Chocolate Fudge Oat Bars

Chocolate Fudge Oat Bars

A super delicious no-bake dessert - these chocolate fudge oat bars are the perfect treat to make on a hot summer day when you're craving something sweet, but don't fancy ice cream. I do love a good no-bake recipe, especially during summer when it's too hot to turn the oven on. The last thing you want to do on a scorching hot day is to add even more heat by turning on the oven. These no-bake chocolate fudge oat bars are the perfect, no fuss, quick and easy treat that takes no time to prepare. Meaning you can spend more time out in the sun taking advantage of the lovely weather while it lasts. Because let's face it, UK isn't [...]

Healthy Grain-free Granola Recipe

Healthy Grain-free Granola Recipe

This healthy grain-free granola recipe is one that I've been making on repeat recently. It's super crunchy and keeps well, making it a great option to have on hand for a speedy breakfast, healthy snack or a crunchy addition to elevate meals. Granola is something that you can easily make at home with one bowl, no equipment (apart from an oven, which most people have access to) and very little time. You can make it so much healthier than most shop bought granolas and at a fraction of the price. It's so adaptable - you can change the ingredients around according to your likes, or use what you have available in your cupboard to save you a shopping trip. Usually [...]

Delicious, super smooth and chocolaty - this mocha buckwheat pudding can be enjoyed for breakfast, as a snack or a healthy dessert! Breakfast is my most favourite meal of the day by far!

Raspberry Protein Chia Pudding

Raspberry Protein Chia Pudding

This recipe is in celebration of Barbie Day and the release of the new Barbie movie! This raspberry protein chia pudding is what I imagine barbie would eat for breakfast in real life - pink, tasty and nutritious! I was obsessed with barbies when I was young, but we couldn't afford toys growing up in Iraq. At the time she was THE toy that every little girl wanted. What made things worse is that my cousin not only had a few barbies, she also had a massive barbie house! I was SO jealous of her. Her dad was doing well financially, so he found ways to find luxuries like a barbie house, even in post gulf war Iraq when most [...]

Protein Peanut Butter (3-Ingredients)

Protein Peanut Butter (3-Ingredients)

You only need 3 ingredients to make this super speedy protein peanut butter recipe. All you need to do is blend everything together and enjoy! Spread on a slice of bread for a high protein breakfast or a post workout snack. I always start my day with a high protein breakfast containing at least 20g of protein. I find it keeps me fuller for longer, stops me from feeling jittery after a couple of hours and gives me more energy. I also find when I eat a higher protein breakfast I don't get cravings later on in the day. Something that I've noticed over the years is that having a carby breakfast with little protein and fat is a big [...]

Vegan Cabbage Pancakes with a Chutney Chickpea Dip

Delicious vegan cabbage pancakes lightly spiced and served with a creamy chutney chickpea dip. You're definitely going to want to try this recipe! I'm very much into savoury vegetable pancakes/fritters at the moment. A couple of weeks ago I made these simple vegetable fritters, which went down a storm, so I thought I would make another version I find fritters an easy way to prepare vegetables that's a lot more fun, tasty and exciting compared to plain boiled or even roasted vegetables. Don't get me wrong, I love my roasted veggies, but every now and then I like to change things up a little. This recipe is an easy, tasty way to level up your veggie game! Cabbage is one [...]

High Protein Vegan Granola

High Protein Vegan Granola

Crunchy homemade high protein vegan granola that's super easy to make and tastes just as good as the shop bought kind! Each serving provides 11g protein, which isn't bad for a granola! Pair it with some Greek yoghurt (or Greek style vegan yoghurt) and nut butter to bump up the protein even more.

I always make better snack choices when I have healthier options there in front of me. When I have granola at hand, especially when it's the first thing in sight when I walk into my kitchen. I'm more likely to reach out for it rather than [...]
