6% milk is hitting shelves across Eastern Canada.
Why now?
Processors are targeting growing demand for richer dairy—particularly for chai, yogurt and paneer—while capitalizing on the return of full-fat diets. It’s also a clever way to premiumize a category struggling with declining consumption.

I’m all about healthier eating these days, especially quick and efficient was to eat less processed, more whole foods. Sourdough’s my go-to bread: easier to digest thanks to fermentation & lower glycemic impact than yeast bread. Here’s a nifty breadmaker recipe authentic (actually), simple, delicious.⬇️
Bonus: Adjust water (280-320g) based on flour. Too sticky? Less next time. Too stiff? More. Play with rye or spelt (100g) in the mix for extra flavor. This is set-it-and-forget-it sourdough - may take a couple tries to get it right, but sooo worth it!
Day 2 of me—a male—testing the Evie Ring. Originally launched for women’s health, but it’s schooling me on sleep, stress, and HRV. Comfy, stylish, no app fees. The ring is comfortable and seems genuinely unisex.
Baking soda isn’t just for baking—it’s anti-inflammatory too! Research (Journal of Immunology, 2018) shows it cuts inflammation markers & boosts anti-inflammatory cells. Let’s explore its perks & uses. Thread 🧵⬇️
In recipes, it’s tiny—1 tsp in a cake = ~1,000 mg sodium, split across servings. Still, track it if you’re watching salt intake!
