Breakfast is usually my best meal of the day. I have to admit that there are times I’ve gone to bed fantasizing about what i’ll have for breakfast the following day. So you can only imagine my excitement about this mix which honestly felt like I was having dessert for breakfast! This beauty is so […]
As you all know already, I love sweet potatoes and if I could I would add them to any dish! So imagine how I excited I was when I tried this amazing recipe.
Sometimes I just need a pick-me up at the start of my day or in the middle of a busy day to give me an instant energy boost. This juice does that!!! It’s hydrating, refreshing, is filled with so many essential vitamins and therefore great as a detox juice as well.
I have kick-started almost every day this past year with a glass of warm water, lemon and ginger and/or garlic and it has made an amazing difference for me.
Ditch your trolley – there are some spectacular organic farmers markets coming up around Nairobi where you can get your fresh, local produce for a farm-fresh meal.
I made this sweet potato pie over the Thanksgiving weekend and my, oh my, there is really such a thing as healthy and delicious desserts!
I am met by a familiar smile as I walk towards Dr Bertha Kaimenyi. It’s 4:00pm and therefore what would be nearly the end of a long day for many. Yet, she is radiant, bright-eyed and full of energy! Her reputation precedes her and there is no doubt that she is a phenomenal woman in […]
Walking up concrete steps, a white sign above my head reads ‘Tin Roof Cafe’ in bold black paint. As my parents and I made our way into this hidden gem, I began to understand why so many people have descended upon this uniquely set restaurant lately.
Cake! Cake! Cake! Chocolate cake to be exact! I’ve always loved eating cake as well as baking cakes. When I began to live a healthier lifestyle, I knew that I had to definitely cut down on this due to the ingredients in it. A misconception that I had was that I wouldn’t get to enjoy […]
I love snacking. At one point I would always have a bag of dates or apricots in my bag wherever I went! I mean everywhere! I actually haven’t done this is in a while as I’ve been packing fresh fruit in my bag instead but this post is giving me ideas… Snacking in between meals […]
I’m very passionate about living a healthier lifestyle and at first it was mainly based on what I eat and my physical activity. However, I believe a healthier and happier lifestyle is definitely based on more than meals and fitness. With time I’ve also become aware of how important it is to be careful about […]
I got very interested in soups as I researched for ideas for lighter healthy meals, especially for dinner which I believe should be the lightest meal of the day. I’ve now come across so many amazing soups over time that it’s got more and more difficult to pick my favourite. This butternut and carrot soup is definitely […]
I don’t often throw all my ingredients into a pot when preparing a meal and I know that many people find this very odd. That’s exactly what I did with this meal and I was amazed by how perfect it turned out! Plus, who doesn’t love the idea of having only one pot to clean […]
Do you ever wake up in the morning and want to have ice cream for breakfast? This smoothie bowl is the perfect option if you ever want to have a healthy meal and also satisfy your sweet tooth in the morning.
I’m very keen about what I put into my body. However, we should also be careful about what comes into contact with our skin regularly, especially on a daily basis. In fact, some research claims that putting chemicals on our skin may be more dangerous than eating them because they are absorbed directly into our blood […]
Water is the fuel our bodies need. I’ve come to realise how important drinking enough water daily is for my health and wellness. It directly affects how well our bodies perform not only physically but also mentally because the two are correlated.
Eating healthy and keeping fit has become so ingrained in me that I often forget the process I went through to get here. I often get questions laced with surprise and uncertainty from friends and strangers alike who have a desire to maintain a healthier lifestyle but find the process so daunting especially when i […]
I have oatmeal for breakfast almost every day but it’s never boring! Topping it with mangoes today made me miss picking the sweetest mangos straight from my grandfather’s farm in Meru, Kenya with my brothers and eating them one after another for hours!!
A gluten and dairy free diet means having to avoid most pasta dishes but imagine the joy of finding a much healthier option that tastes just as delicious! I’m in love with these zucchini noodles especially when I want a quick meal!
I hadn’t included tofu in my meals in a long while and forgot how versatile and easy to prepare it is! I had this butternut squash and tofu curry for lunch with brocolli and brown rice and it was heavenly! Perfect for this rainy weather ?
