Chocolate Tahini Doughnuts (Vegan, Gluten-free)

Chocolate Tahini Doughnuts (Vegan, Gluten-free)

Chocolate Tahini Doughnuts I have yet another tahini recipe for you. I just couldn't resist. It's such a delicious and nutritionally amazing ingredient that I just want to add it/drizzle it onto anything and everything! There is no doubt that I eat tahini on a daily basis, either in my breakfast in the form of a drizzle over my smoothies, mixed into my porridge, or on the side of my lunch in hummus or just drizzled over my salad/veggies. These chocolate tahini doughnuts are vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar free made using oats instead of flour, tahini instead of oil and dates instead of a refined sweetener. Not only are they much healthier than normal doughnuts, they're also super dense, [...]

Anti-inflammatory Golden Turmeric Milk

Anti-inflammatory Golden Turmeric Milk

Anti-inflammatory Golden Turmeric Milk As some of you may already know, I've been suffering with eczema, IBS, anxiety and low mood for many years (click here to find out more). My immune system seems to be very active and so I have a lot of inflammation in my body. Chronic inflammation is bad news as it's the precursor to many chronic diseases, which is worrying, so I try to eat as many anti-inflammatory foods as possible. Turmeric being one of them. Turmeric is said to be one of the best natural anti-inflammatory agents out there, definitely something to include in the diet, especially if you have any kind of auto-immune conditions and allergies. When it comes to making anti-inflammatory golden turmeric milk, there [...]

Cookie Dough Chocolate Bars

Cookie Dough Chocolate Bars

Cookie Dough Chocolate Bars A lush cookie dough centre made with chickpeas in a chocolate shell shaped like a chocolate bar! ? Don't you agree they look adorable? You probably all know by now how much I love using beans and pulses in my sweet treats. From lentil porridge, black bean cookie dough brownies, chickpea blondies and black bean chocolate cupcakes and black bean peanut butter brownies. To make these cookie dough chocolate bars, I'm using a similar recipe to the one I used to make these cookie dough truffles, only I made it much simpler and used fewer ingredients. They're grain-free, gluten-free and are so simple to make! To create the chocolate bar shape, I used this chocolate shaped mould that [...]

Vegan Lentil Tacos

Vegan Lentil Tacos

Vegan Lentil Tacos Lentils are something I could never imagine living without! They're such a nutritionally dense food and especially important to include in a diet that don't include many animal products like mine. High in folate, iron, potassium, zinc, manganese, B1, B5 as well as protein, you can see why I would recommend including in anyone's diet. They're also super high in fibre aiding digestion and helping nourish the friendly bacteria in the gut. Lentils and beans have an exceptionally low glycemic index meaning eating them won't give you a huge blood sugar spike compared to when consuming other foods containing the same amount of carbs such as bread, pasta and rice. Consuming beans and pulses like lentils is associated with a lower [...]

Moringa Lime Chocolate Tarts

Moringa Lime Chocolate Tarts

Moringa Lime Chocolate Tarts Now that the weather is finally starting to warm up it seems fitting to focus on chilled sweet treats. Expect lots of ice creams, lollies, refreshing drinks and raw desserts in the next coming weeks. Treats like these decadent Moringa lime chocolate tarts! The lovely Jacquelyn from FERA kindly sent me some of their Moringa powder to create some nutritionally dense desserts. I loved finding out about her story and the reasons behind starting her business. She suffered with chronic health issues, which she was able to overcome naturally by changing her diet and adopting a more holistic lifestyle. Her journey is something I can relate to as a fellow chronic disease sufferer. I always find such [...]

A Full Day of Healthy Eating (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

A Full Day of Healthy Eating (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

A Full Day of Healthy Eating (Vegan & Gluten-Free) A few of you have asked me to shoot a 'what I eat in a day' style video and I really liked that idea. So I decided to film a full day of healthy recipes - breakfast, lunch and dinner and finish it off with some snack/dessert suggestions. I really enjoy watching these kind of videos as they give me new ideas and inspire me to try something different. I wanted to share recipes that are quick and easy to make and are also healthy and delicious. This way you can enjoy nourishing food without feeling like you're missing out or feeling like you're on a 'diet'. As soon as you think [...]

Vegan Chocolate Hot Cross Bun Ice Cream Sandwiches

Vegan Chocolate Hot Cross Bun Ice Cream Sandwiches

Vegan Chocolate Hot Cross Bun Ice Cream Sandwiches This truly is the ultimate Easter weekend treat. Vegan chocolate hot cross buns served with vegan ice cream instead of plain butter, because if you're going to do it, you might as well go all out! They're really easy to make (watch video at the top of the page) and so much tastier than shop bought hot cross buns with less sugar and completely plant-based. To make them even more decadent I had to add in some Love Cocoa 70% Ecuador dairy-free organic chocolate. Let's be honest, every treat tastes better with chocolate, well almost every treat. When I think a dessert will taste better with chocolate, I'm the first to add it in! It's [...]

Raw Salted Caramel Brownies

Raw Salted Caramel Brownies

Raw Salted Caramel Brownies A treat to satisfy your chocolate cravings without any processed sugar, processed oils or any other nasty added ingredients. I'm a huge fan of energy/bliss balls - basically any snack made out of dates and nuts. They make a great snack because they're high in fibre, good fats and they're sweet without the need to add any kind of processed refined sugars. Nothing beats whole dates as a form of sweetener, not even the sugar-free varieties, which we are yet to find out their long-term effects as they're relatively new to our diets. Instead of blending dates and nuts and shaping them into balls, I added in some cocoa powder into the mix and pressed the mixture into [...]

Vegan Easter Creme Eggs

Vegan Easter Creme Eggs

Vegan Easter Creme Eggs What is Easter without a creme egg or two? Or at least some sort of egg shaped chocolate. During my Uni years I used to promise myself I would eat at least one giant Easter egg, but seem to fail. I've always considered Easter eggs overly prised and a bit awkward to eat. I usually end up eating way more than I would usually do just because I don't realise how much I've eaten until it's too late. It's not like you can keep count of how many squares you've eaten and because it's considered a special treat, I end up saying to myself "go on, just have a little more" and before you know it I've eaten half the [...]
