Work on you, for you ✌🏼😇 You are the only you and there’s no harm in wanting to improve yourself - as long as you know the reason WHY! . Make sure you want to change/improve/grow/get better for yourself and your own sense of #selfworth and #selflove - that’s the #authentic way to use be you! 🙏🏼 So, when I came to creating some new recipes to celebrate the launch of the new @perkierfoods bars, I wanted to create something original that would challenge me in the photography area as well as styling while tasting delish! I tried these with both thee new Cacao and Orange and the Cacao and Salted Caramel and both were 😍😍😍 . Cacao and Salted Caramel Perky “Cookie” Sandwiches 👆🏼 . Homemade chocolate ganache: melt 60g dark chocolate over a Bain-marie, remover from heat and stir in 1 1/2 tbsp coconut cream until thick and glossy. 🍫 Homemade salted date caramel: soak 100g dates in boiling water then blend with pinch salt + 1/2 tsp vanilla or almond extract + 4-6 tbsp soaking water until jammy. Spread each @perkierfoods bar with chocolate ganache and salted caramel and sandwich together! Demolish 🤩 .

Comparison is the thief of joy 🙌🏼💖 I’ve mentioned this quote a few times because it’s something I feel passionately about. We are all unique and this is our superpower. There is not one person out there who is made like we are made, who feels as we fell or who does as we do. We are unique and do not need to compare. Comparison brings negativity and self-doubt. Cast this aside and see the light in you that was always shining. 💛 it’s not easy. I compare myself all the time, well, I’ve got better at stopping it! It’s a downward spiral that does not make me feel good. With stats and visual markers of “achievements” on social media, it’s a tough world, but the IG community is so supportive for the most part, so THANK YOU 17K of you. 👋🏼 I’m super excited to be a recipe contributor to @balance_festival newsletter, and here’s my first creation: . Vegan Ramen Noodle Bowl 👆🏼 sticky umami tofu cubes with ginger-garlic-chilli veggies and griddles pak coy. I fried off 200g @tofooco tofu cubes with coconut oil until crisp then add 2 tbsp Tamari. Remove from the pan and reheat with more coconut oil and add 2 sliced field mushrooms, 160g corn and pak choy and fry until tender. Remove and heat more coconut oil to fry 1-inch piece grated ginger + 3 crushed garlic cloves + 1 deseeded diced red chilli until fragrant. Stir in 2 tbsp miso paste + 100ml coconut milk @coconutmerchant + 500ml water and simmer for 10 mins. divide portions cooked noodles @clearspringuk between two bowls, top with cooked veggies and tofu cubes and pour over the ramen stock with 2 tbsp lime juice. Top with fresh coriander and seeds! 🌱 * * * #nourishingamy #ramen #noodles #tofu #meatfreemonday #veganbowls #vegan #veganaf #food #nutrition #nourish #peanutbutter #veganrecipes #plantprotein #goodnessbowl #soulfood #glutenfree #plantpower #feedyoursoul #foodstyling #feedfeed #fitfood #foodphotography #eattherainbow #guthealth #easyrecpies #eatmoreplants #letscookvegan #beautifulcuisines @letscookvegan @weareveganuary

Chill, prepare, plan, unwind 🌿✨ It’s been a wonderful Sunday spent at home with friends and family and just reminds my how important those #selfcare days really are. I’ve done some work, too, but that’s involved playing around with some matcha pancakes (thank you @matchaeologist - I’m so happy to be an ambassador - check code nourishinglove15 for discount - link in my story)… and making mocktails, eating BBQ food and answering emails… but it’s felt relaxing. When you love what you do, a day of “work” is fun! 🌟 . With the week ahead, it’s time to think of #mealprep and I’ve got another winner of a recipe for you made with @perkierfoods as part of our lunchbox campaign. Head over to their feed for the full recipe, the BRAND NEW quinoa bars are delish - I think my fave is the cacao & salted caramel! . Rainbow Sticky Tofu Summer Rolls 👆🏼 Fresh spring roll papers filled with: Sticky tamari fried tofu strips (@clearspringuk + @tofooco ) 🌶Sliced pepper 🥒Sliced cucumber 🍃Fresh coriander 🌱Fresh mint 🥜Served with sticky, tangy, sweet, umami, creamy peanut satay (@manilife_ ) Let me know if you make them #nourishingamy 🍽 Maybe I’ll pop the recipe on my blog, soon, too? * * * #peanutbutter #veganbowls #springrolls #summerrolls #tofu #comfortfood #highprotein #veganrecovery #plantbased #ukbloggers #micronutrients #eattheerainbow #veganeats #whatveganseat #saladbowl #wholefoods #vegan #dairyfree #highproteinvegan #healthyeating #plantpowered #plantbasedrecipes #macrofriendlyfood #healthyvegan #vegancomfortfood #foodphotography #foodstylist

