If you fancy a healthy, creamy smoothie then it must be said… cashew nuts work wonders. They are excellent for those on a plant based diet or those looking for healthier options; creaming up really well, satisfying the desire for something rich and delicious.

Blueberry Hempster Superfood Smoothie with Homemade Cashew Milk

Breakfast this morning! I fancied something fruity and vibrant to start the day and decided to make a classic 'blueberry hempster smoothie'.

Raspberry & Apple Vanilla Breakfast Compote – with a hint of coconut sugar & ginger

Compote is actually really a dessert from medieval Europe. But times change and I adore making compote (which in this case is essentially, gently, stewed fruit, with a little je ne sais quois) for breakfast. I first started making this after I moved to Somerset in the South West of England, at which point every [...]
