Any one who knows me well will know that I am obsessed with carrots. Roasted, steamed, stir fried, juiced whatever the variation you are guaranteed that I love them. Given my love for all things carrots it was only a matter of time until they found their way into my breakfast bowl and this delicious "carrot cake" granola was born. It goes without saying that carrot cake is one of my favorite sweet … [Read more...]

Ginger nut granola {Vegan, Gluten, Dairy, Sugar free}
I have yet to meet someone who dislikes granola. It's sweetness and crunchy texture make it impossible to resist. Granola is simple to make and the best part is that you can literally add in whatever nuts, grains and flavorings that you want. My family love this so much that I have taken to hiding it from them as I can't make enough to satisfy their insatiable appetite. I know sharing is caring … [Read more...]
Lemon coconut cashew bliss balls {Vegan, Raw, Paleo, Gluten, Dairy, Sugar free}
My sister is currently studying for exams and being the fab sister that I am I decided to make her bliss balls to cheer her up (and maybe earn some brownie points along the way......)

Banana + peanut granola {Vegan, Dairy, Gluten, Sugar free}
One summer I decided that all I wanted was to set up my own business making and selling granola. While my parents were proud of my entrepreneurial spirit somehow I don't think they were that fond of the idea of me turning our kitchen into a granola factory! My concept basically was Ben and Jerry style granola that was healthy (believe me it made more sense in my head!). Of course in true Ben and … [Read more...]
Apple, beetroot + carrot juice {Vegan, Raw, Paleo, Gluten, Diary free}
I love nothing more than a large glass of nutrient rich juice to start my day. I must admit though that initially I wasn't completely sold on the health benefits of juice as commercial "vegetable" juices are often ninety percent fruit juice with just a little vegetable juice. However when I started making them at home and realizing just how simple they are I was hooked! I try to ensure that my … [Read more...]
Blackberry + vanilla chia jam {Vegan, Paleo, Gluten, Dairy, Sugar free}
One of my fondest childhood memories is picking blackberries. Every year in late August just before school started back we would head off for a day of blackberry picking armed with a picnic and our pots and pans. Thanks to the fact that I was the youngest and vertically challenged my job was minding the blackberries while my mom and sister were charged with the task of picking the juicy fruits. I … [Read more...]
