Welcoming a rainy day for once because it may be grey but at least it’s a bit less cold than the past few days😅
Relaying on my green bowl to bring some colours into the morning☺️

✨For the smoothie, blend:
🥛about 250 ml of almond coconut milk
🥬a handful of mixed greens
🥦a small handful of steamed cauliflower, yes cauliflower
🥄2-3 spoonfuls of yogurt (almond and coconut are my favourites)
🥄2 heaped tbsp of vanilla plant based protein
🥄1 tbsp of soaked chia and flax seeds
🥛extra plant milk or water to blend until smooth. Start with 1/2 cup

Once ready, I topped my bowl with a spoonful of almond yogurt mixed with a heaped tsp of wild blueberry powder that tastes delicious and brings with it the antioxidants and powers of berries even in winter, banana slices, almond butter, h**p seeds, hazelnut crumble and coconut. Delicious!😋

Cauliflower may seem like an odd addition but you can’t taste it and it adds such a nice texture. And more importantly, extra fibre.
We are so used to add fruits and greens to smoothies but they are also a perfect vehicle to up our fibre and rainbow veg consumption especially for people that are not the biggest veg lovers😉
Courgettes, sweet potatoes, squashes and pumpkins, even parsnips work too.
You can also add carrots, beetroot and parsnips to your porridge to add texture, extra plant nutrients and once cooked they won’t ruin the flavour, I promise😊
Do you have your own little tricks and tips to add/sneak extra veggies into meals?☺️
Hope you all had a good start to the week! Happy Tuesday!💚

Cold days call for a cozy cuddle in a bowl so topping my plant powered green bowl with a creamy dollop of coconut yogurt, baked spiced pears, a drizzle of tahini, sesame seeds, pistachio and hazelnut crumble🤩

✨To make the smoothie base, blend:
🥛a heaped cup of almond coconut milk
🥬a handful of cooked spinach/kale or any other fresh/leftover cooked greens
🥄a small piece of fresh ginger
🍠about 1/3 cup of cooked pumpkin/sweet potato or you could us a banana
🍎about 1/4 cup of applesauce or half a cooked pear
🥄2 heaped tbsp of vanilla plant based protein
🥄a tbsp of soaked chia seeds
💧water or more milk, start with 1/2 cup

✨To make the baked pears, slice and sprinkle them with spices like cinnamon, ginger, anise, mixed spice and bake at 180 C for 15-20 minutes. You can brush them with some maple or other liquid sweetener but they are so sweet and nice on their own as well.

Perfect on top of this bowl or on their own with nut butter, on a slice of bread. They add a little dose of sweetness that is much needed on the first week back to work😅

Hope you all had a good or at least peaceful start to the new year! Did you take time to think of intentions, desires, wishes or dreams for this new year or are you just living in the present and keep following where your life has led you to so far?☺️
Happy Wednesday!💚

Starting the first Monday of the year with plant colours that will hopefully colour the greyness that tends to accompany the month of January😅

✨For the smoothie base, blend:
🥛a cup of almond milk
🥬a handful of leftover cooked kale and chicory
🥒1/2 cup of steamed and frozen courgettes
🥑1/2 of a small avo
🥄2 heaped tbsp of vanilla plant based protein (you can use code ALESSANDRA for 20% off any products😊)
💧water or more milk until creamy, start with 1/2 cup

All topped with coconut yogurt, a drizzle of tahini, red grapes, dried figs, goji berries, pistachios and coconut sprinkles.
So good and full of plant nutrients🤩

