🤎❤️🤍 Layered Choc Strawberry Chia Pudding Without the Wait 🤎❤️🤍

With the warm spring weather here, I find myself leaning away from my cooked keto porridge I ate on repeat all winter and feeling more like a chia pudding. One of my favourites I’ve made today with a couple of tricks, you can get rid of that 3+ hour wait you normally need for a chia pudding to thicken and you can make it for breakfast that day. This is going to be a layered chocolate vanilla chia pudding that I’m adding some strawberries too, but you can also mix it up and d

Nuts & Seeds Cookies

Let’s try another recipe that has been all over my YouTube fyp recently, stating “I don't eat sugar! Healthy cookies without flour or sugar! Energy dessert recipe!” Looking at the ingredients, they are basically a bunch of mixed nuts & seeds held together with a bit of honey. And some are dipped in dark chocolate. So what’s not to like about that? (Unless you don’t eat honey - then try this with your favourite sticky sweetener instead). After trying them out, I have to say, t

🍋🍮 No-Bake Strawberry Lemon Cheesecake | Gluten Free Raw Vegan

Deliciously fresh, raw style vegan cheesecake. This one is cashew based - but you can totally sub macadamia nuts instead though it will slightly change the flavour. We kept it simple (we did experiment with adding coconut oil, cocao butter, and agar agar to the filling to help it set up firmer, but in the end we preferred the taste & texture of the original/simpler recipe) and it still sets well & holds its shape in the fridge. We love the extra pop of freshness that lemon ze
