I’m all for fail-proof recipes because I am someone who once messed up pancake mix, and I just don’t like following recipes rules. I also hate wasting an expensive piece of grass-fed beef because I always seem to overcook food but this fail-proof prime rib takes a few minutes to
My Greek boyfriend loves his hummus, and being #cheapandasian, making hummus at home is just so much more economical. Plus it is sooooo easy and most importantly, I know exactly what is in my hummus. I don’t buy a lot of already-prepared foods because I like to curate as many
PRE-RIDE If you are just an amateur athlete like me, most people don’t realize but they don’t actually need to eat much before doing a workout in the morning (depending on the intensity, of course!). If I am doing a ride at an easy pace (which is pretty much most
Back in my twenties, you would always hear me ranting, “I hate cooking!! With my spare time, I’d MUCH rather be doing something else!!” [aka riding my bike]. Now that I’m a little older and wiser, I’m glad to say that I immensely enjoy cooking for both therapeutic and health
What do you do when you have a case of fresh, ripen mangos at home? Make chia pudding! Mango-Coconut Chia Pudding is my absolute favorite and I NEVER seem to get sick of it. Mangoes are one of those fruits I can’t bear to throw in a blender with other
In the summer, we would go out for long bike rides and then I’d come home, covered in dirt, sweat and grime, quickly shower so I can make myself a glass of one of my favorite smoothies: a tropical protein smoothie that is SUPER refreshing and tastes like heaven, especially
Kombucha is a raw, fermented, probiotic, and naturally carbonated tea. Some like to call it love at first sip, but it took a hundred sips for me to fall in love. I’ve seen videos of how this fermented tea is made and knowing I was drinking a colony of bacteria
I’m sitting here trying to come up with something to blog about that has nothing to do with my personal life and despite having over 100 drafts of unfinished posts that will probably never see the light of day, my mind is totally blank. To be honest, the last month,

Black forest cake is one of my favorite desserts and I’ve been constantly craving it, no thanks to my best friend. Here is a recipe for a healthy black forest cake I made the other night and it’s filled with lots of protein from… black beans! Ingredients: 1/2 cup black
Is it weird that I love love LOVE unseasoned boiled chicken leg? I love that pure taste of chicken dipped into a yummy ginger dipping sauce. I don’t mind eating it alone but it’s also good served with quinoa or steamed veggies… but especially good with white rice (think Hainanese
A few months ago I did a 2-week sugar-free challenge and I’m happy to announce that I’m doing it again but for a week only this time as a kick off to our weekly challenges. My first challenge really opened my eyes as to how addictive sugar is and although
Hi! I am Kate. I walk the walk and I talk the talk. I’ve been living a self-proclaimed “effortlessly” fit and healthy lifestyle for the last decade. This blog has been around since 2005 and serves as an archive for my journey.
I’ve been biohacking since 2014. I believe we need a balance of modern medicine and holistic healing to thrive in our world today.
I do NOT diet, count calories, watch my macros, nor do I beat myself up if I don’t workout daily. Eating well, cooking nutritious and delicious meals, and exercise is as second nature to me as brushing my teeth. How? I focussed on habits and lifestyle instead of outcomes. Wellness shouldn’t be hard!
