Paleo Fig Rolls

December 13, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

As a kid fig rolls were not particularly appetising. They were the snack given when parents were attempting to offer ‘healthier’ snacks, even though they never took into account that said snacks would be full of sugar. During the Jewish festival of Purim, apart from having to be in fancy dress and get drunk (yes,…

Vegan No-Fry Chickpea & Sweetcorn Fritters

September 13, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

And so the battle to come up with new and exciting things for Braxton to eat every day continues… Well, not just for Brax but for us too, because he pretty much eats what we eat now (depending on what mood he’s in, and food is always a volatile subject when it comes to him!)….

Breakfast Parfait Extraordinaire

September 25, 2015 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

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…

Vitamin Packed Berry Smoothie Bowl

September 4, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Ice cream for breakfast?? Who says you can’t be healthy and have fun! Smoothie bowls are one of my favourite breakfasts. You can literally put anything you want in or on them and you can pack them with vitamins and nutrients which is what I’ve done here. Once again, vitamins C & K and antioxidants…

Carrot & Coriander Soup

September 2, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Autumn is now upon us in London, and I’m feeling the drop in temperature instantly. I tend to make heaps of soups during the winter months. They are great for lunch as they fill you up but are super nutritious also, if you use the right ingredients. Carrots are a great source of fibre and…

Overnight Oats with Mulberries

August 26, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

It’s Vitamin K central round my house! 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…

4-Ingredient Mulberry Fudge Bars

July 4, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

  This is such a simple recipe and so healthy. Dried white mulberries contain less than half the natural sugar of raisins and other dried fruits. They are high in fibre and in protein – just 1/3 cup contains 4 grams of protein and 20% of your daily fibre needs. They also contain powerful antioxidants…

Pomegranate & Fennel Salad

June 29, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Pomegranate always makes for an impressive addition to any dish when you have guests. These beautiful little ruby-like jewels are bursting with flavour and packed with health. Over 8000 years ago they became one of the first cultivated fruits, and ever since have been a symbol of prosperity and abundance in many cultures. They are…

Spicy Kale Chips

June 29, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

This is a variation of my regular Raw Kale Chips. By adding dried onion and tamari you get more of an umami flavour and the cumin seeds give them a middle eastern twist. Healthy snacking! Ingredients 150 – 200g kale leaves, weighed once you have removed the tough centre stem 70g raw cashews 45ml fresh lemon…

Chocolate Kale Chips

February 4, 2015 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

Technically I cannot take credit for these delicious little miracles… it was my son’s idea! The last time I made a batch of Kale Chips I added a bit of cayenne. He was not very impressed and asked why I put fire in them 🙂 So I asked him what flavour he would like next…
