‘If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.’ – Einstein I thought this was an interesting combination for a bridge between a smoothie and milk. I swapped out maple syrup for dates to make it a little sweeter as my banana wasn’t as ripe as …
‘This place where you are right now. God circled on a map for you.’ – Hafiz This milk is delicious and full of vital nutrients. My little one loves it and it’s great on days he needs something a little supplemental. Nuts are not only full of good fats, they are full of protein and …
‘The great gift of a spiritual path is coming to trust that you can find a way to true refuge. You realize that you can start right where you are, in the midst of your life, and find peace in any circumstance.’ – Tara Brach I thought this was a lovely recipe to start the …

It is gooey and chocolatey, without having dairy or chocolate. Great for a sophisticated adult dessert …
‘If you don’t eat well, you won’t be able to think, sleep or love well’ My little one has been quite ill recently, having spent a couple of days at school and contracted a few bugs at the same time, including RSV. Over the last few weeks, have been trying to make sure he eats …
