My inspiration for a healthy & bright 2015
Happy 2015! I hope you enjoyed a very merry festive season & managed to take some time to relax, unwind, reflect & set some intentions for an exciting year ahead? The Bowerhouse holidays looked a little like this…
1. Setting soulful goals with Danielle LaPorte’s ‘The Desire Map’ also pictured our ‘Lilya cutwork throw’ & Denim Shine cushion 2. G&Ts with Terrance on NYE 3. A gorgeous new Fiddle Leaf Fig plant (sitting on our Barrel side table) 4. Coconut & mango smoothie dessert (recipe below)
After the indulgence of festivities & our March wedding fast approaching, I have been experimenting with tasty, healthy recipes to share with you - all from my fave go-to food blogs to inspire healthy eating & ‘living bright’ in 2015!
The Wholesome Cook Zucchini pasta with coriander & cashew pesto - I am a huge pasta fan but in an effort to reduce gluten & up veggie intake I have found zucchini makes a surprisingly satisfying alternative - slice a whole zucchini very finely using a veggie peeler for ‘pappardelle’ style ribbons & toss for a few minutes in a pan with any kind of homemade pesto, spinach leaves & tinned tuna - delicious!
The Healthy Chef Gluten free zucchini fritters - Great for lunch topped with natural yoghurt & chilli flakes or with salad & a good drizzle of olive oil.
Sprouted Kitchen peanut butter bites - These delightful treats had me at ‘peanut butter’ - very quick & easy to make, I made with organic, all natural peanut butter.
Loving Earth super fertile maca slice - Another super easy mid morning or afternoon snack to tide the sugar cravings.
Tales of a Kitchen coconut dessert smoothie - I made this for dessert last night - replaced the banana with 1 large mango & subbed the quinoa flakes for a few macadamia nuts - delicious dairy & sugar free, creamy indulgence!
