Ok so I'm really not one of these protein gym wankers who get their protein shakers out at work (you know who you are lads). The one thing that everyone loves to joke about now that I'm vegan is "But where do you get your protein from?" EVERYWHERE IDIOTS. I do subscribe to eating protein … Continue reading SMOOTHIE: Protein smoothie

REVIEW: The Herbivore Kitchen, Edinburgh
If there's one thing that will stop me in my tracks, it is the words "vegan pancakes". Seriously, no matter what I am up to, who I'm talking to, if I hear those words I loose track of what I'm doing and drift off into a world of fluffy pancakes... wait, what was I saying? … Continue reading REVIEW: The Herbivore Kitchen, Edinburgh
SMOOTHIE: Smoothie bowl on the move
Smoothies bowls are everywhere at the minute, I think that every third post on instagram is a beautiful looking smoothie bowl.

DRINKS: CHOC chick hot chocolate

SWEET TREATS: Mint, chocolate ice cream
A while back I made some vegan friendly ice cream that was inspired by a Gwyneth Paltrow recipe for sweet and salty ice cream.

BAKED GOODS: Butternut squash muffins
I absolutely love a muffin for breakfast but there's no way in hell I could eat them all the time, it's also very hard to buy a gluten free muffin that's also dairy free so I did some research and adapted a Jamie Oliver recipe for butternut squash muffins. What you need: 3 eggs 1/2 cup … Continue reading BAKED GOODS: Butternut squash muffins
SMOOTHIE: Banana and kale
So I shared a photograph of my pre-run (that's right, I'm attempting to get back into running) breakfast on Instagram is morning, coffee with hazelnut milk and a questionably coloured smoothie. Now I know that this smoothie doesn't look so great but cross my heart, it tastes good, it's full of kale, banana, hazelnut milk and … Continue reading SMOOTHIE: Banana and kale
