Cauliflower Pizza Base

August 31, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

We already have a couple of pizza base recipes on the blog, but I came up with a new one recently and it’s definitely my favourite. I use a combination of cauliflower and zucchini with psyllium husks so it is gluten- and grain-free. The mixture comes out a very vivid lime green, which is fun…

Chocolate Mousse

August 29, 2015 by theorganicspoon 2 Comments

This sugar- and dairy-free dessert is so simple and quick to make, and guaranteed to impress.

As you have probably gathered from my recent posts, I am upping my natural intake of vitamin K in the last eight weeks of pregnancy to prevent having to give my baby the injection after birth. Mulberries are the highest natural source of Vitamin K so I’m stocking…

Lunchtime Quinoa Salad (in preparation for the week)

August 23, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Stuck on what to make as a healthy lunch? I also find quinoa salad to be such a good, easy and healthy option and today I made a HUGE batch of it which means it will last me until at least Wednesday. Cooking healthy food does take time and preparation, but this took me ten…

Raw Chocolate Orange Brownies

August 17, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Being pregnant I am hungry quite a lot of the time but I try to nourish my body with as many pure ingredients as possible to give my baby the best start in life. If I’m hungry, I eat, and by making snacks like these and keeping a batch in the fridge, there is always…
