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
Last year I made some energy bites and I've been eating them on and off since, but they had puffed rice in them so they didn't stay crispy for long and I'd end up eating them way too fast! So I though I'd rethink it and throw together something smoother (this worked better than my … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Date energy balls
If you read my new year, new me post you'll know that I don't believe in giving things up in January (unless you're giving up animal produce like my Veganuary buddies and even then I prefer to think of that as adding more compassion into your life) which is why I'm blogging about this wonderful fudge, … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Peanut butter fudge
Chocolate makes me very happy but now that I'm eating a plant based diet, it can be tough to get my chocolate fix these days and even when I do, I get sad that everything is packed full of sugar. So, to the kitchen! Surely sweet potato brownies will work and give me that hit … Continue reading BAKED GOODS: Sweet potato brownies

But I am back, going vegan isn't about making life difficult or buying expensive and special vegan food - this is totally unnecessary guys. Some of my favourite … Continue reading THE VEGAN DIARIES: Accidentally vegan foods

Currently I'm eating hot sauce and avocado on rice cakes or toast most week days, now I love it but … Continue reading SNACKS: Quick and easy food
Peanut butter makes me so happy, so much so that I'm frequently spotted at my desk scoffing a spoonful as an afternoon snack (that's not a snack Amy, PUT THE SPOON DOWN). I used to make these amazing peanut butter cups but they were FULL of chocolate, they tasted heavenly but you could feel your … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Peanut butter squares
I was having a look through my blog for some vegan inspiration, this week I'm going to attempt to eat vegan, it's something that I've been thinking about for a while but I love cheese, all of the cheese, so so much. In the run up to Vegfest Scotland this weekend I thought it would be the … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Pumpkin cookies, the gluten free, dairy free, vegan way
If you follow my Facebook page you might have seen that I was updating my peanut butter cookie recipe, this is the one that has no dairy, wheat or gluten but packed full of flavour. Last Thursday I'd had one of those days where I just didn't stop, it was all go so naturally me … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Peanut butter cookie update
Hopefully by now you realise that I'm into no fuss food, there's nothing more off putting than healthy, wheat free recipes that have a list of ingredients longer than your arm and take two hours to prepare. There's just no need for it. Now, I fully admit that this is not a recipe, it is … Continue reading SNACKS: Peanut butter on apple
