Good morning Little ones! Long time so see on the vegan recipes! I'm back in action and creating so much more! It's autumn, and what's better to eat this time of year than steamy mash potato. Normally I would have gem-potatoes, simply because that's all I've ever had. I've never actually tried sweet potato mash; which shocks me as I love sweet potato.
Enough rambling, if you want to make this concoction then follow the simple instructions down below:).

Ingredients:

  • 3 sweet potatoes;
  • vegan cream (Alpro);
  • 1 birds-eye chilli-VERY HOT be warned;
  • 2 spring onions;
  • 2 carrots.

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

  1. Prepare you vegetables: peel the carrots and potatoes. Chop the carrots into fine chunks and place them into a large pan, do the same with the sweet potato.
    Dice the chilli and spring onion and put to one side;
  2. Put 2lts of water into the kettle and wait until boiled. Once boiled pour the water into the large pan, in which the carrots and potatoes are;
  3. Leave to cook for 20 minutes (until soft);
  4. When the carrots and potatoes are done mash them with a folk until fully combined. 
  5. Add the Alpro cream and stir together. Once combined add the chilli and spring onion and stir again.
  6. Plate up and ENJOY! :D 

WHY THESE INGREDIENTS? 

Spring onion:
Onions are a great antioxidant, they also contain low fat saturation, this won't clog up your arteries, as it reduces cholesterol, in comparison to a normal red or green onion, this is so much better for your mental and physical health.

Carrots:
This root vegetable is also a good source of antioxidant agents. Which simply means that they are detoxing your body, and making sure that bad bacteria stays away.

Sweet potato:

Sweet potato is enriched with beta-carotene. In the body, beta-carotene converts into vitamin A (retinol). We need vitamin A for good vision and eye health, for a strong immune system, and for healthy skin and 

This is now the end of the blog post! I hope you enjoy this tasty snack/meal. Eat it with whatever you want, I love it alone as an afternoon stack; especially when it's cold outside. I can place this into a bowl, get all snuggled in bed and eat :).
I hope you are all happy and healthy, I'm going out to London again today, and also getting my hair dyed! I can't wait to show you! Stay tuned and stay safe Little ones! I love you! x x x

  • golden syrup (optional).

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

  1. Put the hob on a low setting (gas mark 2) and leave a pan there to warm up;
  2.  sift the flour into a bowl and add a sprinkle of salt, stir the two together until combined;
  3. pour in the almond milk and stir, when it's nearly come together add the oil; mix until it's thick and stringy;

Apricots are filled with vitamins A and C. Vitamins C is fantastic for the skin, it's proven to reduce wrinkles for tightening the skin, as well as making it smooth and refreshing; this is the main ingredients they put in all skincare brands. Whereas vitamin A plays a vital role in bone growth, reproduction and immune system health.

Good morning my lovely's! How was your night sleep? I have already watered my flowers, and I'm going to be buying a new addition to the family later on; I will let you guys know all about it :).
In regards to this blog post I made it at the top of my head ... And I can't believe it worked! I was pondering on what I could have for breakfast, and then I thought I have this this and this; why not throw it together? I did and it worked! 
If you want to know how to make this concoction, have a gander below :) 

If you want to see another vegan recipe, click here!









Ingredients for base:

  • 1 cup branflakes;
  • 1 cup oats;
  • 1 cup almond milk.

Ingredients for filling and base:

  • 50 grams of your yogurt of choice, I chose Alpro berry yogurt;
  • 25 grams of green and red grapes;
  • 4 blackberries;
  • 10 grams blueberries;
  • 1 cherry.

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

  1. Put the branflakes and oats into a bowl, and crush with your hands; 
  2. add the almond milk and stir until combined, put the mixture at the bottom of the tin and press down with a folk;
  3. add into the tin of your choice. I used a small cake tin as I wanted a thick base;
  4. spread the yogurt on top of the base; 
  5. place your fruits on top of the yogurt; you don't have to make it fancy I just wanted it to look pretty;
  6. put in the fridge for 30-45 minutes; 
  7. cut your slice, drizzle golden syrup (optional) and ENJOY! :D 

Why these ingredients:

Almond milk:
Almond milk is filled with potassium, this helps prepare and enhance: cells, tissue and organs in the human body. This is essential in everyday life, you always need to repair yourself.

Blueberries:

The blueberry's fiber, potassium, folate, and vitamin C coupled with its lack of cholesterol, all support heart health. The fiber in blueberries helps lower the total amount of cholesterol in the blood and decrease the risk of heart disease this is perfect if heart disease runs in the family.

Blackberries:

Much like spinach, raisins, apples, plums and grapes, blackberries are rich in bioflavonoids and Vitamin C. This is perfect for the skin, it replaces new cells, as well as keeping the skin firm and soft.  


Strawberries:


A strawberry is an excellent antioxidant, this means that they are the first call when it comes to fighting diseases in the body; they also prevent causing other damage to other cells. Strawberries also donate electrons to unstable free radicals. This means that they don't have to take electrons from innocent cells.

Grapes:

Grapes contain powerful antioxidants known as polyphenols, which may slow or prevent many types of cancer, including esophageal, lung and mouth. Antioxidants fight infections and improve your immune system. They are also super tasty and replace all the naughty treats. 

Cherries:

Cherries contain powerful antioxidants like anthocyanins and cyanidin, these components build the immune system, and also detox your body from any unwanted bacteria, as well as making your healthier.

I hope you enjoy this recipe, it was my own creation and it actually worked out! I still can't believe that this actually worked and tastes amazing! Thank you again for reading this post, I would love to see your recreations of this recipe! 

Please tell me what you think, and give me suggestions of what you would like me to make in the future. 
I will see you again later on today with a gardening update, I'm adding a new addition to the flower family :).
If you want to see what else I have been up to today, or follow me around follow my social media platform below this post. I will follow you back and we can have a conversation about our common interests :).
I love you all so very much! Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones! :) x x x

GOOD MORNING! I've had a great couple of days talking to some of you! My Twitter has been blowing up, I'm so delighted and overwhelmed with joy that you are taking time out of your day to not only read my posts; but to talk to me as well! I know today is meant to be my day off; but I couldn't not share this!

  • 100 ml almond milk;
  • 10 grams blueberries;
  • 10 grams blackberries;
  • 2tbs olive oil
  • salt;
  • golden syrup (optional).

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

  1. Put your pan on a low heat (setting 2-3); this ensures that when you've made the batter the pan would heat up enough. You don't want a high setting as it will burn the surface and leave the inside raw;

  3. pour in the almond milk and mixed till combined;
  4. add the oil and mix until the mixture is elastic; 
  5. add the blackberries and blueberries, take a fork and crush them into the mixture; this method ensures that you will have tiny blueberry and blackberry pieces in your pancake;
  6. spoon in a small or large amount of mixture (depends how big you want your pancakes); and place them into the center of the pan;
  7. put a tiny amount of oil on the pan before hand, don't want them to stick;
  8. cook one side for two minutes, flip over and cook the other side for two minutes;
  9. repeat this process until you have no mixture left;
  10. put your extra toppings on the side, this would be the extra fruit and golden syrup for me;
  11. ENJOY! :D
