It may be June, but today felt like the middle of winter! Trust London to keep us on our toes with the weather… Plus, my kids kindly like to keep me up at night and I’m feeling like I need a lot of self-care. So tonight, after putting the kids to bed, I had a…
Smoothies, Juices & Other Drinks
Lactation Tea Blend For Nursing Mothers
Breastfeeding. Ah, the ever contentious subject. Breast vs formula; breast is best; fed is best; blah blah blah. But let’s be real for a minute; however we all manage to feed our babies, it does remain true that nothing can compare to breast milk in all it can do for our tiny babies and their…
Pistachio & Sweet Cardamom Milk
How have I never made pistachio milk before now? I had a huge amount of pistachios left over from Christmas and didn’t know what to do with them (other than eat too many in one go), so I decided to attempt a new milk and was more than pleasantly surprised. Pistachios have a huge amount…
Ultimate Healthy Hot Chocolate
For me there is nothing, and I mean NOTHING, more satisfying than a hot chocolate in the winter. Even more so when I’m on my period. I believe that part of the reason we crave comfort foods and cosiness when we’re on our periods is because it is a way for us to care for…
Peppermint Matcha Latte
When Braxton was about 6 months, I wanted to start a gentle detoxification of the fertility drugs I had to take to conceive him, so I decided to start drinking matcha tea. I bought the ceremonial grade (this is the highest grade and should be the one you use if it’s for drinking) and started…
Everyday Superfood & Adaptogen Smoothie (That Tastes Like Banana Peanut Butter Milkshake!)
One of the questions I get the most is what goes in my morning smoothie and what’s the best way to start the day for children. I’m a busy mum, we certainly don’t have time for fancy buckwheat pancakes or beetroot waffles every day! But it is so important to me that my kids start…
Masala Chai Turmeric Latte
I have been drinking turmeric lattes for a while now, ever since the arthritis flare up I had last year (as turmeric is such an awesome anti-inflammatory) and I love masala chai also, so when I got given a masala chai spice kit from RawSpiceBar, I thought I’d combine the two, and it was…
Summer Berry Smoothie
This is basically the same as the summer berry smoothie bowl but this is more of a smoothie than an ice cream. It is our go-to breakfast most mornings, for me and Braxton, I just spoon-feed it to him. When there are no berries we just use banana and the other ingredients and it’s a…
Summer Berry Smoothie Bowl
The never-ending battle of making breakfasts interesting and fun yet healthy and nutritious for our little ones! Braxton loves smoothies and that is his breakfast most morning but in the summer we can cool it down even more with a delicious, creamy smoothie bowl. There are so many amazing berries available at the moment and…
The Only Green Juice Recipe You’ll Ever Need
I probably mention them too much (and they don’t even pay me to!) but I just love Able & Cole for their weekly boxes. This week I ordered a juicing box on top of my usual box and pantry stuff. This juice is full of every nutrient you need to start your day and cleanse…
