I think that nice-cream is one of the best parts about being vegan and for some reason non-vegans just don’t get told about the joy of dessert for breakfast until they join the club
Here is my recipe which does include healthy fats (cue audible gasp from the hclf vegans )
3 overripe frozen bananas
1-2 tsp vanilla extract
2- tbs- ¼ cup plant milk (I used almond) add a little at a time just to loosen the mix in the blender
1-3 tbsp peanut butter ( I think you could use pb2 but I haven’t tried. Remember that some healthy plant fat in your diet is good for you and this boosts the protein for those who worry about that kinda thing.
Stick everything in the blender and whizz until smooth and delicious
I like to top with milled flaxseed to get those good ol’ omega 3s
I have a cup of coffee strictly for the B12 in the almond milk of course

Fun fact: I like to eat bell peppers as though they were apples please tell me I’m not alone
Day 4.
Well this day is really divided into two halves, bb and ab (before biscoff/ after biscoff ) definitely in recovery from all that junk so lots of nice simple stuff to eat today. I even used my precious mangosteen ( £2.50 for only 3). Mangosteen one of my favourite fruit not just because they look like they’re straight out of a video game and the name sounds like they should be a partner in a law firm but also because they are super, super delicious ( think a really flavourful lychee but slightly more tart)
I also forgot to take pictures of most of my water today but figured it wasn’t too big of a deal as you all no what it will look like
I have been thinking of taking a break from bread for a little while as I feel like I often just eat toast and it’s somewhat limiting the variety in my diet (cos I’m super lazy and toast is bomb haha). What do you guys think?

I just finished making these peppermint sparkle bombs filled with all the juicy things like dates, cacao, @loving_earth lucuma, cinnamon and coconut and covered in blackberry powder from @thestaplestore and edible sparkles for my friends 40th. So excited to pop them!
Makes anywhere from 6-10 depending on size of bombs
1 kg dried dates
2 drops food grade peppermint oil
2 cups rolled oats/ can use puffed amaranth/quinoa flakes for GF opt.
¾ c cacao - to taste
1 cup coco flakes
4-5 tbs lucuma/maca OPTIONAL.
A GREAT LASHING OF CINNAMON <3
your favourite coloured food grade sparkles (from any good cake supply store)
Enough blackberry powder for rolling
SUPER EASY just process all ingredients bar oats or oat sub, taste and see if you love it - may need a little extra coco/cacao/cinnamon/love
Once satisfied, move to a large bowl, stir in oats.
begin to form the bombs, you may need to wet your hands a little to keep them from sticking to you….
leave to sit for about 10 minutes in an air tight container in the refrigerator, you dont want them to go moist or else the BB powder will absorb into the ball.
take your BB powder and pour onto a board or plate, and the sparkles on another.
test the bombies, and then GETT ROLLIN! ^___^
you know what to do from here I’m sure.
ENJOY! please let me know if you make these and what you think how they were shared. All love!

So, universe provides hilarious coincidences once again. I set up my camp at envision festival right up tight next to a bunch of fellow 801010ers!!! Fully provided with all the fruity hookups you could possibly dream of for a week long festival. Piles and piles of coconuts, mangos, papayas… This breakfast was after a much needed sleep in from a long night of dancing. Papaya with mango, mixed leafy greens and herbs with ginger and cinnamon. Mm PURA VIDA! ✨☀️

Stringing together herbs while sipping on a delicious nettle and @loving_earth maca green smoothie. nettle grows in many places, and is so much more than an itchy weed. I picked some yesterday morning at the market, they’re so delicious inside a smoothie, and don’t worry, once blended up they lose their sting
Nettle is taken as a blood purifier, as a tea it helps to cure mucus congestion, skin irritations, water retention and diarrhoea. The beverage is also said to help nursing mothers produce milk and it also stimulates the digestive glands of the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas and gall bladder.
Nettle juice will even ease the stinging of the rash brought about from contact with the plants own bristled leaves! ✨
The seeds are super easy to spread, just keep the very tops of the stems and spread them over your soil ！
