Superfood: Quinoa Flakes

Trying different types of superfood is so interesting. Experimenting with recipes and trying them out with new flavours is something I love to do. This is exactly what I have done today! I recently found a pack of quinoa flakes which I have not tried before. 

Knowing how quinoa in its normal form is and having used it a lot in the past I found it a bit of a pain to prepare and and cook, so when I found this I was excited- all of the nutrition with none of the effort!!

Eating Out Saga

It is always a struggle dining out with friends and family if you have food restrictions that narrow down the choices you can have! Looking for something that is gluten and sugar free that is still delicious but doesn't involve a piece of grilled chicken with a side of vegetables is tricky!

This is why when I had a lovely lunch out with my Mum the other say and shocked by the outcome of my lunch- wait for it - I had something healthy, filling and high in nutrients!!
I had to post this because I find it so rare to have something, in the place that I live that isn't very health-aware, that most definitely inspired me to try different spots to eat out more because it gave me ideas for my own recipes!


You may think is this it but really it was the best thing I have tasted in a while and didn't want it to end.... Enter the best superfood salad I have tasted when eating out!






The salad contained mixed leaves, cucumber, avocado, spinach

Gluten Free Pastry



One meal that I missed when I went gluten free was quiche! Such a great meal and so versatile and easy to make so when I discovered that I could make pastry that I could eat, I jumped at the chance!  

Here is the delicious recipe that I think tastes better than normal pastry.

Raw Protein Balls


These protein balls are amazing. They were one of the first raw clean treats that I made and showed me how delicious a combination of fruits and nuts can be!
The beauty of these raw bites is that they are ready whenever you fancy one, either as a clean treat or even for a quick breakfast if you haven't got time to prepare anything. 

They are kept in the freezer so they will last a good while (that's if you have eaten them all before frozen!)
