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 […]

No-Bake Spiced Pumpkin & Coconut Pie
Did you know that November is World Vegan Month? For those of you who don’t know, I’m not actually vegan or veggie myself BUT I eat 90% plant-based out of choice: I live off wholegrains, fruit and vegetables, veggie protein sources like Quorn, tofu, pulses, lentils and nuts, with some dairy products and occasionally eat […]
