To be honest, I’m not sure what to call these! They are at the same time: energy bars breakfast bars cereal bars no bake / raw bars snack bars dried fruit bars dairy free / vegan I also think you can probably swap the apricot and date for any other dried fruit and they would…
These are great – really easy, relatively quick, no added sugar and also freezable. And probably most importantly, they taste really nice. The recipe page I got them from also has lots of other great muffin ideas. I’ve written out below how I made them because it differs a bit from the original page. The…
A lovely alternative to a bircher breakfast, this takes a few minutes to make the night before and is a refreshing and healthy way to start your day. It’s really simple, you just mix together the dry and then wet ingredients, and leave in the frige overnight. It’s then delicious as it is, or the…
I made this towards the end of summer, and as mornings are getting colder it certainly makes getting up easier! It’s not loaded with sugar and somehow the nutty chocolate flavour seems to fit perfectly with early, chilly autumn mornings. As an added bonus, the original recipe has everything in cups so even if you…
Well, if you ever have an overabundance of chickpeas in your pantry, here’s an excellent use for them! I made half the source recipe as I only had about 240g chickpeas but it still worked out very well. Let’s answer the obvious question – there is the merest hint of chickpeas in the final product,…
This is a refreshing change from porridge and almost has a tropical taste to it! I had my doubts about mixing orange and milk as the original recipe suggested, but I would definitely do it again! The orange zest gives it a lovely freshness and the honey or maple syrup proportion can be changed depending…
This is lovely on a gloomy morning with a warmth and spice from the ginger even though the oats aren’t cooked. The banana just melts on the tongue after a night in the fridge with oats and chia seeds and complements the ginger spiciness deliciously! It’s really simple to make but it does need to…
This was another of those recipes the whole internet is raving about and I’m skeptical until I try it. And it’s true, it really is super easy to make granola at home. You can really vary the ingredients depending on what you have in the pantry. I used a few different recipes as my inspiration, with…
Who knew you could have porridge cold? I didn’t until I tried this! That does mean it’s not exactly warming on a winter’s morning, as it’s refrigerated overnight. But it is still somehow refreshing and there’s a perfect window of opportunity as spring starts to break through winter, when it’s lovely to have in the mornings.…
I actually made this smoothie to use up some kale, but it’s so good I’ve now made it twice in two days! It’s loosely based on a recipe I found at deliciously Ella but I left out anything I didn’t have at home at the time. If you like your smoothies, well, really smooth, this…
