Blueberry Banana Smoothie

Blueberry Banana Smoothie A delicious blend of frozen blueberries and bananas swirled in a glass, because everyone likes a pretty breakfast ;)  I'm a creature of habit so when I find something I like, especially when it comes to food, I tend to eat it over and over again without making changes  a) because I'm usually in the kitchen all day experimenting with recipes so I want something quick and easy for my own meals that requires no time or effort to make b) I try to pack my meals with as many nutrient dense ingredients as possible a) well, because sometimes I'm just lazy!  For example when it comes to breakfast, if I make a smoothie I will make a green smoothie [...]

Vegan & Gluten-free Dessert Pizza

Vegan & Gluten-free Dessert Pizza This is a fun, alternative dessert recipe that incorporate plenty of healthy plant-based ingredients without any refined flour, refined sugar or dairy products. Topped with fresh fruit, nuts and Snact fruit jerky. Snact create their fruit jerky using surplus produce that would otherwise be thrown away for being too big, too small or too ugly. Thousands of tons of perfectly edible fruit is thrown away every year because supermarkets don't want to buy imperfect produce. This is the fruit that doesn't even reach the shops, not the produce that is left unbought or the fruit and veg that we as a nation buy but then leave to go bad. I really find it mind boggling and it hurts my heart to think [...]

Chocolate Protein Waffles (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Weekends are for waffles! On Sunday mornings I make more of an effort to make a special breakfast for the hubby and I since we don't often get the chance to sit together for breakfast during the week. Having a proper relaxed, take-your-time breakfast with loved ones really is one of the best ways to spend a Sunday morning.

Matcha Coconut Granola (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Sundays are for relaxing and chilling with family. They're also for baking/food prepping for the week ahead. If you're trying to eat healthier, organisation and food preparation is key! There is nothing worse than feeling hungry and realising there is nothing ready waiting for you in the fridge or cupboard and you now have to think of something to prepare or resort to buying something unhealthy.

Matcha Mint Mango Smoothie

Matcha Mint Mango Smoothie On warm days like today, all I want to eat is ice cream and frozen treats, which is the exact opposite to what I should be eating. My body is craving nourishment and hydration, things that calorific, sugary and fatty ice creams won't exactly supply me with! So I like to make smoothies instead. Thick smoothies to be more specific. Ones that you eat with a spoon rather than drink with a straw. Why? Because they feel so much more satisfying to me. Even if I make the same exact smoothie with the same exact ingredients and the same quantities and the only difference being one has more water than the other, which in theory should make me feel even more [...]

Middle Eastern Inspired Almond Milks – Halva & Turkish Delight

Middle Eastern Inspired Almond Milks - Halva & Turkish Delight Both these desserts, halva and turkish delight, have a special place in my heart. I grew up loving, but rarely eating either of them. We only had treats like this when visiting relatives or at special occasions. Not too long ago I made another 'halva' recipe - my Halva overnight oats. As you can probably tell I'm OBSESSED with tahini and tahini flavoured goodies!  The Turkish delight we used to get in Iraq was usually pink, with a hint of rose flavour and crunchy pistachios in the middle.  I love using funky flavoured milks to pour over my granola (like this and this), chocolate or hazelnut milk is usually my faves but I [...]
