Chocolate Cherry Protein Smoothie
Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to get some fruit and veg into your daily diet. It's also one of the easiest ways to create a balanced meal with sufficient amounts of carbohydrates, proteins and fats!
Vegan Avocado Banana Bread
I absolutely adore this recipe! This bread is so moist, sweet and really good for you! Baking is my passion, I can easily live on baked goods (breads, cakes, cookies...you name it!), but they have to be healthy, of course! Otherwise the guilt would totally take over, not to mention the bloating and mood swings that follow eating sugary, fatty goods!
Banana, Date & Almond Buckwheat Porridge
If you're familiar with the concept of overnight oats, buckwheat porridge is similar but with a slight twist. Buckwheat is one of those ingredients that not may people are familiar with, outside the health community of course! You can now easily get hold of buckwheat as it's available in most supermarkets and online. I've also noticed more and more brands adding it to their granola, muesli and snack bars.
Homemade Almond Milk 2 Ways – Vanilla & Chocolate (Video)
Homemade almond milk is definitely way creamier and richer than the ones I've tried from the supermarket and the great thing about making your own is that you can make it as sweet as you like and add other flavours like cinnamon, vanilla and chocolate (like I'm doing in this recipe).
Raspberry Chia Jam
Before embarking on my healthy eating journey, I never thought to make my own homemade jam. It just seemed like too much of a faff and when you have endless options at the supermarket, why bother? But how amazing would it be to be able to make your own healthy homemade jam that's sugar free, mostly fruit and takes only 5 minutes to make? Seems to good to be true, right?
How to Make Healthy Porridge (Video)
I filmed a short video showing you how to make healthy porridge - all you need is oats, some form of liquid and a pan! Typically when I make porridge I would add some cinnamon to flavour, a mashed banana, some dried fruit (dates and raisins are my favourote!) for some natural sweetness and some nuts, seeds or nut butter for some healthy fats and a bit of crunch. To top it off, i like to add some fresh fruit, berries and whatever else I fancy on that particular day.
Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Sriracha Mayo
These fries will change your life! Well not really, but if you're trying to be healthier but still want to enjoy chips or 'fries' from time to time (or everyday!) then this might just make your life a little bit brighter.
Gluten Free Vegetarian Spaghetti
As some of you already know, I like keeping my recipes simple. To make this gluten free vegetarian spaghetti I'm making a simple tomato sauce using canned tomatoes and tomato puree and flavouring it with garlic, basil, chilli flakes and lemon jucie. I'm adding peas for some extra colour and texture but feel free to use minced meat or prawns for some protein.
Healthy Caramel Slices
Would you believe me if I told you you can make healthy caramel slices without having to use flour, sugar, oil or butter? Not only can it be done, but they will be out of this world delicious! You won't even be able to tell that it's healthy!
Mixed Berry Chia Pudding
This recipe is as easy as they get! You literally only need 3 main ingredients and then you can add whatever else you like. Chia seeds have very quickly become one of my pantry staples that I can't live without! I've been using them particularly in baking as a substitute for eggs, especially when I'm looking for something denser and less spongy. I think chia eggs work so much better than flax eggs, does anyone else think that?
