Recipe: Vegan Mango Banana and Spinach Protein Smoothie

Summertime in London is….interesting. The weather constantly changes – one day it could be in the high 60s and chilly and another will be absolutely scorching hot. Add in the fact that nobody has screens and air conditioning is hard to come by and the hot days feel that much hotter.

When faced with a British heatwave, my flat quickly becomes unbearable. As a result, I crave cold yet nutritious smoothies – like this vibrant green mango, banana and spinach protein smoothie. Sweet yet satisfying and packed with wholesome ingredients, braving a British heatwave just got that much easier.

Recipe: Easy Grain, Veggie and Fried Egg Bowl For One

Cooking for one can sometimes feel a bit blasé. If you buy too much food at one time, you fear that much of it will go to waste. However, the thought of eating the same thing everyday can also get old – quickly. The solution? To get creative with how you take leftover ingredients in your refrigerator and make them into a range of yummy dishes. One of my regular go-to’s is to whip up a grain, veggie and fried egg bowl. Simple, healthy with just the right amount of indulgence – not only can you make it in a flash, but it tastes delicious.

Recipe: Chicken, Veggie and Brown Rice Stir-Fry

When I’m not on the road, I love testing out new recipes. I have a never-ending email folder filled with links to recipes online. It’s curated and searchable, which is fantastic if I want to use up an ingredient that’s going to expire soon.

This week’s test? A chicken, veggie and brown rice stir-fry from Fit Foodie Finds, a great blog with a focus on healthier recipes from a blogger who is also a yoga instructor. The original recipe called for broccoli – a veggie I’ve never really warmed to – so I decided to buy a pre-chopped stir-fry veggie mix from Waitrose (grocery store here in London) with mushrooms, bok choy, carrots and snow peas.

I did, however, stick with the rest of the recipe and it was incredibly quick and easy. The sauce was also delicious and held up well even after a few days in the refrigerator.

The end result!

It’s well-documented on this blog that I love to try new recipes. When I saw a recipe from a blog I enjoy, Love & Lemons, which replaces traditional couscous with cauliflower, I knew I had to try it.

Recipe: Sweet Potato & White Bean Veggie Burgers

In my household, Sunday evening’s are made for cooking. I – almost obsessively – read food blogs and curate my personal e-mail inbox around recipes. This includes recipes I plan to try and recipes that I’ve tried and vetted. Naturally, categories are involved by recipe type. It’s a bit OCD….and I love it.

One of my recent finds comes from a Vegan blog that I enjoy – Kathy’s Healthy Happy Life. While I’m not a vegan, I believe in the health benefits in balancing my meals with vegetables. Sometimes, I also go for a completely vegetarian or vegan option – like these Sweet Potato and White Bean Veggie Burgers.
