Hi! I’m Chantal, creator of Fresh is Real!
The recipe developer, photographer, writer, videographer (in training) and health motivator behind Fresh is Real. Welcome to my creative place!
Fresh is Real was designed to motivate people to eat more vegetables, fruits and plant-based ingredients with each meal and snack. It’s a creative outlet to inspire kids, teens, and adults to have fun experimenting in the kitchen with fresh, simple, nutrient-dense ingredients.
No label reading experience required here! Just a little patience, creativity and a lot of love for the fantastic recipes you’re about to make!
Fresh is Real Focus
The focus will not be on what you can’t eat; it will be to make you feel great, with what you can eat!
This food blog is a safe place for sharing recipes and tips to lead a healthy plant-based and allergen-friendly lifestyle, especially for people dealing with multiple food allergies or sensitivities.
All recipes are free of gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts, nuts, eggs, shellfish, sulphites, sesame and mustard. The ultimate goal is to crowd out the not-so-nutritious foods with fresh wholesome ingredients!
