Recipe: BASIL + HEMP SEED PESTO 💚⬇️ I will Recipe: BASIL + HEMP SEED PESTO 💚⬇️ I will admit, I am a massive pesto fan! Pesto potatoes? YES PLEASE Pesto pasta? YES PLEASE Pesto in general? YES PLEASE So with a garden full of home grown basil it was the perfect opportunity to make some homemade stuff 💚 I seeked a bit of inspiration from @cafegratitude cookbook by using hemp seeds, I used my @hempfarmnz seeds 💚 recipe below ⬇️ but I have also made this with sunflower seeds instead of hemp seeds and it works 💚 • • INGREDIENTS: 2 cups washed basil leaves 1/4 cup olive oil 1/2 tbsp lemon juice 2 tbsp nutritional yeast 1 tsp minced garlic 1/4 cup hemp seeds 2 tbsp sunflower seeds Sprinkle of Salt + pepper • • METHOD: 1. Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until combined. 2. Adjust to taste, add more basil or more lemon juice if needed. 3. Store in an airtight container or use straightaway 🍃 4. NOTE: The colour of the pesto will change once it’s stored in a container!

Brightening up my overnight oats with my new @thew Brightening up my overnight oats with my new @thewholesomestore spoon 🌙✨ These overnight oats are soon becoming a favourite of mine, and will definitely be a staple for when I’m back at university next month. I like to think of them as a healthy cookie dough flavour, and they pair perfectly with @thecollectivenz dairy free fudge yoghurt 💫 Made with rolled oats, cacao nibs, chia seeds, almond milk, and both @twoislandsco vanilla and salted caramel protein powders.

These are a few of my favourite things...💖 Cele These are a few of my favourite things...💖 Celebrating 2021 with a few of my favourite things - a chocolate salted caramel smoothie bowl, topped with my favourite @thecollectivenz plant based fudge yoghurt and @vogelscereals hazelnut granola 💖 I will admit, I have been a little quiet on content creation as of late. To be honest, haven’t really had the motivation for it and would rather be outside enjoying the summer weather but as it’s a new year, I’m excited to get creating again! With the countdown of a month to go before I head back to uni for the first time in 3 years, it’s safe to say that I will be cracking out some content before things get busy and crazy! So stay tuned for what the year has to bring I guess 💓

Here’s to summer officially being here 🥵🥂 Here’s to summer officially being here 🥵🥂 While it’s easily one of my favourite months - think sunshine, swimming and strawberries, I really do not rate the Auckland humidity 🥲 So luckily homemade ice blocks are going to be on the cards for a long time 🙌🏻 These chocolate popsicles are actually from a while back but I never got around to posting, which is super handy considering I haven’t actually been making much content lately, always nice finding food photos you never got around to posting 😂
