3 Superfood Packed Easy Smoothie Recipes

Homemade smoothies make an amazing breakfast or a quick snack full of vitamins, minerals and other goodness. They're quick and easy to make and they taste amazing. With autumn aka cold and flu season swiftly on its way introducing smoothies into your daily diet is one of the easiest ways to boost your immune system. It's easy to pack an extra punch of superfood goodness into smoothies by adding some seeds and powders.

Below are my 3 favourite recipes:

Blueberry and Raspberry Breakfast Bowl

Egg and Chorizo Breakfast Skillet Recipe (Gluten Free)

I’ll start this blog post by going straight to the point: this egg and chorizo breakfast skillet recipe is absolutely delicious. I love having eggs for breakfast but they can get a little boring and this recipe really spices things up. It’s healthy, it’s very flavoursome and very easy to make.

Gluten Free Matcha Green Tea Banana Bread Recipe

This flavoursome Matcha Green Tea Banana bread is perfect for quick breakfast on the go or as a delicious and nutritious 'pick me up' snack during the day. The best thing about this banana bread is that even though it's healthy it still tastes like a sweet, moreish treat.

Raw Chocolate Bark

Christmas is a time for spending time with your most loved ones and eating chocolate. Lots and lots of chooclate. When January comes around it's easy to feel a little heavier and very sluggish after consuming ones weight in chocolate.
Fortunately I have come up with a simple and delicious raw chocolate bark recipe which is a much healthier alternative to milk chocolate. It has a very smooth dark chocolate top with a moist and slightly crunchy texture underneath thanks to the coconut sugar.

Raw Flourless Chocolate Torte (Paleo, Gluten Free, Vegan)

 Raw Flourless Chocolate Torte (Paleo, Vegan, Gluten Free) 

I've been trying to experiment with more healthy, natural foods. I started researching something called 'clean eating' which essentially means simple unrefined, unprocessed whole foods and cutting out sugar. However, I have to be honest previous to this I had never made a no bake torte or cake before so the concept is rather new to me. This torte has lived up to my expectations and was actually easier to make than anything I've previously baked. No flour, no refined sugar, no bake, no dairy just whole lot of chocolatey goodness.

Healthier Potato Lasagne, Gluten Free Recipe

I think Lasagne is a really comforting delicious meal, however it's definitely not the healthiest and unfortunately for me also full of my mortal enemy gluten. Instead of forever bidding farewell to this creamy delicious meal I have come up with a tasty but healthier alternative made with potatoes.

The Grainary Farm Getaway & Gluten Free Sunday Roast Dinner

Living in the city is great, we have bars, restaurants and shops on our door step but the one thing I miss the most is nature. Fresh air, trees, and the sounds of birds chirping. Unfortunately the one thing that can make going away for the weekend a little more of a challenge is my gluten intolerance. When the Grainary farm got in touch with me about their gluten free Sunday roast dinner I just knew we had to pay them a visit!

Organic Vegan Superfood Breakfast

Can you believe that summer is over? I don't quite want to let go of sunshine filled summer evenings but as far as Autumn goes I think September is pretty nice. Although I like my trees very green, there is something magical about witnessing the leaves turn into the different shades of the sun slowly throughout the month. It also happens to be Organic September, a month in which I hope to eat and experiment with more organic ingredients!
First up I have come up with a breakfast combination that is absolutely mouth watering but also packed full of vitamins, antioxidants and other good stuff.

Taste Of Inn travel at Molton Cookery School

Food is one of my greatest loves in life. I love eating and I love cooking, so when the lovely team at Zeal invited me to an event organised by Inn travel I was over the moon! There's nothing I love more than exploring new recipes and it sounded like the perfect way to spend a sunday. We were going to be cooking european dishes paired with delicious wines and inspired by the destinations where Inn travel offer slow holidays. Incase you're wondering what slow holidays are, they are the type of holidays that allow you to relax and unwind whilst exploring beautiful locations.

Gluten Free Lemon Cream Cake Recipe and Magic Baking Tin Review

Cake makes life better. I think that's pretty much a fact. Unfortunately gluten is my mortal enemy and so I'm on a mission to bake delicious gluten free cakes. This one has made it onto my list of successs! What's even better is that I got to bake this cake in shape of a heart thanks to The Magic Baking Tin* which was very kindly sent to me for a review.

