A little while ago someone commented and asked me what my favourite things are to snack on. I have been meaning to write a post on this and now today is the day.
I am definitely a snacker especially when I am out and don’t have time to pack a full on meal. I also like having 5 smaller meals a day because I find it easier to digest and I never reach a extreme hunger or what some like to call…
Happy February Everyone! Still trying to wrap my head around the idea that it is 2015, time flies!
So since my last blog post quite a lot has changed, for one I am no longer in Australia (long story). I left end of January and set off to Vancouver for a week to visit some friends and now I am in Florida for a couple weeks staying at my family home here. Florida is such a relaxing place and I…
Healthy af spaghetti bolognese for 2.
Sauce
1 medium carrot
1 stork of celery
1 small onion
1 tbs garlic (or more if you are a garlic lover like me)
1 can lentils or about 1 ½ cups soy mince
1 tbs dried Italian herbs
1 tbs tomato purè
1 can tinned tomatoes
2 tsps miso
(Optional)
1 tbs liquid amino (I use maggi liquid seasoning)
½ tbs chilli ( I used West Indian chilli sauce)
¼ cup red wine
Method
Dice onion, celery and carrot + mince garlic
Put onion + garlic in a nonstick saucepan with aprox 2 tbs of water
Sweat of onion and garlic until soft (if things start to stick just add a little more water)
Add in the carrot and celery and cook down until tender (again if things stick just add a little water)
Stick in your mince/ drained lentils and give a mix around
Put in all the other ingredients apart from the tinned tomatoes and mix
Add tinned tomatoes and mix thoroughly then turn heat down and simmer for 30mins-1hr stirring occasionally
I served it with buckwheat penne, steamed kale, ½ an avocado and some nutritional yeast

So it’s bank holiday and I am recovering from a day at a food fair in which I might have had more raspberry cider than is my usual want so an elegant brunch of spaghetti hoops on toast was in order

So I have made a giant vat of porridge to have this week. This is my favourite flavour which is oatmeal raisin cookie. I did enough for about 7 days or for a family of 4 for 3 days
Ingredients
6 cups plant milk ( it doesn’t really matter but I used almond milk
2 cups oats
1- 1 ½ raisins
3 tea spoons cinnamon
¼ ground ginger
1/8 tea spoon all slice
2-4 tea spoons vanilla extract
2-4 tablespoons stevia
1-4 tablespoons maple syrup
Method
Stick it all the ingredients apart from the stevia and syrup pot at the same time and bring to the boil the simmer on low until it’s your preferred consistency ( I like it slightly looser but I think that’s more a uk thing. If you rather a thicker consistency just reduce the liquid slightly and cook a little longer.
Stir it every so often and tip into a container
cool.
Ps. I have just finished watching land of hope and glory on YouTube and it was so informative and heart wrenching ✌

So Lidl has vegan options this week .
I went a bit mad…..
There is falafel, plain “chicken”, seasoned “chicken”, tofu, “mince” and a bunch of other stuff. All under £2 so cheaper than the usual suspects for uk peeps!
Post link
So there I was faffing about with my apple (as you do) and thought “hey this would be a good thing to do for people looking after bored kiddies this summer”
Apple “doughnuts” aren’t a new thing but never the less they would be such an easy way to pass time and encourage food interaction with the youngins’
Just core and slice a few apples and stick what ever decorations you want them to use and boom a fun interactive (sort of healthy) dessert

Sunday cake. I tried yet another chocolate covered Katie recipe but not gonna lie, this turned out a little disappointing. It may have a small amount to do with the fact I ( being ever observant) used buckwheat flour instead of spelt . I will now have to keep making carrot cakes until I am satisfied with the results haha. Bright side is its gluten free I guess!
Will keep you posted.

Day 4
Woke up at thee am after having a vivid dream about making juice but went back to sleep eventually
Breakfast: Had the same orange juice as yesterday but it was more enjoyable due to the nice sunshine ☀️ I should also point out that there is a litre jug full of juice just not pictured in all photos haha
Snack: a glass of fresh pineapple juice is soooooo good! This was not as nice as the other as that pineapple was just about to be in over ripe so tasted super sweet.
Had a check in with the ol’ doctorino and was recommended to nix the fasting and got back to regular eating so It looks like this is the end and I’m honestly not mad about it. I was doing it more out of curiosity about the mythical health benefits and my curiosity is cured.
While I think that fasting would be awesome for some people, it was one of the least fun things I have ever done . It was also a good job I didn’t start straight with a water fast as in hind sight that would probably have lasted about 4 hours haha
Here is the first thing I ate when I got home. I went to town on that mango while everyone else looked on in awe and mild disgust
So we will be back to regularly scheduled programming after 3 ½ days ✌.

