Oven roasted eggplant (oil-free)

Oven roasted eggplant (oil-free)

My Oven Roasted Eggplant (oil-free) recipe is the easiest and most creamy I have tried. I usually pair it with baked sweet potatoes, hummus, tahini dressing and some soy yoghurt – and of course some lovely chili flakes to spice it up. Pair it with 

Celery Juice

Celery Juice

Freshly pressed celery juice – I would not say, I love it, but I like it. It feels very energising and has a somewhat stringent flavour that takes a few times to get used to. Usually, I would add some lemon or ginger, but it 

Creamy hummus (oil-free)

Creamy hummus (oil-free)

Hummus is one of my favourite things to eat. It is super easy to make and you can have it almost with anything! This hummus is oil-free, and it is still very fluffy and creamy. My tip is to make plenty as it is even better the day after.

TIP FOR COOKING CHICKPEAS

If you prefer to soak and cook your own chickpeas instead of buying them in cans, my tip is to add a tsp of baking soda whilst they are cooking. This will make the chickpeas even more soft as well as reduce the cooking time. In the end, it helps in getting the creamy consistency you get in the store bought hummus’ or the ones using loads of oil. Cooking chickpeas without baking soda, is great for a nice and warm one pot meal, where you want to have a little more texture to the contents of the soup, but to me at least, I simply love that creamy hummus texture.

I looove smoothies for brekky and this magical black currant smoothie is my new favourite reason to get up in the morning. It contains loads of veggies and you can’t even taste it plus black currants are full of vitamin C and antioxidants. It has the most vibrant and magical colour one can imagine, and it makes you wanna dive right into the bowl.
