Greetings all! I hope everyone is having a great Monday – I’m currently sipping on some juice trying to recover from what was a truly horrific exam this morning. My fingers are blistered (I’m one of those people who really likes to write with conviction), I have a headache and am running on about 4…
Strawberry, Spinach and Avocado Salad
A couple of weeks ago, a close friend came to me asking for diet advice – In true college fashion, her busy study schedule meant she hadn’t been eating well. A few worrying symptoms plus doctor’s visits and blood tests indicated she had a couple of deficiencies, and she was ready to do something about…
WIAW: Spring Eats, Juice and Chickpeas
What? Posting two days in a row? I’m far too kind, I know. I kid, but in all seriousness I’ve had an extremely productive day of studying, freelance work, and working out (a bootcamp fitness class and yoga, thank you very much) so I’ve decided to round it all out with a short and sweet…
My “Detox”/Juice Fast: The Results
I will once again begin by apologising for my continued sporadic presence on the blog – but my final exams are but a week away and much of my time is spent trying to wrap my head around edge detection algorithms these days. Riveting, I know. Anyways, on to today’s topic (which I promise is…
Cumin Kissed Butternut Squash Hummus

Juice “Feasting”

Moving on, to a (possibly) more controversial matter: I’m currently on day 2 of my very first juice fast. I know various people have differing opinions with regards to juice fasting (or…
Cupcakes Gone Curry! Indian-Inspired Spinach, Chickpea-Almond Savoury Cupcakes
Inspiration strikes at the oddest of times. Last Friday I dragged my derriere out of bed at an ungodly hour to frost some incredible cupcakes for the roommate’s birthday. Four words: Chocolate-chip cookie dough stuffing (okay, maybe five). I couldn’t help but notice how the creamy cookie dough frosting resembled the lemon coriander hummus I’d made earlier…
Fresh Sweet Corn, Cherry Tomato and Avocado Salad
When I first started experimenting with a high-raw diet almost a year ago now – this salad quickly became one of my all-time favourites. It’s unbelievably simple, but the flavours and textures just meld together so well. The original recipe came from a forum post which I have since lost track of, but lucky for…
