I Enjoy Yoso! You bet I do, and I’m going to tell you why!
Several months ago, I had the pleasure and the opportunity to be interviewed by @enjoyyoso – dairy-free and gluten-free yogurts and spreads.
They asked me several questions about what I eat, where I shop and my favourite places to dine in Toronto and I think it’s time I share the interview!
Here is the official interview, slightly edited for @bravethewaves_
When we make healthy choices for the friends we hang out with and the decisions we make, we feel powerful and fantastic. Why stop there? Can you imagine how great you will feel if we make healthy choices for the food that we eat such as Yoso Products? Feels like you can do anything, right?
I have to be honest and say that I am not 100% dairy-free, however, over the years, I have cut out a considerably large amount of dairy from my diet and I have several reasons for doing this.
Firstly, the idea of eating “things” from a cow does not sit well with me. It’s just well, gross. Secondly, the way that dairy is taken from a cow makes my stomach turn. Once again, gross.
“Farmer Mary” is not sitting on a stool, gently getting milk from cow udders. Cows are milked too much and are hooked up to machines that hurt them.
Finally, and I think most importantly, the popular slogan “milk does a body good” is completely false! According to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, studies have linked dairy to an increase of breast, ovarian and prostate cancers.
1. Yoso cashew-based style spread is fantastic on a toasted bagel! I enjoy Yoso here very much!
2. I also love the Yoso creamy cultured coconut. Sometimes, I add a little granola on top of it for the perfect breakfast. I enjoy Yoso, here too!
3. I am also a huge fan of @sftebakery desserts. Their chocolate cake is incredible.
3A. Don’t forget their blueberry “cheesecake”
3B. And their whoopie pies!
@Freshrestaurants is my go-to place that makes my tastebuds do their happy dance and leaves my stomach feeling oh so satisfied! I always order the mushroom chipotle “bacon” veggie burger with quinoa onion rings!
Dave Young. It’s my local fruit and veggie store that is right next door to my gym @embody_fitness_clubs on Eglinton. At my pace, it’s all about convenience and the fact that they help you bring your groceries to your car is a bonus!
I’m so grateful to be able to have the opportunity to write what I’m passionate about and what I think will serve others. If you would like me to write about you and your passions for the Braves The Waves Journal, or for your own company, please be in touch.
