I love making all sorts of nut milk as its a delicious alternative to use in cereals or other recipes. I like to try new things and loved making this pecan nut milk.. It’s delicious with the addition of raw honey and has a lovely caramel flavour. You could make it sweeter with some dates in the blender too.

Very Berry Smoothie Bowl
I made this super delicious Superfood smoothie bowl for a lazy Sunday breakfast treat. I topped it off with a crunchy coconut oat granola, some dates, a spoon of peanut butter, flaxseeds and a slice of blood red orange (my fave!)
Check out the ingredients and instructions below to make your own delicious and nutritious smoothie bowl
Ingredients
Smoothie –
2 cups of frozen mixed berries
1 banana
2 tbsp of live coconut yoghurt
3-4tbsp of chia seeds
Other Toppings –
Flaxseeds
Medjool Dates
Peanut Butter
Oat Topping –
1 tbsp of coconut oil
1 cup oats
1/2 cup of shredded coconut
3-4 tbsp of sunflower seeds
1 tsp of Manuka honey or alternative sweetener
This recipe is super easy all you have to do is blend up all the smoothie ingredients with just enough water to create a thick smoothie. Heat the coconut oil gently in a small pan and add the oats, coconut and sunflower seeds. Stir lightly over a medium heat until lightly browned. Add in the honey and stir through (do not cook!).
Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl, top with the oat topping and the other toppings. You can change the toppings and quantities to your liking should you wish to use other things.
Enjoy! 😀

Handful of Blueberries

This is a super nutritious blend combined together. Check out some of the links below for further research and information on these superfoods.
Cacao Powder
Cacao powder is chocolate in its raw and natural state, its super nutritious. Click below for access to a really interesting article on the benefits of Cacao Powder. There is loads of information online regarding the health benefits of Cacao, I would recommend doing further research in this area. You can also make your own Raw healthy Chocolate with cacao powder…yes chocolate can be healthy. You can buy Cacao Powder in the supermarket but I find its better value to buy it in bulk. Check out the brand below for a high quality raw product.

Super Mushroom Powder
I use a blend from Indigo Herbs, I absolutely love their products and find their powders deep in colour and very high quality. They are a Uk company.

Green Smoothie Matcha Bowl
Approx calories: 335
I made an awesome green smoothie bowl this morning with several superfoods such as Green Matcha, Cacao Nibs and a sprinkle of Goji berries. These foods are positively awesome and I felt so much energy after eating this bowl of colourful foods this morning. I’ve provided some info at the bottom of this post about these superfoods and where you can purchase them.
I hope you enjoy this recipe, you can mix it up a bit with the greens and different plant milks etc. Any questions drop me a line 😀
Ingredients:
2 Bananas
2 Tbsp of Coconut Yoghurt
A handful of spinach leaves
1 Tsp of Matcha
Almond milk – just enough to create a soup like consistency
Goji Berries
Cacao Nibs (Raw chocolate pieces)
Chia Seeds
Sliced fruit of choice
Blend all of the ingredients together adding the almond milk in slowly so you create a soup like texture. Sprinkle the Goji berries, Cacao Nibs and Chia seeds on the top and add some sliced fruit of choice. Enjoy!
Goji Berries
Goji berries come in dried format in this part of the world and they are packed full of nutrients. You can actually also grow the plants yourself if your feeling adventurous. Check out the link below for further information:
https://thehealthyeatingsite.com/the-health-benefits-of-goji-berries/
You can buy Goji berries in most supermarkets, I personally buy this brand as it is organic and you tend to get more for your money if you buy in bulk! You can click on the image to order. 
Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are fairly easy to come by these days in most supermarkets and I even purchased some from Lidl recently which is a discount supermarket. If you want to buy them in bulk I personally use this brand, they are of excellent quality.
Sevenhills Wholefoods Raw Chia Seeds 1 kg
Matcha Powder
Matcha powder is one of my favourite superfoods and is apparently one of the most powerful antioxidants on the planet. It is thought that 1 serving of matcha tea is equivalent to 10 cups of green tea.
This needs to be purchased in high quality for best results, I have personally bought this brand in the past and it is really high quality and I would recommend it.
This is a really high quality matcha and is very expensive for the size of the tin but you really do get what you pay for when it comes to matcha, and this goes for green tea also. This one is actually very reasonably priced for the size, I have paid much more for this brand before.

Tropical Green Smoothie
Tropical green smoothie with spirulina and tumeric.
Tropical green smoothie recipe
Half a pineapple chopped
1 whole young coconut 🌴 including the water and the coconut meat
Top up with bottled coconut water – (not from concentrate)
2 tsp of spirulina
2inch piece of tumeric
This recipe is good for three small smoothies and two large ones i.e. a family of five!
Matcha & Chai Seed Power Milk
Matcha power morning milk drink!
If you want something powerful to replace the morning coffee this it! 😊
Click on the image for more details of the matcha I have used, there are many brands.
FINEST ORGANIC MATCHA GREEN TEA | Japanese matcha tea | Finest vibrant green powder | Super Premium Ceremonial Grade | Organic | Natural & Vegan | Tea Masters choice.
I started on 1/2 a tsp as I have not used it in a while and will work myself up to 1 heaped teaspoon, I would recommend starting small, maybe even 1/4 tsp as you don’t want to overdose on the detoxifying qualities of certain super foods.
So I blended 1/2tsp of matcha powder into a blender of almond milk and two tbsp of chia seeds…you can also just blend the matcha with the milk and skip the seeds but I needed a little extra energy in my morning drink and I was out of everything else. You could also add a couple of extra dates for sweetness if you don’t like the strong green tea taste!
I swear I always feel a boost in my energy after a matcha drink, there’s something amazing about this super food and I hope to post a few more matcha recipes in the future. Be careful to purchase a high quality blend though, you really do get what you pay for when it comes to match, Ive done a little research and the best one I have used was a ‘Tea pigs’ one and you can check it out by clicking the tea pigs image below for that but the one I have in the picture is by kineta, it’s the first time I’ve used this particular brand but I’ve felt the energy results from taking it.
Hazelnut wheatgrass smoothie
Hazelnut and wheatgrass smoothie! A quick warm winter smoothie before we head out for the day!

The ingredients are below and if your not sure where to get the wheatgrass click on the image below.
a handful of hazelnuts (use hazelnut milk if you don’t have a powerful blender)
1 heaped tbsp of wheatgrass
1/2 stick of cinnamon (optional but good for the winter)
2 bananas
water or coconut water to blend
Blend and serve, this makes enough for two! ❤️

First youtube video
Ok so I did my first ever you tube video today, I seriously had loads of fun creating it…its not very interesting, I was really just trying all of my equipment out which is pretty pants!
I need a new camera, microphone, new mac to cope with some new video editing software and some video ideas. It was great fun though and I laughed so much making it and editing it…the video quality is pretty pants but I will work on that for the next time, also my nail polish is super awful but I’ll get that sorted for next time!
Ok be kind people! lots of love xxx
