Recipe: Cashew Milk & Smoothies

I’ve been drinking nut milks for a year or two now, but I’d never gotten around to making my own. I decided that it was time to rectify this by making my first ever batch of cashew milk, and let me tell you I’m very sad I hadn’t tried it earlier – not only was it super simple to make but oh boy was it delicious. So so creamy.

Recipe: Strawberry & Coconut Spelt Muffins

I haven’t done much baking in recent times but when I got an itch to make some muffins I decided to at least try and make them a little on the healthier side. These babies are dairy free and use wholemeal spelt flour so are a bit more dense than those giant muffins you might find in a cafe. They’re super easy to throw together and you don’t even need to pull out the beaters – less washing up is always a plus in my books!

Kiwifruit Smoothies

The other weekend I came across some rather ripe kiwifruit hiding out in the bottom of my fruit bowl and realised drastic action was needed to ensure they didn’t go to waste. I thought about making a cheesecake or pavlova to use them all on, but given I wasn’t planning on doing any entertaining that weekend (and definitely didn’t need to eat a whole cheesecake myself!) I thought that probably wasn’t the best idea. So, I decided I would use them as the basis of my smoothies for the next few days and see what flavour combos I could come up with!

Spring Smoothies

Now that the weather has started warming up I’ve started having smoothies for breakfast again and I’ve been trying all kinds of flavour combinations. I thought I would share some of my new discoveries and favourite combos with you in case you were looking for some smoothie inspiration too!

Recipe: Banana Raspberry Bread

Living with 3 housemates can sometimes make it difficult to keep track of all the food in our fridge and freezer. We each have a section of our pantry and also share staples like spices, oils and sauces but given the small size of particularly our freezer sometimes things can disappear into the depths and be forgotten about. We recently did a huge clean out and discovered a rather large stash of bananas in the freezer (which I’ve been working my way through in smoothies!) so when I ended up with some overripe bananas I knew I couldn’t add them to the freezer pile so decided banana bread was required instead!

I usually make banana walnut bread in these situations but decided to mix things up a bit, and thanks to discovering additional raspberries in the freezer decided this was the go instead. I’m very glad I did as it was delicious – moist and sweet from the bananas with a nice tart bite from the raspberries. Perfect with a cup of tea and a flick through the newspaper!
