For three days in a row I have been enjoying my home made chocolate + coconut granola in various combinations but today I decided to mix it up with a smoothie. Please give a warm welcome to Banana + Peanut Butter Smoothie.
This is such a warm, wholesome and filling breakfast smoothie option. Make sure to only use brown and spotty bananas as these will give you plenty of natural sweetness. If you feel that the smoothie is too liquid and you prefer a thicker smoothie just let it sit for 5 minutes and the oats will work their magic.
Enjoy!

Here we have an AMAZING recipe for oil and sugar free granola. Seriously this is amazing … maybe even life changing. This is an adapted version from what Jenny Mustard had done; for the original click here. This granola has such warm flavours especially from the tahini and dates. Seeing as we have so many date choices in the UAE this would be a fantastic recipe to customise solely based on the dates you like. Enjoy!

I have noticed that at work I usually get hungry again at 2 or 3pm and start to crave a snack. Generally I power through it and remind myself that I have eaten lunch but sometimes I cave and buy something. Sometimes that thing is a granola bar. Full of sugar and other nasties or preservatives it is better to make your own. Here is a quick and easy recipe full of oats, nuts, seeds and dried fruit.

Spicy Strawberry Salsa is so delicious and perfect for the hot Dubai (and Okanagan) summer. This is best made a couple hours before to let the flavours really blend. If you are not a fan of spicy peppers then you can substitute half a yellow or orange bell pepper or just omit.

Dutch style pancakes for the win … especially when someone else is making them. Do you have a favourite pancake recipe or do you prefer crepes or fluffy American style pancakes? Read on below for the dairy free option to Dutch style pancakes. Slightly thicker than crepes but not as fluffy as the American pancakes I love these as they can filled and then rolled up. Enjoy!

Oh hummus. I ❤ hummus. It is my favourite savoury snack. It is delicious, nutritious and so quick and easy to make on your own. Did you know that “Hummus” comes from the Arabic word meaning “chickpeas”? Though the exact origins of hummus can be debated for days there is no denying that it is a well known part of Levantine cuisine. Regional variations are present but below I have created a very simple hummus for you which is the standard for what you will find in grocery stores and restaurants. But better, because you know, you made it.

Dinner inspiration part 2: now you can see where the baked salmon and quinoa come into play; a healthy, filling and colourful salad. Perfect for the Dubai summer. Recipes like this also allow you to have leftovers that are not the same as the day before. Enjoy getting creative in the kitchen and don’t make leftover a bore.

South Beach, Atkins, Paleo, Keto, that weird maple syrup, lemon and cayenne pepper drink diet all seem to make their rounds. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center defines a fad diet as:
“A fad diet is a diet that promises quick weight loss through what is usually an unhealthy and unbalanced diet.
Fad diets are targeted at people who want to lose weight quickly without exercise.
Some fad diets claim that they make you lose fat, but it’s really water weight you’re losing.
Fad diets that are restricted to certain foods may work, but most are boring or unappealing. This can make them difficult to follow on a long-term basis. And some fad diets can actually be harmful to your health.”
