Spirulina is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that has a taste similar to matcha powder, like sweet grass. In my opinion, I think spirulina is delicious so I like to add a little more 1 tablespoon. The avocado makes this smoothie creamy and superfoods like kale and spinach are loaded with healthy nutrients.

Some people struggle to know what to do with tofu as it is can be very bland, but the trick is to add some bold flavors and it will soak them up. Use an extra firm tofu if you can. If it isn’t quite firm enough then you might need to press your tofu for a bit to remove any excess water. This goes fantastically with my Kale and Pomegranate Salad, but equally lovely as a snack on its own.

You only need a bowl and a kettle -and as the vegetables are just blanched or even just warmed almost all the nutrients are preserved. I used @cocofinacoconut Coconut Aminos along with dark miso. Have you tried Coconut Aminos? They are a great alternative to soya sauce. Here is the recipe but feel free to swap the veggies for whatever you happen to have. Coriander or parsley works great as an alternative to the celery leaves too.

If you have heard all the talk about Jackfruit but don’t know where to start then this recipe for baked sweet potatoes and BBQ Jackfruit is for you! I added in some beans for protein and red peppers for extra vitamins but if you want to make it really simple then leave those out and just use the Jackfruit. Be sure to buy tinned Jackfruit in water rather than the sweet variety that comes packed in syrup! I absolutely love sweet potatoes and they are a great slow-release carb for my marathon training at the moment, and the BBQ Jackfruit goes equally well in a wrap if you have any leftover.

Calling all chocolate lovers, you will not believe this dessert is vegan. The rich and creamy filling will melt and your mouth and the hard and crunchy crust holds the cake together.
