Chocolate Protein Cookies – Super Crunchy!
I was on the mission of creating a cookie with the perfect amount of crunch! I think, when it comes to cookies, you’re either a soft gooey or crunchy type. Me being the latter! So this Chocolate Protein Cookie recipe is one tried and tested and I’m just obsessed with it! So very crunchy and full of protein which is great for balancing blood sugars, and being a Type 1 Diabetic – this is super important to me.

Lemon Honey Chia Bliss Balls
I had a moment the other day, wondering how many bliss ball recipes there must be floating around the internet these days. Quite a few I’d like to think, but what’s one more to add to the mix? They’re great to have on hand for a quick snack and to keep those blood sugars and energy levels sustained.

Cherry Hemp Oat Bars and Gut Health – Part One
A nutrient dense packet of hemp protein powder was the inspiration behind this blog post and these Cherry Hemp Oat Bars. Whilst browsing the health/gluten free section, my eyes were instantly drawn to this ever-so-exciting-new-product that was staring back at me from the shelves. With hemp gaining more and more momentum, it’s was a ah-ha! moment for me as to how far we’ve come in a small amount of time, with sustainable products like this making their debut on regular supermarket shelves. The times are a changing! More so now than ever, and I’m excited to stay on board and move through with these exciting changes.

Apple and Raspberry Vegan Galette
It’s that time again for another recipe to share, and what better way to celebrate the beginning of Spring than with a vibrant Apple and Raspberry Vegan Galette. This recipe is so delicious and is the perfect option when entertaining or taking around to a friends place for morning tea. I decided to use spelt flour as it actually has so any health benefits, even if it does contain gluten. Now I do tend to stay away from gluten, but every now and then I’ll have it in the form of a home made recipe, or something that I know exactly what’s gone into it. Organic spelt flour used in this…

Bran Muffins with Carrots and Walnuts
This week on the blog I decided to do an update recipe of my Carrot Bran and Walnut Muffins. It’s such a delicious recipe that is so great for lunchboxes, breakfasts and afternoon treats. If you’re one who can tolerate bran, then I’m sure you’ll love this recipe. It’s sweetened with dates, coconut sugar and raisins and is full of fibre. I had such fun adjusting this recipe (only slightly) and taking the photographs was the main highlight. One Friday morning, I had this creative urge and headed to the hardware store to get some creative supplies. My mission was to paint some beautiful photography backdrops, and I had such…

Vegan Caramel Squares with Activated Buckinis
Living simplistically can be so rewarding. More and more of us are making the conscious effort to reduce waste, buy less, save more and ultimately live more simply. There’s so many little things we can do, that can really add up in a big way. Change in the minority, I believe, can have a massive ripple effect and if we all work hard together to spread the word, the benefits for our future generations and our planet will surely come into fruition. I was inspired this week, by simple living, and hence decided to make a simple recipe, with simple ingredients, that tasted simply wonderful. I succeeded, and this Vegan Caramel…

Savory Almond Carrot Biscuits
This week on the blog I chat about one of the most common root vegetable, yet rarely regarded as a nutrition powerhouse. If you haven’t guessed by now, it’s carrots. In this Savory Almond Carrot Biscuit recipe, I put a raw carrot powder to the test to see if I can create a savory biscuit, that leans towards savory, yet still has a slight natural sweetness. Vibrant, orange, ever so crunchy carrots. The magical vegetable that we all grew up understanding to have super “night-time-vision-enhancing” powers.

Fudgy Chocolate Chickpea Squares
I am so excited about this blog post and recipe! It’s really one that has inspired me and these Fudgy Chocolate Chickpea Squares are one of many recipe I aspire to make that are wholesomely balanced. What I mean by that is that they contain carbohydrates, plant protein and healthy fats. The inspiration for this recipe came from an awesome South African chick who I follow on Instagram – Max aka @sugarfreesundays. Through her blog Sugar Free Sundays, she shares her journey through life including all the sugar free/foodie goodness that goes along with it.
