We suffer more from imagining too little than we do from imaging too much 🤩🙏🏼 This is a little quote from one of my favourite musicals, The Greatest Showman and it’s been brought back to mind after watching Hugh Jackman last night on the Brit Awards, how amazing was he?! Did you see? 🥳 Back in reality away from show-biz land, the sunshine today really has us fooled into thinking it’s springtime and we cannot be blamed for dreaming of warmer days. Of summer days. Of holidays. Of light and love and freshness. let us allow our imagination to run wild and create all sorts of fancy tales for us 🧚🏼‍♀️ . Without imagination, we have no dreams, no ambition and no drive. Continue to imagine BIG and see all the amazing things we can achieve! . After whipping up this Black Rice and Lentil Mediterranean Salad 👆🏼 the other day I couldn’t wait to share it with you and can now say that the recipe is LIVE ON THE BLOG 🌟🌟 . Made with deliciously nutty black rice from @belazu_co , Puy lentils from @merchantgourmet I added the best smokey sun-dried tomatoes, olives and veggies dressed in a simple balsamic dressing with a bit of salt (@profusionorganic ). It’s simple, wholesome, pant-based food at its finest! * * * #nourishingamy #thegreatestshowman #inspirationalquotes #nutrition #govegan #protein #healthy #healthyfood #vegan @vegan @foodandwine @wholefoodsuk #foodblogger #plantbased#whatveganseat #veganfoodshare #veganfood #foodporn #strongnotskinny#fitness #wholefood #carbs #plantstrong #glutenfree #mediterraneandiet #veganrecipes #foodgasm #meatfree #healthydinner #iifym #healthyeating #dinnerideas
Take time to listen, observe, live in awareness 💖🙏🏼 Mindfulness is a buzzword, but do many of us know what it means or incorporate any mindful practice into our day to day lives? ✨ Mindfulness means different things to different people but I guess the groundings of it it being aware of the here and the now and living in the moment. Not letting fears of tomorrow and regrets of the past plague our current thoughts. We are who we are right now, so if we stop to take check of what is happening in this very moment, we may just notice a little more. The colour of the sky. The taste and texture of the food we are eating. The feeling of our muscles as we walk… So many little things that we can become more aware of. i try to incorporate as many mindful practices as I can into my day, and food is one of them. No phones, no TV and no laptop to distract my meal so that I can enjoy every mouthful and really be grateful. 🤩 This is one such bowl that takes even better when eating with a little more attention… Raspberry Chocolate Pudding Bowl 👆🏼 so so delicious and healthy enough for breakfast? Decadent chocolate fudge pudding (@pudology ) with raspberry coconut yoghurt (@coconutcollab ) topped with berries + rawberry buckwheat granola (@rawgorilla ) + salted chocolate roasted peas (@bravefoods ) + cacao nibs (@naturesheartsuperfoods ) plus pretty pink pitta powder (@unicornsuperfoods ) * * * #nourishingamy #morningmotivation #inspirationalquotes #pink #breakfast #pudding #paleo #vegan #granola #chocolate #veganbaking #veganbreakfast #beautifulcuisines #thrivemags #sweatwithkayla #fitfoodie #healthybreakfast #breakfastinspo #veganrecipes #foodphotography #chocoholic #letscookvegan #plantbased #eattherainbow #feedfeed #lovefood #heresmyfood #veganfood #foodstylist #wholefoods @bestofvegan @vegan @thefeedfeed
Shake it up to wake up!! 🤩🎉 It’s good to shake up your routine and I’m feeling all the “shakey” vibes after my post this morning about dancing to your own rhythm and then a full on day in London. I am so grateful that I get to do what I love and have fun at the same time. I’m definitely dancing to my own rhythm today. The yoga class this morning was a refreshing way to kick start the day followed by deliciously thick and creamy açai bowls with @sambazonuk - I always love learning about the actually açai berry. Do you know much about them? They’re almost 95% stone so only 5% fruit!! But the stone isn’t wasted as the farmers use these to make bracelets and Sambazon buy them back - how beautiful is that?! . I got properly shaky at the @vitacocoeu 🥥🥥 shakedown to celebrate their new pressed coconut water which is #impossibletohate - think creamy coconut milk but refreshing coconut water form. They also had jiggly power plates which were fun to play around on. . Then i enjoyed the mother of all lunch feasts with @fitnessgrains at @redemptionbar (check out my stories for all the details 📸) From apple mockjitos to vibrant buddha bowls and the fudgiest hazelnut brownies and nutty chocolate chip cookies, the whole meal was DIVINE but has left me so full. I can’t think of dinner right now but I can think of these… Double Chocolate Banana Bread Brownies 👆🏼 The recipe for these is on my blog, have you tried them? I’d love to hear your thoughts, they have a great dark chocolate tahini ganache stuffed with chocolate chunks @octochocolate and sprinkled with hemp seeds @goodhemp * * * #nourishingamy #food #foodblogger #veganfood #vegan #brownies #veganbrownies #chocolate #rawcacao #hemp @beautifulcuisines #beautifulcuisines #ukvegan #veganuk #veganism #veganrecipes #feedfeed @thefeedfeed @thefeedfeed.baking #bananabread #foodgram #instafood #healthyeating #plantbased @plantbasednews #f52grams #buzzfeast #forkyeah #vegansofig #vegansofldn #bestofvegan @bestofvegan #glutenfree #whatveganseat
