Sesame Mylk. Packed with Plant-Based Calcium & Protein.

I used organic raw sesame seeds from Montreal’s Prana Bio, however you can use any non-roasted sesame seeds available. Cheesecloth can be purchased at many health food stores, and speciality food shops, or ordered online. I got mine at PA Nature! Soak the sesame seeds for 8-hours. Do this overnight, or start soaking in the morning – […]

2 days ago by daniellelevynutrition While I’ve spent a lot of time in Central America, this was my first trip to Guatemala. Up in the mountains, I saw farmers working hard to grow food, flowers, and cacao for sale. People who engage with the Earth directly. Whose reliance on the land is part of their daily experience. We in the urban industrialized centres live completely different lives - yet we are still entirely dependent on the land, and on our fellow humans. Whose hands grew the fruits/coffee etc. that we consume each day. What a stunningly beautiful thing! To be connected this way. Whenever I
4 days ago by daniellelevynutrition Hiking the mountains around Lake Atitlan was pure joy to me. Surrounded by the natural world, meeting ‘strangers‘ in the streets - and smiling in recognition of our shared humanness. Yet, we who live in consumer-driven western cultures spend so little time engaging with the world this way. Instead, we value hustling, and then celebrate recovering from the hustle. When what really brings us sustainable contentment is loving relationships, meaningful work, and leisure time. Being in beautiful Guatemala, and throughout all my adventures (grateful) - I am reminded how the slower, more intuitive ways of living seem to flow harmoniously
2 weeks ago by daniellelevynutrition Feeding plants to my peeps still makes me happy. . While I’ve taken a break from the food blogging ting, to focus on other projects that get me jazzed - I was re-inspired to cook for a beautiful long-time homie @victoria_bauman - who came to town.It felt good to be back in edible creation mode! V is raw vegan, so I actually did zero ‘cooking’ - it was all food processing, chopping, and blending! The ‘sushi’ was composed of: - Nori - Carrots - Cucumber - Red pepper - Purple cabbage - Fresh mint - Soaked raw cashews/white miso/apple cider
3 days ago by daniellelevynutrition Morning tea meditation. Feeling the warm mug in my hands. I am present. Enjoying each sip of tea. I am content. I look up at my surroundings. Grateful to be here on this beautiful Earth, our Home. Thinking of the people who grew these tea leaves, swimming in my cup. Nourishing me. I re-member that I am connected to many hands, and to the land. Part of a whole cycle which may not be seen by the eye, but is felt by the spirit. ♡ . . . #ecopsychology #earthlove #morningmeditation
2 weeks ago by daniellelevynutrition Peacing out to GUATEMALAAA! Hugely grateful for this reset time in the warm sun ( #privilege ) and acknowledge the fossil fuels I am using to fly me there (thank you Earth for selflessly absorbing that!). Taking the week off this lil screen - but I’ll reach back with plenty of visual nourishment to share! ✨P.s Even if you’re not going away, give yourself a F’ing break anyway okay? STAY UP fam . . .
23 hours ago by daniellelevynutrition We are REmembering what it means to be human on this beautiful Earth, our Home. Re-learning how to be in a healthy, reciprocal, and sustainable relationship with her. The way indigenous communities lived for centuries, and many still do. This reconnecting is a physical, mental, emotional, spiritual aka wholistic process. One that is healing for us humans, and for the Earth itself! In what ways do YOU enjoy connecting with the natural world each day? Something as simple (and free) as going for a walk in nature can make us feel heaps better! Mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We ARE
5 days ago by daniellelevynutrition Swimming in the magical volcanic waters of Lake Atitlán! Even got to play with a school of kids. It is moments/living memories like these that are deeply valuable to me in this life. Making me feel even more connected to the beautiful Earth, our Home. We in the urban-industrialized Western world often make the notion of contentment so complicated. As if we need to achieve or attain x, y, z, until we allow ourselves to experience JOY. Yet, we are fully capable of this human experience now - in perhaps more simple ways. ♡
1 hour ago by daniellelevynutrition Food gratitude meditation. Thank you earth, soil, sun, water, tree, and farmers for gifting me with this nourishment. I savour the aroma, taste, and texture in each segment. Recognizing the resilience required for this plant to come to fruition, and arrive into my grateful hands. Giving me life, while connecting me to the land - where we all stand. . . . #wholism #ecopsychology #earthlove
