Chocolate Rice Krispie Donuts

June 11, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Firstly, please excuse the poor quality picture. My camera has broken so this was taken on my phone. But anyway, who cares, because they taste so good and you’re still going to make them, right?! I had a half-eaten box of Rude Health Brown Rice Puffs in the cupboard and wanted to use them, and…

Ultimate Healthy Hot Chocolate

November 8, 2017 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

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…

Pre-Fast Barley Soup – Low GI and Slow Releasing Energy

September 28, 2017 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

Growing up, my mum used to make this most amazing barley soup once the cold weather hit. Being an old, Jewish recipe, it used lamb. Of course, being vegetarian, this is no longer an option and I have put off making the vegetarian version because I just never knew if it would be the same….

Epic Vegetarian Portobello Burgers

July 17, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Do these vegetarian or vegan portobello burgers look amazing or what?? I mean, who needs meat! They are vegetarian but you can make them vegan by forgoing the halloumi. As you know, we don’t really do dairy in this house but we do have the odd bit of halloumi cheese every so often, especially in…

Quinoa Crunch Bars

July 6, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Remember ‘Crunch’ bars growing up? I think they were my favourite. Crunchy and chocolatey but not too rich – yum. So here I give you… the healthy version: Quinoa Crunch Bars. As long as you have a good food processor, these are easy to make. Quinoa is such an awesome source of plant-based protein, and…

Rose Pistachio Chocolate Bark

June 19, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

There is nothing more satisfying than taking a bite out of a chunk of chocolate, and indeed nothing more satisfying at all than knowing that that chocolate is made of only pure, natural, healthy ingredients than not only are not detrimental to your health, but are in fact beneficial to your health. I usually make…

Unicorn Donuts

March 27, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Well here’s something different! I’ve been obsessed with unicorns since I was a little girl. They were the stuff of fairytales with fairies and pixies and dragons and other such mystical creatures which may have been inspired by a different sort of reality, perhaps other realms? Or perhaps were thought up by wonderful people with…

Coconut Superfood Porridge

December 7, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

My poor bubba isn’t feeling too well today and has gone off his food. We do a superfood smoothie every morning but thought I’d try and give him something warmer to see if he liked it and although porridge is a funny old texture, especially if you’re not feeling well, he really enjoyed it. I…

Cacao & Cashew Oaty Bites

November 23, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I may even go as far as to say that these are the tastiest things I’ve ever made… I have to be honest, I wasn’t sure if it would even work but oh dear lord they do! So simple; literally took 5 minutes, 1 spoon, 1 saucepan and a cup, and to make it even…
