Life is short, eat dessert first 🎂😇 Happy weekend and what a way to start - by eating dessert?! While I totally try to live by what my body craves and needs, I am not an overly sweet person first thing so I tend to lean towards savoury #brunch dishes when I am out - heading to London today for a brunch catch up with a friend and planning on something delicious. And if I am at home, I tend to wait a little bit and eat a later brunch-style dish but thanks to so many delicious products on the market and the natural beauty of fruits, I tend to feel like I’m eating #dessertforbreakfast some mornings! 🎉 On that note, I am also hoping to check out @londondessertfestival this afternoon - are you going? Do you have any recommendations? . Before the feasting commences, I’ll leave you with a brand new smoothie that I am loving right now. It’s fresh and fruit with a subtle chocolate and cinnamon kick that makes it feel so indulgent while packing in lots of fruit! The toppings are essential too, for that bit #extra 🍫 . Blackberry Cacao and Cinnamon Smoothie 👆🏼 1 banana 100g frozen blackberries 80g frozen strawberries 2 tbsp cinnamon cacao protein @the.nu.company.uk 100ml almond milk @plenishdrinks —> blend together and top with 1 crumbled peanut butter choc chip @larabaruk and a swirl of strawberry @nushfoods yoghurt! ✨ All this while channeling my inner @healthy_twists as their smoothie and bowls are too gorgeous! ❤️✌🏼 * * * Gifts | #chocolate #breakfast #nourishingamy #smoothies #smoothiebowls #smoothie #smoothiebowl #veganrecipes #plantbased #veganbreakfast #healthybreakfast #foodphotography #foodstylist #feedfeed #thrivemags #nourish #refuel #foodblogfeed #vegansofig #heresmyfood #dairyfree #veganfoodshare #plantstrong #bestofvegan #veganprotein #ukbloggers #london @thefeedfeed @thefeedfeed.vegan

True beauty is more than skin-deep ✨🥰 . When it comes to fruit, I am often in awe of the simple beauty of each piece of edible sweetness and what’s more impressive is when the inside truly matches the outside, too. So, I am so excited to share this post with you today featuring the truly gorgeous @metisfruits 🌸 . They are a natural cross between a plum and an apricot - meaning they are a gorgeous new stone fruit. Crisp and firm on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside, there are 4 members of this new Metis family, all with beautiful names: Oxy Solar (the ones featured here), Dark Moon, Safari Star and Sunset Sky #ANewWorldOfFruit 🌈 . You can read all about the different varieties on my blog post - link in bio 🙌🏻 . Plus, check out my special brand new recipe for: . Roasted Metis, Mint and Cream Cheese Crostini 👆🏻 Crispy crostini bases topped with vegan cream cheese and sticky roasted Metis fruits that turn wonderfully sweet, tangy, jammy and tender in the oven. Finished off with some fresh mint, a sprinkling of crushed pistachios and a little syrup - these are perfect finger food, snacks, lunch ideas or appetisers! ✨✨ Go and grab your @metisfruits now from Co-Op, Asda, Morrisons, Tesco, and Costco and get them roasting! ✨ #ad | #vegan #veganfood #plantbased #vegansnacks #plantbased #cheese #fruit #summerfruit #vegansofig #ukbloggers #veganbloggers #easyrecipes . #homemade #nutrition #dairyfree #bestofvegan #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #ukvegans #f52grams #foodphotography #fitfam #fitness #fuelyourbody #nourishnotpunish #breakfastofchampions #feedfeed #holistichealth

