It is officially flu season! Whenever this happens I try to boost my immune system because prevention is always better than cure. One way is by taking my lemon, ginger and garlic water daily or even twice a day. The other is this great anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting shot! I love that this is natural and works like […]
It’s becoming evident that I find any excuse to have avocado at any point of my day. This was intended to be just for breakfast but i’ve cheekily turned it into a snack as well. Using avocado as a spread on toast is so simple and delicious. Plus, It’s filling and takes just two minutes to […]
There are cookies and there are THESE COOKIES! Naturally sweetened with bananas and dates, moist and you have the great option of being creative by adding in your own choice of fruits, nuts or seeds.

Banana bread is magic! Simple as that and even simpler to make. How amazing it that you can make such a delicious loaf with incredibly healthy ingredients. I’ve loved having it for breakfast or as a snack. I have it on its own or with a spread of fruit preserve or homemade chocolate spread. The […]
I love a muffin for breakfast, a muffin for snacking and a muffin just because it’s a muffin! These delicious muffins are so hard to resist and are perfect to share with family and friends. The bananas make them wonderfully sweet and their combination with the protein-packed almonds is a dream. My muffin love is sorted!
I love having oat porridge in the morning; it’s so warming and nourishing. I genuinely go to bed dreaming of breakfast the next morning! Imagine how much better it is when baked banana, homemade chocolate spread (‘Nutella’), pumpkin seeds and coconut are added to it! Pure bliss! That’s one of the things I love so […]
Almond milk has become one of my favourite substitutes of regular milk with my oat porridge or granola for breakfast, when baking and even in smoothies. It’s delicious, creamy and its taste is subtle enough to accompany so many drinks and dishes. I used to use store-bought almond milk but ever since I discovered how simple […]
Hummus is a classic Middle-Eastern dish and it’s easy to understand why it’s now enjoyed all over the world. I used to buy hummus from the store but I haven’t found any lately so I’ve been working on my own recipe and now I’m having it all the time. love using hummus as a dip […]
My brothers and I would eat so much Nutella when we growing up that my mum refused to ever buy it again! One large jar would hardly make it through a week. Now that I’ve discovered a healthier spread I may be heading down that road again! This chocolate spread tastes so amazing. It’s so […]
It is my honest belief that everyone loves plantain!!! I can’t get over its incredible taste and how easy it is to prepare.

My kind of pancake, easy, quick and delicious! I love having oats for breakfast and this was a perfect way to enjoy them. I could sing about the amazing benefits of oats all day!

I like snacking on fruits during the day and evening and so enjoying them as this deliciously creamy smoothie is great! The combination of strawberries and bananas is simply magical.

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.
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!
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 […]
