In the summer I love nothing more than a lovely fresh green smoothie for breakfast. If it’s a spin class morning, I like to enjoy it after but if I am strength training, I need a boost of power before I hit the weights. This is my recent most favourite to give me that boost on a summer’s morning! One of my favourite Plant based protein powder is by ThatProtein and contains Baobab, recognised for its immune boosting properties, high iron and vitamin C nutritional profile!
Nut allergy sufferers stay away! I’m afraid these slices are made almost entirely from nuts in natural, butter, oil and flour form. This kind of snack is my absolute heaven. I love nuts, all of them and I love a sweet and salty treat. However, I would recommend moderation as they are very calorie dense. They are gluten free, packed with good fats and contain no refined sugar so much better than any of the shop bought industrial plastic wrapped processed snack you can buy on the high street. Sure to satisfy a sweet craving without the nasty ingredients!
There are many many versions of these types of snacks you could make, but this is a good place to start…Build the confidence and change up the ingredients to suit your tastebuds and what’s in your cupboards! This recipe requires very few ingredients, no food processor involved so minimal washing up…10 mins to make, 30 minutes to set in the fridge and they’re ready to go! What more can you ask for from a delicious cheeky snack!
We always talk about eating the rainbow - incorporating lots of different colour foods, especially vegetables, in your diet. The benefits of each colour is to provide your body with different phytonutrients. This pepper stew includes red, yellow and green peppers. So many people just reach for their favourite pepper each week so we decided to celebrate all the colours with this stew. We also added both a red and yellow chilli to again increase diversity.
This recipe is for all of you out there who like a simple tasty one pot that keeps on giving! We all need those one-pot recipes in our busy lives. Simple, yet delicious heart warming, ideal to prep in advance and…packed full of vegetables, plant based protein, fibres and all round goodness. Leave the chorizo out for a vegetarian option. Delicious served with a warm corn tortilla wrap, mashed avocado and soured cream.
During the winter months we need warming comfort food and a risotto is perfect. This is lighter than a traditional risotto and uses buckwheat groats rather than a risotto rice. Buckwheat is a seed that is related to rhubarb and is naturally gluten free. See the tip below for the health benefits of buckwheat. This risotto is made with mushrooms. In the photo I have used chestnut, but use any kind you can find - a packet of mixed wild mushrooms if you can find would be perfect.
In August we are always looking for ways to use up a glut of courgette from the veg patch! This salad recipe is perfect. It's a good mixture of carbohydrates, green vegetables and fat from the avocado and dressing. This stores well in the fridge (without the avocado and dressing) and so can be taken into work for a healthy packed lunch.
