Mushroom Mylk | Maple Vanilla Chaga Almond Milk

January 21, 2020 By julia

This mushroom mylk is foamy, a little sweet, creamy, and packed to the brim with benefits + antioxidants.

… taken to the NEXT LEVEL with Stay Wyld Organics Chaga mushroom powder.

It foams nicely for that next latté… or just pour yourself a big glass for the dipping experience paired with Peanut Butter Quinoa Cookies, Chickpea Coconut Cluster Cookies, Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies, or these One Bowl Breakfast Cookies.

Now might be a good time to introduce you to a new mushroom biz I’m a part of:

Stay Wyld Organics!

I’ve always been amazed by the benefits of the fungi family, so I’m very excited to be a big part of Stay Wyld and all that it stands for.

These medicinal mushrooms are steam extracted, North American grown, organic, a blend of the fruiting bodies and mycelium, plus they come in plastic-free packaging!

Chaga, Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and Turkey Tail.

Check out all of the benefits on the site! (Use ‘Julia10’ for the 10% discount)

I throw a mix of the powders in my smoothies, lattés, overnight oats, energy balls, cookies, you name it!! You can’t even taste the mushroom powders (I usually put 1/3 cup mix of all 5 mushroom powders in our smoothie every day).

More about Stay Wyld will be coming soon… but for now, enjoy this Chaga mylk.

Chaga has the highest ORAC score (the measure of antioxidant potency) of any superfood. Antioxidants combat free radicals in the body, preventing inflammation and disease.

Get it in ya!

Warm Vegan Pumpkin Spice Banana Milkshake | 3 Ingredients

November 7, 2019 By julia

Sometimes all you need is something warm to put your hands around. Enter: pumpkin spice and bananas.

With just 3 ingredients and a blender, you will have this delicious pumpkin spice banana milkshake (minus the dairy) to knock your cozy socks off.

The taste?  Pumpkin pie in a cup (but, actually good for you).

Fall is definitely upon us, and this comforting bevy will be the cherry on top of your Netflix n’ chill sweatpants.

Tis’ the season for pumpkin everything. Let’s make the most of it.

Benefits:

Bananas should be enjoyed be in their ripe form (with spots). They’re amazing for digestion, high in potassium and rich in fibre.

Pumpkin Pie Spice gives us that spicey cinnamon and ginger, both bringing us great benefits. Ginger is a well-known immune-booster, and cinnamon? The king of lowering those blood-sugar levels.

Vanilla (the pure extract) is anti-inflammatory, helping you fight disease, and allowing your body to thrive.

Ginger Coconut Kombucha Float

February 21, 2019 By julia

Time to float on!  Kombucha float style!

Today we’re getting our float on… the easiest way ever.

2 ingredients (3 if you count the berries on top), a satisfying pour, and a super delicious spoonful of bubbles n’ cream!

Just like you might remember, but minus the pop n’ dairy.

Have at er’ kids!

Simple as:

  1. Scoop
  2. Pour
  3. Spoon

Today we’re using the Ginger Kombucha by Rise!! Their Rose Shizandra or Maple Blueberry boosh’s would be a great idea too.

I do make my own boosh, but it’s not always ready to go, and… I really like this kind. You can find Rise in most grocery stores these days, and this ginger one goes deliciously with the vanilla coconut ice cream (by Coconut Bliss).

Que the nostalgia, cuz here’s a taste of childhood in the summer!!

Vegan Nog | Whole Food Creaminess

December 7, 2017 By julia

Let’s nog about it. Vegan nog, that is.

There’s something special about sippin’ on a spicy, decadent nog from your favourite mug as you’re hanging that tinsel on your Charlie Brown Christmas tree. If you weren’t in the Christmas spirit yet, then this will fix you up.

These spices… the creaminess… even the smell…this recipe has all of those experiences of egg-nog tradition, but maximized because this is actually good for you nog.

I have to say, I didn’t think I could create a vegan nog that tasted like the old days. But, the first sip told me otherwise. This bevy will make you sink into your comfort zone with the nostalgic spices and creaminess you’ve always had. Now, it’s without the dairy (check out this post to see why that’s a good thing) and refined sugar.

No need for the dairy. It’s amazing what this mix of whole food ingredients can create!

A Christmas party in your mouth is what this bevy creates. Your welcome.

I’ll never have a half cup of nog again. Now it’s filled to the brim, I’m going for re-fills, and I feel like I’m doing myself a favour. Triple win!

Benefits:

  • Bananas are a good carbohydrate for your body to easily digest. They’re nutrient dense and packed with fibre! Don’t be afraid of the ‘nana.
  • Dates are packed with minerals and fibre. They’re a whole food, and known as nature’s candy. They digest slowly and are great for good energy and smooth digestion. I don’t go on a long bike ride without a bag of dates stashed in some pocket!

Hooked On People Interview: Rich Sievewright AKA Vegan Iron Yogi + Post Work-Out Smoothie

November 2, 2017 By julia

Rich Sievewright is a mad man when it comes to working out, pushing himself and pushing others. I first met Rich when he and I were LuluLemon ambassadors. He puts on killer work out classes to get Whistlerites in shape for playing in the mountains. Rich is totally in tune with his body and how to fuel himself to perform his best. A lot of people go to Rich for diet and fitness advice, so I’m excited that he’s found going vegan for performance to be the best thing he’s done! Read on to learn more about being a vegan athlete, his plant-fuelled Ironman training, his new business (Richlife), and his simple, satisfying and nutritious post-work out smoothie recipe!
How long have you been eating plant-based?
2 years

Why did you make the switch? 
I watched Cowspiracy and decided that I didn’t want to be a part of the environmental problem that our planet is facing. I switched so I could be a part of the solution instead.


