Journey to Veganism…Week 3

Reflecting on this week makes me realise that I am settled into my lifestyle changes, and I am feeling very content!

Journey to Veganism…Week 1

Hi all!

I am writing today about one of my major goals for 2016- to become 100% Vegan. I am currently vegetarian and go through phases of cutting out dairy products. My aim is to completely cut out dairy and eggs, as well as changing my cosmetics to natural and vegan products. Here is how I got on in my first week!!

Review: Raw Living Juicer

Hi guys, so this is my first review, which I am hoping to make a more regular thing!! I decided to write about my thoughts on my new Raw Living juicer which I got for Christmas from my lovely fiance.

I made the switch from a centrifugal to a masticating juicer, and it really has made a difference! I’ve been meaning to make this change for a long time, but it can be difficult to splash out the money for a new and more expensive juicer! But I have listed some reasons below to explain why it is definitely worth it!!

Beetroot Cacao Smoothie

I love to use beetroot in smoothies and juices. Not only does the natural colour really make for a treat, but the antioxidants and liver cleansing properties make beetroot an excellent addition to the diet. Consuming beetroot raw is ideal as it allows for quick and easy preparation, and also means that nutrients are not lost during cooking.

Beetroot is particularly high in folate and manganese, and contain special phytonutrients that are not common in other vegetables. These provide antioxidant, anti inflammatory, and detoxing effects.

Banana Breakfast Bites

Hi guys,

This is a recipe for coconut and banana cupcakes that are perfect to scoff at breakfast time! I enjoy them with a smoothie, or they are also great to take with you for eating-on-the-go. These mini muffins are high in fibre, low GL and high in omega 3 fats! They are so versatile too so you can add in some extra nuts, seeds, dried fruits, chocolate chips…! Be creative!

Granola, it’s G-R-R-R-R-EAT!!

Another breakfast favourite today everyone, especially for those who are used to their bowl of cereal to start off the day!

I love granola as a quick breakfast, requiring minimal effort but still providing health benefits! My favourite thing about it is that it can be totally transformed by the toppings you decide to use.

Quick Breakfast Idea

So I can be terrible for including a good breakfast, it’s something I’m really trying to work on!

I find that if I am mentally prepared (and prepared in the kitchen!) and looking forward to something tasty, I am much more likely to include a proper breakfast in my routine.

A good Breakfast can be really important for helping to keep your blood sugar levels more balanced throughout the day, and also kick starts your metabolism.

So, one of my favourite and quick, yummy breakfasts..