You are doing wonderful darling 🤩💖 How about a little Thursday reminder that you are doing great this week. The weather really is dampening my mood. Yesterday I felt so tired for no reason, I hadn’t worked that hard but the low light, grey clouds and rain really got me feeling low… and I’m not the best at listening to my own advice and “taking it easy” 💫 I felt “bad” that I didn’t really do any work… I spent all afternoon on my laptop on emails and planning blog posts etc but still didn’t feel “productive” but I made myself sit with that feeling until it felt OK and remembered to RELAX 🙏🏼 So, if you need to #chillout today or anyway and want to make something quick, delicious, good for you and additive, this is for you . LINK IN BIO ➡️ . Vanilla Banana Nut Protein Granola 👆🏼 Super crunchy, full of clusters, banana-nut flavour and lots of texture, this is great over #smoothiebowls or with #peanutbutter and banana as a #vegansnack. 🌸 Here’s what you’ll need but head over to my blog for the details! - 60g coconut oil (@coconutmerchant ) - 1 ripe banana, mashed - 150g buckwheat flakes (@koro_uk ) - 50g soya protein crispies (@koro_uk ) - 50g pumpkin seeds (@naturesheartuk ) - 100g cashew nuts (@koro_uk ) - 1 tsp cinnamon - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (@freesoulsistas ) - Pinch salt (@profusionorganic ) .

It’s Wednesday, have an ice cream 🍦🎉 Way too often we “save” some foods for special occasions and don’t realise we are putting strict and weird food rules in place. Now, I am no expert, nor am I am nutritionist - check out my go-tos for advice and tips @rhitrition @thefoodmedic and @laurathomasphd for information - but I do love learning about food! 🌱 listening to their podcasts and especially reading Laura’s book on #intuitiveeating really highlights how so many of us have weird and “disordered” relationships with food and we don’t trust our bodies enough to tell us what we fancy, how to maintain #balance and how to be full. But it’s something I am learning to do and really enjoying the process… . So the other evening when in fancied an ice cream, I went all out. And when I fancied one as part of a #breakfast creation, I similarly enjoyed it! . Salted Caramel and Berry Chocolate Ice Cream Jar 👆🏼 Simply layer up smashed raspberries with almond @nushfoods yoghurt, some luscious berry cherry muesli from @dorsetcereals in a glass smeared with homemade salted date caramel (blend up some jammy dates @koro_uk with some @profusionorganic pink salt until gooey) and top with a @miiro_ice_cream salted caramel ice cream! Ta daaa ✨✨✨ . My #wednesdaywisdom - have the ice cream. * * * Gifts | #nourishingamy #icecream #nicecream #saltedcaramel #nutrition #glutenfree #dairyfree #vegan #bestofvegan #plantbased #healthyfood #fuelyourbody #healthylifestyle #instafood #f52grams #foodphotography #fitfoodie #fitfam #motivation #foodiesconnected #ukvegans #holistichealth #chocolateaddict #vegansofig #feedfeed #feedfeedvegan

Meatfree Monday Tuesday all week long 🌱🍆 Fun fact: I remember a friend coming into one go my French l lectures in final year at uni and telling us all about this movement called #meatfreemonday to encourage people to eat a bit less meat and skip it altogether on a Monday. 😊 Back then I wasn’t #vegan or even #vegetarian but I wasn’t having dairy milk, and was super interested in health, nutrition and #superfoods but still I wasn’t quite convinced. . Fast forward a few years and now I’m #meatfree #alldayeveryday and love it. In honestly can’t think of a better way to look after myself, my health, the planet, the animals and the community. So, if you fancy changing it up, try a meat free day or meal every so often and see the benefits! . Now for a super tasty, delicious and simple dinner to celebrate . Mexican Oumph and Kimchi Stuffed Sweet Potato 👆🏼 Roasted one large sweet potato until tender, cut in half, open up and stuff with smoky kebab @eat_oumph (in 1 tbsp oil, fry off 1 sliced red onion, 1 sliced red pepper, 1 pack kebab @eat_oumph pieces until tender and saucy), some chilli cream cheese from @nushfoods , some kimchi from @theurbanfermentery and some #guacamole from @holymolydips 🥑🥑 . Serve with roasted tomatoes and sesame seeds for extra yum * * * Gifts | #nourishingamy #easyrecipes #feedfeed #nourishbowl #vegan #getinmybelly #tasty #eatmoreplants #feedfeedvegan #veganfood #food52 #foodphotography #yummy#guthealth #whatveganseat #vegansofig #veganrecipe #healthyeating #healthyvegan #holistichealth #plantbased #flatlay #dnesjemvegan #glutenfree @veganflatlay