Dance to your own rhythm 💃🏻✨ Happy Humpday Instagram, let’s get dancing. Let your hair down and do your thiiiiing. It doesn’t matter if you’re slightly out of time with the music or if you take off your heels half way through a night out, the most important thing is that you are happy, flamboyant and FREE. 🤗 Now that’s quite a thought for a Wednesday morning when most people are off to work and not off for a night out. The thing I’m trying to say is just BE YOU. Be unashamedly and proudly you. Live your life as you see fit - eat what makes you feel good and not what the diet books or Instagram accounts tell you to, exercise how your body wants you to and not according to the latest #fitspo trends. Be YOU!! 🎉 And with that thought, let’s bound into a super original and groovy smoothie. There’s a new recipe on the BLOG NOW Rocket Ginger Smoothie 👆🏼 Inspired by a similar smoothie I enjoyed at @avobarlondon on a delicious review for @glowcation this is super thick, naturally sweet with a refreshing peppery tang. Creamy thanks to avocado, banana and almond butter (@pipandnut ) blended with pressed coconut water (@vitacocoeu ) and full of fibre and protein too with flaxseeds (@yumandyay_ ) plus a sprinkling of hemp seeds (@goodhemp ) . I’m also rather excited today as I’ve been invited to a Voga class and brunch with @lonedesignclub and @sambazonuk for @londonfashionweek followed by lunch at @redemptionbar - what a perfect day! * * * #nourishingamy #humpday #yogisofig #londonfashionweek #yoga #avocado #greensmoothie #smoothiebowls #breakfastbowls #smoothie #whatveganseat #veganuk #veganfoodlover #veganfood #recipeoftheday #almondbutter #veganfoodspace #veganfoodshare #vegantreat #vegandessert @vegangotgame #vegangotgame #bestofvegn #strongnotskinny #morningmotivation #inspirationalquotes #eatcaptureshare #simplefood #gloobyfood #easyvegan
Be kind to yourself ❤️💁🏻‍♀️ Wow I definitely need to remind myself of this today. After a full on weekend, it was quite a shock to the system to head straight back to work Monday - even though have the BEST team and love what I’m doing there, Monday’s are always that bit “Monday’s” aren’t they. So Tuesday was also super busy but I’m feeling more on top of tasks and have ticked off a few things… one of them being a big reveal leading up to the @hbloggerscom Summit in March which I am super excited about. Are you coming? ✨ When time gets tough, I appreciate the peace and tranquillity of the kitchen even more. cooking, baking, chopping.. these are all things I do to show myself a little self-love. What do you do? I also love to meditate, chant affirmations, enjoy matcha lattes and practice a little yoga flow every morning. I’d love to hear about your acts of self-love? 💜 Not only is #selflove the theme of the month on Nourishing Amy’s Monthly Musings but it was also the theme of the beautiful event I went to last week with @pudology and @perkierfoods . In the lead up to Valentines Day, it was so fun to celebrate with fellow foodies, bloggers and health and wellness enthusiasts and I took away so much from it - not to mention the mountain of chocolate puddings and quinoa snacks! This is me, posing with a ballon, trying to spread a little more self-love in the world Happy Tuesday 🤩 * * * #nourishingamy #positivity #vegan #healthy #healthyliving #fitnessjourney #ditchthediet #strongnotskinny #mindsetshift #bodypositive #balance #love #smile #radiatepositive #bodylove #selfcare #foodisfuel #ukblogger #veganblogger #vegansofuk #ukvegans #veganfood #lifestyleblogger #girlboss #vegangirlboss #vegansofig @vegan @vegancommunity #veganlondon #vegangirl #veganfashion
What is done with love is done well 💖🌟 When you put love into your actions, they can only be good. From cooking, exercise, work, meeting friends, writing… whatever it is, love adds that extra sparkle that you won’t find in any recipes, handbooks or journals. . Have you ever enjoyed a really simple meal but somehow it tastes magical - and that’s because you or whoever has cooked it for you has put in their time, efforts and love. It really can transform the most mundane of ingredients. the same can be said for work. Put your heart into a piece of writing and it will shine through. . What do you put your heart into most? 💁🏻‍♀️ Cooking is my obvious one but I can’t stress enough how important it is to me. The whole process… from chopping the ingredients, to thinking how to present it, to sitting down to enjoy the meal - I do it all with LOVE. Like this EPIC sandwich BBQ Tempeh Reuben 👆🏼 So a Reuben is typically American toasted sandwich with rye bread, corned beef, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut… so I made it a little more plant-based and nourishing! Toasted seeded wholemeal bread (@sainsburys ) plus all the layers: Spinach Kimchi @theurbanfermentery BBQ tempeh strips @plantpowerfoods with homemade spicy BBQ sauce (tamari @clearspringuk ) Grilled Aubergine Avocado slices Farmhouse Cheese @kindaco * * * #nourishingamy #toasttuesday #toastsforall #tempeh #vegan #veganfoodporn #foodporn #foodphotography #plantbased #vegancheese #veganrecipes #eatyourgreens #eatvegan #eatplants #planteater #veganfood #nutcheese #cheese #carbs #avocado #guthealth #fermentedfoods #yogisofig #inspirationalquotes #morningmotivation #brunch #healthyfood #bestofvegan #foodblog #feedfeed @thefeedfeed @toastsforall @vegan.toasts
