Easy Vegan | Gift Guide 2017

Hey guys,

Christmas is nearly upon us which means it's time for the final post in my Gift Guide 2017 series!! As most of you guys already know, I'm a dairy free vegetarian, and with that I try to incorporate as much Vegan food into my diet as possible. I've spent a lot of time trawling the aisles in shops trying to find vegan-friendly treats and snacks, and searching online for the best cruelty free and vegan friendly brands! For that reason I thought it might be fun to do an exclusively Vegan gift guide, to help you with some inspiration for that vegan friend or family member of yours. (FYI this isn't me saying you should only buy these items for Vegans.. no no, anyone would love these prezzies!)

Drink Your Greens! | Ocha Matcha*

Hey internet friends,

The lovely people over at Ocha Matcha kindly reached out to me recently about trying some of their matcha powder. If you've been reading my blog for a while its pretty likely you'll know how much of a tea fiend I am. (I've done a previous post on a few of my favourite teas which you can read here.) I'm also massively into herbal remedies for general health and wellbeing, so I've been on the matcha bandwagon for a long time! Anywaaaaaay, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to show you guys a few of my favourite ways to incorporate matcha into my diet, so if this post sounds like your cup of (green) tea, then keep on reading!

Easy Vegan | Junk Food

Hey guys and gals,

A few months ago I did a post on some yummy Vegan breakfast options as part of a series I've called 'Easy Vegan', to show you all how easy and accessible a plant-based diet can be. I've since had several requests to do another post, and so, well here it is! Now contrary to popular belief, Vegan's don't munch purely on leaves for lunch and bananas for pudding - else I would have given up at this a looooong time ago. There are actually a lot of rather tasty snacks on the market that haven't been anywhere near any animals, I promise!

First things first, I'm not saying any of these things are healthy, I'm just saying they are vegan, and hella delicious. Now lets continue...

Easy Vegan | Breakfast

Hey cuties!

I went completely Vegan for the month of February, (and loved it by the way), but the number one question people were asking me throughout was 'Isn't it really hard to be Vegan?' Short answer: Not really! It just takes a well stocked fridge and a bit of preparation. I decided it would be fun to do a little series on my blog called Easy Vegan, with simple meal ideas and recipes for people that needed some food inspo. First up is Breakfast.

So before I begin, I just wanted to put a little disclaimer out there. I'm not 100% Vegan yet, I'm probably Vegan for 4-5 days of the week, and Vegetarian for the rest of the time. I personally find that this diet works the best for my body, and definitely my complexion, and Veganism is obviously the most humane and animal friendly diet. But if you, (yes you reading this) are a meat eater, pescatarian, veggie, celiac, or space monkey; that's completely fine. Meaning;

Don't judge me and I wont judge you.

Now lets Brunch!
