My favourite green kale smoothie is happening in the Kind Earth Kitchen this week and I am thrilled to share my latest medley of super healthy deliciousness! Nothing like a superfood smoothie to get me excited. Currently nomadic, this month am finding myself staying in an absolutely gorgeous yurt overlooking the vast, green forests of [...]
In today's recipe, we are going to make a maca chai latte. Chai is the Hindi name for tea, which apparently, was derived from the Chinese name 'cha'. It actually contains a blend of different spices, varying vastly through different regions and cultures. Chai is often brewed with milk and a sweetener. In more modern [...]
I must warn you, once you start to make your own plant-based milk it really is hard to go back to the carton stuff. It's so much more vibrant and alive, you can feel the difference. Homemade nut milk contains very simple ingredients and the process is remarkably fast, taking only a few minutes to [...]
This morning I was having a wonderful trip down memory lane - a fond remembering of the first time I ever made a cup of vegan hot chocolate. Oh my goodness, it was like heaven in a mug! I was somewhere in the jungle with a good vegan friend, some 16 years ago. He had [...]
Sometimes you just need a hot milky drink. This one is designed as a way to enjoy a drink WHILST getting a fabulous infusion of superfood 'spice' benefits. I am using homemade almond milk, but do use whatever plant-milk you have available. Different kinds of milk will yield slightly different results, so experiment and see what [...]
I've been asked a few times if I can share some matcha recipes, and I am delighted to! The best place to start is by sharing my homemade milky matcha along with a lil' bit of matcha information (I mean 'what on earth is matcha' for anyway and what is it good for?). I am [...]
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. They are also packed with vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, protein and loads of health-promoting phyto-chemicals that help protect us from diseases and cancers.
One of the most powerful things I have found to boost my immune system when it is running low, is to drink fresh immune-boosting juice. Juicing is powerful! There are few things in life that give you such a rapid infusion of nutrients. I often hear people telling me that they'd love to get into [...]
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 [...]
