What’s for lunch? Did you know that you can train your mind/body to crave healthy foods? Yup! Absolutely! Not too long ago, I would crave foods like fries, and even chicken nuggets, which I haven’t eaten in a really long time. I tend to spend a lot of time thinking and when I realized what I had been craving, it made me wonder why. Why would I crave chicken when I don’t eat meat? Why would I crave foods I haven’t touched in years? So, I started looking back to what I was eating in the past few months and I realized it’s not what I’m eating but what I’m NOT eating. I had been neglecting to eat my greens! So I started putting at least 1 head of romaine every morning in my smoothies. Then, during the day, I would aim to eat another one, alternating or adding kale, spinach, bok choy and fresh herbs. It didn’t take long that my digestion got better, my gut started feeling better and I stopped craving unhealthy foods and craving healthy, vibrant living foods. The saying one apple a day keeps the doctor away should say: 1lb of greens per day keeps the doctor away! EAT YOUR GREENS! . . . . . #healthyfood #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedliving #plantbasedfamily #plantbasedpower #instagood #instavegan #hclfrv #weightloss #foodporn #plantbasedlifestyle #plantbasednutrition #rawvegan #rawvegansofig #leakygut #rawveganlife #chronicillness #pms #rawfood #govegan #rawesome #fit #chronicillnesswarrior  #instafit #instafitness #food #diet #lifestyle #crudivore (at Moncton, New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNDJcW1pO0f/?igshid=10wupr32moaqi

Have you ever made the relish from @rawfoodromance volume 1 book? Have you ever made her dehydrated veggie patties? If not, you’re missing out big time! This was my first time trying homemade raw relish and I must say I’m in love! I made a double or triple batch (not sure how much I made lol) and I’ve been eating the patties and relish as a snack on the go. I’m in love! It’s so good and sweet and spicy, fresh and oh so good! Seriously, ya gotta try it! By the way, I’m not paid to do this post and no one asked me to post about it either. I just post what I love and I love to share! Go check her stuff out, it’s 1000% worth every penny! The kitchen is not my friend, so I need recipes to help me. I bought all her books so I can never run out of ideas. She is so talented, just like her mama! I ❤️ you Lissa and please, no matter what hater say or do, please never stop creating such amazing books! I soooo look forward to your next one, even though I haven’t tried all of the recipes in your books lol, what can I say? I’m hooked! ❤️ . . . . . #rawfoodromance30daymealplan #rawvegan #rawfood #relish #veggiepatty #hotstuff #spicy #spicyrelish #cheapmeals #healthyrecipes #veganinspiration #plantbased #zucchini #cucumber #chiliflakes #freshmeal #healthyeating #mushrooms #redpeppers #datesfruit (at Moncton, New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Pdx5jDUvq/?igshid=it9rm9upmga4

Have you seen this film? If so, what did you think of it? I just heard about it this morning and I would love to see it with our teenage kids. Is it only available for purchase online? . . . . . . #unplannedmovie #unplannedpregnancy #abortion #teenpregnancy #unwantedpregnancy #baby #parenthood https://www.instagram.com/p/B3MpJhqjfCQ/?igshid=5dmeh1eiew1s

Did you know that, and I quote: “several popular breakfast foods, including Cheerios and Nature Valley products, continue to test positive for trace amounts of a controversial herbicide that may increase the risk of cancer” That herbicide is Glyphosate! The key ingredient in Roundup that is currently sprayed all over our food! The Environmental Working Group, which has links to the organics industry, found that all 21 of the products it tested had levels of glyphosate that were "higher than what EWG scientists consider protective for children's health." Now some of you will come and say this is bogus information, that the government would never do that to us, bla bla bla... 🤣 some people are soooo oblivious to the truth and choose to blindly believe in man, when God has created everything we need to survive and thrive, yet, man chooses to leave Him aside, and yes, so called Christians too, choose to blindly believe in man instead of looking for alternative solutions, being curious, search for the truth and speak the truth. What kind of world do we live in! I choose to be radical, dare to question, research, cause a ruckus and speak the truth! Why? Because I am a child of God and I choose to be different! I dare to question, I dare to research and I choose to make informed decisions. I DO NOT BLINDLY BELIEVE because that is plainly FOOLISH! DARE TO BE DIFFERENT! . . . #glyphosate #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedliving #plantbasedfamily #plantbasedpower #instagood #instavegan #hclfrv #dare #food #plantbasedlifestyle #plantbasednutrition #rawvegan #rawvegansofig #rawvegansofinstagram #rawveganlife #rawveganism @plantbased.rich #raw #rawfood #govegan #rawesome #fit #fitness #instafit #instafitness #food #roundup #lifestyle #crudivore (at New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3EtzYlj25P/?igshid=1ho1khmm8euwj

So proud of our #irishtwins ! They are growing up to be sweet responsible kids and we couldn’t be more proud!

