We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day – even more so if we’re trying to be that little bit more health conscious in January. There are no excuses to skip it, especially if people think they don’t have time, which is where this recipe comes to the rescue. Developed […]

Is Your Body & Mind Ready For Winter?
Although winter time means plenty of celebrations and festivities, with Christmas and New Year all in the calendar, it can also be harder to stay motivated and inspired when it comes to healthy eating and fitness. During summer when we have longer days and nicer weather, many of us find it so much easier to […]
No Bake Spiced Apple Crumble & Peanut Butter Tart
Can you believe we’re nearly into the last month of 2018?! Guys, where has this year gone?! Crazy. But we’re now in full swing of autumn and verging on the brink of winter… So, spiced everything, everywhere, right? In keeping with this theme – it would be rude not to, let’s be honest – this […]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Donuts
Big thanks to Meridian Foods for recently sending me their new Rich Roast peanut butter jars in smooth and crunchy: made using only blanched hi-oleic peanuts sourced from Argentina which have been roasted for longer to deliver a richer and more intense flavour than traditional peanut butters. And let me tell you, the peanut buttery-ness […]
How Tom Loves To Eat Pic’s Peanut Butter
I first introduced Thomas to peanut butter when I started weaning him at 6 months old. Don’t worry, I checked beforehand that this was ok – according to the NHS website, ‘As long as there’s no history of food allergies or other allergies in your family, you can give your baby peanuts once they’re 6 […]
Chocolate Protein Breakfast Muffins
When time is short, you want something nutritious and high in protein (and also tasty!) in the morning, it’s easy to grab something unhealthy or full of sugar. So why not make your own super easy, energy and protein packed treats that taste like having a dessert for breakfast? Simply throw the muffin ingredients into […]
Wellness Boosting Smoothie Bowl
Can you believe that summer is nearly over? Gone is the heatwave we enjoyed for three months and instead we’re thinking about going back to school/work, digging the boats and coats out and welcoming autumn with pumpkin lattes at the ready. I don’t know about you but the change in weather and seasons really affects […]
Pres: Bringing Goodness To Prestwich
I still can’t remember how I first came across Pres, but when we discovered our dream house in Prestwich back in November it popped up on my radar and I was so excited that our new living location had a cafe/bar offering healthy, earth-friendly smoothies and dishes. Having lived in Manchester city centre for 4 […]
Dark Chocolate & Rose Festival Slice
With summer being festival season, it would only be right to create a new recipe for British chocolate brand Montezuma’s using one of their awesome festival themed bars for August. Not only that, but these guys are celebrating their 18th birthday milestone which is an incredible achievement for a brand! So with a colourful theme […]
Peach, Blueberry & Almond Cake
Nature’s Finest Foods kindly sent me a selection of their fruit pots which are ideal if you’re on the go, want to add cooked fruit to recipes, or give to little ones to nibble on – Thomas loves the peach slices especially as they are soft on his teeth. I’ve been a fan of these […]

The world’s first combination of bio-live Kefir and high-protein Quark, Bio-tiful Kefir-Quark combines two of the best and most nutritious dairy products, resulting in an abundant list of health benefits and a thick, creamy […]
Oppo Chia Pudding Smoothie Bowls 2 Ways
So the heatwave in the UK is STILL going strong (isn’t this what this season should be like anyway?) which means for many of us, we’re craving chilled or frozen foods to help keep us cool. Plus the thought of cooking or baking just goes straight out the window when it’s already like 30 degrees […]
Chocolate Strawberry Tartlets
Another month, another recipe for the fabulous British chocolate company, Montezuma’s! This time using their super moreish, vegan-friendly 58% Cocoa Dark Chocolate Giant Buttons, I thought I’d create something summery using one of my favourite fruits (and a perfect match with chocolate): STRAWBERRIES! These no-bake tartlets are really straight-forward to prepare and can be made […]
How To Be Happy & Healthy This Summer
I actually cannot believe how lucky we have been with the weather this summer in the UK; weeks of sunshine, blue skies and scorching temperatures. In fact, I’ve been pretty much living outside either in the garden or being outdoors and making the most of it! Alongside taking advantage of lots of vitamin D, I’ve […]
Berry & Granola Lollies
We’ve been so lucky here in the UK this summer, with endless days of sunshine, blue skies and high temperatures. It’s times like this when we crave things to help cool us down – cold showers, ice cold drinks, a bit of shade and of course, ICE LOLLIES AND ICE CREAM! There’s something so satisfying […]
