Chocolate Almond Bites

These delicious frozen bites are unbaked, super-simple and taste like cookie dough! The good news is that you can enjoy them as an anytime snack without guilt.

What does it mean to be “Gluten-Free”?

What does it mean to be Gluten-Free? It’s estimated that 1 in 133 Canadians or 250,000 people have celiac disease (and it’s growing) and approximately 3 million Americans. It’s a lifelong, genetically based disorder that occurs when gluten – a protein found in wheat, rye and barley – triggers an abnormal immune response that damages the lining of the small intestine interfering with the absorption of vital nutrients. It can be painful and debilitating. Symptoms can include anemia, diarrhea, arthritis, intense abdominal pain, weight loss and, in children, delayed growth. But most people have symptoms that are subtler, such as bloating, excess gas or fatigue. People who have gluten ‘sensitivity’ will also benefit from a gluten-free diet. These people test negative for celiac disease but react poorly to gluten and may report abdominal pain, headaches, irritability, depression and chronic fatigue. There’s no evidence, however, that following a gluten-free diet will…

Makes sense right? This outward visual sign of inflammation is a familiar sight and many of us have had some form of injury to our outer body at some point in our lives. But what about the inflammation that you cannot see?  Inflammation of your bowel, and other organs which become irritated as a result of allergies, or a stressed lifestyle and/or poor diet? This causes immense problems and places a huge strain on your body and often, symptoms are ignored.  Inflammation can lead to all kinds of health issues and chronic disease such as heart disease, bowel disease, cancer and other health problems such as the intestine…
