Vegan Tahini Brownies

So these brownies were kind of an accident. Is it just me or are the best recipes usually the ones that don't go to plan, instead they result in something even better! I was trying to make egg free chocolate cookies, but they didn't turn out exactly the way I planned, so I decided to turn them into brownies instead...and here's the result!

Healthified Homemade Nutella (Video)

When you think of Nutella, you think 'hazelnut+cocoa', but when you look at the ingredients a typical jar is made up of only 13% hazelnuts! In fact, the first 2 ingredients are sugar and oil! That's not to say you cannot enjoy it from time to time as part of a balanced diet, but if you want to eat it on a daily basis, why not make you own healthy version that tastes equally as good!

Raw Chocolate & Nut Energy Bites

Raw Chocolate & Nut Energy Bites I've recently cut out a few things from my diet including added sugar, gluten, processed foods and caffeinated drinks to try and heal my gut and reduce my anxiety levels. There are 2 things I'm really REALLY missing so far - tea and chocolate!  Over the years I have developed the habit of drinking way too much black tea.

This cheesecake is vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free.

Homemade Coconut Oil Chocolate

Chocolate, Almond and Baobab Nicecream

Banana ice cream is by far the best, tastiest and healthiest way to cool down on a hot summer's day, in my opinion. It's so quick to make, given that you have bananas in your freezer which I make sure I always do during summer in anticipation for such scorching days, and it's so creamy and delicious without any guilt whatsoever!
