Smoky jackfruit tacos! Who has tried jackfruit be Smoky jackfruit tacos! Who has tried jackfruit before? I’ve never really experimented much with it but after receiving some from @uptonsnaturals I created these smoky tacos, perfect for taco Tuesday 🌮 Recipe for these are up on my website now (link in bio 💖) Good thing about tacos is that you can fill them up with whatever you like and they always taste delicious 🙌🏻
Did you know you can use nut butter to make a cara Did you know you can use nut butter to make a caramel sauce for desserts? I’ve been doing it for a while now, it’s super easy and it pairs perfectly with anything from sticky date puddings to on top of pancakes and waffles. Make sure your check out my nut butter giveaway a few posts back! 🥜 Neutral nut butters like peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter work best but how about this spiced almond butter caramel using @chantal_organics NEW almond butter! • • Use 1/2 cup (or how much you need) of nut butter of your choice 1/3-1/2 cup of maple syrup (depending on your sweetness liking) Dash of vanilla essence Few tablespoons of water to thin out the sauce • • 1. Add everything to a pot on low heat and stir with a whisk until smooth. Add more sweetener to your liking, and add more water to thin it out into a pourable sauce. 2. Serve immediately on dessert or store in a jar in the fridge.
Yes it’s cold and yes I’m still having smoothi Yes it’s cold and yes I’m still having smoothies bowls 🥶 But when they look this good, why would I not? My usual go to chocolate smoothie topped with @puredelishnz snacking clusters in chocolate and almond - definitely a very delicious snack!! And some buckwheat, chia seeds and @hempfarmnz hemp seeds.

Lunch is sorted thanks to @venerdi_bread NEW “se Lunch is sorted thanks to @venerdi_bread NEW “seed and sour” sourdough 🙌🏻 I’ve been enjoying this bread toasted for a savoury breakfast or with my soups, we’ll all be having a few of those this winter so can confirm it’s the perfect toast for your soup 🙌🏻🥣 Or, load it up with goodness like I did here for the perfect lunchtime sandwich 🥪
MAC NO CHEESE 🙌🏻🥣 With the colder days no MAC NO CHEESE 🙌🏻🥣 With the colder days now, all I want is a nice comforting bowl of Mac n cheese 🧀 But since I don’t eat dairy, I needed a dairy free version and @elsas_wholesomelife hit the spot 🙌🏻 Have really been loving using nutritional yeast in savoury dishes, can’t believe it’s taken me this long to try it out! I topped my macaroni with some @topthat_mealtoppers caramlised maple, chilli and lime toppers, delish 🤤🙌🏻🔥
OVERNIGHT OATS! Who is a fan of overnight oats? I’ve been retrying them again and created this yummy one the other day which would be perfect for breakfast or lunch. Oats with a caramel sauce sound like a perfect breakfast to me 🤩 Feel free to use any protein powder flavour that you like but so far I’ve tried it with @twoislandsco vanilla/coconut protein powder and the salted caramel powder so I feel it’s pretty versatile 🙌🏻 • • CARMAEL: 2 medjool dates pitted 1 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter 4 tbsp water 1 tbsp maple syrup • • OATS: 1/2 heaped cup of rolled oats 2 tsp chia seeds 1 scoop protein powder of choice 2/3c milk of choice • • 1. Blend all caramel ingredients in a blender and swirl around a jar. Reserve half the sauce for later if wanted. 2. Add oat mixture to jar and mix with a spoon or shake with a lid on to combine everything. 3. Leave overnight in the fridge or a few hours is fine too. Serve with leftover caramel sauce or nut butter of choice, banana, coconut, hemp seeds, buckwheat or yoghurt.
