Going on vegetable feast fortnight to kickstart my body back into health. So no dairy, no sugar - not even fruit and only stevia to sweeten sauces, no grains, no starchy foods.
Small (but delicious) amounts of red meat and nuts
Mostly tofu and fish
And loads of green juices, smoothies and salads. Any suggestions for salads to make?
Some lovin’ for yourself/friends/anyone. ‘Cause who doesn’t like food?
Get some freshly toasted coconut flakes with rose, pomegranate, fig + cocoa @ Kanga Events: Wellbeing this week £6/tub
- bring some cash ‘cause they are damn tasty!

Day #2 of juice cleanse - cheating with a ton of nut and seed milks** ‘cos we need something to look forward to, other than a bit of colon cleansing (TMI? Sorry!).
I’m sure y’all know how to make it so I won’t bore you***, other than adding that chai spices taste really good, as do cinnamon and Himalayan salt. Also, sunflower seed and pumpkin seed milks are awesome, economic alternatives to almond milk, and I think I’m gonna have a go at walnut milk next, just for fun. What are your favourite flavours?
*Photo: caramelised garlic hemp almonds made by yours truly, with brazil nuts and walnuts in the background.
**It’s milk. M-I-L-K. I don’t get this ‘mylk’ business. Milk is milk.
***Don’t? Watch this video by the gorgeous Sarah Britton of My New Roots. I like a ratio of 1 portion nuts: 3 portion water + a smidgen of salt + cinnamon.
Earthy, slightly sweet roasted cauliflower soup mixed with a tangy dressing with aniseed undertones and a spike of black pepper. Healthy never tasted so good.
Here’s what I did the cauliflower greens:
tossed with oregano, thyme and plenty of coconut oil.
Heidi Swanson’s saag paneer, minus the paneer. So just, um, saag? Or curry-flavoured creamed spinach…
Cheese was overrated anyway. Black sesame seeds for the win. (And coconut yoghurt!)
