Mango Yoghurt Protein Frozen Bites

Mango Yoghurt Protein Frozen Bites

These mango yoghurt protein frozen bites are a healthy and nutritious way to keep cool on a scorching hot summer day. They're made with only 3 main ingredients and are so easy to put together. I have to admit that when the weather is hot, there are very few things I actually crave eating. I hate the idea of cooking hot meals when the house already feels like an oven and I'm sweating even in my short shorts, vest and multiple fans on around the house. All I want is something cool, chilled and refreshing. I could probably eat ice cream and iced lollies all day every day during hot summer days. Although I almost never buy them from shops [...]

Spicy Roasted Butter Beans (Healthy)

These spicy roasted butter beans are the perfect healthy snack when you're craving something crunchy and salty. You only need a handful of ingredients to make them and you can easily adjust the flavour to your liking. I'm obsessed with anything butter beans at the moment. A few weeks ago I shared this Middle Eastern butter bean recipe inspired by my Iraqi upbringing as well as this creamy butter bean & tofu stew. Both of which are now staples in my household as they're both nourishing, easy and so quick to put together. There's something so comforting and satisfying about butter beans. Their creamy texture and mild flavour works so well in so many recipes. I've recently discovered they work [...]

Curry Spice Tofu Burgers (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Curry Spice Tofu Burgers (Vegan & Gluten-free)

An easy plant-based 'Fakeaway' idea made with healthier ingredients - these curry spice tofu burgers are delicious & a great source of protein! I'm a huge fan of tofu - it's a great plant-based source of protein + calcium, both of which can be lacking in many plant-based meals. It's also such a versatile ingredient, one that I'm always trying new ways to be creative with. I love coming up with fun, exciting/tasty ways to include it into healthy meals. Due to its high protein levels, it's also an easy way to increase the protein content of a disg without adding processed fake meats. I made these tofu patties a while ago and they were a huge hit, so I [...]

Vegan Chickpea Peanut Butter Curry

Vegan Chickpea Peanut Butter Curry

A speedy curry that will leave you feeling full and satisfied. Once you try this vegan chickpea peanut butter curry, you’ll be making it all the time! Last year I made this easy and quick coconut chickpea curry which has since become my go-to speedy dinner. It's so convenient and it's the kind of recipe that you probably already have all the required ingredients for in your cupboard. Even if you don't, you can easily adjust it depending on what you have available or to your liking. I wanted to make something similar, but with different flavours just so I have a variation to fall back on if I don't have coconut milk for example or if I'm simply craving a change, [...]

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 [...]

Vegan Protein Gingerbread Hot Chocolate

Vegan Protein Gingerbread Hot Chocolate

What's better than a warming hot cup of cocoa? This vegan protein gingerbread hot chocolate is exactly what you need to stay warm this winter. Up until recently, I was never a hot chocolate girl and had never been interested in it...ever! Which is strange considering I'm such a huge chocolate fan. I've always preferred to eat my chocolate rather than drink it. Around this time last year, all that changed. A chocolate brand gifted me some of their chocolate bars along with a tub of their hot chocolate. I thought why not give it a try since I have it. That was the day I developed this insatiable taste for hot chocolate that never went away. Most hot chocolate [...]
