Strawberry Maca Smoothie

November 1, 2017 by Libby Bird Leave a Comment

Strawberry season! Yesss! The colour, the sweetness, the juiciness, the way they seem to sing alongside the slight saltiness of nut butter… This was one of those whimsical ‘throw it in the blender and see what happens’ recipes which quickly became a family favourite. The maca will keep you going, the chunky nuts will fill you up & the gorgeous rosy hue will put a smile on your dial….

Black-Eyed Bean Crackers

October 29, 2017 by Libby Bird Leave a Comment

Salty, crunchy, delicious! Making your own crackers is so rewarding – you can guarantee that the ingredients are coeliac-safe, they’re cheap & easy to make, plus you can easily personalise them: if cumin seeds aren’t your thing, simply swap them for a different flavour, like caraway or garlic granules. These protein-packed little numbers are crispy & more-ish….

Acai Berry Peanut Butter Bowl

October 26, 2017 by Libby Bird Leave a Comment

I’d never thought of adding peanut butter to an acai bowl, but when I saw a mouth-watering photo on Instagram, I knew I had to try it. And I’m so glad I did! It gives a wonderfully salty nutty note amidst the creamy sweetness of banana & berries, that I just love….

Blue Bounty Bites

Naturally vegan & gluten free, these taste better than the real thing – by dodging all those processed additives, the natural ingredients are allowed to truly shine….

Cute Cucumber Canapes

October 13, 2017 by Libby Bird Leave a Comment

This is a perfect everything-free platter idea for a shared meal. Colourful & bright, it ticks all those intolerance boxes – no dairy, nuts, eggs, grains or gluten – plus it’s light & fresh, which can be lovely alongside the more traditional shared-food fare. Hands up if you’ve been the only one proffering vegetables amidst a tide of wheat, dairy & sugar!…

Chunky Chickpea Curry

September 28, 2017 by Libby Bird 3 Comments

Quick to assemble, this is a deliciously chunky & nourishing one-pot-wonder. It’s also a fairly flexible recipe – if you’ve run out of chickpeas, try another tinned bean (in the photo, I’ve used chickpeas & organic adzukis) Once, I swapped the carrot for some cooked broccoli, since that was what needed eating in the fridge, and it was lovely. If you’ve got cooked veges ready to go, this curry can be whipped up pretty quickly….

Berry Cream Swirl Smoothie

September 12, 2017 by Libby Bird Leave a Comment

Velvety smooth & creamy, this is a satisfying swirl of a smoothie. While you can never go wrong with a banana berry smoothie, the added swish of cashews add creaminess, protein & a fruity intergalactic effect….

Lentil Olive ‘Bolognese’

Chunky, nourishing & packed with vegetables! Load up your favourite pasta with this savoury, satisfying, protein-rich, meat-free ‘sauce’. Traditionally, a bolognese is simmered for a long time, but by using tinned lentils, we can speed up the cooking time while retaining a hearty flavour profile….

Traffic Light Chia Puddings

August 19, 2017 by Libby Bird Leave a Comment

I hadn’t intended to make traffic light puddings, but then I realised I’d used red, orange & green…in that order… This makes two cute little breakfast puddings. I use coconut milk, because I love the depth of creaminess, but I also find the healthy fats satiate me more than just rice or almond milk. Feel free to use whatever fruit you have at hand. Chia pudding is wonderful with berries, banana, stewed apple. pear, grapes……

Chocolate Espresso Smoothie

This creamy, super-charged smoothie is a tribute to the letter C – chocolate, coffee, chia, coconut, cinnamon – and it’s a seriously decadent start to the morning….
