Pistachio & Sweet Cardamom Milk

January 17, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

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…

Best, Easiest Vegan Chilli (and tips on staying nourished through the winter)

Winter Detox Smoothie

February 18, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

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…
