Tabbouleh is a fresh and delicious meal, full of protein and a great way to enjoy the fresh veggies and herbs this season brings. (And it makes a great leftover lunch for the busy fall season!)

This recipe is from Alyssa at Simply Quinoa... and it is simple!

Ingredients
2 cups cooked quinoa
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1 cup chopped cucumbers
1 cup chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt + Pepper to taste - chili salt if you can find it*

Instructions
Add cooled quinoa, tomatoes, cucumbers and fresh herbs into a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, lemon, salt and pepper. Pour dressing over salad ingredients and toss to combine.
Serve immediately or add in your favorite proteins.
Enjoy!

Notes
If you can’t find the spicy salt, feel free to add a pinch or too of crushed red pepper if you want some heat.

Who can believe the leaves are changing already and many of us are getting our kids ready for the school year again? Is it just us, or did this summer really seem to speed by?

We will be taking Monday, September 7th off to soak in the last bits of this glorious season with loved ones, and hope you’re able to do the same!

This change of season can bring a lot of financial stress, but it doesn’t have to!

No one needs the newest and best style or colour of clothing, lunch containers, or school supplies. There are literally millions of them out there already, and some of them are probably in your house! If you can’t find any, ask around or pop into your local thrift/consignment store before buying new.

The best planet-friendly purchase is nothing at all!

And if you do find you need some new things, look for items that are built to last, with non-toxic materials, and made ethically if possible. We have some great options we’ll be sharing soon. 😁

BRAND NEW kleankanteen has landed and just in time to help get excited about packing lunches again! (Nothing like beautiful, well-built, and sustainable containers to get the creative cooking juices flowing! 😁)

For those who thrive on product details, read on. For everyone else, feel free to watch all the pretty things again! 🤩

Why We’re Proud to Carry Klean Kanteen:

In 2004, before most people recognized the damage of single-use plastic, inventor Robert Seals hand-built the first reusable stainless steel water bottle in the U.S. using materials from his local hardware store. Unlike the options of that era, his design was completely free of aluminum and toxic BPA liners.

Soon after, a brother-sister duo took over the family business with a mission to ignite a global “Bring Your Own™” movement. Twenty years later, Klean Kanteen is still pioneering safer, ultra-durable alternatives to disposable bottles, coffee cups, and food containers.

Why They Stand Out:

True Pioneers: Created the original non-toxic, stainless steel reusable water bottle.

Planet Over Profit: As a Certified B Corp, they’ve donated over $4.3 million to environmental non-profits through 1% for the Planet.

Carbon Accountable: Earned The Climate Label certification by funding climate solutions across their entire supply chain.

Built to Last: Backed by a lifetime warranty—eliminating waste by creating gear that lasts decades.

We are proud to stock a brand that didn’t just join the sustainability movement—they helped start it. 🌍❤️👏

Of course, you could make a simple chia pudding, but for anyone looking to up your game... here you go!

This Blueberry Pie Chia Pudding recipe from Katelyn at With Sweet Honey is the perfect make-ahead breakfast. Made with creamy coconut milk, naturally sweetened with maple syrup and honey, and topped with a simple blueberry compote and nutty crumble.

INGREDIENTS:
Pudding
1 can light unsweetened coconut milk (one 13.5 fl oz can)
½ cup chia seeds
2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Blueberry Compote
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1 ½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoon honey
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of sea salt
Crumble Topping
⅓ cup chopped pecans
⅓ cup sliced almonds
¼ cup gluten free old fashioned oats
2 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 whole medjool dates (pitted)
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS
Make the pudding: Add coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup and vanilla extract to a bowl. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Make the blueberry compote: Add the blueberries, lemon juice, and honey to a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until bubbling. Stir and mash the fruit with a spoon. Once bubbling, continue to cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes. Stirring and mashing the fruit as it cooks. Remove from heat and add the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and sea salt. Stir to combine. Set aside in the refrigerator to cool off.

Make the crumble topping: To a blender or food processor, add the pecans, almonds, oats, honey, ground cinnamon, dates and vanilla. Blend for 30 seconds until crumble forms.

Assemble the pudding parfait: Once the compote is cooled, take it out of the refrigerator and divide into four serving dishes. Next, add the pudding that soaked overnight. Then finally top with the nut crumble topping. Serve immediately or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
