Oatmeal Raisin Energy Balls

Oatmeal Raisin Energy Balls

These little snacks are easy to make and genuinely taste like Oatmeal raisin cookies! Perfect for a morning or afternoon snack with a cup of tea, or for a pre/post workout bite. I made these delicious little things for our bike rides to Brighton and Paris. Filled with...

Sugar Free Chocolate and Pear Cake

I made this cake for a family get-together at Easter to serve with my Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake that my cousin had made. Even more delicious when someone else makes it! When we served the pudding selection to our family, we didn't tell them they were healthier...

Breakfast/Brunch is hands down my favourite meal of the day, this year I've decided instead of a birthday dinner, I would prefer a birthday breakfast! I know a lot of people skip weekday breakfasts or grab a croissant on the way to work, but preparing healthy weekday...

Chocolate Quinoa Easter Nests

Chocolate Quinoa Easter Nests

These little beauties are delicious, and although they aren't exactly 'healthy' they are certainly a healthier version of the classic chocolate crispy Easter nest. Swapping the usual butter and golden syrup for coconut oil and maple syrup, and using quinoa instead of...
