This is one of my favourite recipes and smells amazing when it’s cooking which makes a difference from the usual stuff I cook!
This granola is also far healthier than the store bought ones which I often find are loaded with refined wheat and sugar.

Ok, so this is a strange one but chilli and chocolate pair so well together in my opinion so I thought I’d try out this porridge this morning and it was delicious! The addition of the coconut oil is highly recommended as it makes it creamy and cools some of the heat.

We all want to be healthier or fitter than we were previously and to achieve this we try to follow what we’re told to do by the media/tv shows/magazines, however, this often leads to a variety of conflicting advice which then leaves people feeling confused & frustrated with trying to be healthy and therefore they simply stop.
There is no doubt that this is annoying, however as I’ve matured and taken more of an interest in studying health and wellness, I’ve learnt how to deal with this issue better than I would have previously, so on the off chance it may benefit others I thought I’d share my personal experience.

Plus, because you did most of the work the night before you can just grab and go!

When the holidays are over and the feasts have been had, many people will enter the new year with the intention to “detox” from all the festive food and drink, this can sometimes be dangerous and often misleading information out there makes matters worse.
As a young woman I often see other girls doing such things as this and it really scares me that this is what is believed to be “healthy” and “pretty”.
Many of these myths have been debunked already by a variety of professionals yet I still come across people who have not heard this information, so I will do my best to summarise a few of them here however, I do encourage everyone to also do your own research as it will empower you to make more informed choices in the future.
