1 Minute Muffin


I'm really not a fan of microwaves however I had to give this 1 minute muffin a try..

I also hate wasting things so I used the left over almond pulp from my homemade almond milk (in previous post) to make a healthy banana coconut muffin! 

Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup almond meal or the pulp if you've made the almond milk 
- 1 egg
- 1/2 banana
- 1-2 tablespoons desiccated coconut 
- 1 tbs vanilla essence
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon 
-1/2 tsp baking powder

- drizzle olive oil
- drizzle maple syrup

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and put in the microwave for 1 minute, top with cinnamon, a bit of maple syrup and fresh banana. 

This recipe is quite versatile so try it with berries, dates, nuts, cacao, chia seeds, gogi berries.. :)







DIY Almond Milk

I made my own almond milk today and it was so easy and delicious! This is a great option for those of you that are lactose intolerant and it doesn't have any other additives that a lot of the commercial almond milks have. 

1. Soak 2 cups of unsalted almonds in purified water overnight

2. Drain the almonds and place in a blender with 4 cups of purified water
3. Blend on high for about a minute, until its quite fluffy
4. Drain liquid with a nut milk bag (from health food shop) into a bowl by squeezing the nut bag. This is the vegan version of milking a cow, you'll see what I'm talking about when you give it a go. 

Enjoy your homemade milk! It should last up to 3 days. 


Ps if you want to be really cool, you can add vanilla essence, cinnamon or a sweetner of your choice (raw honey, organic maple syrup, stevia).  





Qi Organic Green Tea Detox

In love with this tea! It puts a little twist on the pure green tea by including many detoxing herbs such as dandelion root, milk thistle, peppermint leaf, licorice, ginger and fennel seeds. Don't let these (lovely) herbs turn you off, you can't even taste them! The tea includes natural lemon and orange so it has a refreshing citrus flavour. You can even get it from commercial supermarkets.
