Chocked full of amino acids, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, vitamin B1, as well as the minerals phosphorous, manganese, and selenium, this tofu-rich mousse is incredibly healthy! Tofu is full of phytoestrogens, which potentially reduce the risk of breast cancer. For me, I like this mousse because it is creamy,…
With all my dessert-y breakfast posts, it may seem like I don’t eat anything else! However, I actually manage to stuff in a lot of vegetables and protein throughout the rest of my day. So what is a typical lunch for me? Well, at school we are given a ‘main…
Do your ever find yourself wishing for a fresh, crisp bowl of homemade granola, but can’t find the time for oven-baking? Do you ever wish there were a healthy, delicious granola without all the added oils and sugars? Well now you can make your own, customised exactly to your tastes…
Yes, there are many recipes for tiramisu out there – traditional, layered into a dish, individual servings in fancy glasses, and layered cakes, like this one. However, how many tiramisu recipes are devoid of shop-bought, refined-flour-filled savoiardi/ lady finger biscuits, or white, bready sponges? How many tiramisu recipes are free…
I love custards – spiced, plain vanilla, fruity, coffee-flavoured . . . But chocolate peppermint has to be my favourite! This one is rich, creamy, and satisfying – the dark, almost bitter chocolate is cut through by the fresh peppermint. I think eating desserts for breakfast is great, as long…
At my school, dinners are always accompanied by desserts. Perhaps once a week, an upside-down sponge cake will be served, along with huge vats of custard. Mmmm, custard! I see people ladling it onto their puddings, and I just wish I could eat a giant bowl of custard. However, being…
These are low(ish)-carb, high-fibre, and full of satisfying fats. Chocolatey to the extreme, crumbly, and moist, these are somewhere between dense brownie, cake, and fudge! I drizzled mine with a chocolate sauce (melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, and dextrose), but they are perfectly delicious plain, too. In fact, these are…
Perfect spread on toast, crackers, pancakes, eaten straight from the spoon, or consumed any way you usually would regular “Nutella,” this low-fructose version is delicious! With scary ingredients like hydrogenated vegetable oils and copious amounts of sugar, the shop-bought chocolate-hazelnut spreads are pretty much icing (i.e. evil in a jar!).…
I love how filling, creamy, and delicious this is! The corn is full of healthy carbohydrates to keep me full for hours. I don’t like eating super-processed and refined carbs – think white, floury things! – but enjoy a breakfast full of hearty, whole grain oats, or polenta (like this…
This smoothie may look ugly and green, but if you leave out the spirulina, it will be palely and prettily pink! However, I love the dose of B vitamins, protein, iron, calcium, chlorophyll, and many other nutrients the ‘algae’ (cyan bacteria) adds. It contains the essential fatty acid GLA (gamma…