What are the main differences/benefits you’ve noticed after switching to a plant-based lifestyle?
1) Buying groceries is quick and simple. I go to the produce section and bulk nuts & seeds, thats it.
2) No cravings for dairy or meat, which was surprising after being a heavy carnivore my whole life.
3) I lost weight, but maintained/increased strength when it come to lifting weights!
4) Endurance level has increased. I feel lighter and faster than ever before.
5) A big difference is having to constantly explain my diet to every man and his dog. I used to hate answering the question, as I felt like I was offending people, but not now. If they ask why, I tell them straight, and if I’m met with a defensive attitude I lift my shirt and show them my abs and say it works for me, haha.

You are officially an IRONMAN. Wow!  How long did you train specifically for the ironman?
I trained for a year but it didn’t really get specific until 4 months out. A solo training camp in Mexico in April kicked me into ironman overdrive. 

What was a typical training day like leading up to the Ironman? Work outs and food? 
A typical training day was: eat, work, eat, train, eat, work, eat, eat and sleep. My diet is always the same:
  • oatmeal with nuts and seeds in the morning
  • quinoa salad 2-3 times a day
  • a protein smoothie
  • and snacking on nuts and nut butter

I’m not one for calorie counting, as I find you can get obsessive with it. I’m very in tune with my own body as I’ve been training for a long time. I eat intuitively when I feel hungry and I drink when I feel thirsty. I had no budget when it came to food, and still don’t. It’s the most important thing to spend my money on…that and rent!

How AWESOME was it crossing the finish line?!

It was incredible, 20 Lululemon babes and close friends screaming (literally) my name was so heart warming and almost brought me to tears. It also signified the end of an era in my life. Friends, family, community and connection are more important to me than a race that significantly diminished the balance and overall health of my life. 


What part was the hardest?
Physically, there is no doubt the run was the hardest (in particular the last 10km). Mentally, the bike was the hardest due to the boredom and uncomfort (my lower back and the crown jewels were in a bad way).

What did you listen to during your long biking and running hours?
I listened to podcasts by Joe Rogan. I always enjoy zoning into the intriguing people on the show, from doctors and physicians to trainers and elite athletes. 

If you were to choose just one work out to do the rest of your life, what would it be?
Definitely a short and intense metabolic workout using dumbbells, barbells, plyometrics and thousands of burpees. I love being close to the heart attack zone. I find these workouts are the most efficient way to improve my physical and mental fitness. For some crazy reason I find them really fun.


What is a day in your life like?
It’s hard to say as I’m adapting to a big change in my life. I now own my own business and I’m currently adapting to a new lifestyle that has opened up much more time for me. On a Sweat Camp day, I’m up at 4.30am and out of the house by 5. I unload the weights from the van and teach two classes before 9am. Generally, I will then train myself and the rest of the day is whatever I fancy. I’m enjoying getting into the world of social media, I eat, I nap, I go for walks in nature and I catch up with friends…it’s Whistler so that usually entails some kind of outside activity.
 
What do you eat on a typical training day?
Similar to every other day. I’m a low maintenance eater, as long as I have a constant supply of quinoa and veggies then I’m a happy boy. A long endurance workout requires fuel to take with you, so my weapons of choice are Nak’d bars. 

Favourite pre-work out meal and post work-out meal?
I don’t need a pre-workout because i’m eating constantly through the day which helps to keep my energy level consistent. Post workout is definitely a smoothie with banana, avocado, water, vegan protein powder, coconut oil, and nut butter.

Do you practice intermittent fasting? If so, what kind of results have you seen from it?
I have tried it and have seen great results. The way I do it is to eat all my food within a 9-10 hour period and nothing but water for the rest of the day. I prolong when I eat breakfast which I always thought was a big no-no, but it works for me. I find that when I eat this way, I’m more mentally alert in the mornings and my body fat percentage starts to drastically fall.

Who is your inspiration in the plant-based world? (what athletes, docs, influencers, bloggers?)
  • Rich Roll is an incredible plant-based athlete and human being. His story and transformation into a vegasaurous is very inspiring.
  • Leonardo Di Caprio is a hero of mine because for me, eating a plant-based diet was initially due to environmental reasons. Using his fame to raise awareness and influence governments is a huge step for the planet.
  • Frank Medrano is a vegan athlete who does crazy calisthenic training. The guy is completely jacked and does some offensively impressive things with his body.
  • Documentaries I continuously watch are: Cowspiracy, What the Health, Food Matters, Forks over Knives.
  • There are so many vegans out there who are under the radar, it seems to be growing…even Mike Tyson is a vegonator! 

Name 3 podcasts we should all be listening to:
1) Kelly Brogan on the Joe Rogan experience (health psychiatrist)
2) Rich Roll on the Joe Rogan Experience (vegan transformation and endurance athlete)
3) Dr Rhonda Patrick on the Joe Rogan Experience (humbling me in the workings of the human body)


You’ve recently started the Rich Life! So exciting. This is all about ‘creating a community through health and fitness that uplifts, brings togetherness and a sense of belonging’.
Tell us more, in a nutshell, about what The Rich Life is!
RICHLIFE is a fitness program for Whistler residents that combines strength and conditioning classes, yoga and social gatherings to enhance your mountain life. RICHLIFE delivers on-going 4-week Sweat Camps at The Audain Art Museum and Whistler Creek Athletic Club. The fitness classes are three times a week at either 6am, 7.30am, 11am, or 5.30pm from Mon-Fri. It includes free yoga classes, three times a week at the Sundial Hotel. People can sign up on my website www.richlifewhistler.com or on my Facebook page Richlife Whistler.
