RECIPE | Quick & healthy yogurt bowl with iögo's new format pouch!

Sometimes, I just want a snack that's easy to prepare but also healthy - especially after working out (I'm trying to be more active this year).  With the weather getting warmer in the city, I find myself craving fresh fruits. What better way to enjoy them than with some granola and yogurt? I picked up the new iogo package the other day, which came in a resealable bag and decided to make a yogurt bowl.


For this simple snack, you don't need much! That's what makes it so great - it only takes 5 minutes to put together. If you're someone like me that that needs a quick on-the-go breakfast or a snack, this is it. I have no time to waste! Now, I have no excuse to skip breakfast.

You can probably grab some fruits, granola and/or nuts from the kitchen and a medium-sized bowl.  I used a banana, strawberries, and blueberries for mine along with some granola, pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds. Try not to put too much in the bowl, you still want to enjoy the yogurt! Since I had a few ingredients, I kept it simple with a Vanilla flavoured iogo original.

You're probably confused as to why iogo's new packaging is so unconventional than the packaging that we're so used to: the single serve cups and the bigger tubs of yogurt. Let me tell you, it's the same smooth and delicious yogurt. It's just new & improved in term of its looks for practicality & functionality.

One thing that stands out to me is that the yogurt isn't contaminated by a spoon once it's opened and re-dipped. Another great feature?  This large pouch's cap made it easy to pour into the bowl without having to scoop with a spoon (less dishes!) and avoids any spills. Another plus is that the cap is resealable, so we can just put in back the fridge, without having to worry about finishing the whole package!


Ta-da! What a perfect snack for my sweet tooth.

The new resealable pouches are available for the following product lines:
iogo Original in Vanilla & Strawberry
iogo Probio in Vanilla & Strawverry
iogo Greek in Vanilla & Plain

Although, this recipe is a yogurt "bowl," I recommend trying it in a travel cup or a glass for a different kind of presentation! It would be a dainty party flavour too for a summery BBQ. Another great idea for using these yogurt's are smoothies, especially with the Vanilla or Strawberry iogo original packages.

Of course, iogo yogurt is a great substitute in cooking and baking too! Check out some of their fun recipes here.

REVIEW | Light Cafe

We find Baldwin Village to be a street in Toronto that is ever growing. You'll never know what to expect in terms of businesses that will pop up! Not to mention it's diverse food culture including gelato, ramen, Italian, Filipino food and so much more. It doesn't surprise us at all that Light Cafe decided to take residence on Baldwin.  I have traveled quite extensively through Asia and can say with confidence that Light Cafe looks exactly like a cafe you would find in Taiwan. Not only is it spacious inside, I love the minimalist decor inside which provides a calming atmosphere. I could see myself sitting at the cafe for hours (within reason haha) and getting some work done.  The first thing that we noticed and I'm sure many of you will as well - is the living wall. I don't think I've ever been to a restaurant where there was a living wall but I've always wanted one of my own. With the natural sunlight coming in with the wall, it's the perfect place to f...

RECIPE | Alokozay Tea - Cinnamon tea infused panna cotta

Matcha tea has been a long time favourite when making any type of dessert and now more recently, it's expanded to other teas such as Chai or Early Grey. We decided to try making a panna cotta using cinnamon tea from  Alokozay Tea.    If you're looking to buy it in a store, try the international food section in Metro, Bulk Barn, Food Basics, or Adonis. If all else fails, do what we did and order it directly from their website. The website is extremely easy to navigate and you can get free shipping if you spend $39 or more.  Customer service was amazing and replied to my emails within the same day! Click here to buy the tea online.  Panna Cotta is a pretty straight forward dessert to make but it never fails to impress at dinner parties where you can serve them in individual ramekins. Ingredients - 2 Alokozay cinnamon tea bags - 3/4 cup half and half cream -1/2 cup 2% milk - 2 tbsp sugar - 1 tsp gelatin -fruits of your choice  Method: 1. Mix the gelatin with ...
