Healthy snacks (that isn't just plain fruit and/or veg) seem to be so hard to get right. Either they are full of sugar - so actually no good for you at all - or taste like nothing. I wonder if one day, someone somewhere will be able to make a good vegan snack bar. That … Continue reading M&S Raspberry and almond butter bar

Fuel 10k chunky chocolate protein granola
As with most healthy food, it seems that the only options are usually pretty disappointing. Granola is meant to be a great start for the day with slow released carbs to keep your energy levels up until lunch time. Downside is that most options contain honey, as without something sweet it is like chewing cardboard. … Continue reading Fuel 10k chunky chocolate protein granola
Violife coco spread
One of the biggest issues for a new vegan is the never ending hunt for vegan nutella. It obviously goes without saying that nutella is one of the best inventions of the world, yet unfortunately a vegan version is yet to be made. That being said, I am always on the look out for a … Continue reading Violife coco spread
In the Mood Cafe: Passionfruit cake
This little cafe is located around the corner from where I work, and yet every time I go past it, it is either absolutely rammed busy or closed. They are a completely vegan cafe, serving cakes, drinks and various hot meals which I believe are changed seasonally. When I visited they had some curry dishes … Continue reading In the Mood Cafe: Passionfruit cake
Plant Kitchen marshmallows
I have heard good things about these but my local store never seemed to ever stock these. So naturally when I finally found a packet I nearly knocked over three old ladies to grab them first. Not even sorry. These are exactly how I remember marshmallows being: soft and light and fluffy, while also being … Continue reading Plant Kitchen marshmallows
Couch to 5k programme
I used to run all the time and I used to really enjoy it. But about 3 years ago it started to be more of a habit than an actual hobby. I was going to the gym to run for 25 minutes, purely so I could say that I had been for a run. My … Continue reading Couch to 5k programme
Wicked Garlic and Herb kebabs
Wicked kitchen are slowly going up in my estimations. Normally the only food they had on offer were spiced to within an inch of their life, so all you could taste in any meal was chilli. But this range - the options for kebabs - prove that you do not need a ton of spicy … Continue reading Wicked Garlic and Herb kebabs
Lush’s Twilight bath bomb
A week ago I found myself in self-isolation. My NHS COVID app told me that I needed to self isolate for 5 days, on Sunday night. Therefore for 5 days I had to stay in my house and not go anywhere. At all. I couldn't even go outside. Which meant that my lovely partner had … Continue reading Lush’s Twilight bath bomb
Raw Bake station vanilla choc chic cookies
I found these in my cupboard and realised that I had missed them from a variety box of goodies that I got about a month ago! That sounds so unlike me, doesn't it? Now I am not usually a big fan of 'raw' treats - I'd rather just eat fruit as a 'raw snack' than … Continue reading Raw Bake station vanilla choc chic cookies
McDonald’s vegan burger
I know I know...McDonald's is terrible. But sometimes it is the only option available to you, especially when you need something quick and cheap. There is also a McDonald's every 200 metres in most places so it seems that they will always be available. This is also the first McDonald's I have had in...years. Literal … Continue reading McDonald’s vegan burger
