Beet + Pineapple & Manuka Honey Granita

August 31, 2021

BEET AND PINEAPPLE GRANITA Originally published @onbetterliving With a texture similar to a snowcone, but with the flavor intensity of a sorbet, granita is a deliciously icy treat enjoyed in cafes and beachside bars throughout Italy to beat the summer heat. Luckily there’s no need to get on a plane to get your fix. In fact, granita is so easy to make, once you give it a try you’ll be sorry you didn’t start making it sooner. Granita recipes are...

This Molecule You’ve Never Heard of Can Greatly Enhance Your Life

June 22, 2021

BIOHACKERS KNOW SOMETHING WE SHOULD ALL UNDERSTAND There is a whole world of stuff going on in the body that lay folk do not talk much about. Like messenger molecules, which usually only comes up in conversation between biochemists and medical specialists, or occasionally devoted biohackers and athletes. That is such a shame because messenger molecules influence how the body runs stuff, which people really should understand because it affects them so much! MESSENGER MOLECULES HELP TO RUN THE BODY...

Valentine’s Day Heart-Beet Chocolate Mousse

February 11, 2021

What makes a food appropriate for Valentine’s day (also known in Latin America as the day of love and friendship)? It makes sense to me that foods known as aphrodisiacs or which promote the production of oxytocin, our bonding hormone, would be a good start. Dubbed “the love hormone”, many of us are currently depleted in oxytocin, which is produced when we experience positive social interactions and pleasant physical touch.

An Athlete’s Take on Re-balance and De-stressing

September 17, 2020

By Jen Segger For over twenty years, I have been pushing myself to the limit in the endurance world. I’ve demanded a lot from my body – I’ve repeatedly asked it to carry me up mountains and through rain forests for days upon end, to bike across vast landscapes all over the world and to paddle remote waterways – so that I could explore outer islands and passages where very few get to go.

Red Pesto

August 13, 2020

What an easy way to spice up your pesto recipe. I love swapping out basil for other herbs or greens and using beet crystals as a source of betalain — beets are great for the blood and capillaries. I’ve used this on pizza, over pasta, in salad dressings and on chicken. The colour is striking and the flavour is savory and intense. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Summer Fruit Aquafaba Pavlova

June 18, 2020

A pavlova is an airy cloud of meringue cradling fresh cream and fruit. It is named for ballerina Anna Pavlova, a childhood idol of mine, because it embodies lightness and effortlessness.

You can make use of whatever fruit you have in abundance. Tart fruits…
