Falafel Salad
I am a great chickpea (AKA Garbanzos) fan, as most vegan’s and vegetarians are. From chickpea flour, to chickpea sprouts, these little gems are so versatile in the kitchen and are loaded with some mad nutritional goodness. This Falafel Salad is a great choice for a light summers lunch or dinner. You can have the falafel balls warm or cold, totally up to you. A quick and easy nutritious salad option.

Poached Egg on Toast
This is a super tasty breakfast option. I feel that, to step out of the routine of making cereals and porridge for breakfast, savory plates are such a treat. So I do, on the occasion, chomp an eggie or two. I really do enjoy the taste of eggs, and the effect they have in my body. When I eat them, my body is happy, and that’s what we all want, right?

Fudgy Date Balls
Healthy living can be really easy, if you learn to plan ahead. An important factor in a healthy clean diet is meal planning. You should be having 5-6 meals in a day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner (medium sized servings of each, dinner being the lightest), and healthy snacks in between. Why? In order to have balanced sugar levels, without any spikes and surges, low-GI healthy clean meals and healthy snacks help to keep your sugar and energy levels plateaued throughout the day.