The best way to stay your course is to surround yourself with like-minded people and practice self care. It’s important to exercise and take care of your mind, reduce stress. Just those 2 are quite intricate and can be complicated on their own. But one needs to try and find balance in the middle of the craziness of this world. Did you know that stress could be preventing you from losing weight? . . . . . #healthyfood #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedliving #plantbasedfamily #plantbasedpower #instagood #instavegan #hclfrv #weightloss #food #plantbasedlifestyle #plantbasednutrition #rawvegan #rawvegansofig #rawvegansofinstagram #rawveganlife #rawveganism @plantbased.rich #raw #rawfood #govegan #rawesome #fit #fitness #instafit #instafitness #food #diet #lifestyle #crudivore (at New Brunswick / Nouveau-Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2yjtdcju52/?igshid=e10cjtl04ya6

Sometimes the best meals are the simplest ones. The goal is not to be perfect. The goal is to eat what is healthy and eat what you like. Eating raw has been quite a journey for me these past 2 years and I am so grateful for all the support I have from my family and friends. I have been dealing with a lot of gut issues for so many years and finally found this lifestyle that is healing my body once and for all. I have over 30 years of bad food choices that my body needs to heal from. It won’t happen overnight and it won’t happen in a year or 2. This is a lifelong journey that I am on my way to heal. I have to admit, I’m not perfect at it. Far from it! My first year being raw has been a roller coaster. I fell off the wagon so many times that I can’t even count on 2 hands. A dear friend of mine once told me: « it’s not how you fall that counts. It’s that you get up and keep going. » These words have been my rock and will continue to be because when I have moments of weakness and fall, I know I didn’t fail. Falling off the wagon is not failing. It’s learning. So, get up, dust off and do better next time. That’s how you succeed in the long run. Don’t give up, continue to try! Don’t stop! Don’t reach for perfection cause it’ll never come. Instead, reach for betterment. Baby steps baby, baby steps! Also one last thing: remember to always be grateful. . Thank you @plantbased.rich For always being by my side. For always encouraging me to be the best version of myself and for pushing me to be better. Thank you @fullyrawkristina and @rawfoodromance For being my guides and for always being there for me. Thank you to all my friends, family and fans. I love you! .

I get asked all the time: “Where do you get your protein? Where do you get all your vitamins? I used to think I didn’t have to supplement because I get my vitamins and minerals AND protein from the food I eat: fruits, veggies, nuts & seeds. Well, a friend @the.sparkly.ceo one day made a great presentation about that and I realized that all the food I buy at the grocery store is nutrient-deprived because of mass-production. If you don’t grow your own garden, then you absolutely need to supplement, no matter what diet or lifestyle you do. We live in a world full of toxines, land that is overused, not given the proper time to regenerate, and the result we get is food that is picked too early, food that lacks the nutrition it should technically have. I’m not a ritual taker, where I religiously take my vitamins, cause I tend to forget. But I make a conscious decision to at least make an effort and take them when I think of it. So, yes, even as a raw vegan, I do supplement. That is because I don’t have access to nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables in stores here in Canada. . . . . . #healthyfood #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedliving #plantbasedfamily #plantbasedpower #instagood #instavegan #hclfrv #weightloss #food #plantbasedlifestyle #plantbasednutrition #rawvegan #rawvegansofig #rawvegansofinstagram #rawveganlife #rawveganism @plantbased.rich #raw #rawfood #govegan #rawesome #fit #fitness #fruits #veggies #food #diet #lifestyle #juiceplus https://www.instagram.com/p/B2hIF0rj1xp/?igshid=1j3wh5m933b19

I had an amazing salad for dinner. It was huge and full of goodness! Thanks to my dear friends @fullyrawkristina and @rawfoodromance who are my 2 idols on this journey I’m on, I get to literally stuff myself and not feel guilty or sick because it’s all raw foods. I love this way of eating! I’m still not 100% solid. I still slip once in a while, but at least I know I’m on the right track and I can always come back to the drawing table and not feel guilty. Thank you my dearest Kristina and Lissa for being beacons in this lifestyle. Thank you to my husband @plantbased.rich for being on this journey with me! Thank you for always being there for me. I love you girls so so much!

Last weekend, I had the blessing to travel with my husband. We took advantage of the situation and spent some quality time together. After over 12 years of being with you @richard.lefevre74 I can still say to this day that I love you more than words can express! It’s soooo important to take the time to do some activities and be present. After all he’s called my better half for a reason 😜 I appreciate every moment spent with you and I look forward to many more road trips to come mon Amour! ❤️ 😘 (at Oromocto, New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1vrY2sDK_t/?igshid=aniyit9hsbxa
