Vegan Egg Salad

Vegan Egg Salad

by Kyla Gallant-Sova @ Crave Health and Nutrition Inc. - My Kitchen Blog

Are you looking to incorporate more vegetarian meals into your diet? Check out this delicious vegan salad sandwich filling. It is super easy (takes only 5 minutes to whip up if you are using canned chickpeas and lentils) and is drool worthy! Not only is it delicious in a sandwich, but I also throw it on salads or use as a vegetable dip. I hope you enjoy!

Snack Time: Inspiring Summer Harvest

by Calgary Meals on Wheels @ Calgary Meals on Wheels

By Kim Jeffery I always feel inspired following the summer refresh. Inspired to plan better, shop better and ultimately cook better for my family. As I flew through my local grocery store after work the other day, I was instantly slowed down by the colourful displays of seasonal fruits and vegetables. My cart quickly became...

A Dietitian's International Ironman Experience

A Dietitian's International Ironman Experience

by Kyla Gallant-Sova @ Crave Health and Nutrition Inc. - My Kitchen Blog

Ok so first things first... I am not the Ironman here. Dance is and always will be my physical activity of choice. However, this was my fiancé's third ironman, and first in a foreign country, so the experience was a little different than what we are used to. Fueling for endurance activities can be tricky to nail to begin with, so adding on travel itineraries, border restrictions, foreign products, and limited ability to meal prep can really get in the way of proper nutrition. Here is our experience of road tripping from Alberta to California, and attending the inaugural Santa Rosa Ironman event.

Tips To Making New Year's Resolutions Last More Than One Week

Tips To Making New Year's Resolutions Last More Than One Week

by Kyla Gallant-Sova @ Crave Health and Nutrition Inc. - My Kitchen Blog

Well 2017 is almost upon us, meaning that you only have 1 more day to set your 2017 goals.   I have mixed feelings about New Year's resolutions… On one hand, it makes perfect sense to plan to EAT HEALTHIER and BE MORE ACTIVE after having spent the last month drowning in holiday parties and excessively indulgent meals. However, too many people set oversimplified, unrealistic goals for themselves, providing absolutely no specific plan for success, relying only on sheer will to do something that they fail at EVERY SINGLE YEAR!   I am going to be honest… I am pretty darn good at setting resolutions that I ACTUALLY succeed at. You want to know why? Because I set realistic goals that I know I can achieve and I make a plan that involves baby steps that extend past the month of January. Do you want 2017 to be the year that you actually achieve your New Year's resolutions? 

Chicken and Avocado Burgers

Chicken and Avocado Burgers

by Kyla Gallant-Sova @ Crave Health and Nutrition Inc. - My Kitchen Blog

There is something about cooking on the bbq that gives me the warm fuzzies. I think it is because it brings back memories of summer vacation, warm weather and spending time with family. It may also be because food always tastes better when barbecued. This burger is so magical that I have also made variations without bread crumbs or feta for friends who have various food allergies and these still taste fantastic! These burgers will steal the show at any Canada Day barbecue you attend this weekend! I hope you enjoy!

Welcome to My Kitchen

Welcome to My Kitchen

by Kyla Gallant-Sova @ Crave Health and Nutrition Inc. - My Kitchen Blog

Welcome to my kitchen! I am so excited for you to be here! To me, the kitchen is the centre of every home. Growing up it was always a hubbub of activity and excitement, providing nourishment both physical and emotional. In the kitchen is where I learned to make my first ever balanced meal (pork chops in a mushroom sauce with rice and some vegetable I cannot remember, which I think is pretty good for a 12 year old!), and where my family would support me through both my successes and my challenges. To me, the kitchen should be a supportive area in the home, where people are able to open up, try new things, and overcome barriers. That is why I want to open my kitchen up to you!

