Happy Easter Sunday ✨🐣 Whatever today means to you, I hope you enjoy it and can spend some time on YOU - to relax, to unwind and to practice a little self-love and self-compassion. . Self-compassion will look different to each of you - is it allowing yourself to listen to your body and eat that extra Easter egg 🍫 and to not workout hard this morning? Is it spending a few hours without social media interfering with the time you spend with family and loved ones? Is it taking yourself off for a bath, lighting a candle and listening to your thoughts. . Be mindful and show yourself some love. . And if you fancy a little baking how about this BRAND NEW RECIPE ON THE BLOG 🌈 . Hot Cross Buns Granola 👆🏼 Warmly spiced and super crunchy granola that tastes just like a hot cross bun! I’ve made mine with rolled oats from @quakeroatsuk + coconut oil from @coconutmerchant + apricot jam for a truly delicious glaze. They’re studded with juicy raw goldenberries and pumpkin seeds from @naturesheartsuperfoods - perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacking. . Now onto the chocolate… 😇 * * * #nourishingamy #easter #stresswareness #stress #oats #granola #selflove #chocolate #nutrition #glutenfree #dairyfree #london #vegan #plantbased #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #instafood #f52grams #foodphotography #fitfood #fitfoodie #fitfam #fitness #intuitiveeating #fuelyourbody #nourishnotpunish #recovery @bowlsforall @thefeedfeed.vegan #vegansofig #veganprotein @thefeedfeed @thebestmelife

Less thinking more creating 🌈💫 I am a classic over thinker, but more often than not, it’s better to just feel you way through something. Go with your gut. Trust your judgement and allow the rest to follow. 🙏🏼 I am so grateful that I get to be creative every single day. rather than “thinking” of recipes and post ideas, I like to “create” them - the possibilities are endless and my imagination can run wild. When I start to think too much, that is when the doubt kicks in and I worry I won’t be good/big/successful/pretty/smart/creative/energtic… enough. But creativity is enough!!! . So, let’s get a little creative today: . Goldenberry Easter Balls 👆🏼 Deliciously soft and rich vanilla truffles with a goldenberry centre and chocolate coating 🍫🍫 thanks @naturesheartsuperfoods ! . Here’s how 🙌🏼 Stir together 100g vanilla macadamia butter from @bnutz.uk (or use cashew) with 20g coconut flour + 10g fruit syrup (@sweetfreedomuk ) until creamy and thick. Divide into balls and roll each ball around 1 dried goldebenry. Set in the freezer for 30mins then roll in 60g melted chocolate (e.g. @pureheavenlychocolate dark choc) p.s. I love these dried @naturesheartsuperfoods goldenberries and you can get them from @waitroseandpartners !

Let the glow into your life ✨🙏🏼 Yesterday I spoke about being a “glow-getter” which is a term absolutely love and want to embody, embrace and uphold each and every day. to be able to truly glow inside and out perhaps we need to let a little glow into our lives and admit we cannot do it all on our own 🌟 Ask someone for help, a friend, a family member, the universe. Trust in your faith and ask for guidance. Hold your crystals close and be clear in your ambition and your dreams and allow the light they bring inside of you. 🙌🏼 you may notice I’m feeling a little spiritual this morning after an amazing session yesterday morning - and I really want you to feel this GLOW. However you find it, let it inside of you ini abundance! . Plus letting a little more light into your life can only have a positive impact on our mental well-being and with #stressawarenessmonth going strong, now is a great time to unwind. . I am so grateful to call my work, “work” and here is a little sign of my gratitude - a sneaky peak at Sunday’s recipe on the blog… Hot Cross Bun Granola 👆🏼 It’s the crunchiest granola yet with juicy groldenberries from @naturesheartsuperfoods and warming #easter spices. I’ve served it here vanilla @nushfoods yoghurt + salted caramel chocolate from @loving_earth + lots of creamy @manilife_ peanut butter + sticky fruit syrup from @sweetfreedomuk * * * #nourishingamy #stresswareness #stress #oats #granola #peanutbutter #chocolate #nutrition #glutenfree #dairyfree #london #vegan #plantbased #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #instafood #f52grams #foodphotography #fitfood #fitfoodie #fitfam #fitness #intuitiveeating #fuelyourbody #nourishnotpunish #recovery @bowlsforall @thefeedfeed.vegan #vegansofig #veganprotein @thefeedfeed @thebestmelife

