Hazelnuts. Plant-based milk. Yes please! The benefit of making your own vegan milk at home is that you get to decide exactly what goes in it. You can make sure that there are no unnecessary additives in it or refined sugars (as you so often find in pre-made packaged plant milk). Making your own saves [...]
Breakfast this morning! I fancied something fruity and vibrant to start the day and decided to make a classic 'blueberry hempster smoothie'. It's simple and involves ripe banana, blueberries, shelled hemp seeds (also known as hemp seed hearts) and homemade vanilla cashew milk (although any plant-based milk will work fine). One of the important keys [...]
I was at a friends house recently where she treated me to the most divine hot chocolate, made with homemade cashew date milk. Oh my word! Heavenly. I believe that she'd intended to make it with almonds, although since she hadn't had time to soak them in advance, she opted for cashews instead. It reminded [...]
I remember the first time I drove past a pineapple field. I was in Maui with my boyfriend at the time (we are talking 15 years ago now) and I was like 'OMG I thought pineapples grew on trees'. He said, well you'd be surprised, most he's met actually people do. Hahaha! There is a longing [...]

Personally, I find it much easier to be there for other people, to love others, than to love myself. I imagine it is the same [...]
Yesterday I was super busy preparing everything before some long haul travel. I am going to be a way for a while, so that involved emptying my fridge of all the stuff that I know won't get eaten whist I am away. When I looked in my fridge I found a massive head of celery [...]
I've got excellent news. Cacao is actually GOOD for you and it's here to stay! Cacao is chock-full (and I mean CHOCK-FULL) of antioxidants. Antioxidants are compounds that protect the cells of the human body to prevent premature aging and disease. Cacao is particularly rich in polyphenols, known for their beneficial influence on cardiovascular health. In [...]
I must confess... maca has been one of those foods that have made a big difference in my life. I swear by the stuff! I am super sensitive to the hormonal shifts in my body, feeling every nuance of these ebbs and flows. I also pop into 'fight or flight' mode easily - it's just [...]
Hemp Milk is quite possibly the healthiest plant-based milk out there! So, it definitely it deserves a bit of love here in the Kind Earth Kitchen. I am not into over complicating stuff, so my way of making hemp milk is pretty easy. In fact, you can make it in a couple of delicious, minutes [...]
Energetically speaking, when it comes to chai (tea), there's nothing quite like making your own! I am not JUST making a cup of chai. To me it is a spiritual adventure. As I am sure you know, spirituality is in everything. It's in the way I feel connected with each spice; feeling the energy inspire [...]
