Tofu Quinoa Sushi Bowl

Tofu Quinoa Sushi Bowl

Tofu Quinoa Sushi Bowl A quick and delicious meal that you can enjoy for lunch or dinner. This tofu quinoa sushi bowl is both tasty and nutritious! For many people, January is about developing new habits, self improvement and meeting health goals. However, this tends to be short lived as the temptation is for us to flip our diet on its head and change it completely as well as embark on a crazy new fitness regime that our bodies aren't used to. The combination of both just gets on top of us and we lose the will to carry it through. I've been there so I know exactly what it's like. Instead what we should be doing is making small changes here and [...]

Bramley Apple Sweet Potato Sausage Hash

Bramley Apple Sweet Potato Sausage Hash

Bramley Apple Sweet Potato Sausage Hash * This post is sponsored by Great British Apples* This is not your average potato hash recipe, this is a sweet potato hash with the addition of delicious tart apple chunks and veggie sausages as a good source of protein. It’s really quick and easy to put together and you can enjoy it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The leftovers would also make a really nice side dish to other meals too. If you’re not vegan/plant-based you can go ahead and top it with a couple of fried or poached eggs, although the sausages add more than enough protein to make it a filling and substantial meal as it is. You don’t have to [...]

Vegan and Gluten-Free Crepes

Vegan and Gluten-Free Crepes

Vegan and Gluten-Free Crepes Delicious vegan and gluten-free crepes made with oat flour and filled with a protein yoghurt filling to help you feeling full and sustained until lunch time. I try to start my day with oats. It's such a nutritious alternative to white bread/flour especially first thing in the morning. I also try to make sure my breakfast contain some protein and a bit of fat to help keep my blood sugar steady. Eating a carby breakfast like bread, cereal or even porridge without any form of fat and protein leaves me with terrible sugar crashes feeling jittery, irritable and unable to concentrate only an hour after eating! Not ideal when trying to have a productive day. I really do believe that [...]

Coconut Edamame Noodle Soup (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Coconut Edamame Noodle Soup (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Coconut Edamame Noodle Soup (Vegan & Gluten-free) A delicious, warming and comforting bowl of noodle soup packed with protein and vegetables. Whoever thought of adding noodles to soup is a genius! Two comforting meals merged together can only result in something even more amazing! This Coconut Edamame Noodle Soup is all I've been craving the past couple of days. It really looked like spring was finally in the air and the cold days of winter were behind us, but it seems I spoke too soon! Yesterday and today have felt rather chilli and I have to admit I did resort to turning the heating back on, which I hoped I wouldn't have to do again until next winter. To make [...]

Peanut Butter Protein Bars

Peanut Butter Protein Bars

Peanut Butter Protein Bars I love having protein bars at home to snack on, but the shop bought ones tend to be really expensive (especially the plant-based ones) and not very easy to find! I haven't actually made any in a while and recently I've felt like I really need a good protein snack at home now that I'm finding less and less time to meal prep. Since starting college again I feel like my life is so out of control! Some of you may know that I started a three year nutrition course back in 2014, mid way through I found that my business was suffering because I was spending a lot of time studying an preparing for exams and writing [...]

Protein Chocolate Mug Cake (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Protein Chocolate Mug Cake (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Protein Chocolate Mug Cake You know those times when you really really crave a slice of chocolate cake (or in my case any kind of chocolatey baked good), but don't have anything remotely like cake in the house and wish that you had. I'm sharing a recipe that will come in handy for exactly those moments! A chocolate protein mug cake that's super rich and decadent but much healthier than a regular cake. Made with protein powder, ground almonds, cocoa, plant-based milk and almond butter. I also used a little maple syrup for extra sweetness but you can absolutely replace that with more plant-based milk instead to make it lower in sugar. For me, this is a life saver! Every now [...]

American Style Vegan Burgers

American Style Vegan Burgers

American Style Vegan Burgers Who doesn't love a delicious juicy burger? I certainly do! It's such a classic example of a comfort meal. One that's easy and quick to make and is very satisfying. Nothing beats a burger and fries when you're having a bad day and need a good 'stomach hug’, for a cosy sofa-supper or to bring friends or family gatherings to life. What if I told you, you can create fully plant-based burgers at home that taste absolutely scrumptious, are super-good for you and come in a beautiful rainbow of colours? Well you can, and I’ve teamed up with plant-based food brand Reroot Foods to create some delicious recipes using their new range GOODMINZ – fresh mince, [...]

Black Bean Avocado & Mango Tacos

Black Bean Avocado & Mango Tacos

Black Bean Avocado & Mango Tacos I've always found avocado and mango to be such an excellent combination. The rich texture and buttery taste of the avocado complements the complex sweetness of the mango so well! I usually combine them in salads like I did in my kale, mango and avocado salad. Another thing that goes well with avocados is beans! I find beans so comforting. There's something about their texture that when you bite into them you know you're giving your body something nourishing without feeling like you're actually eating 'healthy'. Unlike the feeling you get from eating a boring salad. You know it's good for you so you eat it, but it doesn't offer much in terms of the feeling [...]

Organic Chocolate Cherry Smoothie Bowl More and more people are choosing to buy organic produce. Whether that be to avoid pesticides, for environmental reasons or for health reasons, there is no doubt that the UK’s appetite for organic food is growing. You can see it in the ever growing organic section in supermarkets and organic drinks and breakfasts/snacks offered in some cafes. Organic food is best, no doubt about it. Here are a few reasons why: Organic food is good for you and in a lot of cases tastier and more delicious too! They have fewer pesticides and in some cases more nutrients.

Vegan Protein Snickers – Video

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 [...]
