Mango and Coconut Chia Pudding
Today’s recipe is a very simple Mango and Coconut Chia Pudding that you can eat for breakfast or as a midday snack. This Mango & Coconut Chia Pudding is healthy and easy to make and is loaded with sweet mango flavour. You only need a handful of ingredients and a bowl and I have adapted it for you in case you don’t have a blender. Mango and Coconut Chia Pudding I generally make chia pudding with almond milk, but I think coconut and mango go very well together in this recipe. In fact, the combination of flavours and the texture of the chia pudding remind me of a Mango,…

No Churn, Creamy Watermelon Sorbet
This recipe for No Churn, Creamy Watermelon Sorbet is so simple, I am almost embarrassed to post it! 😁 It’s watermelon season at the moment in South Africa and what better way to use that huge watermelon taking up space in your fridge than with an icy cool sorbet?

Healthy Three-Course Valentine’s Dinner
Today’s post is my how-to guide for creating a Healthy Three-Course Valentine’s Dinner … Either you hate it or you love it – but February is here – aka the month of love. I have never really been the biggest fan of Valentine’s Day, mostly because I think it is far to commercialised.

Which brings me to this dinner. Eat at…

4 Ingredient Lemon and Basil Granita
Today’s recipe is a very simple 4 Ingredient Lemon and Basil Granita. As temperatures continue to climb, I naturally reach for colder treats and granita is one delight that ticks all the refreshment boxes for me. Cold, icy, crunchy and fruity. What I like about this 4 Ingredient Lemon & Basil Granita is that it is lower in calories, dairy-free and vegan. This icy concoction was invented in Sicilia, Italy’s southernmost region, which is a very dry and hot – so granita is a go-to treat. 😎 It is made from fresh fruit and water, mixed together and frozen until icy. It is then flaked with a fork and frozen…
