Loved representing at the Edinburgh Vegan Festival this weekend! 😃
Always SUCH a pleasure to be surrounded by so many like-minded wonderful humans. Vegans are the best! 😁💚
This year marks 12 years of veganism for me and 10 years of involvement with CNM: first as a student, then as an assistant supervisor and now as part of the team supporting students in Edinburgh and around the world on their own journeys into natural health. And now I’m back full circle studying again for my diploma in Naturopathy.
I love the opportunity to combine my passion for veganism with my passion for this college. Two really important elements on my own journey through life 💫

Dark Chocolate Bark with Pistachios, Almond Butter and Sea Salt 🌟🌟🌟 (vegan of course!)

A great semi-healthy snack which was sooo easy and quick to make, VERY delicious, and made a fab birthday gift for my dad! 💫

Here is what I did, save this for future reference!
(Just don’t tell my dad how easy it is)

1. Took 2 bars of good quality dark chocolate (I used 70%), placed on baking paper on an oven dish and put in a pre-heated oven (170 Celsius) for about 3 minutes until just starting to melt (not too much!)
2. Swirled in almond butter (you could use peanut butter of course) into the semi-melted chocolate
3. Topped with pistachios and a little good quality sea salt flakes.
4. Left to cool, then put it in the freezer to set (min 1 hour)
5. Take out freezer and smash into random pieces.
I upcycled another chocolate box to put them in to make a nice gift 💝

Of course you could adapt this with any toppings you fancy! Fresh or dried fruit, any sorts of nuts, coconut flakes or even pretzels could work 😋

Let me know if you try it!

I’m a bit addicted to this for a savoury breakfast or brunch. It’s so delicious, wholesome and warming, perfect for this shortest day of the year 🤍

It’s also so quick and easy to easy to make:

👉🏻Add a quarter of a cup of red lentils per person to a pan along with half a cup of hot water and a good quality vegetable stock cube or a teaspoon of bullion powder.

👉🏻Cover and simmer on a low heat for 15 minutes until the lentils are almost cooked.

Add a quarter of a cup per person of oats along with whatever vegetables and herbs or spices you have to hand/ fancy. I used kale, grated carrot, a clove of minced garlic and some grated fresh turmeric.
Add more water if required, to ensure everything is covered.

👉🏻Cover and simmer for another 5 minutes and then serve straight away, I like to sprinkle on some good old nooch (nutritional yeast flakes) too 😋

QUICK AND EASY WARMING SAVOURY PORRIDGE WITH SUPER GREENS 🥬

I love a savoury porridge now and then in place of my regular sweet porridge. This is soo easy and quick to make and is super healthy, protein filled and will keep you going until lunch!

To make one portion, add a third of a cup of oats (I prefer whole) to a pan along with cooked chickpeas (about a third or a half of a tin- drained a rinsed), and a couple of handfuls of greens of choice. I used kale and spinach. Add approx. 150ml of vegetable stock, I like to use Bullion powder. Cook on a low heat for 5 minutes until warmed through and greens are wilted, adding more water if required. Add any optional extras like garlic, chilli flakes, seaweed flakes, fresh herbs. Top with a handful of nuts or seeds to serve, I used pumpkin seeds.

I also topped mine with broccoli sprouts and some good old nooch (nutritional yeast flakes).

Green leafy vegetables are one of the healthiest things we can eat, full of beneficial vitamins, minerals, phytoestrogens, phytochemicals, and antioxidants which support our immunity, hormonal health and mental wellness amongst others.

A great source of plant proteins to keep you feeling full til lunch, and packed with fibre too, which again supports gut health, immunity and mental wellness.

I add the pumpkin seeds to ensure there are some healthy fats in there too.

Let me know if you try it and if you come up with any interesting variations!

👋 Hi, did you know that what you eat impacts how you feel, mentally and emotionally as well as physically?
Do you want to learn to balance your mood naturally through easy diet and lifestyle changes?

💫 My 4-week programme is suitable for all. Maybe you already know what to do, but life is busy, things get in the way, and you need some help to implement it. Or maybe you are a junk food addict in need of a drastic change. Either way, I’ll meet you where you are at, and support you to make healthy changes at your pace.

💫 Join a small group of like-minded people looking to make healthy changes. Each week we’ll be building on healthy habits that actually last. You’ll have accountability and motivation from me and from each other, through a closed WhatsApp group.

💫 Plus, join weekly live sessions, get lots of resources and information, and a one-to-one session with me.

💫 Places are limited since the group is kept deliberately small, so sign up now. Social followers get 15% off (£82.45 instead of £97 for the 4 weeks).

💌 DM me to find out more or secure your place.
