It’s all about the berries this morning! I’m currently battling the sugar cravings again, and it’s a real struggle. We need to listen to our bodies, but also be able to recognise when our bodies are taking through an addiction, and make wise choices instead. Banana, strawberries, blueberries and coconut milk. Lots of goodness in … Continue reading
I found this funky looking fruit in the shops this week. I had no idea what it was, so I bought it. The label said it was a Yellow Pitaya. This is the inside, and as you can see it looks a lot like a dragon fruit. … Continue reading
For this smoothie I was just using up some things from the fridge so it is a bit of a strange mix. Banana, strawberry, raspberry, carrot and lemon! I added a bit much water so it was more like a juice than a smoothie in consistency, but it was still nice.
Sometimes a salad just isn’t going to cut it. For those days when you want something a bit more filling and comforting, an omelette is a quick and easy fix. Add a load of veg and you have a hearty, healthy lunch. For my omelette I fried off some … Continue reading
I have not found a nice gluten free granola anywhere. It really is very easy to make, although pricey when using just nuts and seeds. If you are OK with oats then you could always bulk it out with some oats. The ingredients listed below are just an example of quantities … Continue reading
Another smoothie bowl. I absolutely love the colour of this one. These really do take as long to make and photograph as they do to eat, but it’s good fun. This smoothie was banana, strawberry, raspberry, celery and cucumber. On top there are chia seeds, freeze dried apple, blueberries and a few baby salad leaves … Continue reading
So, smoothie bowls are a thing, a very beautiful and creative thing, and I just had to join in with the fun! A smoothie bowl is quite simply, a smoothie in a bowl. The bonus is that you have a large surface area on which to sprinkle and arrange a whole host of delicious goodies. … Continue reading
I usually have a fruit based breakfast once or twice a week. This morning was banana, Greek yogurt, blueberries and passion fruit. The passion fruit was something new for me, and very enjoyable. Passion fruit eaten with the seeds and pulp intact, (rather than straining for … Continue reading
The sun is shining this morning! Blue skies and everything. It’s amazing how the weather can affect our mood. It makes me want to jump out of bed and get going in the morning when the sun is streaming through the window. On dull and dreary mornings I could quite happily stay in bed (if … Continue reading
There is nothing better than a plate of fresh, warm pancakes. I have finally found a recipe for healthy, gluten free pancakes that works, and it really couldn’t be easier! Just use one banana and one egg per person (unless you are very hungry!) Mash the banana and … Continue reading
I really enjoy making and drinking juices, but not cleaning the juicer afterwards! Here is apple, cucumber, baby spinach and lime juice. So nice, and there must be some good stuff in there right?! Another of my favourite juices at the minute is mango, basil and lime. I actually blend this one rather than juice. … Continue reading
This is what breakfast should look like! Fresh carrot, mango and lime juice with bacon, avocado, baby spinach, tomato and pepper. This is so much nicer than cereal or toast, I wish I had found Paleo sooner! I have never been a fan of “normal” breakfast foods. Juicing takes a small amount of effort in … Continue reading
So I have been thinking about food a lot lately. This isn’t particularly unusual, as I love food, but I would really like to know that what I am feeding my family is actually good food. What do our bodies need? I have been doing a lot of reading up on different diets, and I … Continue reading