Nutrition for Dance Competition

Nutrition for Dance Competition

by Kyla Gallant-Sova @ Crave Health and Nutrition Inc. - My Kitchen Blog

Well it’s that my favourite time of year again... Dance competition season!! Many of you may or may not know that when I am not spending my time counseling clients, educating groups or developing recipes, I can usually be found in a dance studio. Dance was my first love, my first career and the reason why I got into nutrition in the first place. I am passionate about helping dancers strive for their personal best, whether it means fine-tuning their ballet technique or fueling their body adequately for a long and jam-packed day at competition. Nutrition can play a very important role in a dancer’s journey to success and here are a few tips and tricks to help you achieve your very best!

How much probiotics should I take?

by @ Custom Probiotics Canada: Latest News

It depends. Everyones microflora is unique like a fingerprint. You have to try and see for yourself. We have clients that take 40 billion CFU a day, all the way up to a trillion! 

If you have a flora imbalance, start off slow and work your way up to an amount you are comfortable with. If your completely healthy, we recommend taking at least 60 billion CFU a day.

Why use powders over capsules?

by @ Custom Probiotics Canada: Latest News

Powders allow you to vary your dosage very easily. You can take as little or much as you personally require this way. For example, some of our clients use a baby scoop of powder a day which is about 30 – 40 billion CFU. Others take up to 4 adult scoops a day, that’s about 1.2 Trillion CFU a day! That would be about 15 capsules!

So if you want to take a high amount of CFU, we would suggest trying the powders. They also cost less per CFU compared to the capsules.

Below is one of our popular powders we recommend starting with.

Pumpkin Dessert Hummus

Pumpkin Dessert Hummus

by Kyla Gallant-Sova @ Crave Health and Nutrition Inc. - My Kitchen Blog

Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday. I think because it was always the first long weekend after the summer, and because the time of year incorporates so many of my favourite flavours... cinnamon, pumpkin, squash, nutmeg. What is there not to love about a holiday that gives you an extra day off work, an excuse to visit with friends and family and all of those delicious fall foods? This pumpkin dessert hummus is a twist on my favourite, the classic cookie dough chickpea dip. It tastes like pumpkin pie, without the added sugars and fat. Serve it with apple slices or mix it with plain greek yogurt and you have yourself a delicious (and healthy) indulgence!

Winter Salad

Winter Salad

by Kyla Gallant-Sova @ Crave Health and Nutrition Inc. - My Kitchen Blog

I am the first person to admit that I am not a huge salad fan. Yes, even though I am a dietitian, I do not like traditional salads. Raw leafy greens are always super awkward to eat, and all of that chewing takes me FOREVER to finish eating. I do however enjoy what I think of as chunky salads... where the vegetables are in bitesize pieces that I can easily eat without having pieces of spinach sticking out of my mouth. I also thoroughly enjoy fall/winter veggies (think squash, beets, all manners of root veggies). It is starting to get cold outside and I find the warmth of squash, beets, etc comforting. This recipe is a mash-up of chunky, easy-to-eat salad style and comforting, delicious winter vegetables. My favourite thing about this recipe is that it is versatile. I have one version that I create just as a vegetable side for meals, and I have a second version that is more of a main course. Although it does take a good chunk of time to make, it is easy to double the recipe and save the extras for leftovers throughout the week. I hope you enjoy!

Hi! I'm Taylor. I am a Nutrition student at the University of Alberta, as well as an aspiring Registered Dietitian!  I love cooking up new healthy recipes, or trying new sporting activities such as yoga, kickboxing, or spin classes. I believe that healthy living should be exciting and fun, not something that makes people feel deprived of the good things in life. When you realize that food has the power to improve mental health, enhance your energy, change your mood, and increase your overall happiness, the way you think about the contents of your diet changes and this is something that I aspire to instill in others! The Pros of Probiotics Probiotics are the latest rage in the nutrition world right now, popping up in magazines, books, and the news, but many people do not actually know what they are or how they impact health. When I started to learn about probiotics and their benefits in some of my classes, I decided that I wanted to share the information that I learned with the rest of you as probiotics can have many positive benefits for our health! I also wanted to share some of the yummy probiotic products that I have found.
