Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Slice
Today has to be my favourite ‘National [insert food here’ Day’ – PEANUT BUTTER DAY. It’s my answer when someone asks what’s the food I can’t live without. 100% I consume it in some way or form every day, and I still can’t decide if I prefer crunchy or smooth to be honest! In celebration […]
Raspberry Loaf
Who doesn’t love a spot of baking? It’s fun, therapeutic and the best bit – eating the baked goods when they are ready! Whether you’re fully vegan or doing Veganuary for a challenge, baking may seem a bit daunting or uncertain if you’re not sure about what ingredients or alternatives to use compared to traditional […]

Raspberry Chocolate & Coconut Blondies
Mmmmmm BLONDIES. I’ve always seen them as a brownie’s less popular cousin, which is crazy as they are slightly less rich if you’re not in the chocolate mood, but still delicious and fudgey. With this recipe I think I’ve nailed a banging vegan mixture which is packed with juicy raspberries and Seed & Bean’s wonderfully […]
Salted Caramel, Peanut Butter & Chocolate Bites
January is all about green juices, detoxes and zero treats, right? WRONG. I’m all about balance, health and not succumbing to ridiculous trends or jumping on meaningless, damaging bandwagons of slimming teas, weight loss shakes or fat-burning tablets… Instead, treating healthy living as a long-term way of life, enjoying food and exercising for the body […]
