Hazelnut Twix Bars

Hazelnut Vegan Homemade Twix Bars that taste as good as they look and sound. These are dairy-free, gluten-free and refined-sugar-free! When it comes to sweet treats like this, I’m always going to be an advocate of balance and not making them a routine thing. I also recommend enjoying these straight after a savoury meal with plenty of protein in, as they will be digested with that meal and this will help to reduce any spike in blood sugar levels afterwards. There are still multiple health benefits to the natural ingredients in these so I will always recommend homemade over shop-bought processed foods.

Roasted Vegetable and Beluga Lentil Salad

This roasted vegetable and beluga lentil salad is such a simple recipe and it’s also deliciously nutritious. It’s got a Mediterranean feel but with North African seasoning to mix things up. Black beluga lentils are my favourite variety of pulses. They’re quick to cook and don’t go mushy like some others. They contain a good amount of plant protein, fibre and a number of minerals including calcium, potassium, magnesium and a number of B vitamins.
