All in Nutrition
These brownies are not a traditional cake-like consistency; they’re much denser (almost like fudge). This is a good thing in my opinion because they fill you up so you don’t eat as many of them! Not only that, but they’re high in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fibre and protein, they’re refined sugar-free and they’re packed with all sorts of natural goodness to offer a long list of health benefits!
I am always looking for snack recipes that are simple to make, delicious to eat and nourishing for my body. These choc mint bites are one of my favourite go-to snack treats, as they contain fibre-rich dates, omega-friendly nuts, satiating protein and just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy my cravings. My friends at The Women’s Pic love them too – so much, in fact, that they featured my recipe on their website! Check it out and let me know what you think!
These vegan pumpkin protein muffins are delicious and super easy to make! They're protein rich, free from refined sugar and packed with immune-boosting vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They make a great go-to snack and will help keep hunger at bay without filling you up with highly-processed, empty calories. I’ve tried this recipe with self-raising flour, spelt flour and almond meal flour. Each behaves a bit differently and may affect muffin density. Feel free to play around with this based on what you have in your cupboard, but also based on any dietary restrictions you may have.
The state of the world right now is pretty chaotic, wouldn’t you say? Rather than getting sucked into all the craziness, hype, scare tactics and hoarding, I’m just living life, but have taken a more low-key approach. I’m still fueling my body with healthy wholefoods, but rather than going to the shops or restaurants, I’m taking a more considered (and considerate) approach by using up what I’ve already got on hand. So while my love of cooking is lacking on the best of days, I’m rewarded knowing that I can go into the kitchen, find an ingredient and turn it into something tasty and nutrient-rich.
If people ask, I’m happy to share my experiences and learnings, but I try not to be pushy or preachy. Some people hate labels and are very put off by the word “veganism”. For those, I use the term “plant-based”. Others find the idea of being vegan very limiting and say things like, “So, you can’t eat meat?” Let’s be clear: I can eat whatever I want. However I choose not to partake in animal products. It’s far less about restriction and much more about choice.
I love a nice fresh juice and this one didn’t disappoint! Made with loads of fresh veg and a small bit of fruit just to add a bit of sweetness, this one definitely put a smile on my dial.
