Energising Dad-To-Be Superfood Smoothie Bowl
When it comes to supplements, I’ve been religiously taking daily pregnancy-specific vitamins and minerals to make sure I’m getting enough of everything I need for my growing Baby.

Mocha Caramel Chia Pudding Delight
This month I thought I’d celebrate the warmer weather, sunnier and lighter days with this special Percol Coffee creation.

Cooking Up Wyldsson’s Buckwheat Pancakes
I don’t make pancakes that often but when I do, I like them to be worthwhile. In the run-up to Pancake Day I must have gone through about 10 different batches (following all different recipes) which turned out to be a total disaster… Although the day before I bought a new non-stick pan and the […]

Porridge Season with Quaker Oats
I don’t know about you but I crave a big warming bowl of porridge when the weather is cold and the mornings are dark. Oats, almond milk, cinnamon, a splash of vanilla extract and topped with berries and nut butter and/or seeds is one of my favourite combinations, but part of the fun is going […]

All of these brands […]
Blueberry, Apple & Banana Snact Energy Bars

That’s produce that would otherwise be thrown away for being too big, too small, too ugly, or simply too abundant. ‘Tonnes of perfectly good fruit and vegetables get rejected before reaching shop shelves in the UK. We turn that surplus into healthy snacks that contribute to one of your […]
