It’s hard finding things to eat for breakfast when you don’t eat gluten or dairy (or refined sugar), and tend to keep it plant-based. My dear friend Denise, yoga instructor and essential oils guru, gave me the idea for these and I put my own little spin on her wonderful original recipe, and it’s given…
Breakfast
Apple & Cinnamon Granola – Only 4 Ingredients
It’s Autumn! The time of year for boots, fluffy cardigans, cosy nights in, warming drinks, comfort food and amazing, warming flavours like cinnamon and star anise. Apples are in abundance right now as well, so make sure to pick them off trees when you see them. You all know I love to make my own…
Zucchini Bread – GF, DF, SF
Zucchini Bread has a much better ring to it than Courgette Bread, don’t you think? Maybe you think that ‘Courgette’ sounds nicer, and more French, than Zucchini? But after years of deliberating, I have decided that I prefer ‘Zucchini’, despite the fact that I am British and should be calling it courgette. Well, I’ve never…
Apple & Cinnamon Granola Bars
These are the best things for on-the-go breakfasts for those busy mornings. You can freeze them and defrost in batches as and when you need them which also helps. They are full of slow-releasing energy and great nutrients with no refined sugar, dairy, gluten, wheat or eggs so are the perfect healthy breakfast or…
Maple, Fig & Ginger Granola
I know it’s not to everyone’s taste but I’m a big lover of ginger. It’s such a great anti-inflammatory so great to put in food or drink. When I make granola I usually just do my simple maple and pecan but I fancied a change this time and had so many figs at home also…
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…
Savoury Granola
I’ve got to thank my friend Lana for the inspiration on this one, she inspired me to make it. Savoury granola is fast becoming a popular choice of breakfast food in Israel so I thought I’d try it and I really enjoyed it. It almost tastes like popcorn, just much healthier – and you can…
Winter Detox Smoothie
It’s all about the detox this winter and although I usually juice my green veg as I prefer the texture, I also like to make the odd smoothie in the vitamix or nutribullet so that I can get the superfoods in like spirulina, and add an avocado which I don’t do when juicing. This one…
Breakfast Parfait Extraordinaire
Did somebody say breakfast parfait?? I haven’t done one of these for a while but I fancied pre-preparing some overnight oats and a chia pudding last night so threw together a parfait this morning with quinoa pops, almond butter and a top layer of blueberry banana acai ice cream and topped with the wonderfully vitamin…
Tropical Baobab Smoothie
I’m really trying to make the most out of the summer fruits before they disappear until next summer! I can’t get enough of them and really miss them during the winter months. As our main food belief is based on chemical free, organic food, we only eat what’s in season. If you eat strawberries in…
