Mocha Buckwheat Pudding (Vegan | GF | High Protein)

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! I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I could I would eat breakfast foods for breakfast, lunch AND dinner. I wake up looking forward to it, so I wanted to share with you my current favourite breakfast that's easy to make, balanced and tastes so good. A lot of people seem to struggle with breakfast ideas, especially breakfasts that are healthy with good amounts of protein, fibre and healthy fats. I recently rediscovered buckwheat pudding, which I hadn't had since making this blueberry buckwheat pudding. It's [...]

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

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. Make a big batch of this high protein vegan granola to have on your kitchen counter for when you're feeling snacky. 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 [...]

Vegan Baklava Porridge

Vegan Baklava Porridge

A creamy porridge recipe that tastes like a dessert! This vegan baklava porridge is my favourite porridge recipe of all time. Getting out of bed in the mornings when it's cold and dark is a challenge. What helps me is knowing I'm going to eat something delicious for breakfast. A bowl of warming porridge. I often say that eating soup is like giving your belly a big warm hug. I also think that porridge is the breakfast equivalent to soup. Nourishing, delicious and so cosy. If you've never had the pleasure of trying baklava before and you're wondering what it is - it's a Middle Eastern dessert made with a sweet flakey pastry, nuts and lots of syrup or honey. [...]

Protein Fruit & Seed Bars

Protein Fruit & Seed Bars

A hearty snack bar - these protein fruit & seed bars also make a great on-the-go breakfast on busy mornings. Packed with seeds & dried fruit all topped off with a decadent layer of smooth dark chocolate! I use nuts and nut butters in a lot of my desserts, baking and snack recipes. Every time I post a recipe I can guarantee I'll get at least one person asking for a nut-free alternative. Nuts can easily be replaced with seeds and nut butters with tahini or sunflower seed butter. I thought it was about time I created a recipe that's completely nut-free, but still packed with healthy fats & fibre. I also added in some protein powder to make it [...]
