Blueberry Banana Smoothie

Blueberry Banana Smoothie

Blueberry Banana Smoothie A delicious blend of frozen blueberries and bananas swirled in a glass, because everyone likes a pretty breakfast ;) I'm a creature of habit so when I find something I like, especially when it comes to food, I tend to eat it over and over again without making changes a) because I'm usually in the kitchen all day experimenting with recipes so I want something quick and easy for my own meals that requires no time or effort to make b) I try to pack my meals with as many nutrient dense ingredients as possible a) well, because sometimes I'm just lazy! For example when it comes to breakfast, if I make a smoothie I will make a green smoothie [...]

Nectarine Crumble (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Nectarine Crumble (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Nectarine Crumble (Vegan & Gluten-free) September marks the beginning of Autumn, shorter days, cooler evenings and comfort food. I can’t think of a better way to welcome this month than with a bowl of warm crumble with a generous serving of cold custard! With the GBBO in full swing (in case you haven’t noticed with all the tweets and facebook posts), everyone is in the mood for baking. Even though we would all like to spend countless hours decorating a cakes or creating patisserie style treats, the reality is that most of us just don’t have much time to bake.

We've had a few glorious, hot sunny days here in the UK, but unfortunately it looks like things are set to change on the weekend. I'm pretty sure that will surprise anyone. To make the most of what's left of this gorgeous weather, I made these fruity kombucha popsicles, filled with lots of delicious, juicy in season berries and kiwi for a an extra pop of colour.

Vegan Rocky Road Fudge

Vegan Rocky Road Fudge

I'm welcoming the new year with this vegan rocky road fudge recipe - creamy, indulgent and so so delicious. All while being gluten-free and dairy free. I opted to use xylitol to sweeten it so the fudge itself is sugar-free; however, I struggled to find vegan marshmallow that was also sugar-free, so I'm just using what I could get hold of!

Healthy Christmas Pudding Balls

Healthy Christmas Pudding Balls

I’m not going to argue that Christmas pudding is probably one of the perfect traditional post-Christmas dinner desserts; However, it does take hours to make yourself. Of course you always have the option of buying a ready made Christmas pudding which will most likely be full of sugars and additives. I’m not saying you shouldn’t indulge, but if you would prefer a healthier treat that you can make at home in less than 15 minutes, then I've got you covered.
