thoroughly. 👉Mix all dry ingredients in a separate bowl then add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and continue to mix until a thick smooth batter is formed. 👉Add chocolate chunks into the batter and mix (save some to add on top). 👉Fill muffin tins 3/4 of the way full with batter. Top with remaining chocolate chunks. 👉Bake for 18-20 minutes. Let cook before removing from tin. . . #JDsKitchen
🥬🍵 Italian Sausage & Kale Soup . . If you’re following a low-carb or keto diet and someone tells you that you need processed foods like breads, pastas and cereal grains in order to get adequate amounts of fiber in your diet, hit them with this fact … . . ❗One serving of kale contains more fiber than 3 slices of whole wheat bread! . . Don’t forget to throw in a “KALE YEAH!” at the end 😎 . . INGREDIENTS: 6 slices pastured bacon (diced) 2 pounds Italian sausage (casing removed) 1 tablespoon avocado oil 1 small yellow onion (diced) 4 cloves garlic (minced) 1 large sweet potato (peeled and cut into small cubes) 4 cups chicken broth (store-bought or homemade) 4 cups filtered water 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (I made my own blend using oregano, basil, rosemary, & fennel seeds) 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 4-5 large kale leaves (chopped) 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (canned) 1 lemon (juice only) . . 👉LINK IN BIO for full recipe. . . #JDsKitchen
🍵🌱Creamy Matcha Green Tea Latte . . Did you know❓When you consume matcha, you consume all of green tea’s benefits in the most concentrated form - amplifying the health benefits of this superfood. Matcha is loaded with polyphenol compounds called catechins, a type of antioxidant, making it a powerful anti-aging tea. . . ⚕️ In addition, studies have linked green tea to a variety of health benefits, like helping to prevent heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer, and even encouraging weight loss. . . INGREDIENTS: (serves 1) 1 cup almond or coconut milk (unsweetened) 1 tsp matcha tea powder @organictraditions 1 scoop collagen powder @designsforhealth.canada 1-2 tsp raw honey or a pinch of stevia 2 tbsp hot water . . INSTRUCTIONS: 👉 Heat coconut/almond milk in a pan. 👉 Add 1 tsp. matcha powder to a small bowl, and pour in 2 tablespoons of the hot water (hot, not boiling, since matcha is delicate). Using the back of a spoon, stir the matcha powder into a paste. 👉Use a hand-held frother or a blender to combine the matcha powder paste, collagen, heated coconut/almond milk and honey. 👉 Pour into a mug and enjoy! . . #JDsKitchen
❓Have you ever considered adding more collagen to your diet to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, support your bones & joints or improve your gut health? . . 🍖The best dietary sources of collagen are from inedible parts of animals, like bones and cartilage. The majority of Western diets aren't rich in collagen since these animal parts tend to be discarded in food preparation and cooking. . . Since animal food sources of collagen are less used, supplementation is an easy and accessible option to boost your intake. . . The collagen found in most supplements is hydrolyzed, or separated, into amino acids making it more bioavailable (meaning its ability to be absorbed through the intestine and utilized in the body). . . 📑 Studies have found that collagen in food has less bioavailability, compared to hydrolyzed collagen which is why collagen supplementation is very popular these days. . . 3️⃣ Whole Body Collagen contains a unique blend of THREE patented collagen peptides supported by clinical research showing their efficacy for supporting collagen production, bone strength, joint health and integrity, skin elasticity and more. . . 👨‍🔬Basically, this supplement is backed by science and has been proven to work. Studies have shown reduction of wrinkles in just 4 weeks of use, regeneration of joint cartilage, increase in BMD (Bone Mineral Density) in women suffering from osteopenia and osteoporosis + more amazing results! . . 🙋‍♀️Whole Body Collagen is officially my go-to collagen powder - and I'm excited to finally share it with you! . . Whole Body Collagen helps to support: . . 🦴Proper bone density (mass & quality) 👧Healthy skin elasticity, thickness, hydration & appearance 💅Nail health 🏃‍♀️Joint tissue health & function involving cartilage, tendons & ligaments 💪Muscle strength 💩GI tract health . . 👉 BUY Whole Body Collagen (LINK IN BIO) 👈 . . #JDsKitchen

A few great ways to add cauliflower “rice” to your menu… 🍚Use it as a side to a salmon fillet, juicy steak, chicken breast or another protein source. 🍚Use it as a base for your stir-fry and/or curry dishes. 🍚Top it with some heart-warming chili. 🍚Eat it on its own as a mid-day snack — cauliflower “rice” tastes great cold too, so just grab the leftovers from the fridge and enjoy! . .
