Oh dear. I think I died. And went to breakfast heaven . . . This is the most amazing ‘smoothie’ bowl I have made yet, full of zingy orange and crunchy chocolate chips. The frozen creaminess comes from yoghurt ice cubes, and the chocolate ‘chips’ are broken strands of frozen…
Another fabulous soaked chia flavour! This one is dark, gorgeous, and almost smoky with the coffee hit and chocolate. I love decadent breakfasts. Wait, no. I adore them! Chia is absolutely brimming with nutrients – omega-3 fatty acids, protein, calcium, minerals, and fibre. Because they soak up so much liquid,…
I’m continuing my path down soaked chia seed breakfasts – and enjoying myself! This particular creation is chocolatey, peanutty, and utterly delectable. No sweetener made any appearance in mine, further enhancing the rich flavour. If you must, rice malt syrup or a bit of dextrose would be acceptable. This is…
A wordy title perhaps, but I could not think of another way to convey the utter beauty of this breakfast. Soft, chewy, rich, and smothered in a tangy, peanutty cream. Delicious! I used quick-cook oats to make mine, but wholegrain or traditional oats would work equally well (in fact, I…
People are often shocked to see how much I eat. At every meal, my plate is overflowing. Dinner and lunch see my lunch tray stacked high with salads and vegetables galore, covering a mound of whatever protein, fat, and sometimes starches, are available. (Then my chilli powder comes out and…
This contains no fruit, but still tastes sweet and fresh. The uber-creamy texture comes from avocado and ground chia seeds. If you only have whole seeds, you can soak them in a bit of water before adding to the blender (I powdered mine in a coffee grinder). I can’t think…
Now I am back at boarding school, I can continue my journey down Soaked Oats Lane! I have really missed their soft chewiness, and the crunch from all the add-ins here really makes these shine. These will keep you full for hours, due to their fibre-filled wholegrain oats, protein, and…
I never used to see the point of blueberry muffins. I mean, seriously, why would you get a ‘treat’ with fruit inside, with its chocolate sister muffin right beside it? My father’s reluctance to buy anything other than blueberry always baffled me. Anyway, I was at the supermarket and found…
I’ve only recently jumped onto the kale bandwaggon. I already knew about its health benefits – a power of vitamins (A, C, and K), protein, omega-3 fatty acid, fibre, folate – and how it is one of the most nutritionally-dense foods out there. Since buying my new blender (yes!), I’ve…
I got a wonderful message from my cousin and aunt, who sent me pictures of their morning green smoothie and the recipe. I am so pleased with their amazing drink! We had talked about making green smoothies while on our morning run together, so I really appreciated them sharing. It…
