The past few months I have been trying to focus more on my health and fitness. I'm running more and actually getting some decent numbers when it comes to my weight lifting. But a massive part of the fitness journey comes from the diet. You can run ultramarathons every weekend but if you eat like … Continue reading Squeaky Beam kick of tikka chicken pieces

Doughnut Time Gordon Jamsey
What a better way to start my New Year than a trip to Doughnut Time. It is easy to say that their doughnuts are - without any doubt - the best doughnuts on the market right now. At this point I must have tried most of their options so I definitely have the experience behind … Continue reading Doughnut Time Gordon Jamsey
Buttermilk caramel nougat bar
Following on from the Love Raw bar, I have been on the lookout for more vegan dupes of favourite chocolate bars. I have tried Buttermilk products before and I have always found them to be a solid and consistent brand. Their chocolate has been tasty and reasonably priced, but it doesn't do anything spectacular. Again, … Continue reading Buttermilk caramel nougat bar
PHD smart plant peanut butter and jelly protein bar
We had a big walking day the other day and in 30 degree heat (Celsius) it was not going to be an overly pleasant day. I therefore thought it best to bring some heavy duty snacks with me to keep me going throughout the day and thought that some protein bars would be a good … Continue reading PHD smart plant peanut butter and jelly protein bar
Itsu veggie sushi collection
Another joy of going into London is that I can finally go back to Itsu. If you've had a look through my blog you know that I am a big fan of sushi - it is simple and filling while being a light meal. I have tried a lot of sushi in my time but … Continue reading Itsu veggie sushi collection
Cadbury’s smooth chocolate plant bar
This is proof that veganism is truly taking off. Cadbury's - possibly the biggest chocolate maker in the world has released not one but TWO vegan chocolate bars. It is made with almond milk instead of dairy, and I believe the flavours are smooth chocolate and salted caramel. I naturally went with the plain chocolate … Continue reading Cadbury’s smooth chocolate plant bar
Tesco Free From choc orange bar
Guys I think I have found it...the vegan chocolate orange bar to beat all others. I am sure that we are all aware by now about my utter disappointment with Tesco, following their changing of the ingredients in their own brand chocolate bars to now contain milk. As such, I have not been able to … Continue reading Tesco Free From choc orange bar
Vegan Kit Kat
I finally found the motherload!! I have heard that these were a thing but had never been lucky enough to find one. The only reason I even got this one is because one of my lovely work colleagues got lucky at her local Sainsbury's. Apparently you should be able to find them in m,ost supermarkets, … Continue reading Vegan Kit Kat
M&S Raspberry and almond butter bar
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
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
