Creamy coconut “bejewelled” oats

by Siobhan | Jan 9, 2017 | Breakfast, snack, vegan

The beautiful colour from the pomegranate seeds makes this meal look so pretty, it also gives it a natural sweetness which pairs really well with the creaminess of the coconut butter which is thicker and creamier than coconut oil (as it contains some coconut flesh & therefore fibre, whereas coconut oil is just the fat), so I recommend this but the oil will do fine too if you only have that.

2/5 day healthier mint choc chip icecream/nicecream

How is it so creamily guilt free I hear you ask? Well, it comes from frozen, blended banana & some fresh avocado. Now that may sound weird at first but trust me on this one, it works like a charm and you’re getting some great fibre, good fats & potassium in there too which are great for the heart.
Plus the addition of pure cacao powder and cacao nibs means a chocolate flavour without any added sugar, meaning a truly guilt free treat, woohoo! (more…)

Protein peaches & nicecream bowl

by Siobhan | Nov 29, 2016 | Breakfast, Grainfree, Lunch, snack, vegan

I love the creaminess of this recipe but it was made even better when I decided to add a bit of protein into the dish, I chose a mix of tahini (ground sesame seeds), nut butter and protein powder which provides protein but also good fat in there too!

Homemade white choc orange almond butter bites

by Siobhan | Nov 22, 2016 | Desserts, Grainfree, snack, vegan

This mix was so delicious, that I’m going to un-ashamedly admit that once I had used all of the mix up I licked the pot clean, there wasn’t a speck of the mixture left on it!

You really don’t need much sweetener either as the orange zest and almond butter give so much flavour, which makes these beauties fantastically tasty without containing loads of sugar, woohoo!

I got a new blender recently which is an absolute beast, I’m loving it and used it to make my own organic almond butter which I used in this recipe. I can’t wait to experiment with other nut butter combos/flavours and will share any good ones on here once created. 😁

Spicy Peanut Butter Hummus

by Siobhan | Nov 7, 2016 | Grainfree, Lunch, snack, vegan

I loved making this recipe as I’m always using chickpeas in various ways especially consuming it in a garlic hummus so I wanted to mix it up a bit hence this recipe with a difference! Haricot beans are the type used in the famous branded baked beans but you can get them plain and use them as you would chickpeas in a normal recipe.
Other beans should work too such as barlotti/canellini etc, beans are fantastic foods to add into your daily meals, they’re such good sources of protein, fibre, magnesium and folate (B vitamin).

Mini spiced pumpkin pecan pies (no bake)

by Siobhan | Oct 25, 2016 | Desserts, Grainfree, snack, vegan

The base on these mini pies is delicious! It’s a mix of dried fruit, nuts, seeds and pumpkin spice, very flavourful without being too rich.

The pumpkin I used for this turned out to have paler flesh than others so mine isn’t overly orange meaning they didn’t look too pretty but they taste pretty fricking good! Plus it’s a great way to use up extra pumpkin flesh once you’re done with your carving.
