Chocolate Porridge Recipe (Vegan, Gluten-free)

Chocolate Porridge Recipe (Vegan, Gluten-free)

Chocolate for breakfast, who could say no to that? I love porridge, and adding chocolate can only make it taste that much more delicious. I'm sure you would all agree with me! However, just because this recipe has the word 'chocolate' in its title it does not mean it's not healthy, in fact, it's the opposite. Full of good carbs, natural sweeteners, good fats and antioxidants. This chocolate porridge recipe only takes 10 minutes to make (because who has more than 10 minutes to prepare breakfast!)

Sometimes all you need to lift your mood and energy is a nice, cold and refreshing smoothie! And what's more refreshing than a tropical mango banana and coconut smoothie?Even the colour is bright and cheerful! Naturally sweet from the mango and banana with a hint of coconut.

Coconut Almond Quinoa Granola

Coconut Almond Quinoa Granola

One of the main things I like about granola is its convenience. You can make a big batch, store it in an air tight container and know you have breakfast sorted for the next few weeks. Very handy for days when you need a quick breakfast or snack.

If you've been following me for a while you will know how much I absolutely love overnight oats! It's definitely my go-to breakfast recipe especially if I know I'm going to be in a rush in the morning and won't have much time to prepare breakfast. There are so many fun ways to change it around so that each morning you have a completely different tasting breakfast!

Chocolate, Almond and Baobab Nicecream

Chocolate, Almond and Baobab Nicecream

Banana ice cream is by far the best, tastiest and healthiest way to cool down on a hot summer's day, in my opinion. It's so quick to make, given that you have bananas in your freezer which I make sure I always do during summer in anticipation for such scorching days, and it's so creamy and delicious without any guilt whatsoever!

Chocolate Cherry Protein Smoothie

Chocolate Cherry Protein Smoothie

Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to get some fruit and veg into your daily diet. It's also one of the easiest ways to create a balanced meal with sufficient amounts of carbohydrates, proteins and fats!

Vegan Avocado Banana Bread

Vegan Avocado Banana Bread

I absolutely adore this recipe! This bread is so moist, sweet and really good for you! Baking is my passion, I can easily live on baked goods (breads, cakes, cookies...you name it!), but they have to be healthy, of course! Otherwise the guilt would totally take over, not to mention the bloating and mood swings that follow eating sugary, fatty goods!

Banana, Date & Almond Buckwheat Porridge

Banana, Date & Almond Buckwheat Porridge

If you're familiar with the concept of overnight oats, buckwheat porridge is similar but with a slight twist. Buckwheat is one of those ingredients that not may people are familiar with, outside the health community of course! You can now easily get hold of buckwheat as it's available in most supermarkets and online. I've also noticed more and more brands adding it to their granola, muesli and snack bars.

How to Make Healthy Porridge (Video)

How to Make Healthy Porridge (Video)

I filmed a short video showing you how to make healthy porridge - all you need is oats, some form of liquid and a pan! Typically when I make porridge I would add some cinnamon to flavour, a mashed banana, some dried fruit (dates and raisins are my favourote!) for some natural sweetness and some nuts, seeds or nut butter for some healthy fats and a bit of crunch. To top it off, i like to add some fresh fruit, berries and whatever else I fancy on that particular day.

Mixed Berry Chia Pudding

Mixed Berry Chia Pudding

This recipe is as easy as they get! You literally only need 3 main ingredients and then you can add whatever else you like. Chia seeds have very quickly become one of my pantry staples that I can't live without! I've been using them particularly in baking as a substitute for eggs, especially when I'm looking for something denser and less spongy. I think chia eggs work so much better than flax eggs, does anyone else think that?
