Mango and Black Rice Salad
Here’s a very short and sweet recipe for my Sweet and Salty Mango and Black Rice Salad. I picked some black rice up when visiting The Refillery because it’s the only place I have seen it in Jozi!

It is quite a versatile sauce and is used to make hummus and baba ganoush, but it can also be used in some not so obvious ways – such as drizzled over ice cream, salad or a bowl of granola. Tahini is naturally vegan and gluten-free, tastes nutty and is dead simple to…

Kayla Itsines Peanut Butter Protein Cookies
Today’s recipe is for these Peanut Butter Protein Cookies, from the Kayla Itsines Cookbook. I modified the recipe slightly as I used Eat Naked Peanut Butter, which contains raw honey for sweetness, so I didn’t need as much sugar as the recipe calls for. But, before we jump into the recipe, I wanted to take a moment to let you know that it is my blogs 1 year birthday!
