In one of my recent posts I mentioned that I had quit sugar with the help of this book. As I mentioned in that post I absolutely love this cookbook! So far everything I’ve made from it has turned out great and there’s still SO much more for me to get through!

The cookbook is actually divided into sections.

Breakfast Ideas.
Smoothies.
Sweet Stuff.
Savoury Snacks.
Sweet Treats.
Green + Clean Meals.
Sugar-Free Kids.
Sauces.
A Final Cup of Tea.

Each section has a myriad of recipes and on top of this there are handy tips and tricks throughout the book for sugar-free eating.

So yesterday I decided to make one of the recipes out of the ‘Savoury Snacks’ section and made the ‘Totally Nutty Parsnip Fries’ which involves parsnip and almond butter and came out DELICIOUS! [Read more…]

I just made this smoothie – Actually I’m drinking it while typing this post.

It’s been a while since I made a Green Smoothie, notice how I left the green part out of the title (aka the spinach). I didn’t want to scare you away with the word spinach, although you can’t taste it at all, it just gives the smoothie its pretty green colour. 🙂

Almond Banana Smoothie

Ingredients:

Handful of banana (I used frozen banana pieces that I had in the freezer).
Handful of spinach (you can use frozen or fresh).
1.5 cups almond milk (or milk of your choice).
5 dates (I used medjool – make sure you pit).
1 tsp cinnamon.
1 tsp vanilla extract.
1 Tbsp chia seeds.

Method:

Place all ingredients into a high powered blender, starting off with the milk and blend!

There’s something about green smoothies – They really give you a big hit of energy just when you need it!
