Blueberry Soft Baked Bars

A soft oaty bake filled with blueberry yumminess! These blueberry soft baked bars make a great on-the-go breakfast or handy snack. They taste like a treat, but are much better for you than your average shop bought snack bars. When I first moved to the UK, one of the things I absolutely loved eating for breakfast were breakfast bars, specifically the soft baked kind with the fruity fillings. I loved the softness of the outer case and the sweetness of the jammy tasting filling. I hadn't had one of those bars in years, but was recently reminded of them when I was scanning the supermarket snack isle. I had this overwhelming urge to recreate something similar, but with a healthier [...]

Vegan Tiramisu Overnight Oats

Delicious, healthy and balanced breakfast for coffee lovers. This vegan tiramisu overnight oats recipe is a great prepare-ahead-of-time breakfast to ensure you have the best start to your day.  Overnight oats is such a life saver on busy mornings. I like waking up knowing I don't have to figure out what I'm having to eat. I also like knowing I don't have to lift a finger to prepare it! Especially if I'm rushing to get ready and step out of the door.  I'm the type of person that goes to bed already dreaming about breakfast. That can't be just me, can it? I wake up excited to eat breakfast, especially when I know it's already prepped. The beauty of making [...]

*This post in sponsored by KoRo* Fruity bars made with healthier ingredients - these vegan gluten-free cherry oat bars make a delicious snack or on-the-go breakfast. It's always handy to have a healthier treat in the fridge to grab when you're feeling snacky, but I also feel these cherry oat bars make a really nice light dessert.

Blended Matcha Overnight Oats

*This post is Sponsored by Very* January is widely considered to be the wellness month of the year. From setting New Years resolutions, following ‘cleanse’ diets, cutting out booze for dry January or setting a goal to eat less animal products for Veganuary. So many of us embark on a mission to improve our health, well-being and start the year the right way. The only problem is, for many, once January is over it’s more difficult to keep the momentum going. ‘Wellness fatigue’ kicks in and sticking to a healthy lifestyle becomes more difficult, tedious and seems to require a lot more effort. You’ve probably heard the phrase ‘it’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle’ a lot, but it’s true! [...]

Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. I could happily eat breakfast foods 3 times a day. I love preparing it too too - what I'm going to have for breakfast tends to be the first thing I think of when I open my eyes in the morning (I know I'm not alone in this!). Having said all that, some mornings I wake up and the That's why I love breakfasts that you can prepare in advance - either the night before or a couple of [...]

Christmas is always a hectic time of year for everyone, and we all deserve a good break post the madness of the big day. Cooking and food preparation of any kind is the last thing I want to think of in the days leading up to New Year’s day.

Food is always in excess around the holidays [...]

Chocolate Filled Peanut Butter Energy Balls

A delicious healthier snack to keep your craving at bay - these chocolate filled peanut butter energy balls are satisfying, yet made with healthier ingredients. I'm sure I'm not the only feeling this, but since the temperature suddenly dropped a couple of weeks ago, I seem to be finding myself a lot hungrier than usual. I want to eat all the time! The clocks going back and losing day light hasn't helped either. The days have become so gloomy that I'm finding myself seeking comfort in food. I do separate my 'treats' from my everyday snacks and I have to make an active effort not to constantly snack on unhealthy treats. A biscuit or a dessert here and there as [...]

Salsa Vegan Grilled Cheese

Great as a yummy savoury breakfast or a speedy comforting lunch! Some days you just need something really simple, yet decadent to lift up your mood. A grilled cheese in my eyes is the definition of simple comforts. It's almost like a pizza, but 10 times easer and faster to make. A grilled cheese on it's own is pure happiness, but add salsa to it and you elevate it to something so much more delicious! I used Holy Moly's new smokey red pepper & tomato salsa and it worked a treat! [...]
