A gentle and warming bowl of Kitchari is one of the best and most loving things you can give to yourself, in my opinion. Full of nutrients, it is easy to digest and every time I take my first spoonful, I am so glad I took the time to nourish myself. I feel as though … Continue reading Nourishing Kitchari

I’ve taken some time this morning to reflect on what I want to say because truthfully I don’t feel like I have the right words. This is exactly the issue: I don’t have the right words and it shouldn’t have taken an event so devastating for me to realise that. I didn’t realise just how little I knew and I don’t want to post for #blackouttuesday without a genuine intention; so I am going to take the time to re-educate myself, to look at the accounts and posts you’ve been sharing, to read the books you’ve recommended and to encourage conversation. Here are just a few accounts educating me: @iamrachelricketts @laylafsaad @rachel.cargle @blklivesmatter and I am working my way through @florencegiven story highlights . I have also been pointed towards places to donate money: ⭐︎minnesotafreedomfund.org/donate ⭐︎colourofchange.com ⭐︎blacklivesmatter.com . And book recommendations: "Why I'm no longer talking to white people about race" by Reni Eddo-Lodge "Me and White Supremacy" by Layla F Saad 🖤

AD | World Milk Day 🥛🌿 Today is officially world milk day so let’s all raise a glass of plant-based milk to celebrate. There are SO many varieties of plant-based milks right now that there has never been a better time to try a dairy-alternative ✨ From coconut and almond, cashew and oat to soya, there is truly a plant-milk out there for everyone and whether it’s in your morning latte, part of your baking essentials or a crucial part of your breakfast, @freshmilkandmore have so many to choose from! 🌟 To celebrate #worldmilkday I have come up with a deliciously creamy and milky breakfast recipe that you can make with your favourite milk alternative… 🙏🏼 . Super Seedy Overnight Oats 👆🏻 ⭐︎for two: stir together 100g oats (I used @mornflake ) with 20g seeds (I used half chia and half hulled hemp hearts) + 10g desiccated coconut + 1 grated apple + 400-500ml of your fave milk ⭐︎leave in the fridge overnight to thicken and give it a stir in the morning ⭐︎serve in two bowls or jars with your favourite toppings: I went for peanut butter, berry yoghurt, lots of fruit and giant chocolate buttons 🍓🌱🥛 Let me know what your favourite milk is and if you give this a go! . #milkandmore * * * #nourishingamy #vegan #plantbasedmilk #oats #oatmeal #overnightoats #proats #peanutbutter #easyrecipes #veganprotein #veganbreakfast #breakfastideas #feedfeed #goodoldvegan #nutrition #glutenfree #dairyfree #bestofvegan #plantbased #veganrecipes #healthyfood #fuelyourbody #healthylifestyle #instafood #fitfood #fuelyourbody

I couldn’t let National BBQ Week pass without sharing…🍔🍴 I love a good BBQ and every year I tell myself to get more organised and create some tasty BBQ recipes in time for the grilling season. So, I have a few ready to go… not surprisingly I tend to focus on all the veggies and the side salads (these are my favourite part!!) 🥗 and as much as I think it’s amazing how many “meaty” vegan burgers there are out there, nothing beats a good veg-packed patty in my opinion. And these ones are a new favourite of mine… 🌿 Carrot and Cumin Lentil Burgers (with Lemon Tahini) 👆🏻 Hearty, wholesome, full of veg, protein and lightly spiced, these patties are great in a bun or served with salad and lots of tahini dressing . I’ve popped the recipe on my website - link in bio 🙌🏻 . You will need: ⭐︎cooked green lentils ⭐︎carrot ⭐︎spring onion ⭐︎turmeric, cumin, cayennes pepper ⭐︎chickpea flour ⭐︎salt and pepper ⭐︎tahini (@belazu_co ) ⭐︎lemon juice 🍔🥕🍶 That’s it - a simple one-bowl recipe!

