Seaweed crisps with a healthier maryrose sauce

Move over kale there’s a new crisp in town…..seaweed! Trust me, it doesn’t taste like fish and you can flavour them with whatever you like, plus they cook superfast and contain lots of nutrition such as iodine (update: and B12), which can be hard for some people to get.

The sauce uses tomato puree & spices instead of the standard ketchup, so it remains super tasty but also that little bit better for you. Put this sauce on anything you like, I chose to try it with my new black bean noodles, salmon and peas, you could use any pasta & veg you like or simply keep it for the seaweed crisps.

Moringa avocado pesto pasta

This is an epically nutritious pasta dish (yes they can exist!) and is made even more so by the addition of the moringa powder (very high in Vit K, so do not use if on blood thinners/pregnant) which you can’t even taste due to the combination of the other ingredients. The avocado in this recipe gives a lovely creaminess which is something most of us associate with an indulgent pasta, so you feel like you’re being naughty but are actually being nourished!

Healthy mac n cheese!

The use of the nutritional yeast (provides cheese flavour), beans, lemon, garlic and cashews makes this recipe a much more nutritional version of the classic but is still something you can get your teeth into, plus it’s vegan too!
Another bonus is that it can be made in under 20mins for a super quick meal.

Chilli lemon green quinoa bowl with hummus

I had this one for breakfast as I had some hummus to use up which makes a difference to my usual porridge breaky but it’s great for any time of the day.
The lemon, chilli and garlic hummus really gives flavour to this dish as the quinoa and green veg are quite plain.
This dish is also super easy to pull together meaning you’re not in the kitchen for ages but still get plenty of goodness into you, win!

Creamy dreamy spiced sweet potato soup

Creamy dreamy spiced sweet potato soup Dinner Grainfree vegan

This recipe is great for the skin as the sweet potato is loaded with beta carotene which is the precursor of Vitamin A which is a strong antioxidant & fat soluble vitamin therefore you need fat in the meal to absorb it hence the benefits of the coconut milk combo.
