Smoothie Success Bags

When it comes to setting a healthy routine, careful planning is key to not cracking under the pressure and ending up disposing of good intentions. Since I began experimenting with smoothie bags – which consisted of putting aside some time to fill up five sandwich bags with smoothie ingredients for the week ahead and freezing…

Vegan Smoothie Bowl

Now more than ever, we have more time to get creative in the kitchen. Just like engaging in an adult’s colouring book, gardening or taking to a musical instrument, decorating your food can be an act of mindfulness. Below, I’m sharing just one of many of my smoothie recipes, along with some information about the…

Sweet Avocado Porridge

Sounds strange? Maybe. But if you think it tastes strange, I beg to differ. Avocado for me is  a smoothie staple and with the right amount of added sweetness, it also enhances their taste, and especially their texture. Since I like my avocado smoothies and usually include oats in them, I thought I’d reverse the…

Cinnamon & Coconut French Toast

To me, simplicity is key to going back to a recipe again and again. Making French toast as a kid was such an achievable, yet exciting, task for me to do on the weekend. There was always such a sense of achievement about it and when it became routine I had the confidence to begin…

Tofu Scramble

Hey guys, I’m delighted to be back, sharing a very easy, healthy and cheap recipe – tofu scramble, which is a delicious vegan alternative to traditional scrambled egg (you’ll no doubt have heard many people raving about it already). Many of the ingredients for this one, you’ll find, are already stocked in your cupboard, such…

Kale chips can only get you so far before give up and into your sweet potato fries again. I’ve noticed though, that kale can easily be hidden behind beautiful…

Easy Homemade Muesli

Because it was full of oats and dried fruits, I naively believed that muesli was always a healthy breakfast growing up. A tasty one no doubt, but most of the time it’s definitely not healthy. The oats and everything else within are fortified with sugar a lot of the time, and those dried fruits are…

Pesto Shakshouka

Ramadan has begun, and more than just being intrigued by it, I want to get myself in on the culture. The best way of doing this, I figured, is by looking into the traditional meals that not only the Emirati locals enjoy during Iftar (evening meal), but the millions of other Muslims living in the…