Spring is in the air 🌾💫 And that makes me so excited for summer season - all things cooling, fresh, vibrant and full of life. I feel like this is really where plant-based foods can shine! They are, by nature, full of vivacity and energy as they are plants - they come from the ground. Now, I am not a scientist so cannot prove this to you, but eating wholesome, plant-bases foods just makes me feel so nourished - and that’s what I want you to feel, too 🌱 . Nourishment comes in many shapes and forms, colours and textures, flavours and temperatures and eating the rainbow is a great place to start. Each colour has different #nutritional highlights and can help the body in different ways - take a look at @rhitrition + @sophieshealthykitchen + @_naturalnourishment for more nutritional nuggets based on #fact ! . Now on to my rainbow buddha bowl that is a current favourite of mine and perhaps I need to write down a recipe to share with you - are you interested? . Coco-Nutty Pea Rice Salad Garden Bowl 👆🏼 The salad is simply a grain of choice with sweetcorn, peas, tomatoes + coconut flakes, juicy apricots and spices topped with creamy avocado + crunchy mixed peas and seeds from @good4unutrition - I use coconut apple cider vinegar from @clearspringuk in the dressing and serve with a good shmear of smoked chilli humous from @moorishumous * * * #nourishingamy #govegan #food #protein #healthy #hummus #guthealth #consciousliving #healthyfood @food_glooby #eatingdisorderrecovery #vegan #foodblogger #plantbased#whatveganseat #veganfoodshare #veganfood #foodporn #strongnotskinny#fitness #wholefood #plantpower #glutenfree #veganrecipes #healthyrecipes #eatherainbow #buddhabowl #nourishnotpunish #easyrecipes @thefeedfeed @veganfood_official

Hands up all the glow-getters out there?! 🙌🏼 What will you strive to do today? What will you achieve or work towards?

Now, it is links very well to my role as a @glowcation glowstar - and my latest review is now lie - checkout @fieldsbeneathcamden for amazing plant-based food in Camden. . So back to the breakfast, I was so so delighted to relieved the new Cherry Bakewell Almond Butter from @pipandnut 😋 and can confirm it’s utterly delicious, I just had to to turn it into something equally delicious: . Cherry Bakewell Baked Proats 👆🏼 Here’s what to do: 👩🏻‍🍳 Stir together 60g @quakeroatsuk oats + 30g @missfitsnutrition vanilla protein + 1/2 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp almond extract + 1 tsp maca + 2 tbsp @naturesheartsuperfoods chia seeds + 120ml @vitacocoeu coconut milk + 80g cherries + 40g blueberries + 2 tbsp Cherry Bakewell almond butter + @profusionorganic Salt ➡️ bake for 25-30mins at 170Fan and top with @nushfoods creamy cashew yoghurt + more Cherry Bakewell nut butter + superberries breakfast blend from @naturya 🍒 * * * #nourishingamy #glowgetter #stresswareness #stress #oats #proats #oatmeal #porridge #nutrition #glutenfree #dairyfree #london #vegan #plantbased #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #instafood #f52grams #foodphotography #fitfood #fitfoodie #fitfam #fitness #intuitiveeating #fuelyourbody #nourishnotpunish #recovery @bowlsforall @thefeedfeed.vegan #vegansofig #veganprotein #nutbutter @thefeedfeed @thebestmelife

Sunshine, smiles and spring-time pasta 🌟🌱 Three little things I am grateful for toady. This morning I shared a post all about #stressawarenessweek and while I also priories spending time on other aspects of health, wellbeing and mindfulness, for me, food is a big part of that. 😄 I love the time put into making a nourishing dish - it’s time to switch off from the outside world and just focus on the here and the now. It’s time to put love into your actions to truly love yourself and those you are feeding. 🙏🏼 Feeding your family and friends wholesome, nourishing and delicious food is the best way to show you care and a great way to unwind, relax and combat the day to day elements of stress in our lives. . With that I mind, I have created a super quick and easy but oh-so-fresh and flavoursome lunch or dinner recipe with @moorishumous - their range of smoked humous is like nothing else! This uses their protein-packed pea humous which is addictive 😋 . Spring Green Pasta with Pea Humous 👆🏼 Cook for 2 people: 👩🏻‍🍳 Fry off 1 courgette in small moons + 10 chopped talks of asparagus + 100g chopped broccoli + 3 crushed garlic cloves in olive oil for 10 mins until tender. Meanwhile cook 150-200g pasta in boiling water according to packet instructions and add 160g peas for final 5 mins. Drain pasta and reserve some water. Add the pasta and peas to the frying pan with 100g Pea Humous, splash of pasta water + 1 tbsp lemon juice and stir. Serve with mixed greens, pine nuts and black pepper 🌱 * * * #nourishingamy #humous #veganbowl #bestofvegan #vegancommunity #comfortfood #vegan #veganfood #whatveganseat #veganhealth #veganprotein #veganrecipe #tahini #glutenfree #dairyfree #feedfeed @feedfeed #vegano #iamwellandgood #veganfoodshare #onmyplate #nourish #vegansofig #thrivemags #pasta #f52grams #intuitiveeating #strongnotskinny #carbs #eatyourgreens @bowlsforall @thefeedfeed.vegan
