Coventry Viva! Vegan Festival

  For the last few weeks, I continually saw the advert for this event buzz around the online vegan community, and so a deep excitement began to brew inside of me as I anxiously awaited for this day to arrive. I'd like to think I live a highly healthy lifestyle, keeping my diet free from processed …

Paleo & Vegan Berry Crumble W/Strawberry Dairy-Free Ice Cream

Quite recently I made the switch to a paleo lifestyle, which has been easier than I initially expected. Although my previous eating style didn't consist of a lot of non-paleo foods (thanks to being vegan), there were still a few things I had been consuming, the main ingredients being sweeteners, grains and legumes. If you're …

Raw Vegan Protein Donuts

Umm... Hello. I don't really know what to say right now, as I am currently experiencing a beautiful food high. Excuse me for a moment. Did you know that this beautiful hunk of a milk shake is packed with protein and fibre? Not only is it incredibly attractive, it's actually really healthy for you. Oh, …

Grilled Tandoori Tofu: Easy Meal Ideas

This last Father's day my family and I celebrated the occasion by firing up the barbecue and enjoying the warm summer weather. As my family munched on an variety of burgers, sausages, tuna pasta and lamb, I sat happily chewing away at my vegan quarter pounder and french fries. Although I'm quite use to attending …

Coconut & Coriander Black Bean Stew: Easy Meal Idea’s

This is by far one of my favourite easy dinner recipes. My mother use to make it for me and my siblings growing up, although it was only two years ago that I started making it myself. Filled with fibre and protein, this black bean and brown rice combo is super healthy AND super filling. …

Lentil & Barley Soup: Easy Meal Idea’s

It seems just as the weather is starting to warm up here in England, I've developed a craving for soup. In all fairness, I've always been like that. Ice cream sundaes in December, hot chocolate in July. You get the point. Some things are just too good to be stuck with a seasonal label! I …

Green & Red Juice Recipe

As a vegan and self proclaimed health guru (joke), I feel like I've finally found a bit of balance in my health routine.  I think a lot of people have a misconception of how most vegans really are. Sure, when you have a glance on Instagram you'll see that the majority of vegan bloggers and …

Paleo Cashew Butter Protein Cookies

That's quite a loaded title, but I can't think of a less descriptive name to give this little creation. Basically, it's a protein cookie, with a lovely dab of smooth organic cashew butter in the middle. Magical, I know. As saddening as it is for me to admit, I've been slacking big time on the …

Apple Spice Proatmeal Pudding Repost: 31 Days of Autumn

I know this is technically cheating with the challenge, but in all fairness, it is a really yummy recipe. Today I was barely in the house and it resulted in me coming home around 5 when the light had already began to fade, which of course meant that any creation I made couldn't be photographed …

How to Introduce Your Friends and Family to Veganism: My Experience

I guess the first idea would be to pull a trick such as feeding them something that doesn't look to be vegan, then having your glorious "Guess what?! That's vegan!" moment. Perhaps for the more passionate (and less understanding) people out there, simply forcing them to watch a clip of animals being slaughtered or mistreated …

Pumpkin & Sweet Potato Lentil Curry: 31 Days of Autumn

I'm only 9 days in, and I feel like I haven't accomplished much with this challenge. Perhaps it's because I had planned to make tons of cinnamon flavoured sweets, like donuts, pies and cookies, but unfortunately I have a diet to stick to. However, I promise you the good stuff is coming soon. It's always …

Apple & Carrot Pumpkin Bread: 31 Days of Autumn

This recipe came about in kind of a funny way. Originally I was planning on making a banana/pumpkin break hybrid (I'll likely do this at some point), but my lovely brother convinced me to add in other ingredients; resulting in a kind of carrot-cake-pumpkin-hybrid. I have to say, I was really amazed how awesome it …
