Vegan Quinoa & Tofu Risotto / Homemade Choccy Delight.

Quinoa & Tofu Risotto with Red Pepper & Chilli Hummus

The hardest thing about being Vegan...

Is having the TIME to prepare fresh, wholesome foods and the confidence to experiment. If you've got a busy week ahead, why not triple up on these ingredients #batchcook & freeze good healthy food then you can defrost them the night before you know you've got those busy days & reheat on the hob as soon as your home - no prep, no problem.

(Did you know, when we reheat foods in the microwave using a plastic container, parts of that carcinogenic plastic get into the food we eat, which could heighten our risk of deleloping cancer. Kind of the same reason one shouldn't drink from a plastic bottle that has been out in direct sunlight. So stick to the hob you beauties, we already saved on time by preparing batch <3)

💚🌿

I was blown away by messages recently, from those of you saying you’d felt inspired to go MEAT FREE!

Give yourselves a HUGE pat on the back for your dedication towards health & happiness and thank yourselves for being mindful about what you feed your beautiful body & powerful mind.