Organic Raw Vegan Chocolates Recipe

Chocolate is one of my weaknesses when it comes to healthy eating, I can give up burgers, fries and sweet without any problems but chocolate is a different story. I just love it! I'm currently trying to lose the holiday weight I gained whilst on our California road trip, but instead of giving chocolate up I decided to have a go at making my own healthy raw chocolate.

Health Benefits of Matcha Green Tea & Favourite Teas

Health Benefits of Matcha Green Tea

I heard about Matcha green tea a couple of years ago, it was the latest health trend which came around shortly after bulletproof coffee. Even though matcha green tea has only been widely available in the UK for a couple of years, drinking it is actually a very long standing tradition in Japanese culture.
So what is Matcha green tea I hear you ask. It's the finest quality green tea, which has been steamed and then ground into a very fine powder.

Gröstl Recipe - A Taste Of The Mountains

Winter is made for comfort food so when Branded3 invited me to try a recipe from 'Taste Of The Mountains' competition by Ski Total  I simply couldn't say no.
There were three dishes to choose from and I decided to go for Gröstl.
Gröstl is one of Austria's most popular dishes in the winter months. After trying it, I can really see why. It's easy to make, filling and absolutely delicious!

Sweet Freedom - Gluten Free Pancakes of Dreams

I have to say I have loved pancakes ever since I was a child. My mama often made them for breakfast and we'd have them with all sorts of different topping combinations including home made strawberry jam, sugar and soured cream, and chocolatte spread. Now, since I've become an adult two things have happened:

1. I developed a gluten intolerance
2. I swear I can put on a kilo just by sniffing pancakes never mind eating them

However, I've been determined to come up with a pancake recipe that was both Gluten AND Guilt free. I present to you the recipe for my best creation yet  - Sweet Freedom - Gluten Free Pancakes of Dreams 

Lithuanian Recipe - Tender Garlic Chicken with Mash and Carrot Slaw

When Wren Kitchens got in touch with me asking me to be part of the ‘Wren Family Favourites’ campaign I simply couldn't say no.
My mum is an amazing cook. She cooks all of the family meals from scratch every day, which are always bursting with flavour. Lithuanian cuisine is very diverse it's full of soups, stews and meat dishes. We're also very partial to pickled vegetables and herring. 

I've decided to share with you one of my very favourite chicken recipes which my mum has taught me. Chicken breasts can be pretty dry and bland, but this recipe is far from it!

Thai Chicken Noodle Soup

Ever since I visited Thailand I have fallen in love with Thai Food. It's aromatic and full of flavour. I've decided to experiment with some Thai Chicken soup recipes and have come with this mouth watering creation.
It's very quick and easy to make and it's Gluten Free.

Gluten Free Blueberry Cake

There's one thing you should know about me - I love cake. Although I eat really healthy about 90% of the time, I'm a sucker for fluffy, gooey, buttery cake and pastries.

Glorious Gluten Free Banana Pancakes

Pancake Tuesday used to be one of my favourite days of the year.

I can make sweet moreish pancakes as well as bad ass saliva inducing savoury crepes.

I used to love indulging in pancakes once in a while, but then I developed IBS. It seems that my body became sensitivity to gluten and the more I ignored it and kept eating pancakes, pizzas, breads and cakes the worse it has gotten.

If you, like me, have gluten intolerance or are just trying to cut out those empty carbs I have good news!

I've discovered a glorious super easy pancake recipe which I promise you will use again and again.

You know what the best part is? They're Healthy meaning that it can be Pancake Tuesday every Tuesday! Hooorah.

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Snack Bars

I get to a point every day where I feel like I need a snack. 

Usually somewhere in between breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner. I eat a lot of fruit throughout the day, but sometimes fruit just doesn't full the whole. Now that is the time when I start daydreaming about crisps. 

Or at least it was until I discovered the delicious, No Bake, Gluten Free (winner!), Vegan,  Peanut Butter Snack Bars.

Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animals (Pt 2)

Christmas has been and gone, but me and the boy were lucky to have two Christmasses this year!

One with his family in England and a postponed Christmas with my Lithuanian family in Northern Ireland.

My mum is an absolutely amazing cook. She always makes amazing food when I come which I can't find anywhere else.
