This is a super tasty combination you guys so must try! Just chopped in half and popped in the oven until golden and topped with tastiness!

1 tbsp mixed seeds
1/2 handful parsley, diced 

Chop the squash in half lengthwise and place in the oven on a lined baking sheet. No need to spend time scooping out the seeds as they come out super easy once baked. Bake for about 45 minutes on 200 degrees celsius turning upside down half way through. Once it's cooked dice into bite size chunks. Top with hummus, coconut aminos, seeds and parsley. Enjoy! Mix the hummus and aminos together for the most amazing flavour!

This was so tasty, minimal chopping and just thrown in the oven and topped with yumminess. Hope you try it!

Curried Millet and Pea Steam Fry

Curried Millet and Pea Steam Fry

I've been enjoying millet recently, it tastes similar to couscous yet is a Wholefood and gluten free. Here i made a super simple veggie millet stir fry with no oil but water instead so I called it a steam fry aha. 


(Serves 1)
Ingredients:

80g millet
1 medium carrot, diced
80g frozen peas
80g frozen sweetcorn 
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 tsp parsley
1 tsp medium curry powder
1-2 tbsp Cocofina coconut soy sauce

In a wok or large frying pan add about 300ml water along with the millet and carrot and bring to a boil. You could cover with a lid to speed up the cooking. Cook until almost soft, about 20 minutes then add the spices, herbs, peas, pepper and sweetcorn. Stir together for a further 5/10 minutes, add more water if needed then serve! Top with some coconut soy sauce! Tasty!

I have been enjoying the simplicity of chopped raw veggies and beans. All just combined in a bowl and enjoyed for lunch or taken to work in a lunch box. 


(Serves 1)

1 pear 
1 orange 
3 romaine lettuce leaves 
1 medium mushroom 
5 cherry tomatoes

1/3 tsp cumin

Dice all the fruit and veggies and add to a bowl, add the chickpeas to a separate bowl and mash up with a fork then mix in the cumin. Add the chickpeas to the salad and serve! Top with lemon juice or balsamic vinegar if you fancy. Delicious! 

Super simple recipe! Hope you enjoy!

Breakfast Recipe: Raw Vegan Fruit Muesli | gluten free

Breakfast Recipe: Raw Vegan Fruit Muesli | gluten free 

This has been my go to breakfast since being on placement this week. Full of goodness and super satisfying. It's also made with all raw ingredients, and it's gluten free and nut free for those of you avoiding them.


(Serves 1)
Ingredients:

100g frozen raspberries, crushed
1 tbsp buckwheat groats or gf oats
1 banana or apple, diced 
1 tbsp flaxseed mix 
2 gooey dates, chopped 
1/4 tsp cinammon 
1/2 inch grated fresh ginger 
200ml water 

In a bowl add the raspberries. They're best when crushed so break them up by bashing the bag they're in. Add the buckwheat, chopped banana, flaxseed, dates, cinnamon and grate in the fresh ginger. Mix together with warm water from the kettle to form a sweet raspberry 'milk'. Alternatively add a plant based milk or blend 4 dates with 200ml water or aquafaba (chickpea/ bean juices) to form a super tasty 'milk'. 

Here's the recipe video: https://youtu.be/9plsouuZzN4

I hope you enjoy this recipe. I've been loving making it everyday, switching up the fruit for what I have. How about trying orange segments or pears? Yumm.

Coconut Chocolate Chickpea Cookies | Healthy Vegan Gluten Free Sugar Free

Coconut Chocolate Chickpea Cookies | Healthy Vegan Gluten Free Sugar Free 

I absolutely love cookies as everyone does but it always requires either oats or flour. Today I came up with an amazing gluten free recipe using a can of chickpeas! I added coconut flour for an amazing coconut flavour but if you don't have it then just don't add it, they work delicious without. If you want to make these exactly with the coconut flour and coconut oil then head on over to Cocofina.com and use my 15% discount code: bestfollowers. http://www.cocofina.com/store/


(Makes 6 cookies) 
Ingredients:

1/2 can chickpeas
5 dates, pitted, soaked 
2 tsp coconut flour (optional)
1/8 tsp cinammon 
1/8 tsp vanilla powder 
10g coconut oil 
4 pieces of dark chocolate, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius. In a bowl add the chickpeas and dates and mash together with a fork. Add the coconut flour, cinammon, vanilla and coconut oil and combine well. Then mix in the dark chocolate. Using your hands form 6 medium patty like cookies and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper or tin foil. Place in the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes until golden. Take out of the oven and allow to cool thoroughly so the coconut oil can set hardening the cookies. Then enjoy! 

These are such a great snack food on the go. Hope you make them!
