Cold-Pressed Coconut Cold Brew

My NEW summer coffee ritual.

Today I’m making my first cold-pressed coffee using the Hario Mizudashi Cold Brew Pot — smooth, delicious and fridge-friendly using my favourite beans from Ciscos Coffee.

Cold Brew Method:
80g medium-grind coffee
Slowly add 1L cold filtered water (wet the grinds first, then top up)
Refrigerate 8+ hours

Creamy Coconut Finish:
Frozen coconut milk cubes
Chop in Thermomix
Add a splash of organic maple syrup
Pour over cold brew
Sip and enjoy ☀️

I’ve done bulletproof coffee before, but this is its cool, dairy-free cousin — lighter, refreshing and perfect for hot days.

Cold brew or hot coffee — what’s your pick?

First batch in my HARIO Mizudashi cold brew coffee pot. Cold-pressed coconut cold brew ☕❄️ Smooth creamy and perfect for summer. Crushed coconut milk cubes and a splash of maple with Coffee. Comment COLD BREW and I’ll share the ratios.

Santa clearly knew I like kitchen shiny new kitchen cooking toys …

This Ovana beauty landed under the tree and the first batch was 🔥

Pizza, cooked in 90 seconds and honestly? Pretty delicious.

No, I’m not opening a pizza shop just yet 😂

But I am impressed.

I love Pizza 😍💚🍕
But these days it needs to be gluten free as wheat is not my freind!

Who’s tried this Caputo 00 GF flour and had good results?

Tell me your tips, tweaks or favourite toppings?

Real Food. No Fuss. 🥬🔥

January often means the fridge looks a bit… bare after Christmas.
But this is where real food habits shine.

A quick rummage and dinner came together with:
• 200g pork mince
• Grated carrot
• Chia + h**p seeds
• A splash of coconut aminos

Side note:
The pork mince came from my monthly delivery — quality, ethically sourced meat delivered to my door, which makes these “rummage dinners” so much easier.

Rolled into meatballs and cooked in 12 minutes in the air fryer.

Served with:
• Broccolini
• Baby choy sum
• Cabbage, lightly sautéed and charred
Finished with first-pressed soy sauce and sesame seeds.

Simple. Nourishing. Delicious.
No packets. No complicated recipes.
Just real food your body recognises.

This year is about small, consistent changes.
Eating real food, moving your body and trusting that simple really is enough.

Follow for easy, real-food ideas that fit real life.

Question for you:
What’s one ingredient you’ve got left in your fridge right now that you could turn into dinner?
Comment “REAL” if you’re done with overcomplicated

This year is about doing simple things and making easy changes, one step at a time for better health.

Try roasting capsicums on the stovetop.Fresh. In season. No shelf-stable preservatives in sight.
Just real food your body recognises and quietly says“this feels right.”

One tray. Big flavour.
Char, peel, done.
Use in salads, wraps, eggs, sauces or toast.
Store in the fridge with a splash of olive oil for 3–5 days or freeze for later.
Real food. Easy wins🌶️

Want a simple roasted capsicum dip recipe using this?
Comment DIP and I’ll share it.

No rush. No comparison. Just progress🥰🙌😘

Here’s to good food, grounded energy, strong bodies, open hearts and a year that supports you as much as you support everyone else 💚
