You know sometimes when you come across a recipe and straight away you think "This looks too difficult" and you move on before actually reading the recipe and knowing what goes into it, well for me, homemade gnocchi was one of those recipes! I'd seen a few people making homemade sweet potato gnocchi but I've always thought there is no way this is not going to be fiddly! Now I realise how completely wrong I was!
The secret ingredient in these blondies and what makes them healthy is – you’ve probably already guessed it – CHICKPEAS! Most of the healthy blondie recipes out there include some sort of nut butter. I wanted to create a nut free recipe for those of you allergic to nuts, and this is the result! Healthy, nut free, vegan, gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free.
This smoothie tastes so so good, kind of like a chocolate milkshake! But all the ingredients will nourish and feed your body. The healthy carbs (from the banana) and protein (from the added protein powder) make it an excellent breakfast or post-workout meal.
This banana blueberry baked oatmeal is vegan, dairy free and can easily be made gluten free. You could add some protein powder, nuts or seeds to make it a more well rounded breakfast.
Making homemade granola is easier than you think. The best thing about making your own granola is that you can customise it to your personal taste. If you like it sweet, add more sweetener. If you don't like raisins, leave them out! The second best thing is that you can avoid all those added calories, processed sugars and other unnecessary ingredients! It's a nice feeling knowing exactly what's going into your body and that it's actually doing you some good!
Crispy and golden on the outside, soft in the middle and an absolute delight to look at! You won't want to go back to plain potatoes ever again!
Quick Prawn Coconut Curry This dish has become a dinner staple in my household. Whenever I'm stuck for meal ideas or want something quick and easy, I always turn to this quick prawn coconut curry. This is my version of a 'curry in a hurry' - It will only take 15-20 minutes for a lovely, warming curry that's full of flavours. This recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free and can easily be made vegetarian and vegan by replacing the prawns with more vegetables (potatoes, cauliflower, butternut squash...the options are endless!) I also like making a chicken version and a bean version, all equally as good! This quick prawn coconut curry is a great option for those evenings when you have very little [...]
Two raw, soft and sweet heart shaped cookies with a layer of tangy raspberry chia jam sandwiched in between them - The perfect healthy sweet treat to make for that special someone whether it's for valentine's day, an anniversary, or just as cute gesture of love and appreciation.
Guacamole goes with everything: salads, vegetables, meat, in sandwiches...I make so many different variations all the time depending on what ingredients I have, but mostly how lazy I'm feeling! Usually, I'll scoop a ripe avocado onto a plate, mash it with a fork, add lots of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of pepper and call it 'Guacamole'. It tastes so good and fresh simply like that, but if you're having Mexican food (say Fajitas!) then you have to do it properly.
I've been on a massive peanut butter kick the last few days when usually I'm more of a Tahini girl. I go through these phases where I crave a specific food and want to eat it everyday and right now, peanut butter is that food! I've been eating it straight out of the jar with a spoon.
