Green Smoothie Recipe – Nutribullet
I am loving my Nutribullet at the moment. In all honesty, when I first got it I struggled with it. I really liked the clean crispness of my juicer and just couldn’t come round to the, well, thickness of the smoothies that the Nutribullet produced. Mr NS Nutrition was not convinced – ‘this is er,… Read more »
Gluten free pasta: Edamame and Mung Bean ‘pasta’ from Explore Asia
I have just recently discovered Explore Asian’s new range of gluten free pasta and I must say I’m impressed. Sometimes nothing beats a giant bowel of steaming pasta, and this really helps to fill the spot without the guilt. Made from black beans, edamame, mung beans (or both!) and soybeans, these ‘noodles’ are high in protein… Read more »
Sweet Potato, Caramelised Onion, Spinach & Feta Cheese Fritatta
Phew. That’s a mouthful! But this sweet potato, caramelised onion, spinach and feta fritatta is worth the tongue twister. This dish came together because a) it’s my favourite item on a brunch menu (well that and poached eggs with avocado) and b) I had about a million eggs in the fridge that needed to be… Read more »
Quinoa granola – gluten and dairy free
Breakfast is genuinely my favourite meal of the day. Eggs, porridge, smoothies, pancakes… the options are endless. Granola is scrumptious (I’m a big fan of all the crunchy deliciousness), but the store bought versions are full of sugar – no good. I never eat it apart from on holiday where I’m a little more relaxed… Read more »

This dish has so many of my favourite things – I love all the different tastes and textures so it’s a real staple in my house. Serves 6 Ingredients: 2 large… Read more »
Banana oat cookies (3 ingredients)
This isn’t even technically a recipe, as you basically mix a few ingredients together – that’s my kind of baking! These are heavenly, and a great way to use up old, dying bananas, plus they only need 3 ingredients (plus optional extras). Try them and marvel at the ease. It is more banana bread-y then… Read more »
Ottolenghi’s roasted aubergine with saffron yoghurt
I love his recipes, and he always comes up with the best and most innovative salads which are always so colourful and appetising. This recipe appealed to me for the colours, but also the textures (plus I love aubergine, basil and pine nuts so it was always going to be a winner for me!). Serves:… Read more »
Courgette ‘noodles’ with basil and avocado pesto
Spring is here! Yay! I am loving this warmer weather, and it always inspires me to get creative with lighter dishes. This courgette ‘noodle’ recipe is one of my favourites – it really holds the sauce well and the texture is great so you can literally twist it round a fork and shovel in like… Read more »
Rosemary Roasted almonds
Almonds – one of my favourite go to snacks. Full of Vitamin E and healthy fats for beautiful hair, skin and nails, this little nut really packs a nutritional punch. Little tip – if you can, get them from an Indian shop – you’ll get a mahoosive bag for next to nothing, none of this £3.99… Read more »
