Protein Cookie Dough Cups

Protein Cookie Dough Cups

* This post is sponsored by Juice Plus+* An easy snack that requires few ingredients and steps - these protein cookie dough cups are no-bake and super tasty! I’ve always loved adding protein powder to my treats and snacks as you can easily bump up the nutrient content. Sweetened protein powders also add lots of flavour without having to add too much sweetener or not needing to add any at all! It’s a great alternative to flour in baking, but I prefer to use it in no-bake recipes as I feel the taste comes through a lot better. I created this recipe using Complete Vanilla Shake by Juice Plus+®, which is completely vegan and dairy-free. High in protein with some healthy [...]

Za’atar Cornish New Potato & Sausage Bake

Za’atar Cornish New Potato & Sausage Bake

*This post is sponsored by Seasonal Spuds* A wholesome meal with in season Cornish New Potatoes and added protein in the form of vegan sausages making this bake a well-rounded, filling and satisfying meal! Packed with flavour from the za’atar mix – a popular Middle Eastern herb mix mainly made up of finely crushed dried thyme, sumac and sesame seeds. I grew up in the Middle East and so this spice mixture is really close to my heart. It’s still not very well known in the UK, but is now stocked in most major supermarkets either in the spice isle or a the world food isle. Za’atar goes well with many types of dishes – mainly used on bread with [...]

Mocha Overnight Oats & Mocha Granola

Mocha Overnight Oats & Mocha Granola

A delicious mocha overnight oats recipe topped with homemade crunchy mocha granola – both made using Rheal’s new Mushroom Coffee. Overnight oats has been my go-to breakfast for years. It’s just so convenient to prepare your breakfast the night before and have it waiting for you the next morning. It’s also a healthy option for breakfast – packed with fibre in the oats and by adding things like nut butters and nuts you can get some healthy fats and protein in there too! I always like to have a jar of homemade granola in my kitchen to enjoy as a quick breakfast or snack when I’m feeling peckish and craving something sweet and crunchy. It’s also nice to have something [...]

American Sweet Potato Bean Chilli

American Sweet Potato Bean Chilli

* This post is sponsored by American Sweet Potatoes* I’m a huge fan of meal prepping and batch cooking. It’s a great way to take the stress out of eating healthy as well as to save time and money! It’s also such a nice feeling knowing you have a pre-prepared meal waiting for you after a long and stressful day. It’s International Sweet Potato Week between the 1st and 11th April and I’m collaborating with American Sweet Potatoes to create a quick and easy prep-ahead of time lunch recipe that’s healthy, but also packed with flavour. I decided to make a vegan chilli as it’s easy and uses cheap ingredients that are easy to get hold of. I do use sweet [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Chocolate Mug Cake

Vegan Gluten-free Chocolate Mug Cake

Being in lockdown is the best time to put on your apron and get your bake on! If you’re bored and need some positive distraction, a quick baking session can only do you some good. Also, being in quarantine means it’s not as easy to nip out and get a slice of cake when you’re really craving something sweet. Now more than ever we’re looking for small comforts to get us through these unusual and uncertain times. Cake and a cup of tea may not solve any of our problems, but it can give us a short sense of relief and distraction. The best we can do right now is try to stay as positive as possible. There is some [...]