Day 3
Woke up after sleeping well again, got hungry but was fine after hot lemon water
First juice of the day is carrot, sweet potato, belle pepper, orange, ginger and turmeric. A sunny drink for a dark rainy morning
For some reason everything tastes really salty today, I mean even my water any ideas why?
Not hungry but constantly catching myself perusing food on instagram and feeling profound jealousy
Lunch: red cabbage, apple, beetroot and celery. I love the colour of this but no matter what I shall never be a great lover of cabbage or beetroot (the exception being beetroot crisps of course )
Dinner: spinach, kale, cilantro, celery, green apple and lemon

Day 2
Once I went to sleep I had a good nights sleep which was good as I have recently been waking up after 3-4 hours
Went to make juice but the infernal contraption is broken.
Have contended myself with hot water and lemon and sucking on orang segments.
Got a message saying my new juicer will arrive between 10-11 am! Thank goodness for that!!!!
Used the new juicer to make a carrot, sweet potato, kale and collard green juice. Tasted fine. This new guy works 100x better than the old bit of tat!
Lunch today was a beetroot, red cabbage, apple, ginger and celery juice. It looked like a galaxy in the juice jug and didn’t taste too bad. I also added a little lemon juice.
“Snacks today have been hot water with lemon and sometimes ginger .
Dinner. A kale, broccoli, celery, spinach, cilantro apple and lemon juice. Like eating lawnmower clippings but hey, it must be good for me!
Dessert. Fresh pineapple juice . It speaks for its self really, the best thing ever.
I have had a headache all day which I guess is also party to do with lack of coffee. Still wanting food but I feel some what more hopeful that it will get better.
I will endeavour to actually take picture of the juices I drink tomorrow as I honestly could not me bothered today haha
Okay guys, after talking with my healthcare provider I have decided it would be best to do a week of juice, a week of water and another week for juice. And this is day one ☝️.
I low-key forgot I was on liquids when I woke up and found myself almost making toast at least three times.
After looking and purchasing juice cleans stuff online I nearly vomited like a cuttlefish ejecting ink out of rage hahah.
I promptly went and dug my distinctly subpar juicer that I used once then consigned to the tech graveyard that is the garage. Needless to say I have promptly ordered a newer model ( after my dad insisted on a thorough which.com search) and am eagerly awaiting its arrival.
I had a lovely time frolicking about the fruit and veg isle of the supermarket and was pleased that it only came to les than £25 for a good few days of juice.
Now that you have to prologue let’s get on to the main event
I will give a daily play by play of what ever thoughts pop into my head while doing this.
Day one: (I hope you said that in a geordie accent if you’re from the uk)
I am hungry and want toast but that is pretty much to be expected. As someone who leans more towards savoury food (especially really salty or spicy food )
Have been contemplating if hummus counts as a juice….it doesn’t does it?
Braved the apocalyptically loud juicer and made some carrot, orange and ginger juice and it was swell.
This juicer is a right “See you next Tuesday” to clean
Everyone is eating pizza….fuck um’
I have a collard green, celery, cilantro, green apple, lemon and ginger juice, it’s pretty sassy and tastes…healthy
Juice is not pizza…
I want soup and rice….
My noggin hurts and I could kill a ramen.
How can I have no coffee all day and still be awake.
Will I get a ASBO for noise pollution if I use my juicer at 0:00? Yes.. probably
Zzzzzz

So far I am Day 3 on the pink drink!
I wake up feeling tired as usual but once I get in the shower I am wide awake and ready to go! This is new for me…Normally I drag myself to work, regardless of how much sleep I get! I also feel more energetic at the end of the day.
Take tonight for example:
I worked all day 8-530.
I came home, made dinner, while cleaning up around the house. Threw in some laundry, paid bills, did 2 ½ hours of homework, folded the laundry and at 10:30 I am jumping into bed! Normally after work I am lucky to get ½ of that done!
Looking forward to getting my Plexus shipment with the rest of my stuff!!