January always marks the month of Veganuary and as we enter a year where fibre seems to take the spotlight and people seem to want to learn how to “un-process” their plates, adding more plants is an easy way to do so. Emphasis on adding, not taking away or turning the way you eat upside down.
This bowl contains beneficial bacteria from the yogurt and bitters from the chicory that support digestion stimulating digestive juices and immune function.
It contains cruciferous veg that can support the liver and its detoxification phases thanks to the compounds it contains as well as hormonal health and it contains lignans from the sesame. Plant lignans are converted by gut bacteria into enterodiol and enterolactone, which have estrogen-like effects and can be useful in menopause, as lignans can help ease symptoms by balancing estrogen. Also, the antioxidant properties of lignans play a role in preventing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which is a key factor in cardiovascular disease development.
Antioxidants that in this bowl also come from grapes, you know the famous resveratrol that we can get from red wine😉
And of course all these different plant foods are a source of fibre that our gut bacteria feed on and have beneficial effects on our immunity, nervous and endocrine system, skin, cardiovascular health and so much more!
So this January, remember to add an extra dose of plant goodness daily😊
Happy Monday!💚

A little throwback to this super creamy eggnog smoothie (minus the alcohol of course😉) topped with gingerbread cookie dough as I am currently travelling to the airport to go home for Christmas☺️
The perfect bowl to make over the weekend!

✨To make the smoothie, blend together:
🥛1 cup of plant milk of choice, I used coconut
🥄1/3 cup of cooked buckwheat or rolled oats
🍌1/2 of a medium banana
🥄2-3 spoonfuls of yogurt
🥄2 tbsp of vanilla plant based protein
🥄1 tsp of turmeric powder
🥄1 tsp of ground cinnamon
🥄1/2 tsp of ground nutmeg
💧extra water or milk, to reach the consistency you like

✨To make the gingerbread cookie dough:
🥄1 1/2 cups of almond flour
🥄1/2 cup of almond butter
🥄1/4 to 1/3 cup of maple syrup
🥄1 1/4 tsp of ginger
🥄1 tsp of cinnamon
🥄pinch of nutmeg
🥄pinch of ground cloves
🥄pinch of salt

In a bowl, stir together the flour and spices. Pour into the almond butter and maple mixing with a spoon or your hands until the dough sticks together.
Roll it out between two pieces of baking paper until it’s half cm thick. If too sticky, let the dough rest in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before rolling it out. Cut out your preferred shapes with a cookie cutter.

Place some on top of your bowl, drizzle a bit of almond butter and finish off with cranberries, walnuts, toasted buckwheat and a sprinkle of golden stars🤩
Hope you’ll have a nice cozy weekend😊
Happy Friday!💛

Cacao yogurt and clementines, perfect match!

✨For the smoothie, blend:
🥛around 1 1/2 cups of almond milk
🥬a handful of mixed greens (cooked kale and spinach for me)
🍠a heaped 1/2 cup of cooked squash/sweet potato/a banana
🥄2 heaped tbsp of vanilla plant based protein
🥄1 tbsp of soaked chia seeds
🥄1 Brazil nut
💧water/milk as needed

All topped with cacao yogurt, clementines, cacao nibs, hazelnuts, almonds, dried raspberries.
So good with a dose of vitamin C but also minerals like iron, magnesium, selenium that support immune function because it’s it about vitamin C😉

➡️Magnesium is involved in the adaptive immune system and modulation of acute and chronic inflammatory processes and messengers (cytokines).
➡️Zinc: the immune system relies on it for proper functioning, development and maturation of immune cells, production of antibodies and regulation of immune responses. Deficiency can impair immune cell proliferation and differentiation and disrupt the balance between proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses.
➡️Copper is necessary for the normal development and optimal functioning of the immune system. Deficiency can increase the risk of infections, as copper plays a role in immune response modulation.
➡️Iron, involved in the effectiveness of macrophages’ antimicrobial immune response.
It regulates the activity of various inflammation transcription factors, including NF-B, NF-IL6, HIF-1, STAT1, and Nrf2, although not consistently. Iron also stimulates the production of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs), which subsequently enhances NF-B activity, key transcription factors in the beginning and intensification of the immune response
➡️Selenium, essential for proper functioning.
Individual selenoproteins control inflammation and immunity (Glutathione peroxidases are required for antioxidant function as they eliminate an excess of harmful radicals created during oxidative stress).
Selenium levels affect autoimmunity, allergic asthma,chronic inflammatory diseases.
A dose of plant goodness daily!😊
Happy Monday!💚
