Box’d Fresh Service Review

If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen on my stories that I received a delivery from Box'd Fresh, which they sent me to try out and to give my honest opinion on. I've never tried a food delivery service like this and when I found out that they offered healthy and vegan options, I knew I had to try it!  What's Box'd Fresh?  Box'd Fresh is a meal delivery subscription service offering both meat and vegan options. Each week they have six new recipes to choose from and there are at least two vegan meals every week. The week that I received my box happened to be a week that included three vegan options, and they were all equally mouth watering! What I [...]

American Style Vegan Burgers

American Style Vegan Burgers Who doesn't love a delicious juicy burger? I certainly do! It's such a classic example of a comfort meal. One that's easy and quick to make and is very satisfying. Nothing beats a burger and fries when you're having a bad day and need a good 'stomach hug’, for a cosy sofa-supper or to bring friends or family gatherings to life. What if I told you, you can create fully plant-based burgers at home that taste absolutely scrumptious, are super-good for you and come in a beautiful rainbow of colours? Well you can, and I’ve teamed up with plant-based food brand Reroot Foods to create some delicious recipes using their new range GOODMINZ – fresh mince, [...]

Middle Eastern Buddha Bowl

Middle Eastern Buddha Bowl Middle Eastern food is by far my favourite cuisine, which shouldn't come as a surprise since I was brought up in the Middle East and grew up eating and loving all the different flavours and amazing ingredients that part of the world and culture had to offer! Food in the Middle East is extremely important. It's something to be celebrated, shared and enjoyed. Food and eating were never considered merely fuel and a way for us to survive and keep going. We always sat down on the table to eat. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. There was no eating on the go and food was always made from scratch. No ready meals, no convenient packaged stuff and very rarely [...]

Vegan Tofu Tiramisu

Vegan Tofu Tiramisu If you're trying to follow a plant-based diet that minimises the amount of animal products you eat, or if you're trying to eat healthier, then treating yourself to Tiramisu doesn't seem to be a viable option. Typically made with cream, mascarpone cheese, white sugar and lady fingers. None of those things scream health to me, definitely indulgence, not health.  It's also usually made with alcohol so for people who can't drink alcohol like me, by default eating it is always out of the question. The good news is that you CAN make a healthier version at home. Without cheese, cream, dairy and alcohol! Not only that, you can make a plant-based version that's higher in protein! How? By using tofu as [...]

Chocolate Tahini Doughnuts (Vegan, Gluten-free)

Chocolate Tahini Doughnuts  I have yet another tahini recipe for you. I just couldn't resist. It's such a delicious and nutritionally amazing ingredient that I just want to add it/drizzle it onto anything and everything! There is no doubt that I eat tahini on a daily basis, either in my breakfast in the form of a drizzle over my smoothies, mixed into my porridge, or on the side of my lunch in hummus or just drizzled over my salad/veggies.  These chocolate tahini doughnuts are vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar free made using oats instead of flour, tahini instead of oil and dates instead of a refined sweetener. Not only are they much healthier than normal doughnuts, they're also super dense, [...]

Anti-inflammatory Golden Turmeric Milk

Anti-inflammatory Golden Turmeric Milk  As some of you may already know, I've been suffering with eczema, IBS, anxiety and low mood for many years (click here to find out more). My immune system seems to be very active and so I have a lot of inflammation in my body. Chronic inflammation is bad news as it's the precursor to many chronic diseases, which is worrying, so I try to eat as many anti-inflammatory foods as possible. Turmeric being one of them.  Turmeric is said to be one of the best natural anti-inflammatory agents out there, definitely something to include in the diet, especially if you have any kind of auto-immune conditions and allergies.  When it comes to making anti-inflammatory golden turmeric milk, there [...]

Chocolate Covered Almond Coconut Flapjacks

Chocolate Covered Almond Coconut Flapjacks This is my first ever flapjack recipe!  EVER!! Can you believe it? How have I been blogging for this long without making flapjacks before? I honestly don't know the answer to that question because I LOVE FLAPJACKS!  I guess flapjacks can come across as a slightly less interesting treat. Are they a dessert? Are they a snack? They feel like they're somewhere in between. Depending on how you make them they can look slightly bland and uninspiring, especially in the eyes of a food blogger who wants to create something visually stunning that the camera will love.  So I finally got my act together and made my first batch of flapjacks. I couldn't make any plain old flapjacks though. I [...]

Cherry Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches – Vegan & Gluten-free

Cherry Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches This is my first ice cream recipe this summer. Can you believe it?! Why has it taken me so long to finally get my act together and create an ice-cream recipe? I guess it's because the weather has been so up and down, one day it's glorious and sunny, the next it's rainy and gloomy.  I love ice cream, but do you know what I love even more than ice cream? ICE CREAM SANDWICHES! I love balancing out the smooth, silkiness of ice cream with the more solid texture of a 'cookie'. I say cookie but the base for these cookie sandwiches are basically made out of dates, cashews and cocoa powder. No baking required! I've teamed up with [...]

Black Bean Avocado & Mango Tacos

Black Bean Avocado & Mango Tacos I've always found avocado and mango to be such an excellent combination. The rich texture and buttery taste of the avocado complements the complex sweetness of the mango so well! I usually combine them in salads like I did in my kale, mango and avocado salad.  Another thing that goes well with avocados is beans! I find beans so comforting. There's something about their texture that when you bite into them you know you're giving your body something nourishing without feeling like you're actually eating 'healthy'. Unlike the feeling you get from eating a boring salad. You know it's good for you so you eat it, but it doesn't offer much in terms of the feeling [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Chocolate Avocado Cake

Vegan Gluten-free Chocolate Avocado Cake One thing that my blog is missing is a good two layered chocolate cake. That's until now of course! I've finally got my act together and made a vegan and gluten-free rich chocolate cake with a lush chocolate frosting.  What makes the frosting so lush is the combination of melted dark chocolate mixed with the creaminess and richness of a good ripe avocado! Those two together make for the most decadent, out of this world and delicious frosting!  Many of you have asked me for more cake recipes, more specifically a chocolate cake recipe! I LOVE cakes but usually opt for making denser loaves and squares like my banana blueberry bread, banana walnut bread or [...]
