Berry Smoothie BowlA super quick way to a morning smoothie bowl. I deal in winter, using frozen fruits to bring that sweet zing of summer to your mornings.
Chocolate Fridge Cake – Gluten and Dairy FreeChocolate Fridge Cake is something I enjoyed as a child. The taste and smell is extremely evocative. I simply wanted to create a version of my childhood favourite that worked for those who cannot tolerate gluten (like me) and dairy.
Simple Baked FalafelA simple recipe for baked falafel. These budget-friendly lunchtime falafel are delicious in a salad, in a wholegrain pitta or with rice. Ideally they'd be served alongside some humous and/or tzatziki.
Ginger Tigernut CookiesTigernuts are actually not a nut at all but a starchy vegetable and a source of resistant starch. These cookies have a lot going for them nutritionally and have a fantastically scrumptious gingery taste.
Roasted Butternut Squash FalafelThese root vegetable falafels are sweet and nourishing and delicious! Made with roasted butternut squash, some gram flour and some chickpeas with seasoning, they're simple to make for younger family members too!
Claire’s Cacao and Chia AmazeballsFor Claire, Lent has always been an important part of the calendar. She has memories of her Grandma Ann immersed in the church community and according to Claire "she loved to bake, yet she always fasted from cakes, biscuits and the “sweet stuff” for 40 days and 40 nights during the Lenten period". These 100% homemade and 100% natural energy balls are great if you would like to remove refined sugar from your diet or just have less of it but still gain that 'sweet kick' in your day. The recipe below, Cacao and Chia, is one that is so easy to make for anyone to enjoy. To find out more visit: https://www.clairesamazeballs.com/
Protein FlapjackFlapjacks are a favourite for many. They're a great way to enjoy wholegrain oats and in this recipe, the oats are joined by protein-rich seeds to provide longer-lasting energy.
Good Moody SmoothieSmoothies are a quick and tasty way to get a variety of nutritious ingredients into us. Time is not always in abundance at certain points in the day and throwing some simple ingredients into a blender or your new smoothie maker can be the difference between having something nutritious rather than a snack bar or something even less nutritious. This smoothie is designed to boost your mood and designed with your happiness in mind!
