Recipe: Goji berry smoothie
This is without a doubt the prettiest smoothie around and the tastiest! Plus it comes with the powerful nutrient punch of gogi berries – known for their stratospheric levels of antioxidants, huge amounts of vit C, all the 8 essential amino acids, heaps of iron and yes, there’s plenty more. They make a great snack as they’re […]
3 pumpkin soup recipes you won’t get tired of
Doesn’t everyone have their own version of delicious pumpkin soup? Some use lemon. Some put in curry … I think every cafe in the country has their favourite recipe. Here are three takes that are a little different. Cumin Roasted Pumpkin and Kumara Soup Roasting veges and turning them into soup is a winner whatever root vegetables […]
Vegan Chocolate Brownie
This is one bold recipe! Tweaked by me. Inspired by Dana at The Minimalist Baker (a truly heavenly place to hang out on the interwebs). There’s just enough drys in here to give structure to the gooey fudgey deliciousness inside. And it’s not overly sweet, which means your toppings can have more of a stage. […]
Chewy chickpea cookies
I’m loving these high protein gluten-free cookies. They’re super easy to make, great for the lunch box and perfect for a mid morning cuppa. Warning: eating only one is a little tricky. The chia seeds act as an egg substitute bringing essential omegas and slow release energy, whilst also being another source of protein. But […]
Iron-rich truffles kids will love
And mums and dads! Here we combine iron rich foods – prunes, walnuts, raw cacao, pumpkin seed butter + dates – for a power packed nutritious snack. Serve these with a blueberry smoothie and you’ve got the important vit C to aid the iron absorption. Pumpkin seed butter is my new best friend. It’s full of […]
Pea pesto
Time on Instagram is well spent when I come across dishes as appealing as this quick cheesy pea pesto by Pepe Josephine at @pjantbased. This is an easy option for when there’s not a lot of veges in the house but for a bag of peas in the freezer. We all have those times, right? […]
Cranberry hazelnut chocolate bark
There’s no small amount of oil in this. I’m leaving the moderation of fat intake up to you. But it’s Christmas and this is beyond delicious. Proceed with caution. Cranberry Hazelnut Chocolate Bark Ingredients ¼ cup hazelnuts ¼ cup large coconut flakes ¼ cup cranberries ½ cup coconut oil ½ cup cacao/cocoa ¼ cup maple […]
Chocolate Cranberry Granola
Chocolate for breakfast is really ok. Seriously ok in fact. And what I love about this combo is that no one (as in smallish child) notices the buckwheat or the flaxseed. Or the fact that it’s no where near as sweet as those ‘healthy’ cereals from the supermarket. And the base ingredients are cheap and […]
Vegan waffles
We were firmly a pancake family on Sundays. That was until our lovely American neighbours moved in across the street and we learnt about waffles. We’ve been cranking them out ever since. This recipe is slightly adapted from Heather Crosby’s of Yum Universe. It’s a lot lower in fat than your standard waffle recipe so […]
Smokey Almonds
There are some foods that smell better than they taste. Agree? And there are some smells and tastes that are, … well, so ingrained that to reconnect with them on any level is kinda cool. {Can you seeing me skirting around the word bacon here? I just don’t want to have to think about how […]
