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 [...]

Puy Lentil Tabouleh Salad

Puy Lentil Tabouleh Salad

Puy Lentil Tabouleh Salad Here's a delicious, quick and easy meal idea for lunch, dinner or as a side. This puy Lentil tabbouleh salad is quick to put together and an easy way to get more veg and fibre into your daily diet. I grew up in the Middle East so it's no surprise that Middle Eastern cuisine is my favourite. It can be really healthy as well. It is usually really heavy in red meat, oil/fat and simple carbs, mainly white rice and white bread. However, it can easily be made much healthier by swapping out the red meat with better protein options (tofu, beans/pulses, chicken), substituting the simple carbs with wholegrains (quinoa, brown rice, wholemeal flour) and using (much) less oil. Parsley is [...]

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 [...]
