 | I'm so in love with these delicious and nutritious, on the go snacks or lunches! They are packed with healthy, plant based proteins, omega 3, fuelled with energy and fruit. As you may know, I usually don't mix fruit with anything else but I have noticed that my body can easily digest these babies! So I'm happy to have them, I feel fuelled, full and ready to go. We've been so busy in the new year with business meetings, getting healthier and reaching new goals. These have been great to bring along to eat in between meetings in an action packed day! |

 I had all of these ripe peaches (actually, they are nectarines) and I wanted to make something fun and delicious. So what is betting than peaches and cream or spicy, peachy pie!? This NiceCream is amazing and of course, cruelty free :)  After a few days in NYC, my body needed this amazing smoothie leaded with antioxidants, vitamins and nutrients. I don't really drink alcohol anymore but I had a few drinks in New York and I can tell you, my body does not like it! I woke up with a sore throat and it turned into a cold. I am feeding my body with lots of nutrients to help it heal and this smoothie has loads of health power, and it tastes amazing!  Dates are nature's candy. Nature's Caramel. They are purely amazing and perfect for dipping apples to create a healthy caramel apple!
Blend a handful of dates with a tsp of cinnamon and a bit of water until smooth!!  Never seen something so beautiful right?
SO SIMPLE! Cute a watermelon into full circular rounds and then slice into "Pizza Pieces" and top with all sorts of fruits!! Banana pepperoni, blueberry olives, Raspberry tomato, Coconut "Cheez" ;)  Theses are like, apple pie bites/ jelly donuts with an apple crunch.
Just slice a section off the top and bottom of 2 apples (like in the photo) and set aside. Chop up the rest of the apples into chunks and blend them in a food processor with 8- 10 dates and a tsp of cinnamon. Blend until soft and mixed! You can eat them like sandwiches this way or like crackers loaded with the apple pie filling! It is probably easier to eat that way! AMAZING!  Craving a chocolatey treat? Have this amazing yet simple creation for breakfast!
BLEND- 5-8 frozen bananas Almond milk or water 1 scoop (2 tbsp) Carob powder Garnished with Coconut palm sugar and coconut! NOM NOM NOM  This is literally, apple pie in a jar.... for breakfast :D
Blend- 4 organic apples 5 dates 1 cup Almond milk or water 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp all spice MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM  I am so IN LOVE with Banana Ice Cream. It is so amazingly delicious, healthy and guilt free AND it doesn't hurt any animals for our pleasure :) I can't wait to make it again for breakfast tomorrow!
In a food processor blend until smooth: 5-8 bananas inch of Vanilla Bean or 1 tsp pure Vanilla Extract In a NutriBullet (or similar) blend: 5 dates 2 tsp pure maple syrup 3/4 cup of hot water Swirl both mixtures together and enjoy! ✌️  KEEP IT SIMPLE AND TROPICAL!!

In a food processor blend until smooth: 5-8 bananas inch of Vanilla Bean or 1 tsp pure Vanilla Extract In a NutriBullet (or similar) blend: 10 dates 2 tsp carob powder 3/4 cup of hot water Swirl both mixtures together and enjoy! Garnish with raw cacao nibs and coconut palm sugar✌️  I've been wanting to make pure banana ice cream for a while.. but I never had a food processor. I borrowed my mom's and found about 12 organic bananas for 50% that were perfectly ripe. [ripe is when they are speckled! cost me $2]. Now, lots of people think "OMG Bananas have so many calories!". I don't count calories, and I eat as much fruit and veg as I want. They are the purest, healthiest things you could ever eat, right from mother nature. Eating raw fruit and veg is how she intended "food" to be. Other people think if you eat too many bananas, you will get potassium poisoning. Before you freak out, please do proper research. Here is some good info on that topic from the banana pro. 300+ bananas in 30 seconds is impossible... plus I used about 4 in this AMAZING breakfast. I made it on my birthday, BEST birthday breakfast.  Strawberry banana ice cream/ smoothie with dark chocolate shreds? Looks like dessert, but I had it for breakfast :D
In a blender, mix 1 Banana, 1 cup frozen strawberries, 3/4 cup almond milk and 1 tbs chia seeds. You can pour the almond milk slowly as you blend to keep it thick. Pour in a bowl and let it sit for 15 minutes in the fridge or freezer [depending how you want the consistency to be]. I shredded some pure dark chocolate on top. You could also sprinkle shredded coconut! YUM! Eat with a spoon and be FILLED WITH ENERGY!  Juice, Juice, Juice!! I love Juice!!
