Smoothies are hands down one of my favourite things to make. Apart from the obvious fact that they can be ridiculously delicious, here’s why I love them to the moon and back:…
These heavenly raw vegan cheesecakes really need to be tasted to be believed. Creamy, smooth, rich and delicious- this vanilla bean “cheesecake” is so good, you could almost get away with not telling anyone it’s egg and dairy free. Cashews are the star raw vegan cheesecake ingredient here, and if you’ve never used them before in this way, prepare to have your mind blown….
What’s green, delicious and full of vitamins? Our matcha and spirulina tropical smoothie bowl! If you’re bored with those same old green smoothie recipes and want to try something a little different and super tasty, this one’s for you, kid.
In truth, this smoothie combination came about when I had a craving for something green, but had just run out of the usual suspects: spinach, kale, celery, cucumbers, etc. I did have some frozen lychees and mangos on hand, though, and a boat load of superfood supplements at my disposal. And so this gloriously delicious smoothie bowl was born: slightly earthy thanks to the spirulina and matcha powder, suitably punchy thanks to the mango, banana and lychee combination, and just sweet enough thanks to a lovely dried fig. What’s lovely about this recipe is that none of the flavours are particularly overpowering – they all work together in perfect synergy and the frozen fruit give the blend a perfectly thick and creamy texture….
Isn’t it a wonderful thing when you discover something so amazing it changes your life forever? Like an amazing new brunch spot, or an incredible new face cream?
Part of you probably doesn’t want to disclose this information to the public, scared that the restaurant might become so busy that getting a table will now become a challenge, or that the beauty product might sell out so quickly, you’ll be left without your new discovery. I’m not going to lie, for a moment I second-guessed sharing this recipe, but after rationalizing the outcomes, realized that I was in safe territory and that the supply of the few ingredients needed for this recipe were not likely to disappear. So without further ado, allow me to kindly introduce you to “The New Cheesecake”.
This recipe consists of only a handful of ingredients, most of which you might have in your pantry. Easy, healthy and no baking required.
A vegan lifestyle is quickly becoming to hippest trend here in southern California, and eating “raw” would be considered the hottest accessory to this lifestyle. Turning cashews into cream might seem like a strange concept, but once you have tried this recipe, your kitchen confidence will skyrocket and you’ll be attempting all sorts of magical tricks (nuts into cheese?).
The best part about this recipe it is versatility. I have tried so many variations. Raspberry, lemon, chocolate…endless really. If it blends, it might just work!
Is this raw vegan peanut butter cheesecake healthy? It sure it! Now, let me clarify – being that it is basically all nuts, it will carry a pretty high caloric number, BUT, if you consider the ingredient list, what you are swapping it out for (high refined sugars and animal fat!) then yes, it is by far the healthier choice. Also, being raw means that the vitamins, enzymes and minerals of the ingredients are not broken down in the cooking process, and therefore completely available to your health-inspired goals.
So dig in my friends and enjoy!
Melbourne’s erratic weather brings about some chilly and wet days, even in the summer. I came about this recipe during one of those unwelcome summer days. Thanks to the unexpected wet weather, I was yearning for a light, yet warm and comforting breakfast to prepare for the colder week ahead. This warm coconut chia pudding certainly ticked all those boxes!
By now, most of us have tried the wonderful chia pudding. What’s not to like about this lovely treat? Aside from having many winning flavour combinations, it is high in anti-inflammatory omega-3, protein and fibre. Chia pudding is also very versatile, and can be consumed for breakfast, snack or dessert. However, most recipes call for chia pudding to be eaten chilled, out of the fridge. Given this, chia pudding would not be the most ideal treat during the colder days… so here’s a twist on the classic chia pudding….
When you can combine chocolate, superfoods and granola – it’s safe to say a party in your mouth ensues. This is one of my favourite go-to snack (and breakfast) for when I’m feeling that chocolate craving. It’s packed full of healthy, energy and protein-rich ingredients, but has just the right about of sweetness to make it feel like an extra-special treat. And it features one of my favourite nuts (when I’m in the mood for playing favourites, because lets face it, all nuts are pretty damn awesome)- PECANS….
The health world is currently green with envy over matcha powder. Shots of the drink were the “it beverage” at New York Fashion Week, and now even dedicated coffee lovers are ditching their morning cup in favour of this earthy tea. Green tea leaves are ground to a powder, meaning you ingest the tea leaves – giving you 137 x more antioxidants than traditional green tea. It’s also know as a mental booster and helps improve stamina. Sounds awesome right? It’s even better in ice-cream. Just saying’…….
I don’t think I will ever grow out of the childish excitement for Christmas. There is just something magical about this time of the year, when the Scandinavian winter takes hold, and we curl up inside around the fireplace, put up Christmas decorations everywhere, cover our bushes in fairy lights, and enjoy the company of our family. Simply amazing….
One of the first things I discovered when I jumped into the big food blog world and healthy eating life style years ago was the fact that bliss balls are everywhere. E-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. I had never heard of those little balls of amazing-ness before but at the first bite I was hooked. Healthy treats that tasted much, much better than candy and were packed with good for you stuff! I have loved bliss balls ever since….
