A few years ago, I was on route to a weekend spin class and on a whim, decided to pop into a supplement store and take a look around. When I saw their wall of electrolytes products I became curious.

Do you like spaghetti squash as much as I do? It really is the perfect swap out for noodles or traditional spaghetti. To get a low-carb, delicious alternative to pasta, all you need to do is bake it in the oven and then use your fork to pull apart the strands. Last week while I was preparing dinner, I did a quick Google search to figure out what temperature I needed to set my oven to, when I came across a brilliant and super simple hack for cooking spaghetti squash.

Back in December, I started a new at-home workout program that is done in tandem with a macro-timed nutrition plan. Not only was I new to a structured workout program (hello, COVID life) but I had never tracked my macros, or calories for that matter, before. I’m now more than halfway through the 13-week program and I have seen many wonderful changes in both my performance and overall health. It’s like a completely new way of living and eating and I can’t stop telling all my friends about it.
Are you on the everything-can-be-made-with-cauliflower train? If not, I encourage you to get on! This cruciferous vegetable is a great source of fibre and vitamin C, plus it’s a low-carb alternative to grains and legumes.

Enter my favourite dinner hack – riced cauliflower. Stocking your freezer with frozen cauliflower will save you time, help you cut back on your carb intake, and allow you to add more fibre and veggies into your diet. Intrigued yet?