Fill your body with PURE nutrients the quickest, more efficient way possible!! Throw all this in your juicer and voila! - 2 small beets - 1 carrot - 5 kale leaves - 1/3 cucumber - 1 Gala Apple - 1 small lemon - Handful of Parsley  Seriously one of the BEST Juices I have ever had! It was so flavourful and refreshing!! Everything in it is organic! I can't wait to be in California so I can buy LOCAL again!!! Nothing grows in the snow :P
JUICE THIS: - 3 kale leaves - 1/4 of a Cucumber - 1 Gala Apple - 2 carrots - 1 lemon (ends cut but not peeled) - inch of ginger root DRINK UP!  Looks nasty right? I know. It tastes like a regular smoothie though! What gives it the dark colour? A mix of spirulina and berries. (blueberries & blackberries). All healthy good stuff!! Don't judge a drink by its colour. Good one, Sammi ! ;P I also used persimmons in this shake. They are super sweet if they are ripe so you probably only need 1/2 of one or a small one!! Click here to learn more about persimmons and how to prepare them!  These little exotic fruits are quite delicious!! Very sweet and tropical tasting. The fruit is found mostly in asian countries but is spreading around more as the years go on. I recommend eating as much local produce as possible but once in a while its fun to try things! (this is another reason I must move to California!! Canadian winters have NO local fresh produce!!). Persimmons are rich in dietary fiber, vitamin c, potassium and beta-carotene. Here is how to eat it! You can eat the skin, just wash it well!  Trying to stay healthy this winter? Me too. That is why I've been loading up with juices, smoothies, Arbonne shakes and raw salads! Getting all the nutrients possible from organic fruits and veggies!
Today I decided to do a simple juice [maybe because I have to make a grocery trip and I had no other option :P]. Using all very healthy, beneficial ingredients, I juiced 3 carrots, 3 full celery sticks, 1/2 a lemon (cut off the peel) and a 1/2 inch chunk of ginger root. It tastes amazing and gives you an immunity boost right away!! Fill your body with health!! <3  I LOOOVEEE Pumpkin Pie. LOVE. In fact I have a minor addiction to pumpkin spice soy frappuccino at Starbucks... but I am trying to find ways around that. Working and a perfect recipe, but this one is DELICIOUS! And instead of syrups and sugar, its pure, vegan protein!
Easy peasy and SOOO filling! Just put everything in a blender until smooth and then enjoy!! You can add more stevia or sweetener if you want, or more almond milk if you find it too think! - 4 ice cubes - 1 cup almond milk - 3 tbsp pumpkin puree - 1 tsp cinnamon - 1 tsp all spice - 1 tsp flax meal - 2 Scoops of Arbonne Protein Powder  Organic, fresh fruit has so many benefits to your health. So many people are worried about calories so they cut out fruit and go with some processed cereal or protein bar instead. BAD! When you follow Sammi's Secrets, you only eat fruit in the morning, on an empty stomach. Also, you should be somewhat active, so burning some fruit calories should be nothing at all to worry about. When you eat a plant-based diet, you loading your body with natural vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes and nutrients!! Focus on THAT. This is a delicious breakfast smoothie I like to enjoy to start off my day!  You are probably thinking.. "WHY IS EVERRRYYTHING GREEN???". Well there are a few answers to that. Did you know the colour green is the most balancing, peaceful, safe and healthy colour? Think about it, its everywhere. It's LIFE. The trees, the grass, the plants.. it's literally everywhere you look outside in nature! It brings a feeling of comfort, love, peace, health, balance, freedom and abundance! Green is also the colour of the heart Chakra! GREEN IS GREAT!!!! Green veggies are something you can eat as much as you want! They are all filled with vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants! So, if we fill up with them in the morning for breakfast, have some at lunch AND incorporate them into dinner (like a salad), we are sure to improve health AND lose weight!!!   GREEN JUICE