Do you use apple cider vinegar enough? 🙌🏻🍎 I love using apple cider vinegar in my recipes – sweet and savoury – and want to shout out that it is great for using in cakes, bakes and pancakes! Adding some apple cider vinegar to milk forms a plant-based buttermilk and it “curdles” to bind the mixture together [#ad] 🍎 I am loving this @osuvinegar apple cider vinegar as it has the mother and is blended with 100% natural apple juice for a really apple-y flavour! It has the classic tang and a gorgeous sweetness which is so good in these muffins… 🍏 Super light and fluffy, these sweet and wholesome apple muffins are topped with fresh apple pieces and a nutty crumble. They are naturally vegan, gluten-free and deliciously moreish! . #OSUvinegar #InspiredByOSU . Apple Crumble Muffins 👆🏻 [makes 12] ⭐︎add 120ml plant-based milk and 1 tbsp OSU Vinegar and leave for 5 mins to curdle ⭐︎prepare the crumble topping: stir together 50g oats flour with 20g oats + 20g flaked almonds + 1 tsp cinnamon + 20g coconut/brown sugar + 3 tbsp sunflower oil until crumbly ⭐︎whisk together 220g apple sauce + 100g coconut or brown sugar + 60g sunflower oil + 1 tsp vanilla essence into the curdled milk ⭐︎in a second bowl stir together 200g oat flour (oats blitzed into a flour) + 100g ground almonds + 1 ½ tsp baking powder + ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda + 2 tsp cinnamon ⭐︎pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until just combined ⭐︎divide between 12 muffin cases and top with 1 diced apple. Sprinkle over the crumble topping and press down slightly ⭐︎bake at 160Fan/180*C for 25-30mins until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool fully on a wire rack 🧁🍎🌿 Let me know what you think of these! * * * #nourishingamy #vegan #veganbaking #applecrumble #veganmuffins #muffins #applemuffins #glutenfreevegan #glutenfreebaking #veganrecipes #veganism #easyrecipes #bestofvegan #foodporn #guthealth #healthy #healthfood #proteinbaking #brunch #dessertforbreakfast #vegandessert #goodoldvegan #feedfeed #oats #whatveganseat #oatmeal

What feels right for you right now? 🙏🏼🙋🏻‍♀️ May is coming to an end and it feels like only yesterday I introduced the theme of “doing what feels good to you” to really focus on what we want to do in the moment. Honouring how our bodies and minds are feeling and not letting other people’s thoughts infect our own 🌟 more than ever, I have to remind myself to carry on doing what I love and honouring myself. With my reach drastically dropping off this week on IG, I wonder if I’m being SEEN on social media at the moment, but like always, I’ll ride the wave and feel the feels 🌊 If you’re reading this, thank you! What are you feeling like today? Do you fancy some cake? 🧁 Strawberry and Lemon Banana Bread 👆🏻 A fruity, moist and light banana bread sponge with so many juicy strawberry pieces, lots of lemon zest and a sticky glaze, perfect for this summery weather! 🍌 The full recipe is on my website along with my other banana breads - search “banana bread”… and also link in my stories 🤗 . Here’s what you need: ⭐︎GF or normal plain flour (I used @freeefoods ) ⭐︎bicarbonate of soda & salt ⭐︎BANANAS ⭐︎vegan butter or margarine or coconut oil (I love @naturli ) ⭐︎coconut or other sugar (@coconutmerchant ) ⭐︎vanilla essence ⭐︎plant-based milk (@plenishdrinks ) ⭐︎lemon ⭐︎strawberries ⭐︎icing sugar (@tateandlylesugars ) 🍓🍋🍌 * * * #nourishingamy #vegan #wellbeing #bananabread #strawberrycake #banana #vegancake #easybaking #veganbrunch #foodporn #veganrecipes #intuitiveeating #morningslikethese #vegansofig #veganfoodie #plantbased #veganfoodporn #veganeats #veganfoodspot #healthyfoodshare #feedfeedvegan #bestofvegan #glutenfreevegan #f52grams #glutenfree #nutbutter #tasty #easyvegan

Jasmin Dragon Pearl 🐉🌸 Are you a tea fanatic like me? How much do you know about where your tea comes from and the journey it has been on? I genuinely love learning more about it and make sure to enjoy tea not just to drink, but in my recipes too… read on for this creamy and fragrant breakfast bowl 🌿 . Jasmin is a night-blooming flowers and are picked early in the mornings while the petals are closed. When the flowers open in the early evening, they make a popping sound! They are then left to mix in with the tea for 5 hours before being removed and the tea is then dried – this is repeated six times with fresh Jasmin flowers, resulting in the most fragrant and beautiful tea from @essencesiptea [#ad] . They have such a beautiful range of tea from black to white and everything in between… and they’ve offered me a discount for all of you. Use this for 10% off the range: nourishing.amy10 ✨ . Now time for some breakfast! . Jasmine Pearl Rhubarb Porridge 👆🏻 [Serves 2] ⭐︎chop 100g rhubarb into small slices and bake at 160Fan/180*C with 2 tbsp coconut sugar and 1 tbsp lemon juice for 20-25mins ⭐︎add 2 tsp Jasmine Dragon Pearl Green Tea to a cup and allow to brew in the 500ml hot water for 10-15 minutes and drain (keep the leaves to use again) ⭐︎add 100g oats and 2 small grated apples to a saucepan with 400ml of the brewed tea and gently heat until creamy. Add in 50g vanilla protein powder, if desired, and up to 100ml more tea ⭐︎serve warm topped with the roasted rhubarb, some yoghurt, fruit and syrup .
