Apple oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies

These apple oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies are soft, chewy, healthy and tasty. Low in granulated sugar and made with oats, apple sauce and fresh cashew purée, they’re great as a mid-day snack or to boost your energy before going to the gym. For a decadent, yet nutritious treat, I’ve added dark chocolate (60-70 % cacao) chunks and teff […]

Turmeric, ginger, lemon and honey (or pure maple syrup for vegan) for sore throat. I’ve been sick with a viral infection for six days. I rarely call in sick and I got a medical certificat to stay home and not be at the workplace on Friday. It can get somewhat complicated here when we call in sick, but I can honestly say, that I’m not someone who abuses or takes advantage of the system. Anyhow, what prompted me to stay home was to avoid spreading what I had (and still have) and to stop taking analgesics /Ibuprofen so regularly just to mask the symptoms so that I can teach and face my classes. I just got fed up with all of it because it just isn’t fair for me or for those with whom I’m in contact with. For 2 days now, I’ve been resting at home, taking it slow and drinking/ sipping this beverage that has natural healing properties that help reduce those nasty symptoms. It’s now midday here and things are starting to lighten up for me. There’s a feeling of relief running through my veins. I plan to go out for a forest walk later today with husband John who just came back from a full week’s work abroad. If you are suffering from cold or flu symptoms, stop pushing yourself. I highly recommend lots of rest at home and this golden beverage! The recipe is up on my blog in my profile @healthcontinuum . Have a wonderful weekend and take care!

Blueberry smoothie. Blueberries are very high in antioxidants making them a key food in the fight against heart disease, cancer, diabetes and cognitive impairment. I refer to them as nature’s health bullets. This has got to be one of my favourite smoothies.

Moroccan red lentil soup. I had a day off from work and had all the ingredients necessary to make and feature this yummy recipe. After taking the picture and posting it up on my blog, what did I not include (type) among the list of ingredients? The red lentils. Hmmmmm... 🤔Something tells me that I need to relax and meditate 🧘‍♂️ in a very quiet place. At least I didn’t forget to add the lentils to the soup. 🙃The good news is that this soup is soooo delicious and a real picker upper (especially on a grey rainy day like today). Made with fragrant warm spices, herbs, veggies, lemon juice and a hint of mint, you don’t need to add any synthetic bouillon cubes in this recipe. It’s also easy to make and a complete healthy meal. The recipe is up on the blog and all good and ready if you want to make it! . . . #soup #redlentils #moroccanfood #redlentilsoup #vegan #vegetarianrecipes #plantbaseddiet #healthyfood #wholesomefoods #nutrition #healthyeating #healthandfitness #healthandwellness

Vegan teff pancakes. We had a slow start to the day today with pancakes for breakfast. Sunday is our day to take it easy. These beauties were still warm when I took the picture. I’ve been cooking with teff flour lately. What a great thing! Teff flour is very nutritious and I’ve written about it in my blog. Unfortunately, the Apple Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies 🍪 that I made with the flour got deleted on Instagram 🤨🧐today, but you can view the recipe in my blog - just go to the blog link in my profile. The pancake recipe will be up on the blog soon! . . . . #teff #tefflour #pancakesunday #pancakes #veganpancakes #veganrecipe #healthyfood #vegetarianrecipes #brunch #maplesyrup #breakfastideas #breakfast #plantbasedmeals #healthylifestyle #rawalmondmilk #pancakerecipe