Let your heart be your compass ❤️🌿 How wonderful it is to let our heart be our guide. After a while of working in an office a few years ago, I realised my heart wasn’t in it. I learned that I couldn’t do a job that I didn’t love, just because. I couldn’t do something just for money, id’ have t be passionate, enjoy the challenge and feel my soul alight when I think about it. i appreciate that I was fortunate enough to take this step, but I encourage you to think about what makes your heart feel full and go with it. 🙏🏼 This obviously extends far outside the work sphere, relationships, friendships, holidays, day to day hobbies and actions, pastimes… do everything with love. . Like cooking… and right now my heart is leading me to these #donuts I shared the other day and now the RECIPE IS ON THE BLOG ↗️ . Tiramisu Chocolate Chip Donuts with Chocolate Frosting 👆🏼 🍩I hope you will love them too… A fluffy banana-bread style #donut flavoured with tiramisu from @formnutrition protein powder studded with chocolate chips and smothered in thick and creamy chocolate @coyo_uk frosting and sprinkled with more #cacao 🍩 . Brands used: @plenishdrinks coconut milk + @sweetfreedomuk syrup + @coconutmerchant sugar + @moo_free_chocolates chocolate chips + @naturesheartsuperfoods cacao powder * * * #nourishingamy #vegan #plantbased #food #sundayfunday #foodblogger #veganfood #healthyfood #ukvegans #veganfoodshare #foodporn #healthy #holistichealth #chocolateaddict #vegansofig #healthylifestyle #motivation #breakfast #brunch #chocolateforbreakfast #mindbodygram #foodphotogpraphy #intuitiveeating #veganprotein #inspirationalquotes #nourishyourbody

Saturday Sunshine 🌼✨ It is set to be a glorious day and even just the promise of sunshine makes me feel happier today. I know some people don’t like it too hot, but who can complain about a little bit of sunshine, some vitamin D and a little golden glow? I am all about the glow. Eating, moving, drinking, speaking, thinking, listening… all all of these things I try to do in ways which make me glow✨ That’s why I love making food that nourishing the mind, body and the soul. It’s not about numbers and facts, food is far more than that; it’s a feeling. And breakfast foods feel really good to me, and I often eat them in the evenings too. I tend to eat dinner quite early with my family which means I get a little peckish later on and sometimes a #breakfastbowl is the way to go! 💛 Enjoy this any time of day, it will make you feel amaaaaazing (disclaimer: it made me feel amazing, I hope it has the same affect for you but I cannot promise!) . Simply Pink Strawberry, Maca and Peanut Butter Bowl 👆🏼 This was is super simple and oh so delicious. I filled my bowl with frozen berries + strawberry coconut yoghurt from @coyo_uk + simply crunchy granola from @spooncereals + sliced figs because I love fig season + smooooooth peanut butter from @pipandnut + blueberry chia jam from @eatchamuk + a chopped up maca brownie protein bar from @pulsinhq 🌿 Sparkle away! * * * #nourishingamy #nutrition #jam #peanutbutter #intuitiveeating #veganprotein #inspirationalquotes #nourishyourbody #eatgoodfeelgood #guthealth #oats #proats #healthyfats #veganbowls #plantbased #plantpowered #easymeals #breakfast #whatsinmybowl #breakfastporn #foodstyling #veganbombs #food52 #edrecovery #vegansofig #buildyourbowl #brunch #bestofvegan @mindbodygreen @vegansofldn @thefeedfeed
