Blueberries and lemon are a match made in heaven. They dance and twirl on the taste buds creating an exquisite medley of flavours. In this blueberry fudge recipe, I've added them to one of my all-time trusted and favourite ingredients: 'creamed coconut', to create a decadent, soft fudge. It's very rich, yet you needn't feel [...]
When I first made these truffles I thought I was going to melt with delight. Perhaps it was a reflection of the multi sensory experience when I took my first bite; soft, sweet, rich, melt in the mouth chocolate covered sensual deliciousness. Difficult to imagine so much from such an easy recipe with only 5 ingredients. Yet, using good quality organic ingredients (including raw homemade chocolate), makes the essence of these truffles quite divine.
Traditionally halva is an simple sweet treat often made with tahini or other nut butters and something sweet (like sugar or honey). When I first started eating a totally plant based diet I stumbled across a halva made with sesame seeds and grape juice. It sounds insanely simple, but it just works.
What an incredible way to start the day! This is a blend designed to really set you up for the day, with a sustained boost of energy and its high protein, nutritious and adaptogenic qualities. It's an easy, fast way to support yourself nutritionally, if you have a busy or stressful schedule, because it is just loaded with supportive stuff.
This isn't just any old high protein treat, it's a superfood extravaganza - high in essential fats and antioxidants. In fact, these raw power protein balls are so super healthy, I have to pinch myself when that decadent flavour hits my palate! I am a big fan of foods that not only infuse my body [...]
I adore finding new and healthful ways to incorporate beetroot into my weekly diet. Beetroot is often over-looked as an 'I-don't-know-what-to-do-with-it' type food. Well worthy of our attention, it is ridiculously healthy - right up there with the healthiest of foods.
I've been making 'stir-steamed' veggie dishes for quite some time now. It's our super easy, healthy, 'fast food' go to meal. If I serve this with gluten free noodles, then I can literally have it on the table ready to eat within 10 minutes of deciding to make it. It's that quick! It's a bit of a take on the traditional chinese stir-fry, except the only thing that is fried is one quick minute of garlic. The vegetables are essentially steamed in a very small amount of water, right there in the pan.
Macadamia nut & cocoa are a marriage made in chocolate heaven. Add in fruit (in this case – raisins), coconut sugar (a much healthier alternative to refined sugar) and vanilla and you’ll quickly find a divine medley of exciting textures, flavours and melt in the mouth deliciousness...
This afternoon I really felt like something chocolatey. I was about to go on a hike and wanted something that would give me an energy boost and keep me satiated, without making me feel heavy. This recipe is ridiculously easy to make and very quick to whip up. Perfect for times when you really can’t be fussed about spending much time baking or cooking. From the moment you decide that you want it, you can literally be tasting this delicious pudding within two minutes.
Seeds are highly nutritious and supportive of our health, so I like to include them in my diet on a daily basis. 'Tamari Toasted Seeds' involves either baking or grilling (known as broiling in North America) with a splash of tamari. Cooking in this way brings out a delicious depth of flavour, making them very [...]
