This super healthy soup is a great way to make the most of seasonal beetroots and embrace their many health affirming benefits. I like to use shiitake mushrooms with this blend, for their smokey flavour and fantastic immune support – although you can easily replace with whatever mushrooms you have available. The creamed coconut block [...]
The awesome thing about juice is that you can get a fast infusion of powerful nutrients quickly. Whole foods (along with all their fibre) are very beneficial for health, yet there are times when it can be really supportive to drink freshly juiced fruits and vegetables for an amazing health boost too. There is almost [...]
Here it is - my "Chickpea (garbonzo bean) & Mushroom Burger" recipe. This is an excellent way to enjoy a super healthy, high-protein, vegan, gluten-free meal, whilst using optimal plant-based ingredients...
Blackberry season is well underway here in the UK, with a bumper crop of deep purple fruits adorning the wild hedgerows. If we take the time to explore, we easily find that mother nature brings us the most amazing bounty of freely available superfoods – like blackberries – without the need of spending a small [...]
Even the healthiest amidst us take a hit with a depleted immune system every now and again. For me, I tend to work really hard and am not the best at learning when to take a break. No matter how well I eat, 'not knowing when to stop' sometimes takes a toll on my system. [...]
When most people think of creamy sauces, they usually imagine dairy milk, yogurt or cream as an essential ingredient for a lip-lickin', smooth buttery result. Seldom do people imagine... erm, cauliflower! So let's talk about this creamy vegan cauliflower sauce for a second. Having eaten a plant-based diet for the best part of 25 years, [...]
Until recently it just never occurred to me how delicious plums would be in a smoothie. I’ve been totally blessed with a small Victoria Plum tree, bearing the juiciest, sweetest fruits. After enjoying them straight off the tree in abundance, I’ve been trying all sorts of ways to embrace this bountiful harvest. As well as [...]
Plums! If you get a really super-ripe, juicy one, it can pretty majestic. When I moved into my house here in Avalon about 8 years ago, we had a massive plot full of rubble, grass and invasive non-native weeds. One of the first things I did (one of the first things I always do when moving somewhere new) was plant a good old, reliable, heavy cropping Victoria Plum tree. I don’t know how she does it, but she has been bearing a mighty harvest of plums ever since. As I write, it’s late August and she’s wildly overflowing with ripe plums. I am having such a great time with plum recipes and can’t contain myself any longer. So here goes…
Juicing can change your life. I know so many people who’ve experienced aggressive health conditions such as cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, cardio-vascular disease, chronic fatigue, depression etc. who have turned to juicing (along with a healthy plant-based diet), radically reclaiming their health! And there are loads of people like me, who really value health [...]
Kale is undoubtedly one amazing vegetable! Per gram it gives us over 16% more calcium than cow’s milk and over twice as much vitamin C than oranges. As well as hosting a power house full of vitamins and minerals, it also has a whole bunch of beneficial healing properties. Numerous studies suggest that kale is [...]
