Vegan Protein Snickers – Video

Vegan Protein Snickers A treat to satisfy both you peanut butter AND chocolate cravings!  It's national peanut butter day! Although I'm pretty sure that most of us don't need an excuse to eat it on the daily :P It's such a versatile ingredient that can be used in so many recipes, form breakfasts, snacks, curries and of course lost and lots of desserts. Another thing that everyone loves are Snickers! So to celebrate national peanut butter day, I made these delicious vegan protein snickers. To keep them as healthy as possible, I  used a mixture of oat flour and vegan protein powder to create the base, topped with a layer of natural peanut butter and some peanuts to give it a more [...]

Superfood Chocolate Mousse Parfait – Video

Superfood Chocolate Mousse Parfait January is the time when everyone is on the hunt for healthy recipes that will help detox their bodies from the potential damage caused by the holiday's overeating and overindulging. And even though everyone seems to be on a diet or restricting their food intake, I still think there is room for desserts and treats, especially when they're super healthy like these superfood chocolate mousse parfait jars :D I'm usually wary of the word 'detox' when it's attached to a product as it's been over used and abused over the last few years. There are so many detox foods and diets out there promising to rid your body of toxins when in reality the body is fully capable of detoxifying itself. [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

Raspberry Almond Porridge

Nut butters can be such a life saver in the morning. They're a great go-to option, especially on those days when you need something quick or can't be bothered thinking of something to make but still want to eat something healthy. They're a great source of vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and protein to start your day off right. They're also a great addition to porridge.
